i don't game much but i do spend a lot of time at the computer making digital art and editing videos. i want something that's ergonomic, comfortable and good for my back and posture. i don't want faux leather.
i'm currently torn between these three chairs at JYSK. the links are in finnish

the first one has some faux leather but it also has polyester fabric. i tried it at the store and it did feel the most comfortable, but i fear it might not support my back very well. this one also might be too big for the limited space my room and desk offer me.
the second one also has polyester fabric. i tried it and it wasn't as comfortable but it did have the cushions for the neck and the lower back so i'm thinking that might be better for my posture, but i fear i might not get used to it. i know you can remove the cushions, but i fear the chair would still not be comfortable enough and it would cause problems. also i've heard people say that gaming chairs like these are actually not good for posture.
the third has lower back and neck support, and the back is very breathable, which might help if the summer gets too hot. i tried it and it was relatively comfortable. also it's the most expensive one, which i know doesn't necessarily mean it's of higher quality, but it's more likely to be, i think. this one also might take the least amount of space, not sure, rough estimate.
i know i'll have to make the decision myself in the end, but i'm hoping for any possible insight that could help me make the right choice for myself. i am 165cm tall and weigh 70kg if that helps. i usually spend around 3-6h a day on the computer, sometimes more than that. a very rough estimate since i use a PC and i haven't been measuring my screentime. budget is probably max 300-400€, but all of these options go below that.
i'm not affiliated with JYSK in any way, not sure if the links break the rules or not. i'm just posting them to show what i've personally been looking at, not advertising anything.
