You need a new office chair, but don’t want to spend more than roughly $500. No problems. Meet the UpDown Ergo ProFlex<\/a>. It misses out on some premium features (e.g., depth-adjustable lumbar), but offers a lot of comfort per dollar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Frame flexibility is also great. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The seat pan and backrest don’t have a tonne of flex, but they do allow you to move around in the chair – you never feel like you’re locked into one place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
