I know you said that you weren't looking to spend a lot of money. I was going through the cycle of replacing my chair every year or so (because frankly, they all suck). I put some cash aside for a couple years and finally picked up a real office chair (steelcase gesture). Sure, it may have cost the same as 6 chairs, but I get a 10 year full replacement warranty which will save both my wallet and my back in the long run. Maybe you aren't in position to make this purchase now, but you owe it to yourself to save for a good chair.
Have you ever tried the leap v2? I am currently using a leap v2 that I got from the office and I find it semi uncomfortable after awhile when gaming, but it doesn't bother me too much when I working
Last year I also bought, and returned, a Herman Miller X Logitech Embody because it was too uncomfortable.
The gesture looks nice, but after reading reviews people claim it's basically the same comfort level as a leap v2
I like my Leap v2 more than the Embody but it really just depends on every individual. If there's anywhere you can try these chairs (like an office supply or an office refurbishment store) then I'd strongly recommend doing so.
