Your preferred gaming chair

[MajorTendonitis]

Yet another question. Wondering what Misc’s preferences are for chairs when gaming on their computers .
I normally use your typical office chair , but have seen some nice chairs that I believe are called gaming chairs , with gamers in mind I’m assuming

LOL at anyone buying a gaming chair. Get a Herman Miller Aeron. Buy it used if you have to.

This, get a quality office chair designed for ergonomic support and comfort and not ****gy gaming streamer aesthetics

I bought a $400 gaming chair thinking I would be a pro gamer but it was uncomfortable as fk

Splurged on a steelcase gesture and it's comfy as fk. I like the adjustability the most. You can make the back support super rigid if you like, which I prefer for gaming. Then adjust the support to have a lot of give so you can lean back in the chair and still be upright, which i prefer for work or watching chit

Have a secret labs titan Evo as well, not even remotely as comfortable

[OptimusTrajan]

Gamer chairs are retarded.

I use some serta chair I got a while back, cheapo but honestly love it, have never had problems.

Whenever I stay at a hampton I always sit in the herman miller aerons they have there to see if my opinion of them has changed, but I hate that chair. Terribly uncomfortable. I could see an officecel maybe using it if they're forced to sit behind a desk for 8 hours, but for relaxing lounging/gaming for a couple of hours, it sucks dick unless you like sitting like a stiff.

Tried a secretlab, rock hard and terrible armrests.

Would like to try an embody but don't spend enough time in the chair to justify spending over a grand on it.

What happened to people just having regular office chairs and couches? Why is this "gamer chair" thing suddenly popular? Most of the ones I see just look like someone tried to take one of those boy racer racing seats they put in cars and stick it on office chair wheels.

[BigElephant]

I just got an executive chair with lots of padding. I think it's a Serta. It's really nice and comfortable but still new so hard to judge yet. I just replaced another executive chair that was getting kind of flat in the padding, it was just like a standard $100 one from Office Depot though.

The Aeron was awful for me, but:

This. It's an incredible chair, don't see myself getting another office chair again srs.

I can do 24+ hour gaming sessions in this chair with no problem at all, heh.

Don't ever get a "gaming chair", either get a high quality office chair like the ones mentioned above or sit on the couch

[LtGoose]

Herman Miller should be your only srs option DFS

[OneLegSquats]

Something that doesn't show skidmarks and pis stains
pis out smak

I just use a Playseat Challenge srs, has my wheel bolted to it, lift the wheel out the way and you got the most comfortable chair I've ever owned srs.

This is what I have at work. It’s pretty damn good too.

My couch. It's comfy asf and feels nice and cool on my ass every time I sit.

Herman Miller gang.... Highly recommend the atlas headrest... They match color and material perfectly to whatever model you have. Nice for those times you want to sit back. I got one a while back and it was worth every penny

Good chairs are "hard". They support your body and breathe well.

I've never thought about a headrest tbh.
Rarely use it in the car either so I probably don't need one.

Would that work for the Embody itself though? Looks like that attaches in a special way to the gaming version. I have the actual Embody from HM. I could see myself using a headrest sometimes.

EDIT: my bad, https://atlasheadrest.com/products/h...-medley-fabric there's one for the classic Embody too. Hnnnngh, reps dude.

They make it for every color and model I'm pretty sure, including the non gaming ones.

It's great for when I just want to sit back. The embody is perfect for ergonomics but not for chillin. Now I can put my feet up and have the headrest support when I am lounging back.

It's not really needed for sitting straight up with correct posture but if you're like me and lounge back alot it's great.


It just basically clamps to the chair, no damage or alterations needed. Matches absolutely perfectly.

I pre ordered mine and waited like 8 months for it before they launched em

Sadly they don't have mine though. I have Medley Trail (1HA02) - it is listed under 'how do I determine my fabric type and color', with a white frame. In the selection part above they don't have it at all sadly.

Think I should contact them?

Worth a shot, they may have one coming out. They were already producing other ones when I had pre ordered mine. Seemed like they were growing and coming out with more options but I haven't checked back since I got mine back in August 2023

Idk for me the difference is night and day, I couldn't go back to no head rest and this one is the only one on market that just looks and feels straight up factory. It turned a great chair into the perfect chair for me. Pricey but so is the chair

AWARE.

I got an elusive highback V1 off FB market locally for $225. Originally was over $1000. Thing is an absolute tank and despite being in perfect condition (but in that beige cubicle wall fabric) I sent my back and bottom cushions to Crandall office furniture and they did a custom "off menu" upholstery job and sent a new piston for about $300

Done. I even asked if they can custom make me one, srs.

Steelcase makes insanely good chairs. I bought my Leap v2 back in like 2017, replaced the cylinder when I did even though it didn't need it.

I work from home so that's basically 7 years of constant every day use, zero issues, thing still looks in great shape too. Fantastic chair and super comfortable. Only thing I may upgrade to is a Steelcase Gesture eventually, but only after this thing finally dies if it ever does.

Herman miller, got one on sale for 600 forgot what model

But I do more gaming on my lazy boy. Dfs.

[Unstumpable]

I use a Herman Miller Embody for my gaming set up. And use an Aeron for my office. I like the Embody more, but both solid.
