2025 home "office" / gaming chair

We’ve had a very similar thread about this a couple years ago, and I was posting this:

I haven’t used them (I got myself an HM), but from what I hear they are pretty good for the money.

Just do yourself a favour and do not buy a “gaming chair”, no matter what brand. First of all they come out of the same chinese factory anyway and secondly they are universally shit. I hear people saying “oh I sat down on it and it was comfortable”, which is true for the first couple months at maximum and then the cushioning breaks down and eventually you’re just sitting on the steel frame.

And I’m not just saying that because I’m biased, this is my experience. I bought a DXRacer a couple years ago. It was “OK” when I was only sitting on it for like 3-4h a day for evening gaming. But when I used it for homeoffice and had to sit on it for 8+h a day minimum, it broke down within a couple months.
The HermanMiller Embody I got is 2.5y old now, I’m sitting on it for the same time every day and it’s still like the first day.
