Don't get a gaming chair. Most of them aren't very good, and even if you find one for your budget I doubt it'll be decent. Just go to Staples or something and find a decent office chair.

I would recommend the IKEA Markus, I got mine for 90 euros.

Regular price is 160 euros, it was on sale for 100 euros and you got an extra 10% off with the IKEA customer card thing.

 

Of course it's very unfair to name that chair when its regular price is not within your stated budget, but even at 160 euros it would be a great deal, as it's a very comfy chair (IMO, of course go try it out before getting it).

I would have to agree, i feel like trying to buy a gaming chair is pointless. Most arent half decent but if you are dead set on a gaming chair just search amazon, they have gaming chairs that are under 100 but it all be about personal preference.

IKEA chairs are the way to go, cheap, comfy and long lasting. I've been using the Milberget for a year and it's still perfect.

 

Only one problem, a lot of dirt tends to get stuck on the wheels, particularly dog hairs. A gaming chair would probably be no different.

I'm in the same boat :) been wanting to find a decent chair with a high back  as well, but I don't want a "gaming" chair.  (Also my budget is a good bit over $100, cause I want something that's good quality and is gonna last a long time, like decades, not a year or 3.)

 

I just haven't been able to find what I want though.  I want the high back like gaming chairs have, and I want the ability to lean back / recline - which means I do *NOT* want the armrest to be permanently attached to the seat and the back like a lot of office chairs I see.  Also I do NOT want the design where the sides of the chair stick out a bit, like a racecar seat. :(  (Oh, and if I lean all the way back flat (as in, me being practically horizontal) and recline with my weight somewhat back in the chair, I don't want my 220 or 225 pounds (or is it 100 kilos) to tip the chair over backwards.)

 

I had thought of going with like Maxnomic, but I'm not so sure now, even the ones like Linus uses still have those dang stickout edges.  Not as bad as like dxracer, but it's still too much for me.

 

For now I'm just using a folding chair.

 

Looked up that Ikea Markus, it's listed as $229 US for me - way over the OP's price range, but probably within mine.  (I wouldn't personally go for that chair though, I don't think.)

 

Also the Milberget would be an absolute no-go for me - the way the armrest is attached means it can't recline *at all*, and full 90°+ (from straight up to horizontal) is a requirement for me.
