    Just don’t fall for those “gamer” chairs. They’re designed to look pretty, not to be comfortable.

      Most gamer chairs are fine but they’re overly expensive. My chair is just a high quality office chair I grabbed from a local store. Super comfy and relatively cheap.

        The issue is, yeah they’re comfortable, but they’re not comfortable in a good way for your body. You slouch and fuck your spine up. Also you look like a teenager, do you have a racecar bed too?

        It’s not just about comfort, it’s about it not messing up your back long-term.

        A bean bag is pretty comfy, but if you work in one 40h a week, your spine will be dust within a year.

        Unfortunately the best chairs are even more expensive than gaming chairs. As an example, Herman Miller’s Aeron has been rated as one of the best designed chairs for over 2 decades and costs over a grand. Imagine that with gamer tax added to it: basically no one would buy it. So they simply don’t make chairs of that quality level to sell to that target demographic, it would not make economic sense to.
