Sit on this

My current computer chair is so old that when I sit on it a little cloud of dust puffs up from the seat and it’s so uncomfortable that often after long periods of working everything feels achy and unsupported. Which is to say I  hate it and it’s time for a new one. But what kind? I’m working on a limited budget. Can anyone recommend and cheap but not ass-, neck-, and back- killing chair?

    I wish I could, but I just use a black steel chair.

    How about an exercise ball as a chair? A lot of positive points discussed at Lifehacker and Gearfire. Keep your old chair until you've become accustomed to sitting on the exercise ball.

    Been through 2 computer swivel chairs…with the resulting aching bottom. A solution I found was to buy one of those cushions for wheelchairs–I got one with memory foam. Works as advertised, but I got it a little small, so the cushion sometimes slides out of place. I would get a bigger one if it was readily available, and if it wasn't pricy.

    Unfortunately, I suspect that chairs are like shoes, where you get what you pay for. I use a pillow. Meanwhile, ol' Trapp is finally on twitter. Just what we needed… More useless comments! Hopefully not. But how is it that I already have 3 followers, and I have no idea who they are?

    My advice is to steal, or have someone steal for you, a chair from Fox News or something like that. I know from my recent personal experience in allowing my work to donate a chair for my new apartment: it's all about who you know. Just talk to the guys who move the furniture around, they probably can hook you up.
