Non-bucket seat chairs for prolonged work.

[revoconner]

I am a digital artist and game developer by profession and has to work long hours at a stretch. I am currently using a simple leather chair that is not very ergonomic in the sense that it's very hard to seat on, not adjustable at all and the head rest is missing. 

I am 6'1" (183cm) and I was hoping anyone could point me to some comfortable chair for computer use with

• a fair (or rather lots of) adjustments,
• a nice head rest
• but in a non bucket style that is popular in the market these days as I have the same problem as @Slick with broad shoulders that curves forward making my muscles sore over prolonged use.
• A lockable wheel is an added bonus so that I can lift up my feet while I watch some random videos or enjoy a session of LTT videos.
• International shipping because I live in India (or an indian manufacture?) 

Thanks in advance!

Two of the main players in ergonomic office chairs are Steelcase and Herman Miller, both are really good afaik, come with excellent warranties but prepare to dish out a lot more money for them.

You could check out HumanScale as well, they make some nice work chairs.

Some personal favorites?

Steelcase Gesture Extremely comfortable, and designed to be sat in all day. Remember that chairs especial are very hard to tell if you like them if you have not sat in them yet.

I've also been looking at getting a chair as well, so count me in too.  I would like the NeedForSeat series if it was less expensive and wasn't bucket seat style.  (I don't want an "executive style office chair" type though.  I'm 6', 210#, and have been practically destroying our wooden kitchen chairs.  Also I sometimes sit sideways in the chair, just to shift positions.  (Maybe I sit too long? )

yeah sometimes i sit sideways too. I work for 14 hours straight (not counting the fries and bathroom breaks)

So I went for an Herman Miller clone and been using it for two months now. It's quite comfortable and I hadn't had any pain since. Search for Kings Furnishing AVT-08 on Amazon.
