Office chairs for Wimmenfolk?

[primsong]

So, it appears I am in need of a new office chair for here in front of my ol' Dell, the previous one was a hand-me-down from my brother that finally gave up the ghost from one too many violent flops into it by my teen son.

The problem is, where do I find a good chair that will be ergonomic and all that jazz that is for a woman-sized torso instead of for a 6-foot man?  I want arm-rests, but they are invariably too high for me because I'm just not that tall/long for instance.  All the chairs I poked through at the local office supply place were either meant for men, meant for extra-large men or were super cheapo with no arm-rests.  What gives? I know there's a LOT of women in front of computers out there.

Any tips, hints or womanly wisdom here?  Where did you gals find your chairs? Do you like them?

I have an Aeron chair. They come in multiple sizes, are stupidly expensive, but are awesomely comfortable.

Oh wow, they are stupidly expensive, but now I want one... will have to shop around and see if someone has them here to try out. Thanks for the recommend!
