I got a gaming chair at the beginning of lockdown, and I propped up my desk to get everything to the right height. The things I looked for : adjustable arm rests, adjustable height, adjustable tilt and headrest & lumbar support.

Also buy a 28" 4k monitor, proper keyboard and mouse device of choice (I got an apple magic pad).

All for ~ £500. It's worth the investment.

I got one in October because my old chair at home was dieing. I am so glad I did, its way better than the expensive chairs we have at the office, and less than half the price. I think its probably because it just has more adjustments, and I can get it exactly right for me and my desk.

Do you like the gaming chair? I ordered an aeron and didn’t like it, sent it back. Need a new chair. Decade old office chair is falling apart.

If you don't like the Aeron (I don't either), you can try the Sayl. It's still from Herman Miller but it's something else entirely.

I swear by my Herman Miller Embody chair. I used to have severe lower back pain, and this chair has helped me eliminate the pain by keeping a healthy posture. It's the only chair I found that locks my sitting position, keeping my hips the right way no matter how many hours I have to spend on it and still allowing healthy back movements.

yes, it's good : https://secretlab.co.uk/collections/titan-xl-series

I have the Omega and love it. Comes with a lumbar pillow too, which works great.
