we all have a comfort chair, tell me I'm wrong

There is nothing I find more infuriating than desk chairs that are designed to look like race car bucket seats. Fake bolsters and fake racing harness holes will not make you game any better. It’s just tacky shit for people who don’t know any better.

Gamer chairs suck, do yourself a favor and just get a proper office chair. I have a Steelcase Leap V2 at home with extra big caster wheels and it's great.

Love my Herman Miller aeron (sp?) that I use for gaming. My all day gaming sessions are behind me these days but when I did them I could sit for hours and be comfortable in it. Got it used for $125. Worth every penny.

I mean the similarity is not a coincidence. Gaming chairs are modeled after racing seats which are five point harnesses designed to keep the occupant safe in a car crash... exactly like toddler car seats.

I can see a use for actual racing seats in racing games to enhance the immersion. The faux racing gaming chairs took off because some chair company sponsored streamers. Streamers like them because they're something to look at on stream rather than a bland office chair. For everyone else a bland office chair is way better.

Interesting fact, gaming chairs often have less ergonomic support and less adjustability than office chairs, making them inferior for sitting relative to office chairs.

i feel like i'm in the minority here but i much prefer office chairs that don't have a reclining back. i need something i can press my whole back into for proper support and a reclining back is often a point of failure.

POV: you're a neural network and you just figured out how to classify "seat".

Good toddler car seats have cup holders.

I'm glad my gamer chair will help absorb that 70mph impact from drunken Ted on his way home from the bar. That being said, the two chairs probably smell similarly.

You hold babies because they are unable to spell. I hold babies because they refuse too. We are not the same.

Any suggestions on decent chairs? I'm in the market for two chairs for my wife and son doing grad school and college from home.

Everyone says they get aerons or steelcase leaps cheap but in central Texas the best I've seen are 400-600 and at least an hour drive each way. That's still kind of steep for me (especially given the two household members in university right now)

Toddler car seats actually have good lumbar support though.

I had that chair. It's fucking terrible. My back has never been so sore

I have a gaming chair, but I have to put a Mexican blanket over it because I sweat a lot if I just sit directly on the fake leather.

well those gaming chairs are definitely not comfort chairs, that's for sure

These chairs are such bullshit. Anyone that has one is a toddler indeed.

I WISH gaming chairs offered even half that support!

Yeah I dont know if toddlers like their car seat though. My niece and nephew hate getting in them.

The main difference between them is that far more research goes into carseats than gamer chairs.

I like my Herman Miller chair, my kids do not like there car seats.

My comfort chair is a wooden chair that i also use for gaming

honestly I have a secret lab titan and i'm really happy with it, even if it is a car seat

Noooooo, Car seats are actually comfortable.

Btw, is Herman Miller chairs really that good? Or is it the branding and history that makes all of us think they are good, but in reality they are just meh, average, or slightly above average?

I have one, but it's not very comfortable.

does a wooden chair count

My computer chair doesn't rotate or rock. It's fame is thick solid steel. I helped make it. The seat is nice and wide too.
