Steelcase Leap v2. Refurbished models can regularly be found on Craigslist for about $250-300.
It's an incredibly comfortable chair, arguably much more comfortable than the more well-known Aeron, which I used for a long time. I also used a Humanscale Freedom. Compared to both, settling into a Leap is like sinking into a luxuriously soft car seat. It has levers for everything, and it's just really pleasantly soft. I've also tried the newest Herman Miller chairs (Mira etc.) and they are nowhere as good.
The Wirecutter [1] has recommended the Leap repeatedly. Their current choice is the Steelcase Gesture, which is very similar to the Leap. If you can afford a new Gesture, a great choice, but if you want to save money and can find a refurb Leap, go for that instead.
Note: Avoid leather as a material. It's not anywhere near as breathable.
