Best chair for music production?

[QuestionAsker]

Is there a specific chair that's most loved by music producers?

Or one you use and would recommend?

My current chair is literally almost a 90 degree "L" shaped hard chair with almost no padding and needless to say, it's very uncomfortable. Looking to up my chair and desk game.

I know Herman Miller chairs are amazing, although way out of my budget. I'd buy one used, but I'm currently living in Mexico, I've seen some of them on Facebook Marketplace, but they're still around $1000 USD.

I've had occasional back issues since a sports injury in the 90s, when a chiropractor fixed what a GP, physiotherapist and osteopath had missed. (Chiro has a mixed rep but it was recognised by the British Medical Association and mine is a proper qualified doctor.) So I've seen him on and off since and trust his advice. When I wanted a new office chair for my computer desk, he said to get one which goes high enough to support my thighs with my feet planted firmly on the ground. I'm 6'1" and that was surprisingly difficult to find. I did find one for just over £200 ($256) and it's been great for my back. I also bought some soft armrests, because the chair's armrests are hard. Much nicer.
