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!

Do not buy a “gaming chair”. They’re a scam meant to take money from suckers. Whatever your budget is, you can find an ergonomic actual office chair meant for sitting that will vastly outperform a “gaming chair” in every conceivable metric that’s important to a chair

I’ve used ergonomic chairs before that absolutely destroyed my back. I think it comes down to finding a good brand and a high quality product, regardless of the style of chair.
