Chair recommendations

Rcmaniac98

Has anyone got any recommendations for pc chairs. I am looking to get a new chair for playing games and watching videos on my pc. The chair needs to:
1) be comfortable for long periods of time.
2) have armrests (preferably height adjustable)
3) be no more than 58cm (22.75 inches) wide.

DXRacer D-Series or M-Series chair.    I own an OH/MY07/N since the end of july and its been the best thing I've bought for my PC setup.  I can sit for 8+hours and not get fatigued.

 

Keep in mind that any of the gaming racing chairs are luxury goods and are price as such.

 

 

Mileage may very greatly when going to Officemax/depot or costco for a chair.  most are not made for long sitting.  meaning 8+ hours.

 

Better buy one really good chair then buy cheap ones ever year or two for $100-$150 everyone wants to spend.

Thanks for all the recommendations so far but all of these are too wide given that my max width is 58cm(22.75 inches).

Hit up an office store or a Costco and try them out. I wouldn't even consider buying a chair without sitting in it first, unless the company has really great return policy.

I agree with this guy, a nice office chair is the way to go. I've never thought about checking craigslist for chairs and just found a leap for $185 near me, pretty sure I'm going to go buy it now... lol. I admit I've never sat in one of those gaming chairs, but I highly doubt they are as good as a proper office chair. With the gaming chairs you are buying the flashy looks and name, maybe a bit of quality, but that is it. Buying from Hon/Steelcase/etc. you are buying tried and true designs that millions sit in every single day for many years, if/when the chair breaks you get it fixed rather than tossing it and buying a new one. The high end office chairs will last you 10 years easy, very likely it will last longer than that... or you can buy a $150 chair you replace every few years, while having back aches.
