Treehugger: Think Office Chair
I'm a big fan of Bill McDonough's approach as described in his book Cradle to Cradle. Here's a product that is claimed to follow those principles.
Treehugger: Think Office Chair
The Think chair should make us all do just that. Created in collaboration with McDonough Braungart Design Chemistry (the fathers of "Cradle-to-Cradle" design and other smarties, this task seat was designed to make a dent in the mid-priced ergonomic seating market, but also to raise the bar for eco-conscious design. Ergonomically, it's an overachiever, "intuitively" knowing how your spine needs to move. But more importantly, it's manufactured from 41% recycled materials and entirely from materials deemed by MBDC as safe to the environment. At the end if its (presumably long) lifecycle, it's 99% recyclable and can supposedly be disassembled in five minutes. One helluva "sitting machine", as its manufacturer, Steelcase, calls it. Especially when specified in hot pink upholstery. At $620, its cheaper--and more intelligent--than, say, that Eames Aluminum Group chair you've been coveting.
Forget about office chairs, try a bean bag chair. Our bean bag chairs come in a variety of fabrics, and some have removable covers for ease of care. Find a bean bag that is right for you at TheBeanbagChairOutlet.com.

As long as a chair is ergonomic, in my view it's a good chair.
There are so many different posts on the web stating "this is the best Ergonomic Office Chair ever".
Each user has different needs and as long as these are met (comfort and support) all is good.
The fact that it's environmental friendly is also a bonus, i did read that there is a chair out there with a zero carbon footprint, again a good thing, I'll have another look for it and post a link.
