I need a new Gaming chair

 

the chair i use atm is a cheap office chair and it's starting to hurt the padding on it is that bad, i sit on wood, the Foam is squished to the thickness of paper

i basically cant game now, its too painful, i'm actually using the pillow from my bed to sit on, its that hard

 

Please recommend a gaming chair, my budget i no more than 400AUD

Don't get a gamer chair, they are mostly just bling. Get a proper, ergonomic office chair that supports an upright, healthy sitting position. Your back will thank me later.

The chair you linked me has a mesh back

 

Ouch, I'm a heavy long period gamer

i need comfort and padding

 

Record is 17 Hours straight ( With toilet breaks)

I can tell you that mesh is the way to go. There is a reason alot of high end office chairs use it.

I have one of these AERONFRONTLARGE.jpg

 

They retail for about 800-1000 USD new and I can tell yu they hold you nicely and unlike foam they dont give out as you found out, infact alot of high end chairs avoid foam for that very reason, im fairly confident in saying if you have a foam chair that's going to happen at some point..and if you are spending that long in the chair you are better off without it since its going to wear to nothing sooner then later.

Yeah but i don't like Mesh, i cant stand an unpadded seat

i would rather remove my car seat and use that over a mesh seat

17 hours is not even much. I didn't link you anything and i don't even know what to link you to, because what i would suggest to do is go into a designated office chair boutique and try out some chairs. Most office chairs look very underwhelming, but some (especially the expensive ones) have a lot of thought put into them.

who cares...

This really depends on your preference, if you really want a gaming chair, get a gaming chair.  If you want a mesh chair, get a mesh chair.  Also, a lot of the mesh chairs will be well over 400AUD...
