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!

    Herman Miller Aeron is the best chair i’ve ever had, it was expensive in 2017 and probably more so now but honestly…it may be one of my best life purchases ever, no joke. I’m on the PC all day, and along with walking and a2g squat-stretches I never have back pain or any neck weirdness (but thats due to good monitor pos’ for me of course I imagine).

      I have that chair too! I bought it in late 2020 and it cost a lot (bought it new) and it’s very worth it. I can sit for hours without any problems.

      Before I had it though, I went through a few cheap office chairs and they all sucked.
