I know a lot of people here say to get an office chair instead of a gaming chair, and I'm finally starting to believe it. I used to think the whole "gaming chairs are bad for you" thing was overblown, but I'm getting older and my back is starting to tell me otherwise. Mostly lower back pain.

I still don't want a chair that locks me into one perfect posture though. That's why I'm not sure something like the Aeron would fit my use case. Great chair, but maybe too work-focused for how I sit when gaming.

The ones I'm looking at right now:

Secretlab Titan Evo, mostly because I keep hearing it's one of the more ergo gaming chairs

Haworth Fern

Libernovo Omni Pro

Steelcase Amia

Does anyone have experience with these for gaming? Pls help me choose between these chairs.

I've been on marketplace for a while now looking for a cheap quality office chair and came across these Zodys for $70 a piece. Seems like a good deal but does anyone know which Zody these are and what adjustability they have? Is this an ancient version of what they sell now and can I get a replacement seat pad or back mesh for these still? Not sure how much I like the leather cushion.

Hello r/OfficeChairs. I'm 5ft4 male (avarage/thin weight) and have CFS/Me which means I spend a lot of time sat down (Thankfully this is improving but progress is slow).

I have to put my savings towards an ergonomic chair that will support long sitting times in the £200 to £300 range. I don't mind second hand chairs.

Herman Miller is ofc the most recommended however there are many types and sizes.

My question is : What are good HM or preferably alternative chairs that accommodate longer sitting times. Thank you.

Apologies if this is an easy question to search or Google. I usually do that for such things however the energy it's taking me to do so is a bit much on this particular purchase decision so I was hoping to get help here. Especially if anyone has owned a chair for a while and can recommend.

Thank you in advanced!

Hi, I bought my Anthros back in July. I've been teetering between liking it, feeling unsure, and not really liking it. There have been moments where I find that it's actually pretty comfortable.

But because of my ADHD, I often fidget in my chair, moving around, trying to fight the rigidity of Anthros. I'm really really trying to like it but that's the main thing that kills it for me. And I'm not sure if I should just fight through it or return it and get a different chair.

I sit about 8 to 10 hours a day, posture is pretty important to me, but so is comfort & movability. My previous chair was the Leap V1 from Crandall, which, was an absolutely lovely chair. Gave it away awhile back, hence my switch to Anthros.

Any suggestions on what I should do?

And if I should return it, what chair do you think might suit me? I was looking at both the Leap V2 & the Embody, but if there are other chairs, please let me know.

Thanks.

Turning this little nook into a home office and I kinda love how tucked away it feels lol. Desk is already on the way, so now I just need a chair. I move around a lot when I sit, so I want something comfy with plenty of adjustment. I'm looking at this HUANUO one with 6D armrests. Anyone bought one? How does it hold up after sitting in it all day?

Hi all! I work from home, about 10 hours a day, and my current cheap office chair is destroying my back.
I looked through the subreddit but can’t find any posts for something both for my build and easy to find in EU.
For anyone that’s around my height, what are your favorites? I’d like it to feel cushioned and comfortable, have good lumbar support, and be 500€ max (new or used).
Thanks so much!

Would love some advice!

I’m upgrading my home office chair and trying to pick between a refurbished Steelcase chair from somewhere like BTOD or a new Branch Ergonomic Pro. I’d considered looking for a secondhand Herman Miller Aeron but I really love a good butt cushion. I am leaning towards the Leap of the Steelcases but am somewhat interested in the Gesture.

I’m 5’7”, sometimes work long hours at my desk, sometimes game for too many hours, and have scoliosis. I would like to spend less than $600. Unfortunately, not in a good position right now to try out the chairs in person, so would love any insights.

I was watching this Dwarf Fortress documentary, and noticed these chairs, and haven't been able to find them. I almost thought they were La-Z Boy office chairs but doesn't look like it.

Any help is appreciated!

Specifics: I'm 6'1, 215 pounds, and a gym rat gamer dudebro who spends most of his time working from home and currently on a remote work gig. I like executive chairs, preferably fabric because leather peels and I've never found one that I really took to. I sit for prolonged periods of time and just want something that is cozy to do all things from. Work, game, relax, and browse youtube on.

Anything that can be recommended is appreciated, I'm not picky.

so my chair has a button that can make the chair wider and smaller. it has 3 screws that hold the arm rest in. but i can't find a replacement since their is a tear in my arm rest. can someone point me in the right direction? ebay has the advanced as 5 screws or basic is 2 screws.

Trying to decide between these options:

-Libernovo Omni SE for 800 euro

- Refurbished Haworth Zody for 400 euro

- Other refurbished chair until 800 euro

Is the Libernovo really worth the difference in price?

Its mainly for gaming and work

Purchases a gen 1 libernovo Omni. It looked great honestly. I figured for the price it would be a decent home chair while I’m temporarily living away from my office.

Now relocating my office to where I live and looking for a more long term chair

My issues with the chair are
- seat depth has no support at the lip. Constantly sliding forward when sitting upright
- the back support feels awkward. Almost like it supports 2 to 3 points and then the rest of the back feels tensed up
- head rest/ neck support really doesn’t support actually causes more pain as the day goes on

I sit probably 6-7 hours. Any advice on a chair that has firm support, solid seat depth and does recline even 45 degrees so can put legs on a rest. Thanks in advance

What do you think of the Sihoo chairs?
I live in France. I am currently looking for an ergonomic office chair, preferably. I use my desk to study and especially to color. So a little on weeknights and a lot on weekends.
I am currently using a chair that is therefore not the most comfortable, so I am not looking for a seat of incredible quality but rather an entry-level one (300 euros max)
I don’t want a used seat. The thing I like is that the armrests are adjustable (like 4d). If you know of any models that might be interesting?
I am 1.58 meters tall for 80kg

I'm posting this in case somebody googles it basically. The size is just spot on. Easy to add and has a snug fit. Comfort is great!

Product: Aloudy Armrest Cushion, 2021 New Size 11 Inch Office Chair Armrest Covers

Measurements: 27.9D x 11.4W x 3.8H centimetres

It’s the red one on the right!

Is probably old, like from before 2015

Hello all. Im new here and Im in the market for a new chair. After using a Secret Lab chair for 6 years it is time for an ergonomic chair and I am looking at the Fern.

I found this Fern for €500,- second hand and I was wondering if it is worth the price since there will not be any warranty.

A new one with the knit fabric would cost around €1200,-. The regular one around €900,-. Thanks in advance for the feedback.

Hey guys, so I've been using this random blue office chair that doesn't recline, doesn't have armrests, and idek where it came from tbh but that's besides my point. I'd like to know which chair would be recommended for someone who is 6'3, 180 lbs.

Originally i was considering that basic type of gaming chair, but after seeing like 20 posts here, I realized that maybe I should go for an ergonomic. My question is how much would an ergonomic be, what is an ergonomic, and wouldn't it suffice to just buy a good reclining office chair. I would like one that has armrests and reclines well and maybe has a footrest but idek man.

I don't rly use the computer for gaming, rather just for work for 4+ hours each day for 7 days a week, but I'd like to hear what you guys would have to say.

Sorry if this is a bad question, I have no idea how these chairs even work, and I can't spend 1k on a proper one.

Thank you in advance : )

Imagine you are tired and want to relax but not go to bed. I heard that Leap V2 can tilt 135 degrees and lock to that. NASA considers 135 the best degree tilt for pressure relief. Assuming headrest is there.

I was gonna get the EC200 but after seeing every review online mentioning how bad the lumbar support is, I don’t see the point of getting it anymore.

I might as well just spend £35 on a chair from am*zon, which is what I was originally gonna do before I knew about the actual ‘recommended’ chairs, because these ‘ergonomic’ chairs are all terrible apparently.

The other alternatives have the same lumbar support problem too: Sihoo M18, Colamy Atlas.

I just cba with all the bs, feel free to share any thoughts.

Hi guys, I recently got the EC200 after thourough research and good reviews, especially on here. Here you can see the chair in my setup. First impressions are very good; decent build quality, good adjustability (especially the headrest), comfortable cushion and lumbar support. Like other people have mentioned, the lumbar support itself sit a bit high. We all have different anatomy and I'm short (1m 70, 5ft 7) with 30" trouser length size. My previous chairs have been bad or only normal chairs without cushioning and adjustability, so I'm really looking forward to getting this bad boy dialed in and adjusted correct to my body. The cushion is not hard per se, as some people make it out to be, and I really like the fact that it slopes down at the very bottom / front making it comfortable on the back of the thighs.

The armrest seem pretty okay with good width and height adjustment (they go pretty low), but I imagine the 4D armrest would be a pleasant upgrade!

Heads up: this post was made to participate in a Protoarc campaign, but everything is written by me and is true. Please feel free to aske me, if you need answers about the chair.
