My take on high-end vs. cheaper Staples office chair:
I used to think you need the absolute best office chair out there: I had some German high-end chair and then a Swiss Giroflex 33 (Model 33-7777... below on that page http://www.giroflex.com/content/produkte/giroflex_33.php http://www.giroflex.com/content/produkte/giroflex_33.php), both around a thousand bucks.
Now I'm sitting comfortably in some decent Staples office chair (adjustable armrests, mesh back, leather seat), that I picked up for 150 bucks.
Not much difference.
The MAIN thing is that your posture is good, and that once in a while you stretch and exercise!
Advice for founders and small business: buy a decent but cheap Staples office chair at first (not the comfy big one, but the lean adjustable kind with good armrests, so you can relax your arms while you're typing). The high-end market doesn't really improve your experience that much.
OTOH, if you have the spare cash to blow... a high-end office chair IS marginally better.
