There atleast has to be 1 fucking comfortable chair. Everything i try makes my ass,thighs,back or legs hurt. Its actually getting really annoying because all the fucking ergonomic retard shills dont help at all when finding a comfortable chair. I've tried ergonomic and it was fucking uncomfortable. COMFORT trumps whatever bullshit ergonomics your gay chair has. Fuck. Im this fucking close to just quitting desktop because companies refuse to make a single comfortable chair. Im sick off all these shills shilling 1000-2000 dollar chairs and then you still see faggots using cushions on these super expensive chairs. Im being psyopped. There has to atleast be 1 comfortable non-slave chair.As a sidenote, here is a HERMAN SHILLER chair for like 2000 dollars. Look at this fucking piece of shit and tell me that looks comfortable. Fucks sake.
Works on my ass
>Chair can recline, but you're fighting against a spring and can't lock it in a reclined position>If it does let you lock it in a reclined position it's only in the fully reclined position. All or nothing.>When you recline, the seat doesn't recline with the back so you'll slip out of the chairCar seats have been able to adjust the actual seat independently from the back for decades. Also, more chairs should have netting. Benefits include:>You can fart through it easily>It doesn't hold smells or dirt>Your ass doesn't get sweaty because it can breathe
The Steelcase Leap is better. Buy a refurbished one. I don't have one, but my brother does and it's nice. When my current chair eventually, breaks I'll be getting one.
>>100103610I also have a Leap, and it's remarkable how comfortable it is. The padding is thin, but I can sit in it all day without any discomfort.
>>100103431I just use one of these. Chinesium, probably $100, does the job, no pain. Caveman chairs are always better than >muh ergonomic nonsense. You're not a jellyfish.
>>100103600>>Chair can recline, but you're fighting against a spring and can't lock it in a reclined position>>If it does let you lock it in a reclined position it's only in the fully reclined position. All or nothing.they put the lock on purpose in shit shit positions, the movement is what keeps your spine from dying. Most >1000$ chairs are not made for your fat ass, but emergency dispatchers and likewise sitting on them 8-12 hours a day without sending them to premature retirement>fighting against a springwrong setup
>>100103431you're fat
>>100103431Just put one of these on it. Get a thick one at least 2 inches. It's weird at first but you get used to it and your ass never hurts again, no matter how flat your chair has gotten.
>>100103431Get a normal office chair and hit the gym.
I've used Herman Miller Aero and Steelcase Leap extensively and both are good chairs. I'm 6ft2 190lbs not fat not skinny and never really had any complaints about them.
>>100103766>>100103610that shit gives me pain behind my thigh where seat edge meets it.
>>100103431i use the ikea markus (picrel) but in black leather. its pretty comfy but the metal bars supporting the armrests dig into my thighs when i sit cross legged which can hurt. >>100103600 you can lock it in multiple positions and the seat reclines with the back. only problem is the bottom isn't made of netting. the back is thoughi got it from my mum so it was free for me but ikea sells them for 290EUR/310USD> t. 170cm, 53kg / 5'7", 116lbs
>>100104480Seat gets uncomfortable after a few minutes and the back fucked up my back even after removing the lumbar support completely
>>100104526skill issue, i'm sorry anon
how much does you fat ass weigh?
>>100103431Hit the gym and start exercising.
>>100103766I bought a steelcase leap v2 several months ago. Absolutely zero regrets.Just go to craigslist and there are probably people selling for cheap nearby.
>>100103809What the fuck are you talking about?
>>100104275Stop being 300lbs+.
>>100104858im under 300 fag.
>>100104905>under 300 but didn't answer >>100104551how much does you fat ass weigh, anon?
The Steelcase 1 thats like $500. Easy no screws installation. Also you can get it used half price usually somewhere like fb market or offerup
>>100104950Watch him be 297lbs with a horrific "Water tastes bad" tier diet that wrecks their body.
>>100103431You might have developed problems with you back, anon. Visit a therapist and start deadlifting (be VERY pedantic with a technique). This worked for me and now any chair is comfy for me.
>>100104644This is what I did. From Craigslist I found an office chair reseller that had a ton of inventory, was able to look through and find one without stains and minimal cosmetic issues. One of the best purchases I've made.
>>100103431solved
>>100105264alternatively, opt for the classic in picrel
>>100104992not him but water is great there are times nothing hits the spot like a glass of fresh plain water
>>100103431have you tried being less fat?
all you fucking need brah
You're all a bunch of retard consoomer pussies.Been using pic rel for 30+ years (not same model but same idea). My ass is good, my back is good, my neck is good.Retarded consoomer propaganda.
>>100103431Retard, you gamble on a chair and you might suffer for years to come. That's called life.
>>100103431I just have the Staples Executive chair. It works.
Ergo chairs are literally a meme.
>>100105701Also guess what programming language I use.
>>100105701Based. People sat on these for thousands of years just fine.
>>100103431You just need to get something like pic related for 200-300 shekels>comfy as fuck>can lean back no problem>padded arm restsThe down side is they are not built to last. Treat them as disposable, something you have to buy ever year or two and don't fall for the (((ergonomic))) office cuck psyop
>>100105911>something you have to buy ever year or twoDo you have claws and fangs in your ass?
>>100103431Chairs are uncomfortable because humans aren't meant to sit down for hours a day. Take the sit and stand pillt. tried every single ergonomic chair under the sun only to find out ergonomic stools are superior
>>100105928>muh heckin` BIFL durability!>ONLY chair I'll ever buy!stop being a poor fag. Chairs will naturally wear out over time. You don't use the same mattress for years and years, do you? How about shoes?
>>100103431>>100103610>>100104275This site that sells chairs and runs a chair review channel came up with the ultimate chair they call the Lamia - a Leap with the seat from a Steelcase Amia - supposed to be best of bothThey occasionally do drops for themhttps://www.btod.com/blog/lamia-signup/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_ow_ueTvUg
>>100103431comfort and ergonomics are very different conceptscomfort feels good short term but ruins your body long termergonomic chairs shouldn't be comfortable, because they should be forcing you to rest your weight correctly ensuring you don't curve your spine or anything
>>100103431I had the same thought about the Aeron and Embody (to the point that I was considering returning both) until I lowered the seat slightly, and suddenly my leg pain went awayTurns out I need the seat just below knee height (which is not perfectly ergonomic) or it starts to hurt eventually, especially in the Embody since I like to recline in it which boost the knees up furtherOf the two, the Embody is my favorite by far, though I can get a bit sweaty in the summer
I hate the new style office chairs. Plastic and plastic mesh as big as a person with four or five levers so everyone from a child to a gorilla can be moderately uncomfortable. Just terrible.I like those old small office chairs like picrel. Arm rests are small, usually hard plastic that somehow doesn't break, stays out of the way. Base and wheels are metal. And the seat is usually fabric, probably some plastic fabric. No head rest, back barely reaches your shoulder blades. Thin and unobtrusive. One lever controls the height. You usually see these in some forgotten basement lab or in a dumpster while they're unloading new mesh shit.
>>100105928nta but I used to absolutely wreck the casters over time by leaning back a lot and putting my legs up. I also have my home gym next to my home office so I imagine the repeated impacts of me plopping down there in between heavy sets fucked it too. the casters just loosened in their sockets over time. one timethe weld around the gad tube failed on me too. not even fat but a heavy /fit/fag tbqh.I ended up replacing casters with feet and everything is right with the world, I've had the same cheap office chair for five years now
>>100106005>ergonomic chairs shouldn't be comfortableIf you aren't totally broke, it's easy enough to find a nice middle ground. OP is either a fatty or an autist with weird sitting habits.
>>100105972>You don't use the same mattress for years and years, do you? How about shoes?Kek.For 30+ years I've been using the same wooden chehr, which is itself 40+ years old. I can't trace it too far back, it might even be older, like, 60 or 70+ years old.>1cm thick plywood>a rug>a twice folded fluffy bedsheet for a minimal layer of "comfort" and (((ergonomics)))That's all there's in between me and the floor, I don't have a mattress. My sleep is actually improved.Been using same shoes since like 8 years ago, might as well go for another 8.Bottom line is changing things is a hassle. I always opt for durability.
>>100105972i only replace my mattress every year. i expect my chair to last at least twice as long
If anyone can find where i can buy this exact chair i will personally buy a 50 euro (or whatever the equivalent currency you have) steam gift card and send it to you. Its impossible. Noname brand except for 1 of the parts made by Tung-yu and the date is 2003 on it
My understanding is that ergonomic chairs are meant for people who sit down for hours, but I'm a pacer. I don't sit in one place. If there's a difficult problem I'll go for a walk or just pace around the office for a bit figuring it out, then when I'm done sketching out the solution in my head I'll sit down and type it out in one go. I've been programming for 20 years and I don't think I've ever sat down longer than an hour doing it.
>>100106099>mattress>every year
>>100106126>I take a shower every month, whether I need it or not!filthy swine

>>100105884>thousands of yearsthat's low stools and benches tall chairs as used today only became daily furniture and not a mark of office in the 16th centuryWesterners owe our fucked tendons and inability to squat to this continued fad

>>100103431You need to lose weight fatass. The chair isn't uncomfortable, your body is crushing itself.Just give up and get a recliner
>>100103431it's not the chair
>>100106241I don't have trouble focusing, just think better when I'm in motion, with nothing like a screen staring me directly in the face so I can wrestle with the problem in my head in peace.
>>100106192use a waterproof mattress coverthrowing out mattresses every year is a massive waste, as well as being a pain
>>100106260This is very true. In the same manner if you're a sloucher you'll be slouched. You need to deliberately engage good posture.
>>100106272I think you're replying to bait. That was a hyperbolically retarded conclusion to arrive to, out of such a little subset of information.>>100106272In the past I have worked with your kind but didn't have a name for that, now it all makes sense. I'm also confident to bet that you're blonde.

>>100106488That's what we were talking about, peanut brain. See, if you'd taken those pills you'd be sane now and remember it.
>>100104905>im under 300 fag>googles the conversiondo americans really think being less than 130kg is not fat? like jesus fuck, my father weighs less than that and is currently losing doing weightloss shit cuz we love him and we don't want him to die early.Gravy is a bitch, you either have lose weight or visit a PT because you broke something.
Anyone had experience with Crandall? A refurbished Leap v2 600$ pill is a lot easier to swallow than the 1500$ new price.
>>100103431I daily an Embody and the seat is actually the most comfortable part of the chair. It's springy and has just the right amount of support without feeling like hot foam. That's all I can shill for this crap.The arm rests SUCK, they can't lock into position and they always rattle, and the cushion is a cheap rubbery leather that degrades.The back is no better than a park bench, it's stiff to all hell and the tall back puts strain on your shoulders while also not having a head rest. You're basically forced to lean forward and only use the lumbar section.Oh and good fucking luck cleaning this shit, it has a literal skeleton with tons of surface area for dust to collect on, and the bottom cushion acts like a dust filter to where it releases fine particulate in the air every time you sit down.Buy a Steelcase chair if you think expensive office chairs are worth it, otherwise stick with those $100 office supply store chairs.
>>100106591Being under 300 lbs isn't necessarily healthy but it's not until 300 lbs or so that you really have to be mindful of shit like your chair being able to hold your weight. t. former lardo
>>100105972Why be a richfag, when you can be an even richer fag by spending less money? If you can get a good product that lasts a long time, why shouldn't you?
>>100106366who are you talking to?
>>100106142It's actually for the dildo
>>100106054ergonomic isn't a scaleit either is or isn't. there is no middle ground. it will either fuck your spine permenantly or it won't. you only have one spine, why risk it?you cannot be comfortable and ergonomically supported at the same time, because comfort requires your entire weight being supported by the chair and ergonomics require you body doing the majority of the work with minimal support to ensure correct posture
>>100107154this was mostly in reference to people spending a gorillion dollars on memes like Herman Miller, Steelcase etc. Ergonomics is fine if you are goy cattle slaving 10 hours a day sitting on your ass for shekelberg, otherwise its better to spend less and get something actually comfortable to sit in while gaming/funposting.You could spend a shitload and get something comfy, but even the most well made office chairs will eventually have issues due to their inherent design. If you're not some poorfag third worlder a couple hundred every year or so for a new chair isn't all that much.

>>100109430aeron is a great chair tho
>>100104790not that anon but poor locking mechanisms are there to encourage you to leave the chair unlocked, as the constant small movements are better for your back. fighting against the spring is a sign that you havent properly adjusted the resistance, assuming your chair allows for it.
>>100107954I had an old executive desk chair my Dad bought from a used office furniture store in the 90s. It was baby shit green leather with a brown cloth seat. Ugliest piece of furniture I have ever seen in my life, but I have never been able to find a comfier place to park my ass.
I like my Aeron, but I don't think there's a single chair that's perfect for everyone.>>100109079I slouch in my chair all the time lol
>>100106591No, generally if people are over 220-ish pounds (~100kg) or so depending on height, they know they're pushing it. If you're under 6 foot that's probably more like 200, and over 6'5 it's around 240 or so. But they know.
Now try getting a comfy chair when 6'7"
>>100105701Right, I have asked many times exactly biomechanically why ergo chairs are better. And no one could answer the question
>>100103431I kind of agree. I got a refurbished embody for 450$ and I was really disappointed. The only reason I still use it is because I don't feel like spending money on a chair, and because I realised that the real solution to these type of issues is strengthening your core a bit and stop living a super sedentary lifestyle. Chairs simply aren't the root cause and therefore won't be the solution.
>>100111077ignoring everything else, having adjustable height on a chair lets you avoid the edge putting pressure on the back of your legs if the chair is too high, and avoid tilting your pelvis and thus rounding the lower back if the chair is too low.
Any chairs in Europe. Fucks sake you americans have it so easy. I cant order 90% of the chairs you talk about because you refuse to either ship it to me or its 2000 dollars

Are you stupid OP? Ergonomic chairs aren't supposed to feel comfy. They’re supposed to keep everything in place while sitting properly.Stop sitting like a mongoloid and expecting your chair to fix your caveman pose. I’ve had the same used Aeron for 8 years now with no issues at all. Your unhinged ramblings tell the entire story.
just get a dining chair or a cheap office chair, strap a lumbar pillow to it, and get a foot rest saved you over $1000 or moreergonomic chairs are retarded memes that have been massively shilled out of no where in the past 5 years
>>100118002Nah just get a 24 hour/operator chair. They're not as expensive as the gimmicky ergo chairs and take much more of a beating. Something implementing BIFMA X5.1 or any equivalent standard.
>>100118136like?
>>100118002>ergonomic chairs are retarded memes that have been massively shilled out of no where in the past 5 yearsjudging by the evolution of /bst/, i'd say more people here have gotten real jobs where they experienced decent chairs and subsequently started buying them for home use and then making these threads
>>100104057This. These Purple chair cushions are the shit!
>>100118213idk what mine even is but implements , some brand I've never heard of. Just search for 24 hour chairs, pick some store and sort by price. That's all I did, so long as they pass relevant standards like it's BS 5459 in the UK. They will be pretty much the same just with more or less frills that don't matter unless you weight like 500lbs+ or something crazy.
>>100118427*mine implments BS 5459 but you want something implementing BIFMA standards in the US.
>>100118440>>100118427nta, but how did you learn about these standards?
>>100104480had the same problem, so i did this.crude, but it does the job
>>100118474I don't remember how I first came across them. My company offered us a budget to buy chairs for WFH at the start of the pandemic. I guess through some web searches I came across the whole concept of operator chairs. I figured they must be good since employees working in call centres/911 dispatchers can sue their employers if they get any kind of injury from being in the chair all the time and companies would go to great lengths to avoid that.Mine meets the common uk standard so I just asked chatgpt what the equivalent US standard is.
>>100118574interesting, thanks for the insight pham, aaaand noted
>>100103454
>>100104480unusable because no adjustable arm rest>>100105039probably costs a million dollars>>100105264>>100105332acceptable if you're sitting for 1 hour/dayone of these garbage gamer things are probably the decent option because they at least recline and have proper arm and head rests, the basic features a chair should have.>but ergo is SUPPOSED to be bad, uncomfortable AND expensiveliterally just go to the gym and train your core, then come back home to your actually comfortable chair.
>>100106103these chairs are all chinese made, they are all the same and easily found anywhere

>>100107954Ah, now that's a proper Captain's chair, I tell you what.
How fat are you?
Haworth Fern brah
Why not buy a chair that will drive you fucking crazy in like 5 minutes?
>>100120259heard a funny story from a woman who got a job working as an editor and proofreader at a magazine in tokyo, on the first day she showed up at the office and all of the other employees were fashionable women who were sitting on balance balls. "thats when i knew it wasnt gonna work out. i asked for a normal chair... ended up quitting that month" this seems like a griftier take on that paradigm
>>100103431>non-slave chair.admit you're a slave and use the $20 trash heap.You become too comfortable in the pricey chairs and don't move your muscles leading to back pain, muscle fatigue and joint detioration. Over designed back rests promote relaxing important muscles used to keep correct posture and you end up looking like you walk around with 9 stap-ons in your cock hole and an elephant's foot up your ass.
>>100120535>t never sat in themoverdesigned chairs are uncomfortable as fuck and intentionally designed as much
I use the Hbada E3 and it's delightfully comfortable. Mogs cushioned or fabric chairs and is very customizable, I'm surprised it's not shilled here.

>>100109032I've heard a lot of people shill them but I've tried a friend's secretlabs chair and I wasn't impressed. It was a higher quality version of those generic gaymer chairs. I used to have a dxracer drifting series and I hated it. It was too similar to that.>>100109455I have a BMI of 22. I weigh 74. Women are stronger than me and could easily rape me.

>>100122128My dad got one in 1998 and now I use it. The detachable lumbar support thing broke a couple years ago but other than that it's in great condition. Oh and one of the wheels broke. The wheels are completely bog standard dog shit wheels. It's a high quality chair but I just don't like not having a neck rest or the ability to recline and lock in a reclined position. It's either lock it straight or have some spring pushing against you.
>>100122364I might if you give me a way to DM you.
Just buy seat cushions off amazon, they unironically fix the problem of chairs making your butt hurt without you spending hundreds on a good one.

>>100122657That's still pretty expensive for a Fern. We get ours in Phoenix office supply stores for >$750. Great chairs. Also I use a Haworth standing desk. Build quality on it is excellent. Normally $1100 but I got mine for $425 at the same supplier.
>>100122657what mattress did you buy? i've bought like 5 in the past 5 years and they all make me want to stretch my neck on a rope after even a few hours
>>100103431I love that herman miller chair, I got one for our lake house and I can't wait to use it again. It improves my posture by making me sit slightly forward, most chairs make me lean back into the back rest which makes me back weak and have poor circulation.
>>100123273not that anon but I got a Purple Premier Medium Hybrid and it's fantastic. Comparable to some of Tempur's models for 30% less.
>>100123273https://www.sealy.com/mattresses/posturepedic-hybrid-mattress/v/420/Sealy Posturepedic® Hybrid Soft. I have so far felt a single mattress that may have been comfier (something at Macy's), it was really hard to tell, but it was over $3,000 whereas I got this one on sale for barely $1,000. >>100123357My coworker told me to check out "the Purple mattress" so I laid on one at the store and I was like wow this is shit. I later found out that there are several kinds, and considering how well-reviewed they are the one I tried probably was unpopular, but the way he worded it I really thought there was only one "the Purple mattress" lol.
>>100123473There used to only be one but now there's multiple at pretty much every price bracket. I do their luxury line after comparing the Tempurpedic against Purple's luxury line in the same showroom. That's the important thing, find a showroom with all the ones you're considering side by side so you're not driving across town and forgetting how one feels against the other.
>>100103431I have a DxRacer. Basically shaped like a sports car seat, so it's using a proven comfy shape. Only issue is the cheap fake chinese leather breaks down after a few short years.
I use a standard office chair that has lots of adjustment and a big cushion for my butt.
>>100103431if you're having this much trouble finding a comfortable chair, unironically you're probably sitting wrong. You should be sitting on your sits bones, putting most of the pressure on them, not your fat ass. If you do that you can comfortably sit on concrete benches. The other thing is that for you back, the pressure should be on your upper back around your shoulder blades. Doing this means that your lower back and abs are engaged. Lumbar support in chairs is like arch support in shoes, it just causes those muscles to disengage and become weak, causing much larger issues. I fly a lot and go on road trips fairly frequently and putting the pressure around your shoulder blades makes a world of difference. Not only is flying and driving for longer periods more comfortable, but my back doesn't get jacked up at all from it. I might be a little tight around the hips after a long flight/drive, but it's nothing a little stretching can't fix and again, I get zero back issues.
Can a non poorfag actually give me the real rundown on the Embody?Im about to shell out 2600 USD for a fresh one + headrest, and need a NON POORFAG NON OBESE opinionFucking landwhales with their thighs touching 3 different parts of the chair at once
>>100103431If the Leap isn't comfy it's because you're a fat fuck lol. Try a treadmill and sit less fatty.
>>100123932Go to a goddamn showroom anon. Don't buy ANYTHING without sitting in it. Also don't make the mistake of buying a headrest. I thought I needed an Atlas when I got my Aeron. $200 sitting in the corner of my room because turns out, I didn't need a headrest in a truly ergonomic chair.
>>100103431>he needs a chairjust STAND in front of your computer or you a sissy bitch faggot?
>>100103600Jesus, how far are you?
>>100120259FEET
Buy a control room chair, can't get comfier than those.
>>100103610>>100103766also did this, buying a leap v1 from an ebay seller of second hand/"open box" office chairs for like 1/4th the price of newone of the best purchases i've made for surehowever, i have heard that there's a bit of rng involved when doing this. i guess i was lucky and got a solid unitthe thing about the leaps is that they don't have the plastic lip around the outside of the bottom cushion like some other expensive brands do. this is legitimately make or break for me, as it cuts off your circulation if you lean your legs in too hard on it. the leaps don't have it, and i think i would only buy leaps from here on out
i wanted to get one of those chairs where you can sit indian stylesaying indian style is politically incorrect though so it's a "criss cross" chairthe name turns me off now so i'm not gonna get one
>>100122128Those chairs suck. I used one and my legs kept falling asleep when I'd cross them. Also weren't very comfortable. I'd just get a Leap.
>>100105834C
>>100103431
>>100105264That chair fucked up my back and hips so bad in my early to mid 20s before I realized it was the chair that was the problem.
>>100125028Stop crossing your legs then faggot. Why get an ergonomic chair and then sperg out over muh comfort? Train yourself to stop doing stupid shit like crossing your legs and it's the most comfortable chair in the world.
>>100105332what's the reason vergil chooses this chair?
>>100125714combined with cheap booze, this chair grants power beyond imagining
>>100121933check if theres an adjustment mechanism somewhere under the seat. its not always present, but ive seen it in a decent amount of chairs.
>>100125688Why would I do that when I could just use my Leap v1 and sit the way I want to?
>>100103431go to a chair shop
>>100103431tl;drhave you tried not being fat?
>>100111439>>100111447>>100111469Post floor setups, please.
>>100103431Go for a fucking run lard arse
>>100122087kek is that moot?
Bump for Hbada they launched the updated E3 Pro check it out
>>100125028Agreed. The bar across the back also hit right along my shoulder blades and was very uncomfortable to lean back on for extended periods.

>>100104480wtf.Theres at least 5cm each side between my thighs and the armrests of my markus.
>bought a 400 bucks Humanscale>it's shit and make my back hurtsI have an old cheap one that's not bad but the armrest are way too low, looked at some arm pad with adjustable height but they're like 40 bucksAnd I can't install another armrest as the base isn't thick enough so the screws might go through (original are screwed on the sideIt sucksIs there ANY good and cheap (300€ max) chair that doesn't squeak after 2 weeks of use? Bought a Sihoo for 200 bucks but it started squeaking too much and sold it for 100
>>100124992>plastic lip around the outside of the bottom cushionI hate those
>>100103431I tried that "ergonomic" chair that has this weird design, basically like a spider web with a purple cushionand you know what, I actually like it a lotgreat for workingbut not that good for gaming, at least for me
>>100132747this one bros, it's called sayllooks weird, but oddly comfyyou can basically just lay on the net like on a hammock
>>100132828also, broswtf are all these levers forespecially the one that's like a pedal on the left
I got a Haworth Fern digital knit, I like it a lot
i need a garden chair with some kind of laptop supporti want to comfymax my garden wfh setup
>>100125563I had a wooden one that did the same over about a decade of use, to the point that I had bulging discs so bad that I couldn't sit for more than 20-30 minutes at a time, constant pain, poor sleep, mobility issues, etc.I ended up getting an Embody and hated it for like two month before I dialed it in, which felt pretty awkward and uncomfortable. A year later, I can sit literally all day, and my back is close to being healed.Once I adjusted to it and broke it in (about 6 months), it stopped feeling uncomfy, and now it really feels like someone made it specifically for me to fix my life.>>100103600you know why right
Exercise and chairs will feel better.Your muscles should be holding you up, you cant expect a device to hold all your rolls.
For me the key is getting a chair that can let you move and adjust the armrests and everything else a lot. Theres no ONE position that will be comfortable for a long time so you need to be able to switch it up.For me the Kinnarp armrests have been a godsend, you can shift them up and down, forward, tilt them, etc. which lets you sit up or move away and so on. I cant ever go back to static armrests.
>>100103431>There atleast has to be 1 fucking comfortable chair.I have three key requirements in a chair: seat base goes high enough, back isn't too far forward, and lumbar support is in the right spot.I hate the chairs at work. They're all made for hunchback midgets.
I don't know anymore.I'm reluctant to buy a new chair because I don't know what'd be good and I don't get the chance to go to a place where I can test a bunch of these.I bought a refurbished humanscale freedom and I think it was honestly a mistake after using it for over a year. I wanted an all rounder chair I can use for some work and for just laying down and enjoying shit. All I see is expensive ergo chairs that don't seem all that comfortable just so your back doesn't break as quickly, cheaper variations of these that last a year or two and gaymen chairs. The chair I found most comfortable, but probably not good, was a cheaper markus clone.
I have a Ikea Markus and fuck the sides of the chair digs into my shoulderblades if i dont sit completely straight.>>100135533Same here. Fuck. Everyone just keeps saying "buy this buy this". Everyone is saying to buy some chair for 1000+ dollars. Apparently a sub 1000 dollar chair isnt comfortable? For fucks sake. These people only care about marketing these super expensive chairs
all chairs suck ass.
>>100136735Lol i wish
>>100104480>its pretty comfy but the metal bars supporting the armrests dig into my thighs when i sit cross legged which can hurt.That's why I unscrewed mine years ago.The chair loses no stability when doing so.I'm on my second Markus, currently peaking at 170 kg / 375 lbs body weight.>>100103431I'm convinced that your best bet is a car seat. My small town with <100k people has two junk yards. I visited one and got an old Volkswagen seat for $30 (for a sim rig I built). Either visit or phone up one of your local yards and ask if that would be a possibility. If it's a large one you might even be allowed to just stroll around and select one yourself. It's not complicated, they are usually just held in place by four bolts. The only complication is if they have airbags or heating. In that case there will be one battery connector somewhere under the chair. Either make sure the car hasn't had a battery for a couple of hours or ask one of the dudes to get it for you for a couple of bucks. Once it's out you can cut off the chords since they'll just get in the way. If it's dusty, take it to a carwash place that has vacuums for you to use, give it a few smacks, vacuum it and give it a Vanish oxi action treatment at home, that should be overkill enough. You can use the rails to bolt it to some aluminum profile and build a base yourself if you want to put it on some wheels. There are heavy duty rolls on amazon for like $15 that support 100 kg per wheel and also have brakes to stop rotation or unwanted drifting. Once you have your square aluminum base, you can elevate it further with a simple dyi wooden construction or just use more aluminum profiles (most commonly used L I-type groove 8?).Extremely cheap, extremely comfortable, if you get something like a Ford seat or similar. You'll have to invest some of your time however. Pic related but I'd put more effort in, if it was mine.
Use a recliner or sofa and build your own table since you likely won't find anything with a fitting height. Could also add a bit of custom inclination to it as well.
>>100137269Stage 3 of giving up would be to just stay in bed like a corpse. Good luck.
Ergonomic chairs are a literal scam. Just go to the gym and fucking train your back you stupid piece of shit! You could sit on any chair for 10 hours straight without having back problems if you would just train your back like a sane person, simple as
>>100137269Now THAT is a goonstation
Imagine paying hundreds of dollars for a chair when pic related just works
take the floor pill
>>100137288ok poor fag
>>100138013Good morning sir, I sit on the floor when I write the jawa coding. Kindly revert back.
>>100138013This. A cushioned floor is the most elite and versatile form of sitting down.
>>100103431I got my first Aeron at a startup in the mid 90s and have had my ass on one ever since. I have 2 at home. They are based.
>>100104057>>100118358whats the actual diff between these versions
>>100103431>come home, white man.
>>100108792lmao its not even wood
>>100142935the ultiamte is their actual purple material, the other 2 are just gel shit, i think double is thicker than the royal?I have their 1" gel it works for my aeron
>>100142935>>100142959nvm
>>100103431No.I'm currently using my computer laying on my bed, sideways, with my 50 inch plasma 1.5m distant from me.I had to get, like 12 cushions and pillows for this to work, plus a 10cm topper and a 7cm topper over it, but once set up it's like using the computer from a cloud.
>>100136362It's not about comfort. Hell it's not about ergonomics either. It's about durability basically. There are $300 chairs that are more than appropriate and have as many adjustments as anyone would need, but you won't keep them around for 20 years. Of course there's exceptions and you'll find >$1000 chairs that are also prone to last less than half that because everyone's a cuck now and will gladly pay that amount of money for something that doesn't last.Well of course there's also if you're a fat fuck the cheap chairs will last even less. I've been a lard (110kg, now at 65kg) and they wouldn't last too long.
I was thinking, why not just float?Why sit? Just use your computer while floating. You don't have to stand or sit all the time.
>>100104905"Under 300" could be anywhere between 299 and 0, the way you phrased it makes it sound like it's a lot closer to the former.
