Which computer chair do you use? Needs to be poopsock viable

While completely useless as advise, when my father in law died I took his very expensive computer chair and it's pretty good.

I'm in the same boat. I bought two Aerons for peanuts back when the first bubble burst in Atlanta pre-2k, but they didn't last forever. Pretty sure desk chairs follow a simple rule of "cheap / comfortable / durable -- PICK TWO" as nothing I've tried since has worked out for very long. Best advice I can give is look at some of the chairs used by streamers who do their thing for a lot more than 40 hours a week. I doubt you're going to find any of them for ~$150, and the ones who are really popular probably have chairs that cost even more than a Herman Miller at retail price due to being sponsored, but there's got to be some out there who have to buy their own chairs and don't want crippling back pain from their "job". Downside there is most of them seem to use chairs that look like they were ripped out of a riced-up Honda Civic, so if being gaudy as hell is a deal-breaker I'm all out of ideas.

Edit: This is what I currently use: Berkley Jensen Deluxe Mesh Chair - Gray - BJs WholeSale Club ... I won't even try to compare it to an actual Aeron, but so far it has lasted almost a year without any rips or breaks in the mesh (despite my cat's best efforts) and I don't have any issues with the back support. There's something "off" about where my thighs are supported by the front edge though, and it starts to get pretty uncomfortable after an hour or two.

I literally just ordered this one yesterday.


Not sure how it will be, but i'm sick of cheap chairs.

I'll let you know when it arrives how it feels.

A lot of streamers use the Herman Miller chairs. They are expensive as fuck tho. They do have 12 year warranties.

Uncle Noodleface might have some good input?

I have the secretlab Titan and it's very good

I bought an Aeron last week. It ships June 13th thanks to Corona.

I'll probably forget I even ordered it before it arrives.

Yea I'm not opposed to dropping cash on a good chair at this point, it's just so hard to wade through the endless sea of stupid looking GAMER chairs that probably all come from the same shitty factory in China.

Aerons for years have been lauded as the best, so maybe I'll just try and scrape one off craigslist or something.

I'm using a herman miller mirra2. It is the creme de la creme of chairs and has a price tag to match. Luckily I paid $0 as I took it from an office which was shutting down. Their warranty is indeed amazing, I've had a warranty repair done on it even though I got the chair for free.

We used Herman Millers in my office in the USAF. Amazing chairs when you're sitting there for 12 hours a pop. When I feel like spending $1k on a chair, that's what I will get.

You see, this is why I love this place. I come here for MMO nostalgia and general abuse and end up finding beautiful shit to blow my money on.
