Gaming Chair - Worth the price?

Hi all,

I have owned an executive leather chair for 10 years which I purchased for £85. It's got to a stage where it now needs replacing and I am contemplating a gaming chair.

Are they really worth the price compared to me just purchasing a new executive leather chair?

I've been looking at GT Omega and Vertagear S Line.

I'm not sure what to look for though in a gaming chair so any advice or article links would be appreciated

A lot of leather gaming chairs don't use real leather. Repeated use of fake leather causes it to chip and peel and makes the chair look tacky IMO.
I would recommend a chair that offers good back support. If you are sitting for an extended period of time having good support for your back does pay off in the long run.

I purchased this in April; is comfy to use for extended gaming sessions and my back does not get sore (unless I'm slouching lol)
Also the mesh is breathable so no smelly BO when I stand up compared to leather which is quite insulating of heat.

Hope this helps.

Got the noble epic, not the leather one though. One of the comfiest desk chairs I've ever used. Can't recommend it enough!

Hi guys, I took advantage of black friday sales and purchased a GT Omega Pro XL. I nearly went for the Vertagear but it was priced higher than the GT Omega in the sale.
