Best PC Gaming Chair?

hey everyone,

I wasn't sure where this topic should go (sorry in advance mods).

Anyway, what is the most comfortable office chair you use? And I'm talking ergonomic comfortable, not lazyboy-sink-in comfortable. I have good posture and I would like to maintain it. I have an ergonomic keyboard and mouse, my monitor and tray are at optimum levels, but my seating quality seems to be lacking a little bit.

It isn't terrible, but it isn't the best.

So I want something that's comfortable for extended periods of time. I'm talking 3-4 hour gaming sessions with appropriate 15 minute breaks squeezed in there.

I've tested a lot of chairs in my days and I haven't come across one that makes you feel comfortable like a recliner chair. I could never find a computer chair that can even come close to being that comfortable. I know you can't use a recliner chair to PC game. That wasn't my point. I'm simply saying (sounds complicated now doesn't it?), that a lot of these chairs suck. Ranging from simple computer chairs to executive leather ones.. none of them are comfortable. Not even those $400 ergonomic ones. Is my ass too big or something? I'm very lean though.. I either slide off a chair or fall off of it. Over time, the cushion starts to deflate pretty badly.

I'm using this $200 office manager chair and it's pretty crappy now. I had to modify it the other day. Took out some cushioning from it and added my own touch LOL.

I know I'm not of much help. Maybe I'm just trying to say, you need to sit in it and try it out. Don't order online. This isn't something you can determine by looking at pictures. Do what FelipeInside did.

If I could, I would grab a Racing Seat (like the one in a modified car), and use the bottom part (legs with wheels), and attach it to the Racing Seat. That would be super comfortable. Now if someone could make something like that, with an affordable price tag.

any office chairs should be good gaming chairs :P the priority is comfort.

if it's hurting your back or butt after 1 hr of sitting down, then it's probably not good.

i've had my chair since for 4 years now and it's still very comfy.

This.

definetly not a sofa, when you're leaning on a coffee table. i can tell you that.

I have some nice office chair, i got for free

PC gaming and being comfortable is a fairy tale. It won't happen.

Comfortable and gaming = playing consoles ... usually ...

hmm guess if you were using a wireless controller with your pc and playing certain games you could be comfortable on your couch doing so but in regards to playing games that require kb and mouse things will always be the same with that and you will be uncomfortable

A comfortable one, lol? Just find one that suits your posture, and that'll be good for a PC gaming chair.

How does that work? where do you put the mouse? on the floor next to you?

My Chair I highly recommend it. Office Max got pretty good warrenty plan on office chairs can pretty much destory it and bring it back in 3yr exchange it. I'm on my 2nd Chair soon to be 3rd pretty soon lol.

I have one of these, very comfortable especially when at a desk. (I also have a bad back so its worth the $$$ for me)darksusperia

I use a chair not meant for desks. SAGE_OF_FIRE

I just bought a Markus chair from IKEA and am enjoying it.

I use since the last five years a italian Flendit Royale, it cost me around 400 € but was well spent money:

My previous chair was a cheap 50 € office; I break it sinking back while watching a movie.

I've got one of these. It's really cheap and really comfortable. Pretty perfect in other words, if you ask me. Couldn't find it on the US version of the website, though..

there are probably better chairs out now and im in the market, why not bump a thread instead of making a new one.

can't win for losing.

Funny this thread gets necro'ed. I've been looking for a nice gaming chair. Well, doesn't have to be designed especially for gaming, but a nice comfortable chair. I've been looking at one by Lexmod and Flash.

I just use a chair with wheels on it. So if I need to go get something to eat, I can "roll" all the way to the fridge lol. Great workout for your quads...

Necros!!

I recommend an all mesh chair. They last surprisingly well and ofc. keeps you cool from long sessions.

I've got a Kingpin chair and it is a overpriced POS.

  I did buy a Flendit Royale like 5 years ago:

   Is comfy, but cost me around 400 .

This is what I use. Helps to keep me on my toes when gaming. Also, helps to relieve some of the pressure on my back.
