I would like to spend no more than $300 if possible. I'm thinking office/ gaming chair.

Go to a store with chairs and sit in them. No other way of doing it reliably. 

 

I'm very picky with my chairs, in particular the back height and position. I'm 6'5", so back support is pretty important to prevent getting back pain.

Also wondering. I'm 6,3 (194cm) and most chairs feel like they are going to destroy my back. Back support is super important

To be honest gaming chairs are generally overpriced by a lot, but I have zero regrets since purchasing this Maxnomic Titanus XL a few years ago: https://www.needforseatusa.com/en_us/shop/chairs/maxnomicr-titanus.html

 

I'm not big, just tall but it has been great - the first desk chair I've ever had that actually had full back/neck support. Most chair backs only come up to about my shoulders so there's nothing to support my neck/head, but this thing is gigantic. 

I'm 194.5cm / just a titch over 6'4" and about 210lbs at the moment. Needforseat actually recommended I get a smaller chair because this one is meant for really tall and very heavy people (they initially suggested it for 6'5" to 6'8" and 275-350lbs) but it's the best chair I've ever sat in.

I'm 193 but not in the US, do you perhaps know any other brands worth looking at? Back support is super important
