Topic: Gaming Chairs

I’m looking to get a nice gaming chair as I’ll be moving into a new house shortly. I had always thought I’d just go with a Secret-Labs chair as they’re kinda the ‘Coca-cola’ of gaming-chairs but I have heard some negatives about their quality.

Does anyone have any other suggestions?

@lolwhatno umm, i… promise?

@colonelkilgore I was toying with the idea of getting one after I've moved, depending on how space I've got. I do struggle sometimes to see what is the point in having one though, apart from it being 'cool' or something.

@JohnnyShoulder well i suppose the point is to sit in it 😉.

@JechtUltima I have a ‘decent’ chair in the office which work are willing to deliver to my house but I’ve had it for about 5 years now and in all honesty it gives me a real sore a$$. Was hoping that someone may have some experience in this area and therefore had already separated the wheat from the chaff.

@colonelkilgore Is that what they are for? I was gonna hang it from the ceiling.

@colonelkilgore I found this: https://www.pushsquare.com/forums/ps4/gaming_chair_recommenda...
Not much to go on though.
I have heard the same of what others have said and that you are better off getting a decent office chair than a dedicated gaming one.

@JohnnyShoulder cheers, i’ve done a bit of research since posting the thread and there seems to be a decent business in refurbished orthopaedic chairs. Ones that if brand new would be priced in the thousands but as they have been refurb’d are under £500.

@colonelkilgore What about this one?

@JohnnyShoulder does it come in blue? 🤔

@colonelkilgore Only red to go with your eyes!

@JohnnyShoulder Johnny, the fact that you are imagining my red-eye of a Saturday night causes great discomfort 🤢🤮

I see a lot of people use GTRacing gaming chairs. I even know a guy who uses one , and hes not even a gamer , so i guess thats saying something for how good they probably are . i don't know the price of them though . They also come in different colors .

@nomither6 cheers, I’ll check them out. If they are like the seats you’d find in a race-car though I wouldn’t imagine that they are great for your back.

I’m predominantly looking for comfort during long sessions (10-12 hours) but also back and neck support… as I ain’t getting any younger 😉.

@velio84 funnily enough Herman Miller (& Steelcase was the other) are the two brands which keep coming up. It looks like those chairs are around £2000-£3000 brand new but that you can get a refurbished one for around £500.

Appreciate the input, cheers bud.

@colonelkilgore the streamers i watch sit in them for hours just as long , i believe they're good chairs. id like to sit in one , haha.

@nomither6 I’ll definitely have a look at them buddy 👍.

@colonelkilgore Was about to post the same, have a look a what some podcasters use. Sometimes they put it in the description on YouTube.

@velio84 the Aeron and the Embody. Currently thinking about the HAG H04 Credo 4200 with headrest though.

People with a premium chair fetish are in their element in this thread. 😂

@JohnnyShoulder don’t worry bud, I got you… I’ll set up a thread dedicated to my red-eye just for your fetish of choice 😜
