You can look at Featherlite Amaze chair. It is very comfy, ergonomic and has adjustable arm rest to suit your needs. There are some other expensive Featherlite chairs available and the Helix in particular can also be considered if it fits your budget.

I was browsing Steelcase chairs only today, and I noticed that the arm slides forwards and backwards. This would facilitate keeping it at desk height, perhaps. Otherwise the arm must be low enough to fit under the desk.

The only problem is the budget. It is way over your budget. And mine!

Yes, I purchased Featherlite Amaze Highback Grey color last month. Seat base thickness couls have been a bit more, but otherwise very good chair.

Do you think we can add additional cushion and fix that issue or would that be a useless attempt?

It's not a deal breaker for sure. If you like, you can use additional cushion.
I see you are based out of Bangalore. There is a featherlite showroom in Marathahalli which has one entire floor dedicated to their office chair collection. If you can, do check out in person.

I am using it like this right now. Pretty comfortable for long duration.

I don't care for mesh backs, as they give unlimited access to mosquitoes!

Don't know if this true for the fancier brands, but my budget chair also imprints its mesh pattern on my back. I get over this by draping a towel, but it would be nice not to have to.

Finally bought Featherlight Amaze Gray color from Marathalli showroom today. Paid 10251 for the chair and they assembled it then and there. Carried it along inbthe car. Thanks all for the suggestions.

Guys,
I'm wondering if any of you have information about office chairs that come with electrical seats for height adjustment, calf support, ottoman, and backrest angle recline, similar to features found in cars. Are there any office chairs on the market that offer these advanced adjustments? I'd love to hear about any models or brands that you know of. Thanks!

Check out the Sleep Company's chairs. They are quite comfortable and have adjustable armrests as well as a padded fabric back which are options that both of you are looking for. There are mesh back models also but one has a padded back with lumbar support.

I also replaced my almost 20 year old home desk chair earlier this year and padded fabric backed chairs are extremely rare nowadays, especially high backed ones. The options are usually mesh or leatherette. I absolutely detest the mesh backed chairs and leatherette is not suitable for our climate unless its for a chair thats used for messy work or multiple butts.
I ended up with a Durian Oxford chair but I would not recommend the company at all. The first chair I got was defective and it took 2 months of continuous calls to get it replaced. The chair itself is just ok. Not as comfortable as the one it replaced but not uncomfortable either.
Paid 10k for it.
Then I wandered into a Sleep Company store one day and saw the chairs and since my headache with Durian was ongoing I tried them out. They were pretty comfortable and the range started from 12-13k so I was kicking myself for not doing my research properly. They should have a gallery in most Metro cities. I also bought a couple of pillows from them and am very happy with them. Again after a lot of looking and purchases I finally found a replacement for my decades old original Contour pillow. That too was another problem. Cant get regular sponge contour pillows anymore. They are all memory foam which I dislike because they heat up too much and other options are way too stiff.

Thanks a lot for that. I've seen their ads a lot on Adstagram, and wondered if it was all hot air or if they are actually good.

Looks like they have a store nearby too

Folks,

I am looking to buy a couple of chairs for home-office use. Unlike the various options discussed on this thread, my budget is very low (typically around 6-8K). But I do not want a sub-standard product. My existing chairs have lasted just over an year or slightly longer before they konk-off.

Based on my quick search on Amazon, I found some options slightly above my budget, but wanted to check if anyone had any experience with this brand? The reviews are good (I typically avoid sponsored products on Amazon, and keep an eye for 1 star ratings, since there is a major fake review scam on Amazon). The product comes with a 3 year warranty (something that is a must have for me).

Any thoughts/inputs? Any alternative ones that I need to consider?

Featherlite Astro is a good option in the ~8k INR range. Have one in the family, primary user is very satisfied with it.

Gents, is there a scientific reason behind the flood of mesh back chairs in the market? It looks cool sure but doesn't 'look' comfortable.

If the logic behind mesh seats is somethng like better airfllow/cooling to reduce sweating, the obvious question would be - why don't cars have mesh front seats?

Certainly, mesh back chairs are more breathable. I use them at home and office and they are certainly more comfortable in summers. Probably in cars, given they are in a moving environment, they may not be adequately firm to stay in place and cushion the impact i of the rear passenger n case of an accident? Safety reasons, perhaps?
