18. It's been a few years since I looked, but I like Steelcase's "Articulated Seating" models.

The "plus" model can hold up to 500 lbs, at much higher cost.

Note that I don't have any medically diagnosed back probelms, just a sore back from grad school days, when my desk chair was whatever was left over from the fire sale at the orphanage. Faculty got the chair above, and it was sooooo comfortable.

These may be pricier than you were thinking of, but they are quality products that hold up well.
