Potentially. There's still a significant difference in quality between inexpensive and expensive chairs, so the expensive chair should last you longer in addition to being more comfortable. I bought a really nice leather chair about 6 years ago that is still in very good shape. The leather is still perfect, the cushions aren't deformed, and the mechanism is in good shape. It only needs to last another 14+ years before I break even :) The real reason I bought it is comfort though; my back was starting to hurt after sitting in my old chair for an hour or two, and this chair doesn't cause that problem at all. Good furniture is usually worth spending real money on.
