My son is after an office chair for around £250, apparently a head rest is preferred. His company will pay for it but will need to have a receipt, so second hand is out.

Any advice what he should be looking at for that price?

I have the JÄRVFJÄLLET at £229; similar but feels significantly more substantial than the MARKUS.

Long term reviews seemed to say the MARKUS seat fabric/cushion doesn't last long. JÄRVFJÄLLET seat is leather (assumed it was artificial but just looked it up).

Edit - the MARKUS didn't seem to work so well in a semi-reclining position - which may be important if he's keen on the headrest. Maybe it was lack of moveable armrests.

There are a lot more third-party addons for the MARKUS though:

Interesting, we actually went to IKEA on Monday and we discounted that one because we assumed it was a synthetic cushion that would break up over time (like most of the do). I think he found it quite comfortable, the leather cushion could swing it.
