Finding the right gaming chair (kbin.social)

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!

Most people swear by Herman Miller office chairs. I've heard that you can get them for cheap at execution sales and the like

I can attest, beginning of covid, I immediately bought a Herman Miller. Now a couple of years later, the chair still looks, feels and sits as new.

Do note that there is only one comfortable position though, which is by design. Ergonomic chairs push you in the proper position. If you try to sit on it sideways or any other position, it will feel terrible. But I am a person that needs it
