Welp, here's a bunch more stuff. That pretty much exhausts my useful Amazon purchasing history, the rest being media (books, music, movies, TV shows), health 'n' beauty type stuff that wouldn't be applicable to 99% of other folks, or items that are some combination of "not listed anymore" and "shit I wouldn't recommend."

u/TheNewElite250 · 14 pointsr/whatisthisthing

A few essentials that really made my life better:

  • A quality mattress. We spend 1/3rd of our lives on them. I didn't realize how beat up my old mattress was until I got a new one. Currently testing a Leesa memory foam and have been getting multi-layered dreams. A lot of my joint pain is going away too. And if you want to splurge even more, get some Flax Linen Sheets. They're expensive but they are top quality in comfort and will last forever.

  • A quality office chair. We spend another 1/3rd of our life in them. I did a lot of research and managed to find a brand new Steelcase Leap chair off craigslist for $350 and really like it. My back feels a lot better and I don't feel like I got hit by a car after a long day of work. People also swear by Herman Miller chairs as well.

  • A quality Showerhead Don't use your crappy stock showerhead that came with your apartment. Spend a little money and treat yourself to a luxury experience every time you get in the shower. It can really make the shower experiences that more amazing. When I was in college, girls would come over just to use my shower. I suggest getting a rainfall head, or one with rainfall + a handheld attachment.

  • Water Filtration People laugh at me when I say I have a filter for my shower, until they see how much nicer it is on their skin and hair. Having a big, whole-house water filtration system means you'll never have to buy bottled water. I live in an apartment though, so I just have a filter for the sink and for the shower.

    ----------------------

    A few toys that made my life more interesting:

  • Custom Car Stereo System: So many people ride around blasting their shitty stock speakers and never really experience the music the way it was meant to be. If you are a true lover of music and spend time in your car, having a good stereo system will change your life and the way you listen to music completely. Even just changing the speakers can make a world of difference, but when you have full setup, you won't be able to go back.

  • A quality pair of Jeans . There's a special unique experience to be had with raw denim, as it shapes & fades to your body and the way you walk. But for some people it's too much work to take care of. You can also pick up pre-washed jeans that are still of really high quality. You can definitely see and feel the difference in a good pair of jeans, and they last a lot longer too.

  • Update Your Fashion Staples and get stuff Tailored meaning your basics like black/white T-shirts, belts, black coats, sweaters, underwear, socks, jeans, and work shirts. You basically just want to update the quality of those items. So, instead of a shitty pair of Hanes underwear that gets holes and tears in them, maybe get some nicer wool briefs that last longer, or some Under Armor underwear. Update your old GAP hoody and get something with nicer fabric and a better unique fit. Instead of that boxy dress shirt you got from Express, go and buy some high-quality oxfords and get it tailored to fit you perfectly. Have you been carrying around your dirty kids-colored jansport from high school? Maybe it's time to upgrade to something more stylish.


    And to completely ignore your question:

  • A spa day We all need one more than we think we do. If you're stressed out, retail therapy only goes so far. Go get yourself a massage AT LEAST 90-minutes long. Soak in the healing waters of a hottub. Get a facial and clean your skin out. Get your eyebrows done and get a haircut.
u/El_Naphtali · 13 pointsr/TwoBestFriendsPlay

I don't see how E-Sports chairs are a solution compared to getting an actual good office chairs with ergonomic support.

I mean, there's some crossover there, but...

I've had the same office ergo chair for 5 years now and it hasn't fallen apart yet. Total no-name brand too.

I'm not sure if you'd find it comfortable or how your back of the chair cat would react to losing their spot though!

Consider looking for a second hand ergonomic chair. Bought a Steelcase Leap v2 on kijiji for under $200 and I love it

I need a new desk chair, which is pretty important to me because I work from home. I've already been to my local university surplus several times and I wasn't impressed with their selection. I'm thinking about something ordering something online like the Amazon Basics executive chair. I don't even know what I'm looking for, to be honest. Or maybe a mesh back chair like this? Honestly, I'm pretty clueless. I would love suggestions on either specific chairs, or what to look for in general.

Once again the chair is nothing special but I have found it to be quite comfortable. It is a good chair for under $200. Here is the Amazon link https://www.amazon.com/Serta-Health-Wellness-Executive-Office/dp/B00EUU5G82/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1496667176&sr=8-1&keywords=serta+air+health+and+wellness+executive+office+chair

I cannot recommend a drafting stool highly enough. going from a chair to a tall stool that swivels is like upgrading to VR all over again. this is the one I got from Amazon, originally for use with my standing desk.

u/armyboy941 · 4 pointsr/buildapcsales

>My belief now is that your investment in a computer chair is as important as investing in a GPU.

So many people don't understand this part. If you're going to be sitting for a long time for work or gaming, you need something that won't kill your back. Don't skimp on 2 things in life, a good mattress and a good computer chair.

My motto is if you can sleep in the chair and not wake up feeling like shit, it's a good chair.

Shameless plug if this chair doesn't suit and y'all have the budget for it. I highly recommend this chair since this is one I've had for almost 3 years and absolutely love it.

u/-Tom- · 4 pointsr/Unexpected

I had a quite....umm...large...site manager at a site I was on. He had this chair in his office. I sat in it a couple times and it was amazing. A guy could be comfortable in that chair.

u/[deleted] · 4 pointsr/buildapc

Get a mesh computer chair and mount that underneath it. The only thing worse than PC overheating is ... well.. you know.

u/tielknight · 4 pointsr/buildapcsales

I would say so.

Decent seat, mesh back and the 3-way adjustment is pretty much unheard of on chairs under ~$80.

edit : regarding your edit, there's also one for $58 from Amazon Warehouse : https://smile.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B008OTQ864/ref=dp_olp_all_mbc?ie=UTF8&condition=all

u/jaguilera10 · 3 pointsr/buildapcsales

Yep, they’re all practically the same and very uncomfortable. I ordered one recently https://www.amazon.com/Ficmax-Ergonomic-High-back-Retractible-Footrest/dp/B07228D99F and I should have done a bit more research because I didn’t know the whole controversy on gaming chairs. At first glance, at least to me, they looked comfortable and cool looking but once you sit on the bitch it feels like you’re sitting on a life vest. It’s fine for sitting an hour, but for more than an hour I started to get uncomfortable. I find more comfort sitting on my thin ass bicycle seat when I go 30+ miles cycling. Luckily I returned it and I’m researching which office chair I should get. I was thinking of getting this one https://www.amazon.com/Serta-Executive-Office-Technology-Leather/dp/B00EUU5G82 for about $20 less and I bet it is way more comfortable than the racing/gaming chairs crap.

u/miltonthecat · 3 pointsr/truegaming

This isn’t exactly what you asked for, but check out kneeling chairs on Amazon. They do 2 things:

  1. force you to sit up straight, improving posture and core strength, and
  2. increase the angle between your torso and thighs, meaning no more prolonged hyper-extension of your lower back muscles that you get with a typical desk chair.

    I found a cheap wooden kneeling chair on Amazon and bought some additional foam knee padding for my knees (since that’s where most of the pressure is transferred to in a kneeling chair). It took some getting used to, but it’s been my daily driver at work for over 2 years, and my crippling back pain has completely disappeared.

    EDIT: Here’s my chair. it’s a bit cheaply made and there are nicer models, but like I said, buy a foam kneeling pad for your knees and the combo does the trick.
u/Shenaniganz08 · 3 pointsr/medicalschool

Try to find a used Steelcase Leap V2

https://www.amazon.com/Steelcase-Leap-Fabric-Chair-Black/dp/B006H1QYBA

or Areon locally

I was able to find a refurbised Steelcase Leap V2 for $350. Yes its expensive but I've been using the same chair for 6 years and it looks brand new. Higher quality chairs are built to last a long time.

I went with the v2 over the Areon because at least to me it was more comfortable,the leading edge of the areon would cut circulation from my leg.

u/pyrocrastinator · 3 pointsr/pcmasterrace

Generally what you want in an office chair is good ergonomics and size. Most importantly you want to look for "lumbar support", this is the part of your back that gets hurt easily without good ergonomics. Here's an example: https://www.amazon.com/TOPSKY-Computer-Ergonomic-Synchronous-Mechanism/dp/B06XK9JDSW/ Good luck on your search!

u/PirateKilt · 3 pointsr/buildapc

Serta Leather Executive chair running $160 currently.

Commercial level, designed for big (up to 350 pounds) people, so it's durable and lasts forever. Bought mine back 2 years ago and it still looks/feels almost new.

u/josephripster · 3 pointsr/GlobalOffensiveTrade

Yeah what these two are saying, a good ergonomic office chair is 100% the way to go. As for me, I got this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B06XK9JDSW?psc=1&ref=yo_pop_mb_pd_title , it's a Topsky Mesh computer chair, it's nothing luxury, but a solid choice if you're on a budget, and it's lasted me a while, can't say I've ever been uncomfortable sitting in it. The gaming racer chairs aren't awful, but they're usually way overpriced for what they're giving you, which is mostly just aesthetic.

u/idiosyncrassy · 3 pointsr/AskWomen
u/MrRabuf · 3 pointsr/Guitar

I use this one. I like it because it has flip-up arm rests.

u/tennisguy163 · 2 pointsr/Charlotte

I went with the chair below, it has good lumbar support, plenty of options to adjust and is the best office chair I've ever owned. It is comparable to my friend's Herman Miller, which costs 3x the price. An optional head rest extension is available for this chair.

u/Xerotrope · 2 pointsr/pcmasterrace

I'm a really big fan of this chair and have stocked an office of programmers with it to ensure everyone is comfortable. The 'Black Leather' is the way to go because the black mesh will end up hurting your elbows if you rest on them for long periods of time. For ~$100 Prime, it's the best chairs I've gotten in years and I'd continue recommending them for extended periods of computer time.

u/LiswanS · 2 pointsr/buildapc

I think it is definitely worth the splurge on a nice chair, but I think under $200 is reasonable and gets you a lot of good options. Personally, I bought https://www.amazon.com/Serta-Health-Wellness-Executive-Office/dp/B00EUU5G82/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1537827716&sr=8-3&keywords=serta+computer+chair, which I love

u/ComputersByte · 2 pointsr/buildapc

Based on reviews (and I'm assuming you're in the US)

Higher end of your budget.

Lower end of your budget.

u/Captainjim17 · 2 pointsr/pcmasterrace

I link this every now and again on here, it's basically the US Department of Labors guide to giving your office workers seats that don't fuck up their backs and necks and make you liable for millions: https://www.osha.gov/SLTC/etools/computerworkstations/components_chair.html

I'd personally recommend something like this. You don't need to pay that much though, usually you can get one that was lightly used in an office for a few years for about half that price online.

Honestly those gaming chairs seem to tick all the boxes on the OSHA, I'd absolutely say go for one. Only reason I'm not using one is because I'm a grown ass man.

u/nellasbean · 2 pointsr/Battletops

I like it! I would suggest getting some nicer office chairs tho. Ergonomics are important, and back pain is no joke.

This is the one I have. Budget friendly and has all the knobs to customize how you and your family sit at the desk individually. For the shorter people in the family I'd suggest getting a foot rest so your legs don't dangle off the chair.

u/one_rand0m_guy · 2 pointsr/lifehacks

I have first-hand experience with this, too, both the eye and neck/shoulder/back pains. I have followed these tips for years and I have much fewer periods of pain now, and many days with none at all. Hope they help you.

  • Make sure you get up and stretch on your breaks. If my back is currently paining me, then between breaks, at least once an hour I take a moment between calls or tasks to stand and stretch just for a few seconds. If you have a chance while waiting for your caller to complete their password change or they put you on hold, that's a perfect opportunity.
  • If you wear glasses, please update your prescription regularly. Ask your eye care professional about computer vision products; nice information here on computer eye strain.
  • Desk height should be so that when you're typing, your elbows are at 90° angle.
  • Sit with you feet flat on the floor, in front of your hips, and the seat height so that your thighs are horizontal; you want to avoid seat height so high you're feet barely/don't touch the floor and you cut circulation. If you sit forward a lot, and are able to bring in your own chair to the office, check out kneeling chairs
  • Most will say to keep the seat back upright, but you can set it to be slightly reclined, but just enough so that when you lean back, you're not reclining.
  • Your monitor height should be set so center-screen is at least as high as your nose. Don't go too high, but to look up at your display will pull your head and shoulders up; a lower monitor will make you hunch over more.
  • Look away from your monitor for several seconds periodically, to allow your eyes to change focus. this will help a bit with headaches.
u/PikaMonster · 2 pointsr/pcmasterrace

I've got this chair. Not gonna lie I'm well over 450lbs. The chair doesn't squeak or groan at all. I use it ~15 hours a day for over 6 months and it's still like new.

This is the chair I got few months back. It's so damn comfy. No leather, no gaming marketing bs, just great ergo chair. Easy to assemble too. Office Depot/Max carry this brand too and sometimes offer discount like 5% for store pickups I think. It decent priced, actually I think its kinda cheap compared to many ergo chair. Anyway I would recommend going to the store and sitting on a few before buying, thats how I made the decision on this :)

You kinda notice that you are sitting on cords, but not really. It is overall quite comfortable. My problem with it, is that I am a short ass 5'5", and the chair doesn't quite get as low to the ground as I would like...

This is the one I have:

u/cricketwisperer · 2 pointsr/malelivingspace

I've owned the Aeron before, now own the Leap v2. I also sit on the Aeron all day at work.

Out of these two, I prefer the Leap much more. The leap is just more comfortable and fits better (despite the Aeron being offered in 3 sizes to the Leap's 1 size).

The build quality of the leap is the one drawback. The seat bottom and armrests have a little bit of play, which is quite annoying considering the cost.

This guy's ("Jimmy K") review is spot on:

u/Coolmew · 2 pointsr/Frugal

I did a fair amount of research on office chairs in your price range about 7 months ago because I was looking to spend about the same amount. I chose this chair and have been pretty happy with it. I get a lot less lower back pain (hardly any) with this chair than I did with the past few that I've owned (each of which cost $60-$90). After using this chair for >50 hours/week for over 6 months, it's still holding up quite well. Would recommend.

However, from Steelcases own site, this appears to be legit; yet I still see mentions of Madison Seating. Frustrating.

I'm 5'11" and about 210. Usually I can get a year out of a chair before it goes to hell. This one I bought two years ago and still love it as much as the day I bought it.

It's really comfy and has lots of adjustments to fit your sitting style.
I bought an attachable headrest for it as well the link is below.

I am 6'3 250lbs with a bad back after many injuries.

I bought this chair two years ago and it's still like new. It's the most comfortable thing I have ever sat in. I have no doubt this is perfect for you.

So the bad news is you wont find anything under $120 (I'm assuming USD) that's designed to support your weight. If you do find something comfortable it will probably wear out quickly. If you're willing to go a little more expensive though, you can get this chair for $192 on Amazon right now. This is the chair I used for several years before switching to a standing desk. It's designed to support someone up to 350lbs and the armrests are wider apart than most chairs so you won't be cramped. The frame is all metal and feels extremely sturdy. It was the only sub-500 dollar chair I've ever used that I could sit in all day without problems.

EDIT: I'm 6'4" and ~280lbs, so I say the above as someone about your size.

The one's at the office are cheap ones - they look like this.

I don't have one but know someone who has one of these: https://www.amazon.com/Office-Star-Synchro-Support-Managers/dp/B01EHQ5GNS/ and compares it to the Aeron chair.

Would it be worth switching out [this chair] (https://smile.amazon.com/Modway-Articulate-Black-Office-Chair/dp/B006IY89ZA?sa-no-redirect=1) I got for $45 after tax for this one. Main differences seems to be a head rest and mesh butt pad instead of a foam or whatever butt pad.

This one... Serta Bonded Leather Big & Tall Executive Chair, Brown https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AVUQQGQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_KvWRBb68ZBM0Z ...has big&tall in the name, and they mean it. Wide, solid. Nice weightless tilt without feeling like you are falling.

u/AngryFace4 · 1 pointr/buildapc

I'm a huge person, so I have a huge chair.

this one has lasted me several years thus far, feels pretty good, and is the cheapest in it's class.


it's not a "gaming chair" but that's a pretty stupid concept anyway.

u/kcolttam · 1 pointr/web_design

We have these chairs at work (I'm a lead web developer) and we all love them. Bang for the buck I'd say you can't go wrong with them. I pull 18 hour days some times, and being uncomfortable sitting has never once happened. Here's the chairs we have

u/BartZeroSix · 1 pointr/buildapc

Yeah I figured that out about the leather!

Mesh-back seems pretty good, which is actually what I have on my current chair, but the place where you site is only half mesh and the other half is dying :/

Not sure if full-mesh chair are durable?

I was looking at Ikea MARKUS and some of that kind too

u/vaxx_ · 1 pointr/buildapc

definitely full back, currently using a basic not full office chair and i dislike it compared to my other racing chair (that i sent back). i was considering 2 options from amazon(ca), this or this. i have $250 in gc credit on amazon thats why im limited to there

u/AndrewLB · 1 pointr/buildapc

I'm also in the market for a new chair. I'm sick of the fake leather (PU Leather, Bonded Leather, etc) chairs that ive unfortuantely been using for far too long and my back is forever thankful for it. I've looked at chairs ranging from $100 up to $900 and while I do enjoy the borrowed SteelCase Leap that im currently sitting in, I could never justify the price for this thing. Dont get me wrong, its built like an tank and will likely last decades instead of years, But its just not for me.

If you want a chair like the SteelCase Leap, they can be found for very reasonable prices used for as low as $275 here: https://designerseating.com/collections/work/products/steelcase-leap-v1-office-chair-black-fabric
So many great chairs sat in board rooms, offices, etc and were hardly used and are widely available.
They even the Herman Miller Aeron Semi-Loaded Size B, slightly used of course for $475. That's a $1100 chair new!

As for me, im looking at buying either the Alera Elusion Series Mesh High-Back Multifunction Chair found here:
https://www.amazon.com/Alera-Elusion-High-Back-Multifunction-Chair/dp/B0049UCECE/ref=sr_1_3?rps=1&ie=UTF8&qid=1492660004&sr=8-3&keywords=high+back+mesh+chair&refinements=p_85%3A2470955011

Or the Office Star High Back ProGrid II. https://www.amazon.com/Office-Star-FreeFlex-Adjustable-Multi-Function/dp/B00450P182/ref=sr_1_19?rps=1&ie=UTF8&qid=1492660004&sr=8-19&keywords=high+back+mesh+chair&refinements=p_85%3A2470955011

u/Baron_Von_D · 1 pointr/pics

Yep, I have seen people use standing stools and drafting stools. Alternating sitting and standing.

u/Joman101_2 · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

I have been using that type of chair for over 2 years. You get used to it fast. I recently replaced it with a EuroStyle Bungee Chair and it is amazing. It is a bit pricey but it is worth EVERY penny.

u/don_Shado · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

Here's Amazon's best sellers: http://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/office-products/1069132/ref=sr_bs_1

My personal chair is very similar to this. http://www.amazon.com/Serta-43506-Bonded-Leather-Executive/dp/B00AVUQQGQ/ref=zg_bs_1069132_8

Also, I'm 6'0 and 220 and it's big for me. I definitely think a good chair is a big part of PC gaming. Good luck finding one!

u/John0nly · 1 pointr/buildapc

This is a great chair, had it for 3 years now... padding and leather still in good shape.

http://www.amazon.com/Alera-Fraze-High-Back-Swivel-Leather/dp/B004C1RULU

The padding is firm though, not sure if you care (I don't). Still you'll be hard pressed to find a leather chair this cheap and this good elsewhere. If you see the 5* review on Newegg that's my review, I still stand by this chair.

240hz Dual Monitor Streaming PC


Video encoding for streaming is now more cost-effectively accomplished by the gpu rather than by the cpu. So we just need a 6-core cpu for gaming and the strongest NVIDIA gpu that fits the budget (AMD gpus still have poor encoders).

I have included two monitors because you will need a second monitor so that you can see what your chat is saying.

Fortnite Competitive Settings 1080p

  • Competitive Settings: Low preset, Epic textures, Epic view distance, 100% 3D resolution
  • Average fps: ~250
  • 1% low fps: ~180
  • Benchmark Video

    Streaming Performance:

  • Nvenc (gpu) encoding will reduce FPS by about 16% in Fortnite. As you can see from the link, this is much better than cpu encoding which would reduce FPS by about 24%.
  • All Nvidia cards from the Pascal and Turing series (10XX and 20XX) have dedicated Nvenc encoding modules. All cards from the same generation have the same encoding power.

    Windows 10

  • Use Microsoft's Windows 10 creation tool to get free unactivated Windows 10.
  • The only downside is a watermark in the bottom corner of your screen. Watermark will not show up on stream/recordings because you'll be using screen capture or game capture mode rather than screen capture.
  • You can always activate windows later if you choose.


    RGB Components

  • RGB Case fans (x3)
  • RGB Keyboard
  • RGB Mouse
  • RGB Headset
  • Blue LED Desk

  • Desk: Eureka Ergonomic Z1-S
  • Chair: Smugdesk Ergonomic Mesh Chair (includes mousepad)

    Explanation of Part Choices


  • Cpu: Best value cpu at this price point. Comes with a good stock cpu cooler which you won't need to replace unless you want to do heavy overclocking.
  • Motherboard: Cheapest standard ATX motherboard that is guaranteed to be compatible with Ryzen 3000 cpus without needing a BIOs update. Ignore the PCPartpicker compatibility warning, the MSI's MAX series motherboards are all compatible with Ryzen 3000 cpus.
  • Memory: 3600mhz is the price/performance sweet spot for Ryzen 3000 cpus. 16GB standard.
  • SSD: Cheapest 1TB TLC NVMe SSD with a dram cache and a 5 year warranty (make sure you register to get the warranty). NVMe SSDs are ~3 times faster than traditional SATA SSDs. TLC SSDs are much faster than the cheaper QLC SSDs in sustained reads/writes and do not slow down as much as they fill up.
  • HDD: 2TB will store a very large amount of your gaming footage for later uploading to youtube.
  • Video Card: Strongest NVIDIA gpu that fits the budget. We cannot use the AMD video cards because they do not have good video encoders for streaming.
  • Case: This is the cheapest case with reasonable airflow and addressable RGB fans. It has a tempered glass front window, tempered glass side window, three ARGB front intake fans, one rear exhaust fan, and a PSU shroud.
  • Power Supply: 7 year warranty. 550W is more than enough for this 339W system while leaving plenty of room for future upgrades. Modular for easier cable management. 80+ gold efficiency.
  • Primary Monitor: Cheapest 240hz 1ms 1080p monitor. Very good reviews. Your PC will easily push 240fps in Fortnite on and as a streamer you will want every competitive edge you can get so it doesn't make much sense to settle for a 144hz monitor.
  • Secondary Monitor: Cheapest 1080p IPS panel monitor with a large sample size of good reviews. It is 23.8" which is as close as we can get to the 24.5" of the primary monitor.
  • Keyboard: Cheapest backlit, tenkeyless, mechanical keyboard with Red-style key switches. Cherry MX Red key switches (and generic clones like these Outemu Red switches) are the preferred switch for gaming because the have a linear feel, light actuation pressure, and low noise. We want a tenkeyless keyboard so that it is shorter, giving more room for the mouse.
  • Mouse: The G502 is the most popular gaming mouse. It is generally less popular in other esports games, but its extra buttons are particularly useful for Fortnite because of all of the building hotkeys. It is one of the more popular mouses among professional Fortnite players according to prosettings.com. Other popular choices in this price range include the Razer DeathAdder Elite and the Corsair M65 Pro.
  • Headphones: This is the best mid-range gaming headset according to most sources. It is basically the cheapest headset that checks off all of the boxes: good sound quality, build quality, comfort, and a microphone that can rotate out of the way when you're not using it.
  • Desk: The Eureka Ergonomic Z1-S Gaming Desk is consistently featured on the "Best computer desks" lists and has a huge sample size of good reviews. It comes with a cup holder, headphone hook, controller stand, game storage and an extra-large mouse pad for your gaming keyboard and mouse.
  • Mouse Bungee: The Razer Mouse Bungee V2 is one of the most popular bungees and has a large sample size of good reviews. It is weighted so that it doesn't move while you're gaming. If you want an even more secure bungee you should look at the Cougar Bunker which uses a suction cup to ensure that it will not move. I didn't recommend the cougar one because it's less convenient if you want to adjust the location and because the orange logo seemed sort of out of place with the rest of this battlestation.
  • Chair: The Smugdesk Ergonomics Mesh Computer Chair is extremely well reviewed and comes with adjustable everything to ensure a good ergonomic fit. I know $190 seems expensive for a chair, but one of the most important life pro tips is to never cheap out anything that separates you from the ground (mattresses, chairs, shoes, etc) or your body will punish you eventually. Do not get one of the racing-style "gaming" chairs because they are overpriced and their ergonomics are usually very poor. You would have to spend ~$350 to get one with good ergonomics.

Why not this one, that is cheaper, has more reviews, and is titled less strangely? Ships from and sold by amazon.

u/justmots · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

Do yourself a favor and don't even bother spending $100 on that. First, good quality gaming racing chairs are upwards of $300+. That chair you linked, will make all sorts of noises, feel cheap, and probably not be made that well. Get yourself an ergonomic chair and you'll be much better off. In fact, I just got one that's pretty damn affordable and I love it. If I were to recommend you a chair it would be this one.

Hi,
if you want top, but expensive chair you should go for Steelcase (http://www.amazon.com/Steelcase-Leap-Fabric-Chair-Black/dp/B006H1QYBA) or Herman Miller (http://www.amazon.com/Aeron-Task-Chair-Herman-Miller/dp/B0014YGGKE/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1451676984&sr=8-3&keywords=herman+miller). Its really expensive for chair, but you dont need to buy new chair ever again.

If you want something cheaper Ikea Markus is fairly popular and not bad especially for the money (http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/60309732/#/70261145).
The middle ground in my opinion would be some ergonomic chair from brand like Office Pro (or your regional equivalent) - for this your best shot is just go to the chair store, try chairs in your price range, sit, lean and test and than take your favourite.
Personally, Im not fan of "gaming chairs" I think you can get better chair in same price range, when you go for office or ergonomic chair.
I hope this helped and wasnt too long and boring to read!

u/A_White_Tulip · 1 pointr/malefashionadvice

I don't own one myself, but have you ever tried one of these types of chairs? It feels so good.

u/HD_ERR0R · 1 pointr/CabaloftheBuildsmiths

Thanks for recommendation. I'm just not sure if I like bass all that much. I listen to music very little. I would use them for playing videos games (primarily FPS) and watching YouTube, hulu, and Netflix. So I'm planning on going with the The Shure SRH1540 ($499) when I save up.

All my parts should be here by Thursday.

Amazon a day later sold the video card and SSD card cheaper right after I bought those parts -_-

Also I was looking at computer chairs. Needed a 2nd option on this. I can only spend $210 on this. I know you are no chairologist expert but... I was looking at these two...

Edit:[ I'm think I'm going to be getting this one... http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000Q5XTE8//ref=cm_sw_su_dp?tag=gamingacc-20

I like the way the leather ones look but it's not real leather. In the near future I'm going to be sitting at my desk for many hours everyday so I need to it last and be comfortable. Looks okay but yea. You Have any input? ]

u/bringerofsexyback · 1 pointr/medicalschool

I've really liked the chair I got off Amazon.

It's held up extremely well so far and is still comfortable after being in it for 12 hours. It also only took 10 min or so to set up out of the box, which was awesome!

The only thing I might suggest to add along with it would be a foot rest or something to keep ya the most comfortable while studying for long periods.

u/kerosene31 · 1 pointr/DestinyTheGame

I just looked for sales on Amazon. The problem is that prices can vary a lot (and spending a lot doesn't mean you get a great chair).

I bought this one in 2017, but I spent only $120 on it, not the $220 it is now. I love it, but wouldn't have spent twice as much on it.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EUU5G82/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

If you happen to live near an office supply place (if retail still exists), they usually have floor models you can try out. Otherwise, I just watch Amazon for sales (again obviously prices really vary) and look for something that looks good. Ordering online unfortunately involves taking a little leap of faith as you can't try it out.

It doesn't hurt to throw in a little support for the backside as well. I cracked a tailbone when I was younger (a real pain in the a**!) so one of these are cheap and really make those longer sessions more comfortable.

My office has $1000 aeron chairs and these chairs

They are pretty big and comfortable and alot people prefer them to the more rigid aeron chairs due to the seat cushion.

u/paradigmnomad · 1 pointr/scoliosis

Gaming chairs, I've heard mixed things about. I for sure want to purchase one in the future to try them out to see if what people say is true or not.

This is the chair I own but I wish it had more padding in the seat. It's not a gaming chair obviously but I've usually good for about 4-5 hours before I need to get up. I have the back tilted a little bit as that's more comfortable with my rods but it keeps my posture in check for sure since I am still able to slouch.

It's really hard to find something without sitting down in them for a bit :\ Everything in stores was pricey or that 'executive' style which I've only heard negative things about for the back.

u/nobasketball4me · 1 pointr/battlestations

So for the Aeron, I see a basic version, and a highly adjustable. What is the difference? What are they referring to when they mean "adjustable"?


Edit: nevermind I went with the full package size B. $474 out the door. Also ordered this headrest to go with it.

Jebus christ.. looking for a desk chair was the hardest thing! Took me weeks to decide on one, but ended up with this one and I like it, especially for the price. Don't know if i could've made a better choice for a little more but it's comfortable, forced me to sit better, and has a great weight to it.

u/shidokanartist · 1 pointr/ultrawidemasterrace

You can find it here. It’s super comfortable and has plenty of adjustment options, and the mesh seat/back are great for preventing swamp ass during long sessions.

I made the mistake early in building this setup of buying a racing style gaming chair and this absolutely blows it out of the water.

u/schwabadelic · 0 pointsr/ultrawidemasterrace
