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!

      The brand is just “Steelcase”. The Gesture is a specific model of chair. And I agree with everyone else here: after switching from el cheapo chair to my Gesture, my back pain (from sitting) completely went away.

          Yeah, the brand is Steelcase. The other big one is Herman Miller. I’ve used both extensively due to having a HM at work. Again, they are really expensive. Here in the US, you can at least find used millers for half price at a wholesaler.

          Yeah, that’s about right. They’re wickedly expensive. Definitely worth it though. You can often find them second hand or refurbished for a lot less.
