Need Better Chair

[MountainPro]

Hey guys so I have been using the same old office chair for over two years now and am begging to get back problems and of issues due to its lack of support. I am looking to get a great chair for comfort support and gaming. 

I saw Linus review of the Maxnomic Thunderbolt Red (the One I chose from the site) and was wondering what you guys thought and would sugest for good chairs.

 

Budget= Under $400 Not including shipping

 

Must be: Comfortable, and supportive

 

Thank you all for the help!

God I would love a new chair as well. Been using one my dad "borrowed" from a former workplace, they had like, 5 extra chairs they weren't using. Supposedly an "executive" level chair, but I can honestly say, if I was banging my secretary this chair would be disappointing lol

I know that feels bro. This one was nice to begin with, but now the foam has collapsed and the "leather" is falling apart.

 

Also the plastic armrests have given me horrible problems with my elbows. Not quite rashes, but definitely dry skin problems of some sort.

"Chairmark...?"

 

"You can even sleep in it...alone."

 

"I was disappointed that this was not a sex chair."

 

This is why Linus rules!

Why do you need hardwood floor? Interesting innovation that has been around for... well.. like 50 years at least:

http://www.amazon.com/Flash-Furniture-MAT-CM11113FD-GG-36-Inch-Chairmat/dp/B005PGP0P4/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1414553452&sr=8-2&keywords=carpet+floor+mat

 

Floor mats Turns a chair sized section of carpet into a hard flat surface. FYI, even if you move to a house with a hardwood floor, you'd want to use a floor mat (they have different types for different kinds of floor surfaces) anyway, as assuming it's real hardwood, you DON'T want to add any unnecessary wear/scratches, etc.

But those cost so much money!

$30? And that's just the first one I found on Amazon. If you're gonna buy a $300+ chair, AND use it on potentially multi-thousand dollar hardwood flooring, I think you can afford to spend the $30 to protect your floor (plus it makes less annoying sounds, and makes rolling around easier).

 

Unless you're being sarcastic... in which case, well done (Sarcasm doesn't work on ze internet unless you're very forward about it, example a or etc)

You bought two of them for your FRIENDS house? Why? Does his house have more room then yours? If so, why can he not afford to buy his own chairs?

 

Just curious

Well, he have a spare room that he converted into a Majlis "guest room", and everyone started adding stuff to it. 

 

Server, desks, chairs, TV's, a pool. Well you get what I'm saying. That room holds more than 8 pc's, AC, and other appliances. 

 

Can't let one guy do all those stuff aye?

So it's basically a "Bachelors Pad", as we would say over here in North America, in the sense that it's a room for you and all your friends to have awesome hangouts, with lots of badass stuff?

Exactly. But some of them are married and nerdy as hell.  Basically no life LOL!
