I used to buy the plush leather type office chairs in the $100-$200 range (probably my first mistake) and kept having to replace them when the padding wore out. I've worked from home for years now so my chairs see a lot of seat time. I finally switched to an all mesh chair and picked up a Workpro Quantum 9000 from Office Depot. It's been 3 years now and it's still comfortable and looks brand new.

So I'd vote +1 for a mesh type of chair that fits your budget.
