Hey there,

I returned to playing computer after years of playstation. When I stopped playing, I was much younger than I am now.

Age: 33
Weight: 124kg
Height: 176cm

So I have that cheap office chair but on long sessions I can feel some stress in my back. Don’t have that in the office at work - but those chairs are probably much better.

So right now I’m struggling to find a decent chair that actually is good for my back and not just a chair that can bend back if you know what I mean.

So as I already struggled finding the right keyboard and mouse, I am struggling with finding the right chair. I don’t want to pay a fortune but also know that a good chair will not come off cheap.

A friend suggested Secretlab and also spoke about Back force one or something like that.

What should I pay attention to, next to weight and stuff, and what can you actually recommend?

Lots of thanks in advance!

    A gaming chair will be bad quality and uncomfortable for MOST people.

    Your best bet will be a high-end adjustable office chair, such as Herman Miller. These chairs are very expensive, but consider how much you’re sitting (easily 8h+ a day if you work from home and are a gamer) and the amazing warranty (12 years+). I stopped trying to save money on chairs and mattresses and all my little pains went away.

    However, to make the most of it you have to try them to find the best one for your body. A good store will help you find the best chair for you and adjust it to fit you perfectly.
