Chairs are /g/ Whats the most comfortable chair to game/program

>>61436290
Aeron is nice in unconditioned room, embody better in conditioned.

>>61436346
Aerons are about $1500 where I live with almost no second-hand market.

Kind of leaning towards a vertagear 350SE just because it's $500 cheaper.

>>61436591
~1500 is a worldwide price, afaik. Worked 3 months for it.

I'll be the first of the dozen or so people who are going to say the Ikea Markus

>>61436828
Was it worth it?
Additional, had you tried other high-end chairs? It seems like the Aeron is almost a meme at this point so I'm unsure if it's $1500 worth it, or if it's $500 worth it but +$1000 for the name/brand.

>>61436290
No chair is comfortable for 12 hours a day in the long-term. If you sit for 1/2 your life eventually you'll get degenerative disk disease and then you'll struggle to sit for an hour.

Enjoy your youths while they last, kids.

>>61436880
Not him but I wouldn't pay more than 700 for it. It's comfortable but not 1500 comfortable. Use them at the office and theyre a little creaky, so expect to use it for years but it won't stay like new over a decade. Still solid though, makes Staples' stuff look like garbage even comparing an old Aeron to a new staples chair

>>61436909
I sit for 90% of the day and lift for 10% so hopefully I can keep my back muscular enough to support my deteriorating spine. I'm not exactly "young" in 4chan age either, about to turn 26.

>>61437050
Is there anything that that stays like new for over a decade? I feel like if creaks are all that's happening after so much usage it's pretty well built. I'm just struggling to justify that $1500 price point.

>>61436880
It is.
Nah, i upgraded straight from ikea ivar. And i got it precisely because it's a meme.

define comfortable??

most medical professionals agree that FIRM or HARD surfaces are better for long periods of sitting

the steelcase leap v2 is a cheap and good FIRM cushion chair

the aeron that people are suggesting is not firm enough and the mesh has uneven support

>>61437290
I've heard a lot of love for the steelcase leap and it is much cheaper than the Aeron. I think this is the problem with chairs. They seem arbitrarily priced to match their aesthetic and not their actual function of comfort/support.

>>61436290
I got an embody chair today and it's the comfiest chair I have ever sat in and I've went through them all, ikea chairs, gaming racer chairs, aerons in various sizes etc. The seat on this chair is incredible it's like a butt hammock

>>61437475
Congrats dude, that chair seems like end-game. It's $2500 here in Australia which is far too out of my price range to even consider unfortunately.

Yeah, my day was 80% sitting 10% walking 10% lifting (and a bit of running) but it still all went south from age 30.

There's probably genetics involved too but given that almost all of my coworkers started having issues at some point it's probably pretty ubiquitous.

>>61436290

I was thinking about getting one of these to replace my Markus (for £350 refurbished, with lumbar support). My current setup means I also sit in the same chair to watch TV and play PS4, but you can also recline in the Markus, and I don't think Aerons are good for that.

>>61440798
>but you can also recline in the Markus, and I don't think Aerons are good for that.

and you would be entirely right, and this is why aerons are usually terrible for home setups. the recline tilts the ENTIRE chair, which makes it impossible to sit reclined or lean back on the chair and trying to work. it tilts your entire body and lifts your legs up. it's also rough on the skin if you're sitting on it with some thin clothes.

i guarantee you most people who bought the aeron for "working from home" aren't particularly happy with it, not $800+ happy at least.

Not even the most expensive herman miller or steelcase chairs let you adjust the arm rests enough to sit like that stupid image wants you to.

I'd agree that DXRacer and "gaming" chairs in general are one of those cancer tech memes. But this DXRacer King i sit in is just so god damn comfy. Very firm materials and a lot of adjustability in the back and the armrests.

Only downside is the faux leather doesn't breathe so my fat ass gets sweaty in the summer.

>>61442546
But you are supposed to fidget and move around. I don't believe you regardless, even HM says sitting completely upright is bad for various reason.

>all these high-end chairs and not a single one has arm rests that fold back or out of the way like any actual ergonomic seat should have
Office chairs a huge meme. No one actually sits upright all day even if you're supposed to. Everyone likes to out their legs up and sit crossed legged or just hug the desk but instead of accommodating comfort these companies come up with fantasy scenarios that only show up in demonstrations of their products

>>61442601

The best computer chair is a hybrid

Buy a cheap computer used off craigslist. Something with all the adjustments you want.
Then throw out the seat, and keep the base.
Then go to an automotive junkyard/pick n pull. Get a bucket seat you find comfy from a car there. Bonus points for a Recaro seat from a sports car or sport compact.
Make a custom bracket to bolt the car seat to the chair base, with arm rests you like.
voila!

No shit, your spine naturally curves. The pic even mentions that. Maybe if you weren't fidgeting like a 12 year old and looked at it longer than 10 seconds you wouldn't look like such a retard mistaking where it says 90 degrees for a literal 90 degree upright posture.

The free ones I find in my OfficeMax/Depot dumpsters.

We toss out the on-floor display models even if nothing is wrong with them. We are told also toss out any chair that has it's box slightly dented or any chair that's been returned by a customer, even if the box has never been opened.
Spend a week stalking any OM/D dumpster and you can obtain that $600+ chair for free.

Your only challenge is finding a store that doesn't cut or spray-paint the chairs. It's normally the stores in the nig-nog areas that damage the chair before tossing them out.

I hope this helped some of you fags that are working with a limited budget.

steelcase leap v2 master race

went to a used office furniture FUCKHUEG warehouse, tried dozens of different chairs (including several HM which were restricting and uncomfortable), and the leap v2 was my favorite. it's so goddamn adjustable. $250 and probably sat in an office barely used.

Got the same at a warehouse for $180. Got a couple replacement parts for $20. Stains cleaned out no trouble. It still comes off looking like a shitty office chair with the bulbous arm rests, and I really wish it had a headrest. The drafting stool version in leather they also had was baller as fuck but wouldn't fit under my desk.

>>61444698
>wouldn't fit under my desk.
why wouldn't it? they go very low?

>>61444698
I've been waiting forever for a headrest version to pop up. They're like unicorns. The few times I've seen them people ask $600+

See tons of Humanscale Freedoms with headrests though. I bought a lot of 4 of them with issues for $150. Took parts from one and had 3 fully working ones after a couple hours and some spare parts. Has been my best find so far.

The Herman Miller dealers in europe are crazy with the prices. I wanted to get an Aeron but that shit is like 1600 euros, so I did some research and found out about the Mirra 2. Ordered one for about 730 and I'm waiting for it to arrive.

Does anybody have any experience with it? It looks good and it is super adjustable (even more than the aeron) but I still have this nagging feeling that I shouldn't have cheapened out and should have gone for the aeron. I'm scared of sitting on it and finding out it's terrible because returning that thing is going to be a nightmare

>>61445062
Idk about the Mirra 2 but the Aeron is vastly overrated. You're paying for the warranty and durability. I use one at work and I can't stand it for 8 hours. I wish they had standing desks or something but it's an old 90s style cube farm

>>61445062
if you're in eu there is a german dealer that sells for very cheap and they can ship to you for free

>>61448572

lots of advice saying that if you're gonna spend more than 500$ on a chair, try to sit on it and test it out first to make sure you really like it.

I live in a small town so that's out of the way but honestly, if i come across one that is cheap enough, I might just snag it up and hope i like it.

otherwise i'll have to test it out at a showroom when i head to the big inner city.

>>61448666
yeah absolutely don't blow this amount of money and then end up not liking the chair at all, you might find it the worst shit you've ever sat on and now the money is literally wasted, i got it directly from a hm dealer so they let me return it within two months if i don't like it

>>61437055

Grandpa here. I'm 36 and you two complaining about back problems is neither normal nor okay. Try not spending 80%/90% of your day sitting.

Even if you lift, sitting for that amount of time is not a good idea. I currently can deadlift 405 lbs for a set of five, unbelted, and even my back would get fucked up with that amount of sitting, day in and day out.

>>61442466
Except literally they do. The Embody, Aeron, Steelcase's Leap, and Steelcase's Gesture can all do that. I work in an extremely large architecture firm and our interior design studio has all these chairs and many more. For the most part, high end chairs can raise the arm rest so high that you'd have to shrug to rest your arms on them, unless you have some truly weird proportions. Many of them can also move the arm rests side to side and forward and back.

>>61448784
i removed the arms on my embody because no matter how I put them they would just constantly bang into the desk and not let me sit at a good height. it is much more comfortable to just roll in further instead and let elbows hang or rest on desk instead, just put keyboard and mouse further away on the desk

>>61445062
Grandpa from the architecture firm here. Mirra is a more modern design. >>61445148 is right. Aeron tends to be overrated.

They did recently do an anniversary redesign of the Aeron, which did improve things a bit but the overall feel (and especially the look) is basically the same. In fact, at least one of the improvements from the new Aeron come from the Mirra, lol (the tilt spring).

Next time you guys are in the market for a designer chair though, see if you can make friends with someone in an architecture or interior design firm. They tend to have big discounts. For instance last Christmas I got my bro the new Aeron with every add-on possible for $350 (except color), brand new straight from Herman Miller. Retail US it would've been like $1250 or some shit.

>>61448844
That's true, that would be a problem.

SOme people in my office have installed a slide-out keyboard tray on their desks (our facilities dude will install it for anyone who asks) so that you're not trying to ram your chair up to the desk.

Some people have gone the extra mile and have adjustable height desks + these keyboard/mouse trays (the trays also have four degrees of freedom; forward/back, side to side, tilt, height). It gets kind of retarded how much these setups cost. Most people would be surprised at how much a basic cubicle costs, let alone a workstation with all the ergonomic bells and whistles.

Instead of buying $1000 chairs you should buy a standing desk first and extend the life of your shitty chair by 50%

What could break on it? Take the Aeron, for example. I can buy them for &$200-300 used all day long. Let's say, worst case scenario, everything big breaks on it. I can replace the cylinder for $100, the seat for $150, and the backrest for $100. That replaces 99% of whatever could break on it and I've still only got $650 in it.

I can replace the cylinder for $100, the seat for $150, and the backrest for $100. That replaces 99% of whatever could break on it and I've still only got $650 in it.

Arms, the back, etc.

Nylon's tough but it's still just plastic

The backrest is included in my estimate. My point is that if you buy a used Aeron for $300, there's no scenario where you'd regret not buying a new one with a warranty. Even if you replaced every part individually, you'd still come out ahead.

Why don't you just build a new one with those parts for $350?

That doesn't include little things like cables and levers. I'd imagine I could still buy all the necessary parts on eBay to assemble a wholly new Aeron out of parts for less than $1100.

new recaro seats are like $2000 - $3000
for how much you can get them from junkyard? I think they will not be cheap at all desu
