Get a nice office chair instead. They're actually designed to be sat on.
Which chair would you suggest?
you can even order your own custom ones... but you have to order like several thousand of them. :P
How much do you want to spend?
Good chairs can get very, very spendy. Herman Miller is a brand that gets tossed around a lot as a known, quality chair, but you'll be looking at $1000+. I'm currently sitting on a $250 Serta leather executive chair. Budget, but it's held up over the years and the seat hasn't flattened like some of the really cheap chairs you can buy.
Here's an excellent option[www.amazon.com] that's not Herman Miller expensive, nor is it dirt cheap. Just a nice, all around, quality, comfortable chair that you won't be cursing at later.
Here is my chair.[www.amazon.com] I think I've had it for about four years now. It's really held up well besides some minor and expected wear on the arm rests, and I haven't had any complaints.
Edit: Actually, my chair is slightly different. I can lift and put away the arm rests on mine. Besides that, it's very, very similar though.
better than the cheaper chairs that only last a couple months, but then again a pillow costs like $20.
These "gamer chairs" grew out of bucket seats made for home-driving-sim setups. Go on youtube, watch some videos, buy a normal chair.
also PU leather is fake leather and the faux leather one will also be using PU, or polyurethane. It makes a passable leather substitute but has far less durability than actual leather.
I am looking for something around $150.
I already have a gtracing chair and I like it for the most part. These chairs are going to be cheaper and have the curved armrest which I believe will be an improvement over my current flat ones.
Hmm, in that case -- This[www.amazon.com] looks like a decent option, or at least a better option than any $150 "gaming" chair. I think the biggest risk with a cheaper chair like that is the memory foam in the seat going flat sooner rather than later.
If you can scrape together just a little bit more cash, this one[www.amazon.com] has a mesh seat, so you won't have to worry about it going flat and you also will avoid having to deal with troublesome summer-time butt sweat.
I don't know about curved arm rests. I prefer a stable surface to rest my elbows on when I'm gaming, but you do you.
Thank you for your advice.
