I'm spending a ridiculous amount of time on the computer lately, and my posture is suffering really badly as a result. I'm currently using an Ikea Flintan chair and it just doesn't suit me for some reason or another, leads to me slouching really badly. A long time ago I got to borrow someone's Herman Miller Mirra 2 chair, and honestly the thing was so comfortable that I could easily game 10 hours with no pain.
I have some problems though. The Mirra 2 is ridiculously expensive, something like $1100 new, at best $500 in good condition used. It is also made with very high quality parts and long term warranty, both things I don't really need because I'm only going to be on the computer this much for maybe a year at most. I also have a cat that likes to scratch things, and am generally a messy person, so whatever chair I buy will lose all resale value.
Is there any chairs that are as adjustable and ergonomic as the high end herman miller chairs, but cheaper and lower quality in general? Half of the things that make herman miller chairs so expensive are things I don't care about personally, the only thing I really care about is posture and ergomics for long term sitting.
I have an adjustable height desk and adjustable height monitor mount so I can rejig my entire setup if need be.
TL;DR
Looking for a chair that is
Very adjustable and ergonomic
Decent for long term sitting (10+ hours a day)
Either cat resistant, or something inexpensive to reupholster if it gets ripped up by a cat
Not extremely expensive
