Fabric chairs

MouthBoy · 8 May 2020 at 19:16

Anyone know of any chairs that are fabric based rather than leather? I know of the nitroconcept ones which do look good to me, but wondered about any others from reputable companies?

I have never got on with leather for an office chair but it seems to dominate the 'gaming chair' market. I am looking at gaming chairs this time round as my last few chairs that are just desk/office chairs have not been that comfortable after a few months. Hoping a gaming chair may be better?

Since OP I have actually seen the Nobelchair Icon series and, yes it is leather, but it actually looks rather comfortable. Doubt they do a fabric one though.

I will check out secret lab. Thanks

Leather furniture is better coz dust mites dont live in it.

It's just stiff though, and cold, but too hot in the summer...

Just been looking on 2ndhnd.com. I cannot fathom why some chairs state they were over a thousand when they look really cheap.

So difficult not being able to test them out. I miss Staples at times like theses.

I'm very happy with my Steelcase from 2ndhnd.com. The money goes into the engineering, rather than gamer aesthetics.

Not really a fan of the gamer aesthetics, but open to them if the chair feels right. Looking more at the icon it seems to tick all the boxes at the moment.

Nitro Concepts S300 is fabric too if you wanted something more affordable.

Yea this is the first one I started to look at. This, the secretlab and the Nobelchair Icon are now contenders. I am also still looking at non-gamer options but they all seem so corporate and uncomfortable.

I ended up having this over a Noblechairs Hero.

Bought the Hero, sent it back after trying to get used to it for 4 days. I was told it would go softer on forums.

Just much preferred sitting in the s300 fabric and kept it since.

I am still weighing up options and choices. The Nobelchairs are about £100 more than the S300 but are they £100 better?

Thanks for that review. I am leaning towards the nitroconcept I think. Looking around though, no one has any stock for at least a month which is a shame.

I've been impulsive for once and bit the bullet on the S300 Camo via Overclockers - £219 seemed like a decent deal. Will let you know how i find it

Please do. I do not like the camo design to be honest, but am liking the chair. As I have said before I am not into the gamer looks but of it's a good chair then I can live with them.

Just ordered the Nobelchair Icon. OcUK give a month to see if it works for you so if not I can just return it. I will let you know my thoughts.

I dont know about the others in the range but the icon is a really uncomfortable chair
switched to a secret lab titan fabric chair now and its a big improvement, particularly the built in lumbar support that wont slip out of place like the pillow you have for most chairs

I am not a big broad shouldered guy, and I currently use a pillow behind my back already which I am used too. I will see how I get on. I may hate it, you never know.

@Jakstaar2007 how are you getting on with the chair?

I must say that my Herman Miller Mirra 2 chair lets farts through very comfortably & allows them to engulf the room fairly quickly for almost immediate appreciation.

Well if my icon has an issue and I want to replace it at the same cost, I will still be quids in against your chair...athough fart absorption I think should be a benchmark moving forward.
