Where do you find thickly padded office-type chairs?

I picked up a Herman Miller Aeron from a guy off CL years ago. Yeah, yeah, I know Aerons have a whole fanboy mentality going for them, but honestly, it's the most comfortable chair I've ever used.

With the mesh back and seat, I never get too hot sitting in it for long periods. It's very adjustable.

And you can take the arms off, raise or lower them to whatever fits your frame.

One note, the lumbar support on the bar is a must, if the chair doesn't have one you can get them separately.

Keep an eye out and you can often bag one for 200$ or less.

If you're normal size guy, go for the C size, though (the biggest), B and A are pretty narrow.

I'd have never thought about that, but good point. Those chairs look $$$ though.

@Vigo: I've thought of this, but I need four or five of them, and would like them to match.

I have a Roc'n'Soc throne that's pretty nice, but they're still about $200. Those are supposed to be hand-assembled, but still...

I don't see why chairs cost so. The mechanics aren't ground-breaking, and foam isn't that expensive even today.


What do casino chairs look like?  And where would I look for those?  Where would I look for security guard chairs?


I happened to find this in an ebay chair search....

I just did a google search for "Casino chair" and turned up several companies that make them. The down side is that they generally look like what you'd think casino chairs would look like. Not sure if I'd want that in the house  :)

The dealer's chairs look more like regular office chairs, but I don't know how you separate the bad from the good.

This is the place I was planning to order barstools from and I noticed the casino barstools had much thicker padding:

But they don't seem to have the dealer style chairs.

I don't have any personal experience with them yet.
