Sitting in this right now, it's a good chair for the price! If you're like me and often sit with one leg under the other up in your chair (is this weird? I don't know) then it's pretty damn bad for that. I have calluses on my feet from the chair material pressing on them lol.
You can buy arm rest cushions, too. Things you literally strap on to the arm rest.Fuck, it looks more aesthetically pleasing then the one in the OP but I understand what Bansai is saying. I currently use a leather wooden chair with arm rests like that and my arms go numb if I keep them their for awhile. Damn
Lol we gotta pay the Northern Tax™ of course!What if I live I Canada, and for some reason this is my $300 chair apparently

I've had several Markus' (my home/gaming one and my old job was for the family business, and spending $200 on a chair was more responsible than a HM Aeron) and always thought they were great. The Hyken hit my radar a few months ago from a buddy who swore by it, and it isn't just regency bias - it's a much better chair than the Ikea. My old one is literally five feet away, and going from one to the other, it's a no-brainer over which one is better.Interesting thanks for the info and yeah you're right it's Ikea Markus haha
I was planning to get Aeron Miller secondhand for good price but I hear you can't really sit on it cross legged which is what I do a lot at home
So I guess it's either the Hyken or the Markus need to do more research, probably going to just choose the cheaper out of the two
Yeah, like the guy sitting in a $1300 chair is going to take chair recommendations from the guy who doesn't make that in four months. COME ON!
haha this thread makes me feel validated, i did all the research and got the dexley cause i'm taller. been liking it but man, i dont understand headrests, they dont work for me anywhere, cars, chairs, theaters. comfy but cant see what i want to seeCan't recommend this enough.

For real though, it does go on sale for I think $169 is the lowest I've seen, but if you want a good chair for same amount as reg price Hyken at Staples, try out the Ergochair 2 from Autonomous.
The comfort difference for me is pretty significant, it's always been that way. Not sure it's a habit I'll break fully. To be clear it's not the only way I sit. In fact I can hardly keep still most of the time (thanks ADHD), so I'm constantly adjusting how I'm seated, that's just my default.That there is almost certainly bad for your knee or hip or both. You might want to stop. Sitting properly is boring as hell, but there's a reason for it.
How is it comfortable is there's no padding anywhere on it?
edit: I'm 6'3 290-295lbs.
but this guy seems fine with thsi one!
This is the slightly updated version for taller/bigger people. It's the one I went with.
thanks! just boughtCan't recommend this enough.
You can easily find used Steelcase Leap V2s at any used office store (they're a very popular chair, hence there's a lot out there). I got a 3 year old one in almost mint condition for $200. You can tell it's a $1000 chair simply by the build quality.Secret Lab chair is like $500. Better or more worth it than something like a Steelcase Leap? I know Steelcase is like 3x.
The fabric itself stretches. I've had an HM Aeron for close to 12 years now. Zero cushioning and the most comfortable chair I've ever sat on. Anytime I get into a comfy, padded office chair, I feel uncomfortable within minutes. Some 10 years ago I was about your weight at same height.How is it comfortable is there's no padding anywhere on it?

Yeah, if you're fortunate enough to live in a city big enough, or have a way of finding those warehouses/stores that deal in bankrupt/off lease office furniture you'll find Leaps, Aerons, etc.You can easily find used Steelcase Leap V2s at any used office store (they're a very popular chair, hence there's a lot out there).

The one I found a while ago is $450 from like a Calgary used office site, and they asked for $400 or something like that for shipping lol.Yeah, if you're fortunate enough to live in a city big enough, or have a way of finding those warehouses/stores that deal in bankrupt/off lease office furniture you'll find Leaps, Aerons, etc.
I wish I found something for $200; in my area they're still about $500+ cad lol.

But yes I know it would be best if I just sat up straight, feet forward, etc :p
I'm not big, but I am tall, so this one looks pretty good compared to the one in the OP.This is the slightly updated version for taller/bigger people. It's the one I went with.
As someone married to a person with adhd and has a child with adhd, believe me I understand.
At the same time consider how long the rest of your life is. Now consider spending the last 40 years or more with a bad hip because you liked sitting with one leg under the other.
It's not worth it. I'd recommend finding some other way to get comfortable. Thin cushion under your butt. A little extra back support. Memory foam. Etc. Anything is worth trying if it'll save you from years of body pain.

Guy With Back Pain
OP would never sit in some mushy chair like that. Only the finest mesh chairs for a true connoisseur as him.
hell yeah hell yeahAlso getting a $1000 electronically height adjustable desk. Hoping that it makes for a very comfortable gaming experience between the two of them. I might play some games standing from time to time (it's adjustable so that you can stand or sit).
Respectfully, the fact that you wrote this gentle, well-intended and entirely correct missive thinking it might make a difference tells me you don't. :PAs someone married to a person with adhd and has a child with adhd, believe me I understand.
Yes. Worst chair ever if you're a much above average height male.*Unless you're somewhat tall
The lumbar and headrest on this thing was literally killing me until I modded it.
No! The sides of the headrest push directly into my shoulder blades. It's impossible to be remotely comfortable.Not sure about the butt padding or lack thereof. Also, would the chair work for somebody that's 6'4?
You must have really long legs for 6'4" then (Nice for you on that, but sorry about the pants shopping). I'm a bit long in the torso for 6'4", and I would have to drop several inches to sit in this chair.
It's a mesh. It's not hard. It's stiff, but that's just to keep your posture. A good mesh chair is very comfortable and ages better than most padded chairs which will wear out.How is it comfortable is there's no padding anywhere on it?
