    Are you in the UK?

    I have a Banana Company chair - the Butterfly Recliner. I love it.

    For office work, I am considering buying the Herman Miller chair - Fast Aeron | FastAeron | Wellworking

    I have an electric recliner that is very comfortable and helps me get up.

    I'm hoping to buy a chair called "Stress-Less". It's a contemporary recliner that comes in 3 sizes, small, medium and large. It's very expensive so I'm waiting a while. I've tried it out in the store and small seems to fit me but I would need to try it for a month before I know for sure.
    Diagnosis:
    Degenerative disc disease throughout spine
    Generalized disc bulging with mild narrowing of thecal sac in L2-L3, L3-L4, L4-L5, L5-S1.
    Moderate spinal stenosis L4-L5
    Foraminal narrowing
    Recent compression Fx at T10,T11.
    Treatment:
    Spinal decompression 2007
    Cortisone injection in lower back in 2010
    Relieved of pain for now
    Hope for ADR

    i tried these but needed a motor to make it lie down rather than rely on mechanics. it doesn't go completely flat either. it looks like a lovely chair if it fits you and works for your spine.

    I have one - it is the Consul model, and I LOVE IT!!!! Best seat in the house, and worth every penny. Seriously, it is the only 'good' part of back problems.

    Here's a couple of links to great past discussions on "Spine Patient-friendly" chairs:

    I'm saving my pennies for one of these... (Herman Miller's Aeron Chair).

    Update: yeah I read in a different forum that office chairs are good. I tried some out and they are but this is for my living room to relax in. I tried one out on hardwood floors and almost slipped. So it wouldn't work for my living room because I have hardwood floors

    Oh and I live in Oregon
