It's true that for many of us who spend so many hours at our machines we tend to not spend much time thinking about our chair. If you can afford to look at the HMI product lines, or you have access to a used chair, there are a couple I would recommend to anyone who spends more time at their computer than in bed. Check out the HMI chair line here: http://www.hermanmiller.com/CDA/SSA/Product/Thumbnail/0,1593,a10-c440-pc1,00.html I've sat in each of these chairs at some point and chose an Aeron for my desk at work but I have an Equa 2 (at a much lower price) in my home office. For IT people or programmer types, I'd highly recommend either the Embody or the Cella chairs. They do a great job of cradling your back and the seats have a way of massaging your bottom to keep blood flowing.

Everyone got a memory foam chair which has to be the best chair ive ever used whilst sitting at a computer for long periods of time. You never get that numb achey feeling at all. Also another good tip, make sure your chair is set high enough so your knees are below the base of the seat and your thighs are angled down slightly = more comfort. When i worked in IT support.
