    First of all, I was very happy with how fast this item was delivered. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxYR69rUVDfF56JHQRldV2uJeXaPA9LTZW It came a day before the listed delivery date, which was super great! I was able to assemble it myself with no difficult and I am not an engineer or a put-it-together expert. The chair is super comfortable, I play video games for roughly 3-4 hours at a time and it does not make my back hurt or neck hurt. The Reclining function actually surprised me because it goes very low, you could fall asleep on it ( and in fact i have while laying on it with a foot rest for my legs). The red is a bold choice and I usually stay away but I love how the red and black contrast looks on this type of material. The wheels on this chair are very very quiet, I have wood vinyl in my apartment and there is absolutely no noise. OVERALL, I WOULD RECOMMEND or BUY IT AGAIN !

      look up the price of cold cure foam per square foot. its about 4$ for a 12x12x1 inch square. most gaming chairs are 5 inches thick or so, which costs about 20$ for just 1 square foot thick. not including cutting costs, stitching costs for the leather, or anything like that. theres about 2-3 square feet for the bottom cushion, and 5-6 square feet for the back cushion. 7-9 square feet at at 20$ per square foot averages out around 140-180$ just for the foam alone. Which is more than your "Office Chair" that probably uses upholstery foam that costs 60 dollars for a 72x24x6 (6 feet long, 2 feet wide and 6 inches thick) sheet at retail price, and will last less than 1 year before it goes completely flat and feels like youre sitting on a piece of wood.

      The best chairs are actually those on a private jets, they go for about $35,000usd each, the optional recline able foot rest is another $5000usd more ! ruclips.net/video/IXerViF3kwI/видео.html

  • @HenrikMyrhaug
    @HenrikMyrhaug 3 года назад +74

    When I moved out (half a year ago) my parents wanted to buy me a chair, so they asked me if I wanted a gaming chair. I said no way, and told them I'd rather want an office chair with good ergonomics, since I would be spending a lot of time doing homework and watching video lectures. We went to an office supply store, and I tried out every single chair, and got my second favourite one (since my favourite one was too expensive) at around 280$.
    I now have a comfortable office chair with adjustable lumbar support wich I can easily sit in for hours without any pain or discomfort. One of my friends keeps commenting how comfortable it is every time he visits.
    It is really worth it to try out a lot of different chairs untill you find one that is comfortable for you to sit in. The ammount of comfort/ reduced discomfort you feel is a worthwhile investment.

      It was only the lumbar support of the chair that was adjustable, and if you don't have a similar body to mine, it probably wouldn't fit you, and I don't want you to waste money on a chair that fitssomeone else. I'd reccomend you go to a local office supply store and try all the chairs they have, and test wich one fits you the best. It took me about 1-2 hours to find the chair I have now.

If you swipe a regular mouse fast, it will not reach its destination and will more likely to jitter and stop at a certain point. also, regular mouse are only 125hz which means they report less. You need accuracy when it comes to fps games.

    I recently got a "racing" style chair to replace an old office chair. It wasn't any of the big brand names that cost hundreds upon hundreds of dollars. In fact, it was less than $80 when I ordered it. I personally like it because it supports my head and back pretty well.

      Inexpensive $80-$500 chairs all have the same issues:
      1. Lack of adjustment
      2. Foam will collapse in 3-6 months and your thighs will be hitting wood
      3. Vinyl/faux leather will start cracking and peeling by year two
      4. Cheap fabric will start wearing or develop fuzz around the front seat area
      5. Armrest pads will start cracking and falling apart
      6. Cheap small hard 2" nylon casters will mar your hardwood floors
      On a high end chair, just the 5 casters on the chair will cost around $120

      Apparently 500 dollars is inexpensive? What did you buy, a $1200 dollar Herman Millers?
      What you just said isn't wrong, but isn't always correct either. Take a GT Omega for example.
      260 dollars for the pro model:
      1. Complete adjustment. Arm rest can go down, up, sideways, inwards. 85-190 degree adjustment for back support, headrest and lumbar cushion are both made from high quality foam/leather, has tilt locking mechanism which will stop rocking on the chair
      2. Foam is high quality and is very bulky (in a good way) so you won't sink into the chair
      3. Consistent Synthetic Leather all around the entire chair probably wont crack unless you do something extremely idiotic
      4. Again, PU Leather isn't cheap fabric
      5. Pretty sure all armrests are made of plastic, including 1200 dollars Herman Millers. Although if you mean the metallic casement, I'm not going to lie, you have the edge there.
      6. They're all either plastic or rubber...
      On a high end chair, you don't pay over 500 dollars.

    • @etow8034
      @etow8034 6 лет назад +9

      Dude you're talking with a person with many many years of manufacturing experience and with a specialty in one of the world's largest foam manufacturers. You cannot say the foam is good simply because it is firm and bulky, most foam used in sub $1000 chairs are garbage since foam is sold by weight, I know which companies buy which foams for their products and let me tell you 90% of them buy the crappiest stuff for their products that is loaded with tactum powder to increase weight as foam is sold by the pound, but will collapse because tactum powder is an impurity in the microscopic makeup of the foam's structure. 99.999% of chair manufacturers will never mention the type of foam that is used in their chairs for good reasons. Plus all PU vinyl faux leather will crack no matter what over a 2-3 year period and even faster when exposed to UV light. The metal adjustment mechanisms and gas struts is where most chair manufacturers try to market you their chair, but it is the least important as far as I am concern as those components are mostly made overseas by the quadrillions and are interchangeable from manufacturer to manufacturer. A high price tag alone will not determine if the the chair is good or not in this day of age. Herman Millar and Steelcase chairs are expensive because they involve local labor and the "Made in USA" brand, but doesn't necessarily mean they are good quality chairs. A "quality" chair is when a chair manufacturer can produce a chair at the lowest cost that will perform like a Herman Miller or Steelcase chair and to date I haven't found any yet. Any stupid company can produce a good chair with high price tag, but it takes an exception company to make a "Quality" chair at the lowest price tag !

    • @thevigamerpixerlator
      @thevigamerpixerlator 6 лет назад +7

      Of course, I'm not saying that the foam is extremely good. I simply said that some can be really bulky and sturdy. Which for me, is quality enough (but that's preferential). Again, you're paying a huge amount of money for a chair, which while may be high quality but many people, just honestly can't afford. My point was that chairs within the 500 dollar region can still be good.

      BINGO!
      Just start with the most expensive chair (usually) and work your way down to the most affordable for your pocket. Afterwards, arrange them all in categories such as:
      GOOD
      BETTER
      BEST
      Then, you may find the one that suits your budgetary and personal needs. I usually do this with most huge purchases, and I don't often regret that system.

I wound up buying the very chair he refers to from Ikea, it was the only somewhat decent chair that could replace my old worn out chair. My old chair was extremely comfortable, but it was worn out after nearly a decade of use and the store I bought it from just sells cheap garbage now. My new chair from Ikea isn't quite as good as my old one, but definitely better than the ones from the competing stores.

      Cristhian Mora you’re both just wrong. These chairs promote very poor posture, and have completely destroyed mine. Office chairs are not simply “uncomfortable”. Calling them “cheap and shit” is also completely false. A real office chair will keep you comfortable and will keep your body in a position that promotes good sitting habits and keeps your back healthy. These gaming chairs are just full of cushions so you think it is comfortable, and it is in the short term, but after 10 hours of sitting you will be cramped and left with an aching back. I know this because I literally had one. Office chairs are almost always, far and away better than these.

      @@Sjwatts @Sjwatts For someone who has shoulder pain after sitting for an hour or so, office chairs are horrible because theres an S curve in office chairs that doesnt fully envelop the user and instead provides back support but no shoulder support.Sure it has a head rest and a lumbar cushion but that only supports the neck and back but not the shoulder regions.In several gaming chairs the seats dont have a curvy back but rather the upper part provides support as it clings to your shoulder when reclined/tilted at a 90° angle as there's no curve seperating your shoulders from your neck.I own an office chair (those white mesh seats with built lumbar cushions) and they're nowhere near as good as these youtubers claim to be.And everyone gets cramped and has an aching back after sitting for 10 hours. Your body isn't designed to keep you sitting upright for that long.The max amount of time you should sit on a chair whether its office or gaming is about 6 hours.Some gaming chairs come with strap lumbar cushions but thats a minor tadeoff compared to the lack of shoulder support from office chairs.

    The Ikea chair is great, last year I moved into a new place and the previous tenant was having difficulty moving out some furniture (due to only owning a car) and I agreed to let them store it in the garage until they had a chance to borrow someone's truck to pick it up.
    I was new to this state and also only owned a car so I had no furniture as well. They had some really nice dressers and a matching desk. I offered to buy it from them and they agreed to sell it.
    With that came the Ikea chair, I was never expecting it to hold up as it looked like a cheaply made chair. To my surprise the chair was incredible comfortable. I could sit in the chair for 5+ hours without the slightest of issues daily.

If you swipe a regular mouse fast, it will not reach its destination and will more likely to jitter and stop at a certain point. also, regular mouse are only 125hz which means they report less. You need accuracy when it comes to fps games.

    The lack of adjustment is definitely a point I hadn't thought about, and it made me realize that my cheap Staples office chair is basically a racing chair with a slightly different headrest shape. Hell, the backrest is directly attached to the armrests, which are directly attached to the seat!

      I had the best chair in the world it would seem for $250 USD. It's over 10 years old just a high back office chair with syncho tilt so comfy if you leaned back too far you would fall asleep constantly. Unfortunately the company and chair no long exist, all the chairs I could find now were cheap chinese chairs that cost too much, designed to only last 2 years max and not a single one was comfy. I feel like quality chairs are over $1000. So I chose a secret labs Titan, 2 days in and my legs are killing me. My back however loves it, ever so slightly better than my old chair in that regard but only because I'm lucky and not because it's adjustable like my old chair.

    Just got my first gaming chair with the bucket seat, and MAN do I not care of it. I like to spread my legs when watching movies (like in movie theaters) and sometimes like to cross my leg (like sitting on it) too. This bucket seat does not let me do any of those and it just becomes one of those life lessons you experience.

    I got a one of these racing chairs for the first time ever for christmas, and I love it. I had always used office chairs, my last one costing around 600$, and it didn't even last a year before it started squeaking, creaking, and got worn out. Other chairs just weren't comfortable enough, or also didn't last long. The chair I had on my list for christmas, the one I got, was under 200$, and I love it so far. It's easily the most comfortable chair I've ever had. It has an attached foot rest, the lumbar support, which is like the ones you describe in the video, and I can easily and comfortable cross my legs, with or without the foot rest.
    It does depend on the person =P but I can say from personal experience, I love mine.

  • @JustaGuy_Gaming
    @JustaGuy_Gaming 6 лет назад +4

    Yeah it's amazing how many gaming channels have these chairs, mostly because they got them for free due to a promotion. Most are designed the same way luxury office chairs are designed imo, that is something to comfortably recline in. The headrest, back support and all those comfy features only apply if your leaning back and generally not doing anything. If your working at a computer, playing a game, etc your mostly upright, if not leaning forward and getting no benefit form these features.
    That said I've had alot of chairs over the years, some good some bad. I've spent over $200 on a good leather office chair that ended up breaking in no time (bottom tore from the stand because the expensive leather chair was bolted to the stand via cardboard lol). I've also used very hard and uncomfortable wooden kitchen chairs. No matter how much you spend on your chair always remember to be comfortable, even if you have to get a small pillow to support your head or back and never forget to get up and move around, stretch etc every once in a while.

    • @Miss_Akashiya
      @Miss_Akashiya 6 лет назад

      Actually you should lean a bit back when being on the computer. Sitting up completely straight may seem good and healthy at first. But exhaust your back much over time, applying much pressure to the spine. Leaning back, even if just a bit, your back gets support from the chair and you can sit way longer. Of course that still doesnt mean you need an overpriced racing chair though^^

    Word of advice: if you use a racing/gaming chair, go to your local (insert local superstore chain here) walmart and go to the sewing section and buy a furniture grade foam block. They'll be about an inch or so thick but they VASTLY improve how the chair feels over long periods. You'll likely need a friend and a pair of hog ring/nosed pliers.
    Happy gaming everyone.

    1:32 - Bucket seats are for cars to keep you in place when turning, not when you are using computers and sit still. It is just for aesthetics. Don't get me wrong, I do think they look nice but not for comfort.
    1:42 - I cross my legs often therefore tried to find a nice, large chair that can support crossing my legs. I bought the Aerocool Project 7 GC1 gaming chair. This is not a bucket seat. It has a high back with side head cushions and large cushion to sit on. (Thought might be like an airplane headrest where you can rest your head on the sides)
    I can sit cross legged but after 1 year, didn't know you meant to "look after" the PU leather, and it started to crack. Now it really worn with bits of PU leather all over the floor. Now looking for a new seat :(
    One thing I don't like about some gaming seats, is the recliner. While you can put the back rest down flat horizontal and they say you won't fall, still...while the large large legs and wheels might keep the centre of gravity sort of in the centre, to keep you from falling backwards and wheels rolling forward on floor while that is happening, if you lay flat and nothing happens, the "Feeling" is there that one little move you do such as turn to the side, move up a bit, might then put off the centre of gravity causing you to fall and injure yourself therefore not really lying there comfortably when you got that thought in your head .."is this safe?...my upper body is heavier and centre of gravity is off to the side...am I going to fall? "
    I had a leather office chair once and that recliner was joined to the seat so when you tilt, it only goes 45 deg and centre of gravity stays in centre so was much more comfortable to relax knowing you won't fall. :)

America is just trying to be extra.. but they're just stupid. Same with MM/DD/YY no one want to know the Month date first when he's asking "what Date do we have today?", because everyone should know in which MONTH he is right now.. forgetting the exact Day is tolerable. So it should be DD/MM/YY .. the most important first. But America can't or don't want to understand that.
      So let other people write it how they think it's correct. Because america is definitely one of the few ones on the planet who is not doing it correct.
