Why is this type of chair so hard to find?
Due to a couple of herniated discs I've been struggling with low back pain during long gaming sessions. I've tried every conventional solution: standing desks, lumbar supports, etc (and please, don't start with the "exercise more" mantra. I'm a veteran weight-lifter, I do yoga on my off-days and and I've been working on my back extensions for more than a decade).
Because nothing seems to work, I have reached the conclusion that I'm only ever going to be pain-free by gaming HORIZONTALLY.
So I've been looking for a recliner chair that would fit taller users (I'm 190cm), and I've quickly ran into a wall: there seems to be virtually NO recliners out there, that have VERTICALLY TILTING armrests.
What I mean is: in 99% of office chairs, when you recline backwards, the armrests tilt upwards with you (which makes it functionally impossible to use the mouse and keyboard on your desk). I need a recliner with independent armrests that can stay flush with the desk surface AFTER tilting backwards.
It seems the only options out there are either:
1- Monstrously expensive metal contraptions you would see in a BDSM dungeon (like the Levo Zero Gravity Workstation).
2- DIY set-ups which look very time-consuming and trial-and-error to build.
3- Lap boards meant for couch+TV or couch+laptop setups (like the CYCON couch master).
HOW is it possible that with entire generations of aging gamers/programmers/remote workers, not a single brand out there has noticed this massive gap in the market? They could make a fortune.
