I'm a small guy looking for gaming chair recommendations

[FriskyCanuck]

I've been using an old dining chair as my PC gaming chair for years and I think my posture is beginning to suffer because if it. So I'm looking to buy a gaming chair to fix that. I would like one that fits my tiny frame, I'm 5'5" and 110 pounds. I also do some simracing if that affects anything.

Any price is fine, I just got a Christmas bonus so I'm in a spending mood. Also are there any things to replace wheeled bases? I have wood floors and I'm concerned that wheeled chairs would scratch them.

Go to a reputable office chair store and let them help you. They should be able to take your considerations into account. Here you are just going to get I have this you should get that too.

Go to your nearest office supply store and grab anything that looks nice and features adjustable lumbar support. Sit in the display for a bit and see if it's comfortable.That should allow you to get one that works best for your height.

Although I'm only 2" taller than you and have never had issues with generic chairs.

This, but as another option go to an office store and sit in each of their chairs. If one fits right, go for it.

The safest bet would be an Aeron size B (because of your height).

Yeah as others have mentioned you want to go to a professional office furniture store. If you have a used office furniture store then that is better. You can get some amazing deals if you dont mind using furniture that was previously used in an office. The important thing to remember especially with Herman miller is that you don't always feel super comfortable (they aren't like sitting on a giant plus couch) but you can feel it pushing you to have good posture which will make you feel better over time.

Take care of your back. Have a look at ergonomic chairs instead. They might not "feel" as comfy at first but in the long run your back will thank you.

Steelcase make some excellent and affordable chairs or you could try finding used Herman Miller chairs too.

Okay, maybe I'll go to a Staples or something and browse, but are there any chairs without the wheels? I don't want any movement when I'm using my pedal set.

Get a Herman Miller. They're expensive, but 10 years from now you'll thank yourself. I'm sure if you have it all the way down you'll be fine.

Get yourself a potty chair. They are quite comfortable and come with a toilet.
