Beware that you need to “try” these chairs, and you need to pay attention to clothing when you try them too. A chair that’s super comfortable with jeans and a winter coat might turn out to be an absolutely horrible back-twisting wedge of slipperiness once you’re back home in sweatpants and a hoodie. Or in various more advanced states of undress.
In practice, this is relevant once you’ve already bought a chair and want to maximize the comfort you can get from it, balanced against the difference of comfort you could buy & chance of getting that comfort (or some lower value, or some higher) & money you’d need to spend.
When purchasing a new chair, I don’t think this will be an important factor in the overwhelming majority of situations.
I have always been able to find a comfortable computer (arm)chair for $100 or less, usually on sale at Staples.

I put a blanket over my chair. It seems to work.
