Ditch the gaming chair and get an ugly office monstrosity.

    Get an Ikea Markus.

    It’s not ugly, it’s boring looking.

    But it’s better than any gaming chair I’ve sat in and it’s cheap.

    Just swapped my chair recently to something similar. My back has never thanked me more

    I got me a Haworth Fern never thought it could be that much better to justify the cost. Boy was I wrong.

    I’m definitely not saying all non-gaming chairs are ugly. I’m just saying that switching from my fancy gaming chair to this boring, comparatively ugly Serta Sittrue Rayne was the best decision I’ve ever made. Even a cheaper yet “real” office chair has changed my life.

    Comfort > Aesthetic

    Most gaming chairs made to look like bucket seat of a car are not made to be ergonomic. They are made that way to make people buy them because they evoke … racing … gaming … so good. In reality office chairs are made for long periods of siting and are much better at that.

    I’m thinking of replacing my gaming chair with an office chair too, because it’s no longer comfortable and I don’t think it’s worth buying another gaming chair.

    Your chair looks super comfortable.

    Honestly after having a big office chair I don’t think I can go back to a normal gaming chair the comfort just hits different

    Been using Ikea chairs for years. All this gaming marketing never got a chance with me.

    Gaming chairs are extremely bad. Office chairs are the most comfortable in my xp

    I think it looks ok you not looking at the chair your sitting in it

    Personally I consider gaming chairs a monstrosities.

    I got a refurbished Steelcase Amia, it’s very nice

    Got myself 2x Humanscale Freedoms
    One with a headrest and both are exceptionally comfortable

  15. I’ve got a Noble Chairs HeroTX (fabric) which is a nice in-between. Has great lumbar support and looks smart enough. I think Richard from Digital Foundry uses it too. Never have any back pain or the like when using it.

  16. I love my Secret Labs gaming chair. It’s comfortable as fuck and my back is properly supported. Reclining all the way back when I’m tired watching YouTube is one of my favourite things to do.

    Chairs probably work differently for different people, but I’ve never had issues with at least one chair each from some of the more reputable gaming chair brands (had a DXRacer before this and it was also great).

    I use my dad’s old Aeron. The left armrest is wobbly, and I keep having to move it back into place, but other than that, it’s still a great chair.

    It’s far better than the Ikea Millberget and the Inland gaming chair I had before it.

    Ive had a leather office chair for at least 16 years, ive no idea how long my mother in law had it before that and its still outlived around 6 gaming chairs ive attempted to use over that time.

    Most gaming chairs are built like shit.

    My ass thanked me so much for this boring-ass office chair.

    Gaming chairs are such a scam imo. Just get an ergonomic one. No matter how good a chair looks, you don’t see it while you’re sitting on it.
