These chairs are such bullshit. Anyone that has one is a toddler indeed.

Noooooo, Car seats are actually comfortable.
Gamer chairs suck, do yourself a favor and just get a proper office chair. I have a Steelcase Leap V2 at home with extra big caster wheels and it's great.
ikea pre owned section👍
I love my SW ret Lab Omega 2020, but I have it at my adjustable standing desk, so if I start to get uncomfortable I just switch modes. I don't think any chair can be totally comfortable for a full work day.
I mean the similarity is not a coincidence. Gaming chairs are modeled after racing seats which are five point harnesses designed to keep the occupant safe in a car crash... exactly like toddler car seats.
I can see a use for actual racing seats in racing games to enhance the immersion. The faux racing gaming chairs took off because some chair company sponsored streamers. Streamers like them because they're something to look at on stream rather than a bland office chair. For everyone else a bland office chair is way better.
I had that chair. It's fucking terrible. My back has never been so sore
Are you a toddler?
"asking for my son"
honestly I have a secret lab titan and i'm really happy with it, even if it is a car seat
I have a Secret Labs chair at home and at work. I am so very picky with chairs too. I have the Titan at home and the Omega at work. The Omega is just a bit too small, but I really like them both. Better than the $500 crap mesh back office chairs they got for everyone.
Yeah even though I'm short af I got the Titan XL, no regrets at all, super comfy, it's a little big but honestly that makes it more comfy imo
Any suggestions on decent chairs? I'm in the market for two chairs for my wife and son doing grad school and college from home.
Everyone says they get aerons or steelcase leaps cheap but in central Texas the best I've seen are 400-600 and at least an hour drive each way. That's still kind of steep for me (especially given the two household members in university right now)
A few of my friends got the Autonomous ErgoChair and really like it. It's not at high quality as a Steelcase or Herman Miller, but it's a lot more affordable. I'd rather it than one of these gaming chairs.
Sihoo Doro C300 - as long as you're shorter than 178 cm you shouldn't regret it. $300 USD on their US website. The lumbar support is amazing.
I like my Herman Miller chair, my kids do not like there car seats.
How can you afford a herman Miller but don’t know the difference between there and their?
You're definitely an ex redditor 😉
Interesting fact, gaming chairs often have less ergonomic support and less adjustability than office chairs, making them inferior for sitting relative to office chairs.
I own a gaming chair. I agree. But the 600$ I spent was less than the 2k on a herman Miller so fuggit
Check out Sihoo next time, I just bought one and it's alright. Not as good as a Herman Miller or Steelcase though.
