Im in need of a really good computer chair. I have tried so many and they all mess with my legs and either give them pains or make my feet go cold. I dont understand why. I have really tried alot of chairs. but i always get the same result.
 
Sounds like you should talk to a doctor before you seek a chair. Knowing why you have the symptoms you have might better help solve the problem.

well if he can actually feel the edge of the chair cutting into his legs, then its probably cutting his blood flow as well. if thats whats happening, not only is it cutting the blood flow to your feet it can actually create a blood clot that might result in having a pulmonary embolism.

also, when sitting in any chair you shouldn't sit perfectly still and you still need good posture which can be ignored if you're completely enamored in something you're doing on the computer.

(disclaimer: im not a doctor lol)

yeah thats my worry,
 
I've got a pretty standard gray office chair, which I never use. I've found office chairs to be pretty uncomfortable, but then again I'm a pretty big guy. Luckily for me my computers are all in my room, so I just use my couch. I'm sitting pretty far back, but it's comfortable, and I can use this computer for anything. Movies, I can kick back and watch, or lay down and be uber-lazy. Gaming, i've got an entire couch cushion to use as a mousepad with my optical mouse. It works nicely.
 
What I did is I went to office depot and tried out a bunch of the chairs they had on display. You should try that, it really gave me a good idea on what I wanted. Just sitting in the chair, seeing how it felt when I leaned back.

I use a mesh chair.. I like them a lot better than leather or other "solid" materials.
 
^ agrees with him. Mesh chairs can be very comfortable. Im still using my 40$ office depot 'leather' chair though. The leather is the absolute lowest quality stuff ever made, but its stayed together for a few years and never gets uncomfortable.
 
I found a decent cheap knockoff of the more expensive "elastic-mesh seat and back with lumbar support and adjustable headrest" chairs at officemax for $129.98. It has a 1yr warranty which you can extend to 3yr for another $20 if you want. The back also reclines and locks at whatever angle you want.
