The problem is that there seems to be a lot of companies out there making cheaply made chairs that look like the bottom one, I paid $500CAD for one a few years ago that had great reviews at the time, and then screws started falling out randomly, the weld on the left arm rest completely failed and it fell off, and it started squeaking like crazy with every little movement.
It really seems like there’s no point to paying over $300 for an office chair unless you’re willing to spend $800+, everything in the middle sucks ass.

Is that the sihoo c300? Been seeing it everywhere, tried the sharkoon lookalike and it felt amazing ngl… probably will get one like that

I believe in recliner supremacy (my computer is plugged into a TV)
Recently made a switch from a full height backrest office chair that has nice soft cushions all over (it was cheap and broke though) to an ergonomic chair with a mesh back, lumbar support, and a headrest. It looms like the one in the pic, but with a cushion seat. Its SOOOO much better. I believe were getting new chairs in my office soon, and I will definitely be trying to get the same chair.

Gaming chairs are for children.

i just recently bought a herman miller gaming embody and man, it was well worth the money, hands down the most comfortable thing ive ever sat on. my back pain is nearly after 2.5 weeks of owning it,
cool-snack
had a gaming chair, since 3 years I have an erfonomic chair, I know for sure, that in my next setup, chair will be as expensive as the hardware upgrade. the older I get, the more I need a good chair for my back. mostly for working.

I like office chair bcs it’s made of fabric and has holes so it feels comfortable sitting at on all weathers. Gaming chair with its rubber exterior feels sticky when humid

Ergo chairs are just superior.
Something a lot of people forget is most ergochairs aren’t actually particularly comfortable, they’re just decent. But for LONG TERM support and comfort they are amazing, which is the point. Often times what feels comfortable is not comfortable if you stay like that for a long time. It aches.

You can buy a refurbished Herman Miller chair for $600 on Amazon. Worth every fucking dollar.

My sciatica agrees with this

You guys gotta try out an office chair, it’s almost like it was designed for people to sit in it for hours without feeling discomfort, it’s crazy!

Why does my office chair need to look like a race car seat? Makes no damn sense, I just want to be comfortable with good back support.

Gaming specific chairs SUCK ASS, they’re uncomfortable car seats strapped to a stick on wheels. While a Quality office chair (same price) Will kick ass in the comfort department.
Remember: Before you buy anything that costs $50+ do some research at least. And 40% of internet traffic is bots

I actually love my gaming chair but then again before it I sat on a metal chair so who am I to judge ¯_(ツ)_/¯
(They are actually pretty comfy tho and I once accidentally slept in it while studying lol)

After having a gaming chair and then buying an office one i can confidently say that i can’t wait for this shit to break so i can buy a new gaming chair, maybe these work for shorter people but i’m like 1.95 and i can’t even rest my head on it

I’ve tried a couple different gaming chairs, and every one was like “yea, it’s good, buuuuut…..”, then I heard from a random youtuber talking about that model (if not looks really close) and gave it a try, best one BY A MILE

Ikea leather chair is the goat

Office chairs are just better, gotta take the armrests off tho, they always get in the way for me

My $320 lazy boy I got at staples absolutely demolishes my buddy’s secret labs chair so 👁 just buy the big and tall chair to get that recliner feel, unless you’re over 6 foot over 250

I wonder would it just be cheaper to go to a scrap yard and take an old car seat and convert it?

Same I have it

I mean, a $5000 steelcase or herman miller chair is definitely going to be a lot better. I’d love one, but I’m typically blowing that money elsewhere.

i have an ikea chair with great back support and a cushion for only ~40 usd

That’s the legit chair I found at a goodwill for 12 dollars lol it’s pretty good and it leans back
HOT TAKE: Good Office Chair > any gaming chair.
Save yourself money and spinal issues and just get an ergonomic office chair
I have the best of both worlds. An Audi seat bolted to an old office chair “frame”
There a lots of DIY ways to do it, I just used a wood square to make it work, reused the office chair arm rests.
You get a high quality seat for not much money. Went to junkyard and asked for a freshly crashed luxury car passenger seat.
Made a bench with the rear seats as well.
Wish I had a pic to share since I’m overseas I can’t, but it’s similar to the one [this dude’s brother](https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/comments/6we8yv/my_brother_built_a_gaming_chair_out_of_a_volvo/) made (posted on this sub no less lol)
