Is it worth spending $150 on an office chair?

If you work from home even 3 days per week, absolutely. A dining chair or couch causes posture problems within weeks. Even a $100 task chair with basic lumbar support dramatically reduces back and neck strain.

How can I make a budget chair more comfortable?

Add a gel seat cushion ($20-30), an external lumbar pillow ($15-20), and a footrest if your feet do not rest flat. These $50-60 in accessories can make a budget chair comfortable for 8-hour workdays.
