Any PC brahs have a nice gaming/office chair they could recommend?

[Retoaded]

Got to pull double duty as I am still working from home for the foreseeable future.

And we have a nice tasteful home so no neon yellow or red chairs.

A built in buttkicker in the seat would be nice but reading the built in ones suck.

Don't need built in sound.

What is your budget? I am looking for the same. I work from home 10 hours a week. My current Ikea chair that I got for like $30 is on its way out. I have looked around for some that were in stock at Office Depot and most of the sub $200 kind of feel cheap. There is a $199 Lazy Boy office chair at Costco that isn't bad but I don't think the arms adjust and will not fit under my desk. They have a DPS 3-D Insight gaming chair with Ok reviews for $169 but none in stock. Report back here with what you end up getting. I am not really looking to spend more than like $250 but the ones I really like are $400+.

I think they're $1200 new, but you can get them used for like $200-$400. Mine is 20 years old (I bought it used) and is great

I've had a lot of the "gaming" chairs like DxRacer, and most of them are just cheap gimmicks.

I got my current desk chair from a thrift shop, some of them are actually really nice and get some high-end furniture. Mine is a solid wooden old fashioned desk chair with a leather seat cushion. It's the perfect size and way better built than anything you would find at most office supplies stores, made with real materials unlike most new stuff. Might not be the best thing for someone who lives on their computer all day, but it's perfect for me and gives a nice classy look to my desk area.

Been looking for used aerons. Haven't found one under 500 yet

Same, I was looking at the costco gaming chair too, but think I might get one of their other ones online.
A good chair runs at least 250-400.
I like the OMEGA gaming chairs but they’re too expensive.

I got a gaming chair from Wayfair last April for $120 on sale and by August it was deflating itself and wouldn’t hold position. & now the seat cushion is out and I can feel the metal base sitting on it. & also it has a 6 degree lean to the right which really fcked up my hips. It contributed to a pinched nerve from it and been going to the chiropractor the last 6 weeks.

TLDR.
Seat cushion and a strong hydraulic/base is important.

I've had my Secret Lab Titan for about a year now and it's great.

I could go 500 but not buying new for a grand. I can expense it or at least half but our majority owner would WTF me if it was over 500 probably.

Sams had some Respawn chairs that were ghetto looking but surprisingly comfortable. More comfy than the lazy boys they were sitting beside.

Just looked up those Omega chairs look awesome. The adjustable arms would be good since I am flight simming or playing Elite Dangerous half the time with controls to either side.

Plus the recline looks good so I could bloat and rot max while VRing and flying around.

I would prefer 3 hundy to 5 though, but you get what you pay for I guess.

[LtGoose]

I don't have a chair to recommend but I've had a chair cushion that helps my old chair

https://purple.com/seat-cushions/office-chair

I got it as a gift but I understand it's pricey for a cushion. They have cheaper options as well. I've had it for a year and a half so far and it feels great to sit in.

I can't say how I would feel about it if I had paid full price though so I can't give a proper review

Been looking for used aerons. Haven't found one under 500 yet

are you in the USA?

I have purchased a few for $200-$400 in Michigan

got some for me and all my homies

if you're a neighboring state, or somewhere between MI and SC we can probably get you one

Hey haterade. Picked up mine like over two years ago on Craigslist for about $350 actually. I was checking on aerons for a friend and noticed they went up post quarantine

[HotDamnItsDavid]

Herman Miller Aeron here. Most comfortable chair I’ve ever sat in. Don’t even try to get any of those gimmicky gaming chairs. Check Craigslist for used aerons. They can be found for $300-400. When offices close down they’re always getting rid of them. Good luck.

Alabama unfortunately. There are a ton of them in Atlanta but they are all around 600 with the posturefit. I'll likely get one sometime soon. My iron series dxracer is on its way out.

[iifymbro]

in for answers, been using the amazon heavy/xl one or whatever it's called and while it's comfy enough I def am rekting my back. Hard to find chairs with enough padding on the bottom to sit for a few hours when you weigh north of 200lb

If you haven't already, you may want to look into an adjustable sit/stand desk converter. I got one on Amazon for less than $150. When my back starts hurting, I can stand for a while and still work.

This is the one I got, but there are less expensive ones:

[Big Natural]

Well I have sat on this for 4 years:

$1300, Herman Miller Aeron.

And it was 'nice'.

Than I sold it and got this instead:

$160, Ikea Markus

And it gives me better back and arm support than the Aeron.

Got this one, 2 years old and not a scratch or wear on the leather yet. Lumbar pillow for the lower back is great. Arm rests are configurable in every dimension.
Wouldrecommend/10

[Retoaded]

They got some tacky chairs but sort of mirin this




I may get one of these Omega chairs after doing some reading. Or a used Hermann Miller as discussed above.

[Destor]

Used Aeron is probably the way to go, or a Steelcase Leap or used Gesture

I use a Steelcase Gesture and love it but not cheap when new

[mikeoc322]

I bought an open box Steelcase Leap V2 on eBay for a couple hundo 7+ years ago, and it's been amazing ever since. Easily my favorite chair. Durable as a tank.

[mgftp]

OP, you like peanuts?

Have this exact chair. It's awesome/10. Don't buy from Madison Seating. Either buy used for a good price, or buy it new straight from Steelcase.

Yuup I like peanuts.

[VTheKing]

I bought a Steelcase Leap last year, no regrets. Durable, ergonomic and versatile. Only drawback is lack of headrest if you usually lean on one.

[Didlid]

I can't recommend one but whatever you do don't buy a secret labs titan chair. I have one and for the price tag its super uncomfortable and already falling apart (had it 3 years). Also the arm rests dont come high enough up so instead of being able to rest my elbows at a 90 degree angle and have my whole forearm flat. My wrists touch but elbows dont reach lol. Honestly i regret buying it.

For reference im 6'3 270ish

[iifymbro]

damn the steelcase gesture looks hnnng af, tempted to buy one off their site and avoid all the used/refurbished landmines, looks like ~1k for the quick ship black one

[IMathew]

There is a $199 Lazy Boy office chair at Costco that isn't bad but I don't think the arms adjust and will not fit under my desk.

Actually purchased that lazyboy chair for the wife a while back, she likes it but I can't stand leather chairs. Can confirm that the armrests only flip up a bit.




I second the steelcase leap suggestions, got mine for $300 from my old university when they did a building remodeling. It doesn't have a headrest and I cba to buy one to attach, so it's not the best chair to recline in.

I've only sat in an aeron for brief periods but found them to be comfortable as well, they're universally praised for a reason.

Wat? I've had my cookies & cream breathable material (forget what it's called) Titan for about a year and it's great. I'm also ~ 6'3''/6'4'' but only 186 lbs. right now as I have been cutting so maybe our size difference is a factor.

My mate had one of those titan chairs, after about 2 months the metal chair leg snapped and put him on his ass. He's only about 85kg.

[OptimusTrajan]

I have a Herman Miller Mira 2. Great chair with support and airflow. You can actually sit in it all day without discomfort.
