I got my Humanscale Freedom from 2ndhnd.com/ 2 years ago and its been prefect. But the price has risen since and £200 for 2nd hand seems a bit too much.

If you need delivery outside London i think you need to call them and arrange it. (edited)
Much more comfy than office chairs
Brand new, Is a far cry from Ikea pricing - but perhaps refurbished?

I still have my Jarfvjallet, it's been my choice for the last year or so (maybe longer?). It's been a great chair and has really helped my back. Oddly enough I see more and more people on Zoom calls with the same (the headrest and back mesh are quite distinctive!). It's starting to creak occasionally, so I have to run round the bolts and tighten them up. That's the same for most chairs though.
As tardytortoise says though, don't underestimate the rest of it. Having a good chair means nothing if your desk is at the wrong height, isn't large enough, etc. I've also bought external monitors and external keyboards/mice for my two laptops, that has really helped with comfort and posture.
