It makes a difference—I now have a good, high quality chair that cost over 250€ (not from my own pocket) and it’s close to perfect—I can recline it to a comfortable position that is not possible with an “ordinary office” chair (I used to break them down on a regular basis). Despite being advertised as “super-resistant”, this one already broke twice (covered by warranty). And when I had to sit on an “ordinary office” chair, I found out that I cannot work for more than an hour or two before I get serious pain in my back—this seems to be related to the monitor being beneath the eyes and the inability to recline—I (like to) have the monitor exactly at the eye level and looking slightly upwards.

Could you post a link to the kind of chair that you got?
It’s not quite what I have (this one is some year old model), but seems close: link here
I either misremember the price, or it went down significantly (or the combination...)
