Gaming chair

A 'Gaming' Chair is much like a 'Wedding' Chair, it's just a chair. With an extra £50-100 added on because of the name. Just buy a decent chair and paint go-faster stripes on it if you really, really must have a 'Gaming' chair.
Okay what I meant by gaming chair is that, I will probably spend a lot of time sitting on it during the day; it has to be a) comfortable and b) ergonomic

Then don't buy a 'Gaming Chair', they're the opposite of comfortable. Have a look a decent office/workstation desk chair.
Any suggestions on proven office chairs then?

Ikea Markus some seem to like, but would be worth trying yourself first.
Believe Staples have some proven chairs as well, might be worth running a search for previous chair threads.

I have a Markus and it's all right. Hasn't fallen apart yet. I actually prefer my simpler office chair. But yeah, at least it's easy to test one, just go to your local Ikea.

I've got a Markus, gives me a numb backside after a couple of hours, ok for the money though.
I hope you don't include DXRacer in that, That Markus you suggested is rubbish compared to a DXRacer, Curious to see what you call a "Gaming Chair", One of those £20 ones you get with the speakers and all that attached while you sit on the floor in a rocking position?

I got a DXRacer that is really good, better than i expected and has a tone of features
I bought one of those for £150 and couldn't get comfy on it, if your a bit tall the top of the chair, the hard plastic, kept sticking into my shoulders. Sent it back and got the Ikea markus and loving it

Like I say to people questioning "bucket seats" for their cars.
I slap them in the face and tell them to wake up.
They are not comfy, any of them. To sit in one for more than 10 minutes would put my derriere through its paces.
Go to a place that sells office furniture, sit in each and every one of the chairs they stock, purchase the nicest over cost.
12hr+ chairs are plenty available.

Get a second hand Steelcase Leap, or something similar and don't waste your money on these "gaming" chairs. Honestly all these chairs are the same, 3 parts, slap a bit of padding on it in a cool design and market it as gaming, or ergonomic. It's BS. For £100 you can get a used proper ergonomic chair.

Used Steelcase Leap V2
Lots of adjustments, comfortable and sorts your posture out.

I have one, I love everything about it other than it not having a head rest. Sadly there is nothing that comes close for the money.
