hello there. my office/gaming chair broke recently. i believe the piston broke.

 

my chair lasted me for 4 years but finally gave up(crushed lol) but it did leave my back wet.

 

can anyone recommend a chair that will handle a heavy load and have a breathable material?

 

thank you for the help!!!

they are pricey but im using a hermanmiller chair, they can support up to about 24 stones(around 150kg). They are nice and customizable. I like it.

Check out the Wellzer.  It is kind of pricey right now, I picked one up while it was on sale for a cool $120.  I am 5'9, 150lb so very average male build and absolutely love this chair.  I spend a ton of time in this chair, 5+ hours a day and experience no discomfort.  I think the no discomfort part comes mostly from the angle locking mechanism, I refuse to buy a chair in the future that cannot angle lock.  I paired the chair with an Under Desk Foot Rest and its the best.  Being in a reclined position, yet having your feet resting at the same time is the only way to sit for extended periods of time.

I have been using the same chair for the last 8 years, it has no specific brand and it was custom made on a local shop, it's freakin awesome, sturdy, super confortable and ergonomic and it was made to last a lifetime. Expensive has f*ºk though (around 400€) - at least i never had back pain again from long working/gaming sessions.

Is your broken chair still in decent shape? If so you can easily replace the pneumatic hydraulic gas piston lift... Replacements are cheap and easy to do.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Users cannot, and will not securely manage key material. Most users can't and the ones that can, wont.

Ask me about Bitcoin, Litecoin, Crypto-Currencies, and/or Mining them.

Ergonomy master race.
