Looking For Chair

[gloop]

Hey all,

 

I'm finally upgrading from my crappy Ikea chair and am looking for a new chair to replace it.

 

Requirements:

 - Ergonomic

 - Has headrest

 - Preferably Black in colour

 - Between £200-250

 

I had been looking at some SecretLab chairs, but they are slightly out of my budget and I'm not sure of their quality, ergonomics, etc.

 

Thanks in Advance!

there is dxracer if you want. there are some that have headrests for like 6 euro over budget

Have you considered a BeautyRest? They are office-style (so, non-gamer design), but they come in solid black and dark grey, and look really great and are exceptionally sturdy.  I just replaced my last BeautyRest (which served me for over 15 years!) with a new one for less than ~$300.  Something like in this family.

Racer style or standard office looking mesh chair?

 

Edit: if racer style, I love mine from ewin gaming. Look for the one with 4d arm rests

Ergonomic chair is way higher than 250$, you can check jaytwocents for that matter. I use anda seat dark Knight. It's 220-270€ and i am really happy for my choice. I don't know if it's a global brand

Second hand Humanscale Freedom. Much comfier and better made than gaming chairs. Thirteen hundred quid a pop new but frequently available in eBay under £300.

That depends on the brand you go with.

Told you, anda seat it's a brand, and I use it for almost a year. For ergonomic chair, check jaytwocents video, he analyse it

other than Herman Miller for a quarter of the price.

Or, as mentioned before, you can go with a refurbished one. Most of the companies reupholster so it's not even like you'll be sitting on someone else's gonad sweat.

 

The seller I bought my Humanscale from had Aerons and Mirra 2s at around £250. Not sure what the rules are on linking but happy to send a PM with their website, they're also UK based. Mine came in 3 days and is absolutely mint except for some very minor scratches on the legs.

Ideally you'd also check out a few OTHER alternatives as well

Yeah this is a great suggestion, though understandably difficult given current circumstances. I know some people who hate stuff like Aerons, and from my perspective I much prefer the Humanscale Freedom especially from the perspective of the headrest design. If you want an off-the-shelf headrest option then I would also look at:

• Autonomous ErgoChair
• inSync 24 Hour
• Eurotech Ergohuman

AVOID "gaming chairs"

Couldn't agree more, they're absolute trash for the most part and ridiculously overpriced for the generally piss-poor quality of materials and construction.
