Ergonomic Chair recommendations

I’m looking for a comfortable ergonomic chair. I’m honestly tired of my gaming chair and want something that’s actually comfortable for long hours of sitting.
My budget is around $200–400 USD (about 4,000–8,000 MXN). Right now I’m considering either a SIHOO chair or one of the ergonomic chairs available on the web (I’ll attach the pictures below).
What would you recommend? I’d really appreciate any suggestions or personal experiences.

High arm rest office/gaming chairs

Everytime I buy a chair for my desk the arm rests are WAY to short!

I want to be able to sit up straight with back support but also rest at the least my elbows on an arm rest and reach my keyboard. I am 5”6’ and 205lb so not particularly tall but most of my hight seems to come from my torso I have been told by doctors that I have “very high set hips” which I assume is the polite was of saying I have short legs.

I play a lot of video game sat my desk such as slay the spire 2 and would like to be able to sit at my desk with a straight back and rest my arms.

The chair I currently have is the downinx crosslegged office chair (which is perfect in every way except the arm rests)

Any suggestions?

Looking for something to relax in.

For starters, I'm 6ft (182cm) and 223 lbs (101kg).

In the office I use a leap V2 and LOVE that thing for productivity. But I am looking for something else at home.

I want something that I can comfortably lay back on and watch a show or play a game with. I do use my home computer for productive tasks, but never anything more than like 45 minutes without getting up to do something, so I don't think I need the locked in super posture 9000 for 25 hours of working perfection. I currently kick my feet up on a cheap ikea side table, so I think I splurge for a rolling ottoman or something too.

I'm at my computer for a few hours at a time at most, I want something I can lounge in and watch a show comfortably, but still sit well enough to do some tasks.

What do you all think?

Good deal on Steelcase chair?

Hi everybody. Been searching marketplace last few weeks trying to find a used chair <$300. Just came across this and wondering if I should get it, seems like a great deal based off my little knowledge of reading on this reddit. I’m also curious if the leather might be too hot throughout the day for work from home. I currently have an extremely old chair with no support at all that needs to get replaced asap and this looks to be in good enough shape and a good brand. Let me know what you think. The model number on the tag is 34203 and price is listed at $170.

Office chair suggestions for big tall guy with leg pain?

TL;DR My husband needs an office chair. He’s a big dude over 6’ and on the heavy side. Needs one to help with leg and hip pain. Budget is flexible. Willing to pay more for the right chair.

We recently moved and my husband doesn’t have an office chair anymore. He’s also now fully remote and one of our hobbies is gaming. He can’t keep killing his legs with the crappy chairs we are currently using.

I want to get him a nice chair for his birthday. Likely an ergonomic one since those seemed to help his pain in the past. There used to be one he loved that a friend who remembers it swears it was a Herman Miller one but I swore that it had a meshy headrest and different meshy back than the ones he suggested.

How do I choose the best office chair when I can't try any of them?

I've been searching for my next office chair for about a month now, and I've failed to find one that completely satisfies me.

I've spent way too much time reading through this subreddit over the past few days, and I've realized I've reached a standstill.

I don't know which chair to choose because I'm not able to try any of the ones I'm considering. I live in Italy, and I'm more than three hours away from any major city where I might have the chance to try an Aeron at most of lucky.

These are the chairs I've been looking at the most (they're the ones most often recommended, and I can find them on eBay at a reasonable price as my budget is under 450/500):

- HM Aeron (or Embody)

- Steelcase Leap V2

- Steelcase Gesture

- RH Logic 400 (the one I preferring now as it's a bit cheaper and more easily available)

I definitely need a new chair since I spend 5–6 hours a day sitting at my desk, and I'm currently using a random kitchen chair.

I'm really hoping someone can help me make the right choice!

Thanks.

Refurbished vs New

When does it actually make sense to buy a new chair over a refurbished one?

At what price would a refurbished chair provide value?

I haven't previously bought a very good chair so kinda new to this and hence not planing to spend a lot.

Also what should one look while buying a refurbished chair and are there any trusted seller at a cheap price?

I'd buy this chair

So, I've had the same bungee cord chair for the last 17 years. I love this chair. I'm quite sedentary and have never had any pain while using it (not even my tush).

My only problem is that I like to sit with my legs crossed, thus I decided to switch to one of those criss-cross chairs several month ago... I'm so grateful that I kept my beloved bungee chair, because the new chair has been causing me to have an awful amount of back pain. I sit in my bungee chair bam! back feels so much better.

So, just saying, if anyone wants to start selling criss-cross bungee cord chairs, I'd be very grateful.

Libernovo omni pro

I am 6.1/178lbs, and I have been using the Embody for the last 5 years in my office. I am moving to a work-from-home setup and was thinking of getting an Embody for my home office
I came across the Libernovo through some Facebook ads, and upon research, the internet seems to be full of paid videos for this chair. Although all positive, it does come across as manufactured content

Wondering if there are real-world users who have been using the Omni Pro or SE

- I don't really care about the electronics, but is the support/fabric on the PRO worth the extra $$?
- The embody has been okay for me in terms of seat depth. Would the 48cm Omni Pro be fine, or should I wait for the 52cm maxis
- I am located in Canada , any idea if they have after-sales support at all

Got this HM mirra for 160$. Is this 1 or 2?

The seller initially sold it to me as mirra 2, but I was actually looking for a headrest. I found pictures that suggested this chair resembles mirra 1. Could you please confirm if it’s indeed mirra 1? If it is, did I overpay for it? To be honest, the chair feels comfortable and there are no issues with it. I just hope I didn’t get scammed.

Aeron Classic vs Remastered

I’m looking to buy a used Aeron off of Facebook Marketplace or another used sight and looking for some advice. How big of a difference is there between the Classic (2004-2016) and the Remastered (2016-current)? I know they are supposed to last forever, but I’m just having a hard time spending $350-400 on a possibly 20ish year old chair. Someone talking me in or out of either option.

Should I buy this chair

I am looking for a budget friendly home office chair and this one looks really good. Should I buy it?

https://dreamsfurniturebd.com/dreams-ergonomic-boss-chair/ here is the link if you guys want to see the website. Different pages name it differently so can't just name it. My budget is 20k in Bangladesh. I have to sit 6 hour's on my chair everyday. I don't want something more comfortable for higher price. That's simple not possible.
