r/gamingchairs

Hello,
I know some like to grind for hours and i was wonering what type of chair you have, and could i get the reference.
Currently i want to buy a new chair cause i cant grind for more than an hour with bad pain. But its so hard to find genuine review on internet…
I have a budget of 250-300€

Hi guys, im new to reddit, always thought about asking something but never did so here i am.

I know this question has been asket A LOT especially years ago when the market was booming, but my chair is now dust and i have to change it.

I know ppl love herman miller or steelcase but i dont have that kind of money :(.

My budget is around 400ish max 500 if its rlly the bbbbest.

As of right now im considering buying the corsair tc500 luxe bc its large i can move a bit in it, and it looks more stable to use idk with a pillow than it would be on an ergonomic but idk, there is not many reviews on it, ppl say its amazing but still, i want to make sure im not missing out any better deals.

If you guys have some raccomendation i would be so gratefull!! Thanks

starting to realize my current chair is probably destroying my back slowly

looked fine at first but after a few hours of gaming/work my lower back is basically begging for help lol

been looking at gaming chairs but honestly a lot of them seem more focused on “looking cool” than being comfortable

what chairs are people genuinely happy sitting in for hours??

Looking to get a new chair and thinking about the blacklyte kraken pro, the only thing I’m concerned about is the leather and how long it’ll last. Will it start cracking after a few years or hold its form?

I paid premium money for the Blacklyte Kraken Pro and expected premium quality and customer service. Unfortunately, my experience has been frustrating from the very beginning.

When the chair arrived, I genuinely believed parts were missing because one side of the backrest had no rail while the other side did. The assembly instructions were also confusing, the lever position did not match the documentation, and the included screwdriver setup added even more frustration during assembly.

What made the situation worse was the initial response I received from Mary, which came across as rude and dismissive rather than understanding and professional. When customers spend this kind of money on a premium chair, they expect support that reflects the premium branding of the company.

After finally putting the chair together, I discovered the chair has noticeable left-to-right wobble. Even after tightening everything properly, the chair still shifts enough that it genuinely feels unstable when sitting in it. I sent Blacklyte a video showing the issue, and instead of offering a meaningful resolution, I was told by their QC department that this amount of movement is “completely normal” due to the chair’s “Frog Mechanism” design.

What disappointed me even more was that throughout the process, I was repeatedly asked to revise or update my review after being offered a small $40 refund. To me, that refund does not come close to matching the premium price of this chair or the overall experience I had.

To be fair, Stella’s communication itself was professional and polite. However, the overall handling of the situation left me feeling dismissed rather than genuinely helped. A premium gaming chair should inspire confidence and stability, not make the customer question whether the chair is functioning correctly every time they sit down.

At this price point, I simply expected far better quality control, better assembly documentation, and a more customer-focused resolution process.

Hey guys. Just need some recs on a genuinely comfortable long lasting chair, height adjustable preferably because im short. I get a lot of lowe back and pelvic pain when sitting for long periods and my current office chair has no padding left after about a year. I do a fair bit of gaming and just sitting at my desk in general for my hobbies and stuff and its killing me at the moment.

However ive heard a lot of people say that gaming chairs are trash and are generally just a cash grab and dont last long. So any good recs with some info are welcome.

I recently started gaming, and I have been spending a lot of time on it lately. I am into really immersive games like RPG’s and story-driven narratives, Disco Elysium. 

For newbies like me, this is like a whole new world. I have grown fond of it, and I would want to go down that road and explore more games. But I recently noticed that my body is paying because I get tired awkwardly after a long gaming session.

I decided to make myself comfortable, and that’s when I started looking for a good gaming chair. I have tried to look at Alibaba and visited local stores. But I don’t know which chair would be good for me. 

I came across some chairs branded as ergonomic. I also don’t know much about these chairs, and I wonder whether gamers use these too. The specifications were also a bit confusing for me because I don’t understand the jargon.

Hi, im looking for a Gaming/Office Chair.

Im 1.98m Tall, 80kg and im looking for a Chair that has a movable Backrest so u can kinda lay down. Armrest should be movable(my last ones where way to high). And the Headrest should be minimal (last one was so low it was on shoulder hight and sticking out). If anyone has a chair like that or any Idea feel free to give me a recommendation. (sorry for my english) If Possible a chair that doesnt cost as much as a Car.

i'm roughly 5"11 60kg and i want to get a chair thats right for me but i kinda sit really funny and cant sit like the ordinary person my legs are always up on my chair or knees are up and im not sure what kind of chair would be best for me? a lot of the ergonomic ones look wickedly uncomfortable!!! the best thing i've seen so far is the titan evo but im not sureee

I've been looking for a chair for over a year now and recently found this one.

I can't find any video reviews but I have been able to find people on reddit say that it's an amazing chair just horrible customer service

Hi I posted this on another Reddit post but I’m making it here too to get some attention.

I need help, I have an old chair with basically no cushion. I’ve tried over and over and I keep finding these chairs with arm rests that are flat and look incredibly uncomfortable, I put my elbows on my arm rests like one should but they hurt and so I need some recommendations from people for a chair that good for your back AND your elbows that hopefully won’t break my wallet

I got a AKRacing gaming chair (a hand me down from a friend) and I want to put one of those arm rest mounted mouse trays on it.

I went on the chair's manufacturer website but they don't sell any rhink like that and all the ones I see in Amazon are attached with velcro straps or zip ties, which dosen't sound very sturdy

Is there a better way?

Thanks!
