How is your gaming chair holding up? How much did it cost?

>>715300224 (OP)
>gaming/racing chair
If you bought one, you failed the IQ test.
>b-but mine is-
No exceptions.

I NEED A CHAIR BROS

I have the ikea jarvfjallet. build quality is really solid, but i think you can probably do better ergonomically at that price point.
the only sign of wear is a stain from my swamp ass.

my gaming chair still has a brown mark on it from that day even tho its been years. i just cover it with a blanket when i have guests. i got the chair as a birthday gift and am reluctant to replace it. what do i do?

>>715300765

>>715300765

>>715300306
Eh. I got one some time ago and it served me well until it broke. It pretty much fixed my back and it was overall much better than the office chairs in the same price range.

Just bought this this month for $400. It's comfy.

You need to go back and stay there.

>>715301269
as i said, it was years ago. im now a proper anon and a humble resident of /v

>>715300224 (OP)
The one I currently have for over 8 years now, think it was either $200 or $300, would love to replace it with something that has good back support and whatnot but my faggy cats will shred any chair just like how they fucked the one I have right now.

>>715300224 (OP)
I got some ~$300 office thing about a year or two ago and it's holding up alright with the exception of one big tear along a seam in the middle of the seat where a poorly designed flat spring jabbed a hole through the fabric which promptly spread to said seam. It's the dumbest fucking design and placement for a spring possible but I couldn't feel it in there until it worked its way through the padding by which point it was too late. Now I need to be careful every time I sit down on it lest the exposed end of the spring stab me in the ass cheek, it's sharp enough it could probably go clean through my pants and draw blood.

>>715301431
>i-it was three years ago!
You need to go back, redditor.

>>715300224 (OP)
Where is a good place to get a chair? Amazon has chairs but they all look like shit quality or are carbon copies of each other.

>>715300765
why do anything? sounds like you've got the situation under control

I should go to a chair store to sit in some, I don't wanna spend 2000 bucks on a chair on a whim

>>715301610
actually it was in July of 2020 IIRC. 2020 was such a poggers year highkey. its so long ago noe that i have a hard time recalling it. i do remember first finding out about the g floyd thing when i saw a video of the event on pol. also only newfags are as insecure as you about seniority so shut your trap before i shut it for you

>>715300224 (OP)
free from the dump. identical to that pic but with most of the fabric intact

>>715301962
You can get a decent chair for 400 bucks you fucking faggot.

>>715301991
Go back.

>>715300497
just buy the most expensive one if you believe a chair is worth more than $20 at all

>>715301923
well i just feel kinda awkward about it. the mark is very brown and noticable and i can also still faintly smell something funky from it. i try rubbing the spot with a wet towel from time to time, but to no avail.

>gaming chair owners in this thread
>not a whisper
But as soon as someone mentions ergonomic chairs, especially herman miller, watch the seethe begin.

>spent about 1k on a chair because of being a fat fuck
>lean back
>tilt lock breaks
Fantastic

I just got some cheap shit from Staples a few years back. I need a new one but I cannot justify spending more than like $400 on a chair, and even that is pushing it. Anything you guys recommend?

>>715302026
>only getting a "decent" product that you spend 50% of your life sitting on

Get a Gesture refurbished. This is currently the apex of chair that is still somewhat affordable.
The Herman Miller Aeron (remastered new version) or Herman Miller Embody are arguably better, but you simply cannot get those chairs at an affordable price. They haven't been around long enough for refurbishers to have a supply from offices to sell, and in the case of the Embody it's probably too high concept and expensive for offices to ever adopt.
Or get a Leap 2 (also refurbished) if you're still looking for something cheaper, but nothing below that. Aeron Classic (again, refurbished) if you want a mesh chair.
All of the chairs that are on the floor at a place like Target are dogshit, they almost certainly won't have a Steelcase or Herman Miller stocked. They can feel comfortable in the few minutes you try them at the store. They will NOT last a long time especially at the original level of comfort, and especially if you're overweight like gamers tend to be.
Gamer chairs are a scam. "Secret Lab" is a turbo scam, racing chairs are not ergonomic for desktop use. Their only benefit is really deep recline, which is really a gimmick.
One callout is that most refurbished ergonomic chairs like I've listed don't come with a headrest. Most of the chairs I listed you can find a good third party add on. For the Gesture you'll need to do some macguyvering with zip ties and something like an H4 headrest, but it does work.

>>715300224 (OP)
I have a deck chair with a pillow and a fancy ass pillow on it

>>715300224 (OP)
i have a shit stain on mine but i genuinely have no clue how that happened, im disgusting but not that disgusting
cant clean it, maybe its from farts

prrrrrrrffffbbttt

>>715302274
Dipshit

>>715302323
I don't understand how pillow on chair works
Whenever I learn back and put my legs up on my desk, that would make the pillow slide off

>>715301962
There are plenty of cheap office chairs bro. Those overpriced chairs you see online are for CEOs with small dicks

>>715302289
Is having a head rest a must?

>>715302407
I don't lean back and put my legs on my desk. also the material of the chair and pillow are pretty good friction so they don't slide

>>715302474
Be that as it may, I don't wanna buy a cheap office chair and have it turn out to be uncomfortable either

>>715300224 (OP)
i went through about 5 of those staples monstrosities

>>715302026
that's still high, I bought a nice leather and wood office chair for $400

>>715302489
No, especially if you don't tend to recline deeply. But if you do like reclining for long periods then it's probably a must, as otherwise your neck will have to hold up your head at an angle which is taxing and uncomfortable.

>>715302482
Don't buy chinkshit

>>715302638
leaning back is only natural. how else would you rest your lower back when gaming all day? you seem to be self reporting yourself as a casual

Im actually in the market for a new chair. Any recommendations?

>>715300224 (OP)
650 american buckaroos in 2015, it is a little faded but otherwise just as good as the day I bought it

>>715302782
I mean I lean back but I don't put my feet up on the desk. I might twist a little and put them on a trunk but that's not nearly as high
>casual because he doesn't sit the way I do
lmao

>>715302812
Don’t buy a chair with mesh fabric on the seat, get one with padding. Otherwise your ass will be in pain.

Mine's still good, had it for 6 years now
Got it for free when my company bought too many office chairs
I asked the guys in the warehouse
>can I have that?
And they said yeah

>>715303287
why are you getting flustered and backpedaling?

>>715303551
how is it backpedalling? I said I never leaned back to put my feet on my desk because you brought it up.
I think you're just being retarded

Please help me, I am in need of a new chair. My back pain is driving me up a fucking wall, I just want to sit comfortably and enjoy my video games. My problem is I've gone for the high end chairs that everyone recommends already, i.e. the aeron and embody. I find them both to be very uncomfortable. I've also tried the gaming chairs every streamer has and found the seat to be painfully underpadded. I'm not disfigured, I'm just fat at 270 pounds. What do I do?

Look at refurbish sites. Google "systems office furniture", they have a 99.5% eBay rating. You can look up a video of them doing their cleaning and testing process on YouTube.
Some bigger names are Crandall, BTOD, and Madison. The r*ddit r/OfficeChairs is openly run by guys from Crandall and BTOD so be aware that those two companies have sizable astroturf shilling operations, although nonetheless people seem to have mainly good experiences with them. The one I recommended above is a Texas company with lower prices, they don't seem to try to add their own branded fabric or anything like Crandall does, they just replace anything worn with new OEM parts.
Madison has a lot of volume but quality control seems worse.
Right now you could get a Leap V2 for $375 on SOF or a Think V2 for $310, both Steelcase good chairs. A Leap v2 is $650 on Crandall or $575 on BTOD in comparison. Madison has it for about $350 but that is "open box" not refurbished, so there's not a guarantee that a defective part was replaced.
Crandall BTOD and SFO all have a 10-12 year warranty and will pay for shipping the chair back to them if there's a problem with it.
Crandall and BTOD will take the chair back for full refund within 30 days if you don't like it, SFO and Madison don't do that so keep that in mind.

you usually get what you pay for with computer chairs, avoid anything gamer branded key words to keep in mind:

Executive Chair: Fully back with arms, intended for 8 hours or more of continuous use

Manager Chair: Half back with arms intended for up to 4 hours at a time.

Student Chair: half back no arms intended for 2 hours or less.

avoid any fake leather shit, that will peel and look like crap, fabric will hold up the best but tends to be less stylish, mess is good to avoid swamp ass but i would be worried about durability.

i bought myself an executive chair a few years ago, like 400 bucks
it feels good, fits right, perfect height for my long ass legs. only problem is the cushion is starting to wear off. I stole my cats bed, since she never used it, and im currently sitting on that. even then my ass still gets sore. I might have to cut it open, remove the worn-down cushion, and replace it with a pillow or something

Hah.
I've been sitting in this old shit for ages. Thing is totally flattened out and the left arm broke off, its also creaky and noisy, but its comfortable for me.

$300 in December 2022 and nearly looks brand new, still. It's the first big and tall chair I've had that is too tall for me at max height. It had a squeak in the rocker mechanism last week that was fixed with a big blob of silicone grease, very smooth now.

How come you people never think about putting a towel on your chair? I get a beach towel and keep it on my chair at all times, wash the towel everytime I wash other towels and change it depending on what I want to sit on.

get the mesh back chairs, the mesh doesn't fail like a cushion does and become compacted and hard, it feels exactly the same as it did day 1 10 years later, if you can afford it get the ones with the mesh seat

i bought a refurbished leap v2 for $500 and it's holding up just fine
had to replace the armpads but that's whatever

>>715318392
You must redeem the meme chair. Your life literally depends on it

For free from relatives. Looks like something made in the 1950s-1970s because the frame is all solid steel and you tighten the backrest with a fist-sized metal cog. How did we go from that to paying 500 bucks for some plastic goyslop that breaks when you lean back on it?

how the fuck do you sit on these without getting massive pains on your shoulders and lower back? I got a XL Titan and I had to cut it open and remove the foam from the sides that are sticking out just to be able to sit in it. I also had to tear open the seat and remove some foam from the front because it was pressing hard against my legs and cutting off circulation. Still sitting on the chair and it looks horrific being kept together by duct tape. These chairs fucking suck.

You don't, those chairs are fucking terrible for you, just toss it the fuck out and buy an executive chair that is actually meant for living beings with shoulders.

>>715324138
I don't really have any issue with it, my shoulders rest around the top wings pretty comfortably and the sides wrap around my body and it feels pretty nice, with the seat there's like a 2inch gap between the front seat and my joints so i never had circulation problems

>>715326789
>chair has a benis

Recliners are the endgame. Peak comfy, peak durability. Office chairs are for work; you shouldn't be sitting in one if you're not chilling.

My OG Aeron (bought for 250 bucks) is now over 20 years old, I've had it for over a decade, and it's holding up fine. Get one with leather arm rests if possible, all the alternatives and third party replacements fall apart, leather seems to last.

I think I might have to replace the seat mesh in about 5 years because it is starting to tear slightly at one edge, but that's not a big issue.

>>715313115
if the chair is labeled "gaming" it's garbage
if it's labeled something like "control room" then it's really good

>>715300224 (OP)
I used the same chair for 15+ years, nice cushioned thing on the seat and back. only minor stitching wear on the seat, until I found someone throwing out one of these. only thing wrong with it is the right armrest padding is gone but I niggerrigged something to replace it already. it's legit

>>715328601
might want to turn your case as well, aiming your fans at your head in the recliner seems like a bad idea

>>715328795
well im not him i have my montors on arms already so was thinkihng a kayboard tray on on arm pull them forward and sit down in a relicner instead of these terrible office chairs that feel terible

Pillow as back rest, pillow under a folded towel with a pair of shorts over that becasue the cushion on this pos is basically flattened after years. Squeaks when I lean in, and grease stains on the wall from my toes resting on it barefoot. Town on the glass top as an arm rest, and bunched up blanket under the desk as a foot rest. Tupperware lid under wheel as the chink floor protector is cracking apart. Yep, it's gaming time.

I have 2 steelcase leaps, a gen 1 and gen 2, I bought the gen 2 because the arm rest on the gen 1 is fucked. It lasted me 15 years and I reupholstered it myself once (copper velvet, very sexy)
Total cost about $1000 for both with reuphostering, they're refurbished, a new one costs like $1500 on it's own.

You have one of the most boring copypaste chairs in the world. Everyone basically copied that same design and there's knockoffs of that shit everywhere.

If you gonna spend that much on a chair, just get herman miller chair.

>>715324138
Kek I just bought a chair like that picture and I have the same issues. Who the fuck decided to put wings on the sides of the chair that round your shoulders forward? Same issue with the legs unless I lean back and prop my legs up on a little cushion table under my desk.

Every other chair I tried that was in that price range, didn't have a tall enough back for me to rest my head on. I'm only 6'0! How the fuck is it that NO CHAIR in the $300 price range has a fucking high enough back for my head to rest on?

Hopefully your chair holds up better than most. . .

no thanks

i used pic related (without any additional padding) for years and i swear my posture and overall health was so much better compared to now that i switched to a thick leather chair

>>715314775
why does a chair need to breathe? they dont have lungs, do they?

I'm paranoid about the gas spring cylinder exploding and impaling my asshole / killing me

>>715300224 (OP)
I need a posture training chair where my upper body is strapped to the chair so I don't subconcousls slump over into a bad posture again.

>>715336906
thats the fancy term for the material allowing air to flow through it. with thick leather this is normally not the case, it's gonna store the heat pretty good and before long your balls heat up to temperatures that destroy all sperm inside them. especially if you sit on it daily.

thats why you get something that's "breathable" and doesnt store heat that well.

Thanks for the info. I also agree to avoid Gaming Chairs. Tried one a decade ago and went right back to a normal office chair a few days later. It is uncomfortable to sit in longer than 2 hours.

>>715314775
I bought a chair like this maybe 7 years ago and it's still holding up great. Fat guy chairs are easily the way to go even if you aren't fat because they're built sturdier.

Mine has worked fine for 11 years.

>>715302249
this is what I hate about office chairs, I put all my weight leaning back onto the chair so either i'm breaking the tilt lock or i'm reclining 24/7.

unironically those metal folding chairs with the plastic seats are more comfortable for me which is why i'm fine buying one every year for like 40 bucks.

so what am i to do in this situation besides fix my posture? I have yet to see an office chair that is reinforced enough to stop me from leaning back.

>>715300224 (OP)
>How is your gaming chair holding up?
pretty fucking bad
>How much did it cost?
about ~150 usd
it was fine for 2-3 years but it broke and i put a small wooden brick under the broken part so it's pretty stable now, but it pisses me off and i want to buy something new
what chair would you guys recommend in a reasonable price of let's say 250-300 usd

Mine is half way of becoming you chair. It was dirt cheap during black friday 2018.

>>715326789
The hard rubberised surface of the armrests makes them quite uncomfortable after a while if you've got bony elbows. Also the padding on the seat is insufficient if you have a bony ass.
Unsuitable for skeletons/10.

My chair has outline of my ass and balls imprinted on it forever. I sit on it naked more often than not

Got me a discount La-Z-Boy chair from BJs. Comfy as hell and held up for about 3 years so far with barely any sign of wear and tear except for around the arm rests.

In our communist utopia the bourgois mat-sitters shall be liquidated.

I've got a problem with most chairs, and no money to spend on new ones. Live in Portugal.
The problem is that the back of the chairs invariably bends so much after a few months that it's legit a pain for me after a while, I once removed the covers and whatnot and saw the wooden board was literally broken in two pieces.

>>715342471
how the fuck are you sitting the back is bending?

mesh over fabric ALWAYS

>>715336363
If it's fabric you can use a carpet shampooer on it with the attachments or you can scrub at it with soap, soft bruse and towels to work the stain out. You can also get non bleaching stain remover sprays which can work well (test on hidden fabric area to make sure they don't damage the colours), they work great for all sorts.

I will never buy a gaming chair ever again. They are the most uncomfortable shitty, rigid pieces of shit ever. I'm not talking about this particular chair by the way, this is not the one I own but they all have this exact design.

Fuck these chairs. The literal only good thing they have going for them is that they weigh quite a bit which makes them feel sturdy.

>>715300765

>>715337897
You can just slide the bar in and screw up the spring resistance to make it impossible to lean back as the chair woudl slide around with you trying to push back with your feet anchored to do it.

>>715343856

Why don't chinese companies just rip off the Aeron and these dogshit expensive chairs and sell them for like 200$? The chair industry is a fucking scam, it's literally just plastic and mesh, probably costs them 20$ to assemble together. What a fucking joke.

>>715300224 (OP)
ive switched from leather to textile about 2 years ago and im never going back

>>715348625
this reminds me of my keyboard hobby. literally 4 years ago a full aluminium keyboard with gaskets would cost you upwards of 500$, but ever since the chinese stepped in and started mass manufacturing custom keyboards and prebuilts the prices of everything went down drastically. you can get the same 500$ keyboard quality for 150$ now thanks to over saturation.

the same shit should happen to chairs. it's not like chairs have this extreme marvel of engineering that requires them to be 1000$+ ... if a chinese compant decided to start mass producing chairs with 80% of the quality of herman miller for like 200 or 300$ you bet your ass all these companies are gonna drop their prices drastically too. we'd probably see shit like the embody fall down to 600$.

I used to buy £100 (+/- £30) chairs and found they would fail constantly in one way or another in usually just over a year, so I paid £264 for a "premium" gaming chair with a lifetime guarantee in 2020 (it's £199 in 2025), and they've earned that price point and guarantee boast, because this is the most reliable chair I've ever had, the only issues with it are all aesthetic issues from wearing, but the hydraulic cylinder has stayed strong, the tilt and arms mechanisms all still work, and it's still relatively comfortable; I wish I had bought a mesh one for hot weather or one with more padding on the back, but these are minor complaints (especially the latter, as I've fallen asleep in this chair multiple times)

I recommend Anda if you're looking for a long-lasting chair
Anyone who is recommending some basic office chair (or a regular dining table chair or outdoor chair) is worth ignoring, as it's just some poor ESL faggot trying to pretend his life isn't shit and that the trash he is forced to use is suitable, like this faggot >>715300306

>>715353441
>buying a PU leather gaming chair and calling people poor

lol, lmao even

>>715353628
yes, I consider people buying a £5 plastic garden chair as their computer chair as poor, just as I consider people who spend £5000 on a computer chair rich

Guess what? Wealth perception is relative to how much wealth you have, like how a millionaire thinks £200 spent on a single plate of food in a restaurant might consider that "average" in relation to the "rich" billionaires spending £5k per plate because the food has edible gold in it or something

I bought a used Aeron for $50 off FB Marketplace.

Its from 2006 IIRC and the only issue was the thigh support pad needed to be replaced ($20) and the left armrest unlocks randomly and falls down...not sure how to fix that but w/e.

>>715300224 (OP)
I have this exact chair and it's starting to look like this.

>>715300497
I have had this for several years now. Works well, and is holding up. Ikea only rates it up to 275lbs though, so it might now work for you.

>>715300497
just buy a used martela chair
lilla bög pojka din momma sucker min kuk

I had a junk chair and I kept having backache so I bought this thing that's called the Joobie, and now I no longer have back aches.
I looked at used Herman Miller Aerons and all that, but they were still expensive as shit and only very basic. The used ones had options for add-ons like armrests (which I absolutely need) and a bunch of other shit it was still over double the price of the Joobie. Not paying that much for a used chair.
Also got it in black because I don't wanna see stains on the chair, but this photo was nice.

>>715300224 (OP)
What's the point of a gaming chair if you have the posture of a cooked shrimp?

>>715358680
My mate got one for $5 like 15 years ago back before everyone knew Herman Miller, but nowadays every time I see them they're retardedly expensive and don't come with arm rests or anything.

>>715324138
These are chairs for people who buy and rebuy gamer branded headphones, keyboards, etc. They're expensive so they must be good, but in reality they're junk and there's much better stuff available especially for the same price.

>>715300224 (OP)
like $200 and it's starting to slant to the right, also the arm rests are starting to tear and it creaks from all sides.
