I bought a Vertager SL5000 about a month ago, I'm not a fan on the styling of a gaming chair at all BUT it promised to support me properly especially for long periods and have lots of adjustability. However so far I have found the absolute polar opposite to be true, after just 20mins in the chair my Coccyx feels uncomfortable then if I stand up it really bloody hurts for a few minutes while it recovers from whatever the chair is doing to it!
Obviously this is less than ideal but I'm not exactly sure what to do about it? At first I figured It would just be a case of getting used to the chair but I've probably spent on average about 2hrs a day in it for the past month and sometimes a lot more.
Worth noting that I get no issues in any other normal types of chair or different motorcycle seats or MTB saddles etc etc, the issue is just with this gaming chair (I've never tried any other gaming chairs though).
Vertagear are one of the better gaming chair manufacturers out there so I should really have to be putting some kind of weird cushion on it. I did choose the chair wisely based on my height and weight etc and other than the painful coccyx the back support and general adjustability is great. I have emailed Vertager but as yet have not heard back.
Any ideas?
This is the chair, and usually have the back almost 90° upright with both the lumbar pillow and head/neck pillow in place: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/vertagear-racing-series-s-line-sl5000-rev.-2-gaming-chair-black-carbon-edition-gc-005-vt.html
