Black and inoffensive please. I like the look of the VG Sl4000/5000. Should be comfortable for long play sessions. I'm 5'10 13st if that makes any difference.

Thanks in advance.

As an owner of a SL-4000, it's an acquired seat. It has wings which can dig into your leg if you're not sitting correctly, and the padding is quite hard at first (normal for chairs but I felt the 4000 was rather solid).
A few months of use and it's nice and soft now, best seat I've ever owned.

So if you can get through the early period.... it's a fantastic seat!
 
I'd consider a refurbished office chair. Steelcase's the Leap V1 or V2 are very good and plentiful from office refurbishments for around £200. If you prefer the gamer aesthetic, then Noble is a solid choice, although I'm not a fan of gamer chairs; the bolsters limit movement, which i find more useful since my computer rarely, if ever, goes round bends at 120KMH. ;)
 
I just ordered a refurbished (new leather) Humanscale Freedom chair with headrest for the total of £242.10. Incredible that they are a grand from JL!

I'm expecting it to be lovely :p
 
Popped into Ikea the other day for an unrelated item and parked my backside in their Markus chair for a test. It was really really supporting and comfortable, a massive upgrade to what I currently use. I cannot compare to any other high end chair im afraid but if you have an Ikea nearby its certainly worth a test!
 
My sons have the Markus chairs in their bedrooms for a few years now, they tell me they are really comfortable to this day and they still look new.

For the price I am very impressed with the quality.
