Computer Chair

I’m looking for suggestions on a good computer chair.
Under $800 AU
Prefer if the back was not mesh or leather.
Not too bothered by the looks, just has to be comfortable when playing games / watching things on the computer.

You didn’t ask a question in this regard specifically, but I recently listened to an orthopaedist about gaming and then also about the right kind of chairs and he said that ergonomically formed chairs are not that important, but you should have the following two features:

  • cushioned arm rest
  • head rest

Ofc, if you think some feature is more comfortable than some other that’s valid as well. But in my opinion, health is also always important.

Also, the right sitting position is:

  • legs at 110° (not 90°, to much strain on the knees)
  • arms at 90° at the elbow

However, shifting around and not staying in the same position is more important.

And most important of all: go outside, do sports :smiley:

Nevermind, should do my own googling If one has cushioned arm rests, is one supposed to keep ones elbows static on the rest, and move the hand at the mouse/keyboard?
I end up getting annoyed with the rests not fitting under a desk, and forcing me to use computer at arms reach…

Take everything with a grain of salt, keeping the same position 100% of the time is poison, even if it’s supposed to be healthy.

How about suggestions that are reliable and will last many years

Hii Joseph,
As you said that you want a computer chair to play games and to watch things. These activities are really time taking personally when i use to play game i spend 5 to 6 hours continuously on my PC just by sitting in my chair and i think you also have such fascination toward games. So for such long term activities you should have a good chair so that you could not feel discomfort while playing games and also good chair eliminates the problem arise due to bad posture such as lower back pain, back pain etc. SO in the end i would suggest you to go for any ergonomic chair so that you will feel comfort while doing anything on your computer and also do not suffer from any health problem.
