Those kneeling chairs..

[mrapoc]

so we have a collection of people looking for new chairs? lol

i went to staples today..and well they were all geared towards style (i dont think any even had adjustable backs  )  i also visited some furniture stores...£200 for a seat that the back doesnt even adjust with??? no thanks...

currys and dixons had...3 between them and they werent  that inspiring..

looks like viking direct or similiar might be the best bet

as for glenns link...that doesnt look half bad

I bought one of these last Christmas for myself:

I did not post this link earlier because they messed up on the delivery but that was more the courier's fault I guess than the supplier.

The chair is OK with adjustable everything but its one failing is that however tight I screwed the clamp that held the back at the height I wanted it, slowly but surely it would work its way down.

Well not wanting the hassle of trying to find another one and the fun and games of getting this one returned with the use of my power drill and a bolt the back is now permanently set at the height I like it to be at. If you follow the link you will see there are others to choose from but as as been said already there is going to be no better way to pick the right one for you than to go somewhere where you can sit in one and try it.

initial thoughts? it says for intensive use so perhaps its up to the idnetter lifestyle?

While I agree that the correct chair will make a diference I would sugest consulting a good Chiropractic as correcting your posture is what they do best. When I was suffering from back pain caused by wear on my hips I consulted a chiropractic and could not believe the diference she made to my quality of life.

iv emailed around a few specialised back care chair specialists.

looks like ill be spending (parents wil be spending  ) at least £100

iv come to the conclusion the chair will definately have to be orthopaedic

Seriously, you need an RH.

They look good Seb but I notice they're a bit quiet on prices, which suggests they are seriously expensive.  The one my chiropractor suggested was around £850.

[Dangerjunkie]

I think RH come in at about £800-£1000 (armrests and head rest extra.) The fabric covers do come off for washing (unlike most chairs) so you should be able to change them to prolong the chair's life.

If I understand right they don't sell to he public only to dealers which I think is why there are no prices on their site. If you google for the model name you want you should find a dealer.

Cheers,
Paul.

Thanks Paul.  I did just that and found this place in Bakewell, Derbyshire.

Their prices, whilst hardly cheap, don't look as outrageous as some I've seen!
