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!

    Have you ever tried the leap v2? I am currently using a leap v2 that I got from the office and I find it semi uncomfortable after awhile when gaming, but it doesn’t bother me too much when I working

    Last year I also bought, and returned, a Herman Miller X Logitech Embody because it was too uncomfortable.

    The gesture looks nice, but after reading reviews people claim it’s basically the same comfort level as a leap v2

      I like my Leap v2 more than the Embody but it really just depends on every individual. If there’s anywhere you can try these chairs (like an office supply or an office refurbishment store) then I’d strongly recommend doing so.
