Thank you!!! Usually, when people say "short," they don't even include any heights under 5'4" and certainly not under 5'0". Suggestion: the timestamps would be more helpful if they included the person's height.
Heyyyy Christina here 🙋🏽♀️ lmao yay!! I was so excited for this video to come out!! Thank you so much for doing this and giving really well thought out recommendations. It's awesome that you recommend the Cosm, I absolutely love the design of it and love how uncomplicated it is. I really need to try it out if I can, hopefully I will soon. Again, thanks so much for your time!!
Hey Dominik here 😅 very cool video and great idea! I love that you really took time for the different people and gave some available background information to make it really personal. So let's get Ahnest, I don't know any other RUclipsrs that pay so much attention to their audience - huge respect for that! I'm used to be not easy 😅 but your recommendation is very welcome. I didn't had the Steelcase Gesture on the radar and will definitely check it out. Even I was now part of the first video I'm exicted to see the next part!
@@spongebob93lover Hey Wei Lin, I haven't finally bought a chair yet because I started renovating my office/gaming room. But I made further researches on both chairs (the Embody and the Gesture). While the Gesture seems to be a solid choice the Embody still has this extra attractiveness due to its unique design and but that's just guessing: a more special sitting-experience based on the way it's build. So, I decided to go for the Embody as soon as the room has been finished.
Thank you, I ended up getting the logitech embody. I can easily get through a full day of work and gaming, my chiropractor even said my back wasn’t as bad as it used to be. I had the secretlab omega but since I’d sit in it for at least 8 hours a day my whole body started to ache.
Thanks to you, I buy myself a second hand HM embody, feel so right after a gaming chair. ATM I didn’t work long on my Mac, but it’s confortable, it’s helping me to have a better posture. I feel less cervical pain, with exercises, chiro.
1:04 I'm 4'11&1/2", and I found a tiny, low ergonomic chair that allows me to put my feet flat on the floor! The catch: I have to use it with a VERY low desk too, but it's 1000% worth it! I ordered the "PT62 Ergonomic Petite Tasker, OMI-PT62" chair by Office Master Smart Seating (seat height 15.5" from floor), and an Uppeal desk (adjustable for floor sitting, chair sitting, and standing). This was expensive but worth it for me. (It's definitely cheaper - and safer - than back surgery!) My setup looked ridiculously low to me at first, but as soon as I sat down... wow! It's perfect! If you can't afford these but want to skip the footrest, at least find a very low chair (so your feet are flat on the floor), then set up a plank or sheet of wood at the appropriate height for your arms (eg, place night stands, crates, etc, under either side of the "desk" top).
Oh wow, Kam here! Thanks so much for doing this video and it’s quite fun to get your valued recommendations right on your channel! Do you think the Mirra 2 or nouhaus ergo3d would also be an option if my budget increase to $400-$500 range? I’m looking for pre owned Aeron but it takes patience. Thank YOU so much for your chair content you do an awesome job!
Thank you! I think either is a solid option, although I haven’t personally tested the mirra2 for myself yet! The ergo3d has a solid headrest, which you may not need considering your height! If you do get a ergo3d, use coupon code ahnestly10 for 10% off!
Hey Dan Rusty here, love all your content! Real nice production quality, music, video quality, questions you ask everything A+. I'm not big into social media so hopefully its ok I ask here. 2. I'm 5' 10" 3. 165lbs 4. Canadian 5. Gaming, programming, being productive, I sit relatively properly, like to cross legs just at the ankles rest feet on caster wheels sometimes, maybe straight back few inches off backrest sometimes, when I'm watching videos relaxing I put my feet up, lean way back and end up napping with an airplane pillow a fair amount. 6. I sit for a wide variety of times 15 minutes to 8-10-12 hours (napping) with breaks of course. 7. I've never owned or used a chair with lumbar, I don't think I'd like aggressive lumbar. 8. Prefer leather or other warm/durable materials. 9. No budget, I want to get the best chair for me I can. Although it doesn't mean it will necessarily also the most expensive right? 10. No chair ruled out, I'd rather spend a bit extra for quality. 11. Through my research it seems the Logitech Embody with the upcoming Atlas headrest might be a good option? 12. I've been using a no name fake leather high back office chair for 8ish years its served me well but the seat foam has been bottomed out for a while and the fake leather is falling apart. It has a very basic tilt function where it stays in the "L" shape at all times but I like that when I tilt back I cannot slide down due to the shape keeping me in a somewhat seated position. My next chair needs to have a good headrest or be high back, I end up napping a lot in my chair. Thanks!
I’m 5’2 and bought an Aeron Size A a couple of months ago! Coming from the Titan Evo 2022, I really like the ability to have my feet on the ground without a foot rest and for my legs to actually fit on the chair. This video had some rly thoughtful points for short people :D
@@Ahnestly Ah I just saw them, thanks! Also, how do we answer those surveys that were shown on the video? I think this is a great idea, definitely unique and what is "ahnestly" helpful haha
Thanks, I hope you do mine in the next video. As for availability in Europe the biggest issue is used chairs, because the used market is not as big as in the US, so used chairs usually is not an option. Also the prices might be a bit higher than the US but in general it's possible to get any chair that exists in the US.
Hi Dan, This is a great idea and just what I need. I've must have watched nearly every chair video you've done, but I missed the social post. I hope this works for you instead... 1. Jeff 2. 5'6.5"" (Short legs, longer torso) 3. 230lbs 4. USA 5. Focused- Leaning forward, belly right up against my desk, elbows on the desktop, extra pillow for additional lumbar support, heals of my feet on the legs of the chair. Working, but less forward- Leaning slightly back, strong, but unlocked back support, elbows on the arms of the chair, keyboard and mouse right at the edge of the desk. Zoom call w/o video- Leaning way back, feet and calves on the desk, keyboard on my lap. 6. 8-10 hours hours per day with maybe 10-15 minute breaks every couple of hours. 7. Yes on aggressive lumbar. 8. Prior tailbone injury, so soft seat with a steap fall off in the back to keep the pressure off the spine. 9. $6-900 10. No short back, or flat seat pan. No non-adjustable arms. No Staples... 11. I just traded in a 2 year old Staples Dormeo for a SecretLab NeueChair. I liked the high back and the flip up arms of the Dormeo because the arms were short enough to allow me to "belly up" to the desk when I needed to. But the seat was just too uncomfortable after a few hours and the arms did not adjust up and down. I did like that the arms followed you when you sit back. The seat and controls of the NeueChair are great. I'm still waiting for the headrest, so for now it's still a little short. My shoulders are right at the top of the back. What I don't like are the arms. I wish they were 4 way so I could push them back and get closer to the desk. The seat is adjusted all the way forward and the lumbar is at it's max. I think it might be perfect with the headrest and if I could push the arms back... I'm considering sending it back and trying a NOUHAUS ErgoPro. That also comes in red. 12. I also like the concept of the forward tilt feature on some chairs, but I have not seen one at a price point I'm willing to invest without being able to try it first. I'm not a gamer, but I do spend a good amount of time sitting back with a tablet on my lap working in Photoshop. Thanks for all you do!!!
I’m 6’2 250lb WFH / Game 10+ hours, no budget, no preference in materials, adjustable arms are a must, I sit up straight at all times with both feet planted, I’m okay with aggressive lumbar, I do not like gaming chairs. Could you PLEASE make a couple recommendations 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Recommendation: height/weight for the RUclips tags in video rather than name for those of us looking for our heights 😅 at 5’4 it would be super convenient to not have to rewatch each one
I was so excited to find your series for short people- I’m 5’4”. However got very disappointed that not one heavy person was included! It seems “big = tall” and “short = small”?! I need a “big and short”! I’m 400 lbs and am a musical producer so I seriously need to find a chair that works and doesn’t break the bank ($500 or less if possible). If no such thing exists then the closest to it! Thanks so much for any help! My suggestion would be a series just for obese people :)
For anyone in Europe I would recomend any chair from RH if they are availble in your country. It's a Swedish brand and offer a full 10 year warranty. The RH Logic 200/400 and the RH Mereo 220 are very good. Many adjustments, including an inflatable lumbar support. They are very exxpensive, sitting at about 1800 euro, 1900 USD.
Awesome video, I can’t wait for my recommendation! I’m the skinny ~165 pound 6’2” fellow who talked about the Costco chair and I feel like I overlooked some info that might be helpful. I am a student who enjoys gaming, so while I’m gaming I’m typically sitting normally, but when I’m studying I can tend to lean forward for a good chunk of time. However, in both instances I’ve found that when the tension drops I like to lean back, maybe stretch a little, and gather my thoughts. Hope any of this information was helpful, and I can’t wait to see your next project!
@@Ahnestly money isn’t much if an issue atm, I’m selling my car for a motorcycle because of gas prices, so I’ll have a couple grand on the side it to put wherever I want :)
I love that you have a Zoom h5 in that aeron review. I "m looking to get 1 for my potential voice over side hustle. I gotta find your survey, but I watch so many reviews by you I should know already what chair I should get. Not a TItan XL 2022 tho! lol!!
my footrest is a cardboadbox... but the most annoying thing about big chairs is that the head pillow/headrest is always exactly on the height where it pushes my head down i hat that male 1,80m is the standard bc MOST PEOPLE AREN'T
The foreign market is interesting... I helped someone from Russia try to get a chair-the choices were unknown to me and limited. It be like that sometimes.
Omg I need so much help. 5’2. Female, 170 lbs. foot rest tilting forward and back. I love lumbar support. Massive lower and lower back pain. Sacral pain. 5-8 hours at a time. Loved Herman aero. Prefer mesh with memory foam to elbow.
If you liked the Aeron...I recommend you get an Aeron. All other mesh chairs will feel pretty inferior compared to it, except for the Steelcase Karman! But the Karman doesn't hug you as well as the Aeron, but does give you LOTS more freedom of movement in your chair!
I hate footrests, they get in the way and you need a super deep desk. I'm short, 5'6" my solution was to buy a high crocs lmao, it works like a charm it has 4" high heels approximately lol
I am 200lbs and 6"1. I bought that Komene chair that everyone was swearing by a year or so ago, and i would probably only recommend it for people 5'9 max and 180lbs. The back rest is barely too short for me.
I'm 5'0 and am very uncomfortable with all chairs I've sat on. The balls of my feet never touch the ground, and because I have a condition that makes circulation like a diabetics and foot swelling at my young age is a problem, it makes my feet so much more uncomfortable than other people my height. And I can't sit back because it will make me look like a child or lean back like I'm almost lying down.
Your survey ended, so if you don't mind I will answer the questions here for your next episode in this series: 1. Theo 2. 5.8" (173cm) 3. 160lbs (72kg) 4. Cyprus 5. Normally / Cross-legged / Leg tucked under / Reclined with feet on floor / Reclined with legs on desk (I change position often) 6. 1 hour max (straight) but 12+ hours in total 7. No aggressive lumbar 8. Mesh / Fabric 9. 150 - 1500 (as long as the cost can be justified with better comfort / durability) 10. I rule out chairs without headrest and/or no arms. Leather chairs. 11. I am currently using the Ikea Markus. It is OK for me. I don't mind the fixed arms since they are at the right height for me, but I don't like that they block my legs a bit when I sit cross-legged. I would also prefer a bit softer seat (mesh?), and a bit deeper seat. The back is a bit too high for me. Lastly, it sometimes makes noises when I recline, so I would prefer something quieter / higher quality.
Hope Herman Miller get 4D-arms, or at least some good armrest depth adjustment. I like being able to get the armest right under my arms on height with the table, while getting very close to the table.
I am searching high and low for an adequate chair at 70 years of age. I am 155 or 160 tall. I am getting shorter because of scoliosis y kyphosis. My problem is at the lumbar region. And I can’t afford an expensive chair but because of my back problem and a small area I am looking for a head rest and foldable armrest. Hopefully you can suggest something suitable for my health problem. Thank you! I am from Spain and need the cost price in euros.
GOD THANK YOU JSEUS FUCK!! i have been struggling for like 5 years bc i am SHORT and don't have a nice CHAIR!??! But cant find anyone talking about that
Hahahaha here’s a more updated video (use time stamps!). I broke down recommendations based on height and price The BEST Office and Gaming Chairs 2023 | Ultimate Chair Buying Guide ruclips.net/video/WQEkEfQs5vs/видео.html Please consider using my links if you decide to pick up anything!
Hi! I love your videos they have been super helpful narrowing down a chair. I was looking at the downix chair but am torn on whether it is going to be a good fit. I'm 5'5 130lbs (women) and need lumbar support, preferably with an attached foot rest and is roomy without being huge . I can't spend more than 450$ and was hoping for an white/grey/ Kaki color. If you can offer any recommendations that would be rad! I'm not a gamer but sit at a computer for 5-6hrs a day for school. My desk is 29in from the floor to the top where my computer sits. Most office chairs are not my style. No preferred brands or brands I don't like.
I'm looking into the Mavix M7 but I just need to know if this would work for me. I am 5'7 and I weigh 150lbs. Would this be a good fit for me or is that chair a little too tall?
i recently purchased the steelcase series 1 for my gaming setup anyone have anything good or bad to say about this chair? I am 5'6 maybe 5'7 and only 145Lbs. Im really hooping i enjoy this chair
Hi I'm 5,7.5 from Australia I'm 120pounds and not sure if I like strong lumbar. I want a headrest and pre owned isn't a option. Never tried a chair over $100. Price range if it's worth it any price. Would love some recommendations and reasoning for It.
Hi, I'm 5'3 from Aus. In your last video on general chair recommendations, you recommended the NeueChair for shorter people. I noticed that you didn't bring up the NeueChair at all in this video - is it no longer recommended? Are these options better than the Neue?
Naw the Neue is still fantastic imho. I didn’t recommend it because of 2 reasons: weight factor, bc the mesh is loose and I wouldn’t feel comfortable recommending it to anyone over 140-150 lbs and 2 bc a lot of people wanted to tuck one leg or sit cross legged and the neue isn’t as good at that as say a cushion chair. Some of these budget cushion chairs have incredible cushions!!
Hey Nitin here from New Delhi ! Unfortunately we dont get too much variety here. A lot more of a price sensitive market here. Me iv been looking to buy a chair im 5’-6”, 56 kgs. My only options seem to be ikea chairs (liked the hattefjal; sat on it on 5 mins) steelcase series one and some lower tier duorests. Would be streching my budget those last 2. Any thoughts ?
They’re 2 different beasts. The t50 offers a lot of adjustments at the price point, BUT the cushion isn’t nearly as good as the m90d. Also, the m90d can adjust the back height so you can get that perfect fit!
Hello! Do you have any recommendations for chairs under 300 for someone who is 5'3" and likes to sit cross legged (in addition to sitting normally)? I'm really struggling. I looked at the Branch chairs but it seems like their lowest seat height will be slightly to tall for me. But I also don't want an ugly chair LOL😅😅Thanks so much
Hi, I'm super short, 4'8" with short legs. Currently using Aeron size A with 1" thick slipper to help with height. But my neck and shoulder hurts. maybe I'm not sitting right. Considering adding headrest to it. Can you help recommend which headrest should I get for such short person with small head like 12-14 years old? I only care about comfort. And also, is there a chair fits me better than Aeron size A fory petite size? 4'8" with about 100lbs only. Super light. TIA!
Did you ever find out? I realized none of the arms except Steelcase Gesture went narrow enough to position my elbow close to my body (11-13 inch inner width). But Gesture gave me low back pains, not as comfortable. I want the Embody seat and Gesture arms in one chair. Aeron size wasn’t adjustable at all. Still made for someone probably 5’2”. Not under 5’.
What would you recommend for some one 5’8+ 150 pounds sits for 2-9hours and I haven’t tried any chairs really and I have been thinking of the mfavour ergo chair budget 100-200 250MAX
In the beginning, I showed the results of everyone who submitted something! Part 1 is for up to 5’7 - part 2 May cover up to 5’11, but want to see if anyone has any suggestions other than organizing by height!
@@Ahnestly That's all im looking for haha im 6'2 and 115kg, been using the Markus Ikea chair for the past 7 years and its gone well, but the seat is starting to flatten now. Chairs are the hardest, the majority of your video suggestions have been bought out on amazon unfornately. Just wish secret lab did a XL neue because it looks gorgeous.
such a nice video and great work, may i ask you please if u have tried the noblechairs Hero or know anything about it since it seems as a good contestant to the Titan Evo or the 2020 Titan. Honestly, i would have gone with the Evo since it is the best gaming chair out there apparently but it doesn’t sell in my region and shipping is triple the price of the chair🫠. The noblechairs does sell locally tho.

6. I sit for a wide variety of times 15 minutes to 8-10-12 hours (napping) with breaks of course.
7. I've never owned or used a chair with lumbar, I don't think I'd like aggressive lumbar.
8. Prefer leather or other warm/durable materials.
9. No budget, I want to get the best chair for me I can. Although it doesn't mean it will necessarily also the most expensive right?

5. Focused- Leaning forward, belly right up against my desk, elbows on the desktop, extra pillow for additional lumbar support, heals of my feet on the legs of the chair.
Working, but less forward- Leaning slightly back, strong, but unlocked back support, elbows on the arms of the chair, keyboard and mouse right at the edge of the desk.
Zoom call w/o video- Leaning way back, feet and calves on the desk, keyboard on my lap.
6. 8-10 hours hours per day with maybe 10-15 minute breaks every couple of hours.
7. Yes on aggressive lumbar.
8. Prior tailbone injury, so soft seat with a steap fall off in the back to keep the pressure off the spine.
9. $6-900
10. No short back, or flat seat pan. No non-adjustable arms. No Staples...
11. I just traded in a 2 year old Staples Dormeo for a SecretLab NeueChair. I liked the high back and the flip up arms of the Dormeo because the arms were short enough to allow me to "belly up" to the desk when I needed to. But the seat was just too uncomfortable after a few hours and the arms did not adjust up and down. I did like that the arms followed you when you sit back. The seat and controls of the NeueChair are great. I'm still waiting for the headrest, so for now it's still a little short. My shoulders are right at the top of the back. What I don't like are the arms. I wish they were 4 way so I could push them back and get closer to the desk. The seat is adjusted all the way forward and the lumbar is at it's max. I think it might be perfect with the headrest and if I could push the arms back... I'm considering sending it back and trying a NOUHAUS ErgoPro. That also comes in red.
12. I also like the concept of the forward tilt feature on some chairs, but I have not seen one at a price point I'm willing to invest without being able to try it first. I'm not a gamer, but I do spend a good amount of time sitting back with a tablet on my lap working in Photoshop.
Thanks for all you do!!!
I’m 6’2 250lb WFH / Game 10+ hours, no budget, no preference in materials, adjustable arms are a must, I sit up straight at all times with both feet planted, I’m okay with aggressive lumbar, I do not like gaming chairs. Could you PLEASE make a couple recommendations 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Recommendation: height/weight for the RUclips tags in video rather than name for those of us looking for our heights 😅 at 5’4 it would be super convenient to not have to rewatch each one
This thumbnail was so good 🤌🤌🤌
I was so excited to find your series for short people- I’m 5’4”. However got very disappointed that not one heavy person was included! It seems “big = tall” and “short = small”?! I need a “big and short”! I’m 400 lbs and am a musical producer so I seriously need to find a chair that works and doesn’t break the bank ($500 or less if possible). If no such thing exists then the closest to it! Thanks so much for any help! My suggestion would be a series just for obese people :)
Really exited for part 2 6’1 gang 👍
For anyone in Europe I would recomend any chair from RH if they are availble in your country. It's a Swedish brand and offer a full 10 year warranty.
The RH Logic 200/400 and the RH Mereo 220 are very good. Many adjustments, including an inflatable lumbar support. They are very exxpensive, sitting at about 1800 euro, 1900 USD.
Thanks for this comment! Please comment again in my part 2 bc everyone is from another country in part 2…lol
@@Ahnestly
Oh no...
Awesome video, I can’t wait for my recommendation! I’m the skinny ~165 pound 6’2” fellow who talked about the Costco chair and I feel like I overlooked some info that might be helpful. I am a student who enjoys gaming, so while I’m gaming I’m typically sitting normally, but when I’m studying I can tend to lean forward for a good chunk of time. However, in both instances I’ve found that when the tension drops I like to lean back, maybe stretch a little, and gather my thoughts. Hope any of this information was helpful, and I can’t wait to see your next project!
I hope you’ve got $$$, bc what you’re asking for exists, but gonna cost ya!
As a 150lb 6'1" fella, look at the Fern. I LOVE it big time highly recommend
@@Ahnestly money isn’t much if an issue atm, I’m selling my car for a motorcycle because of gas prices, so I’ll have a couple grand on the side it to put wherever I want :)
I love that you have a Zoom h5 in that aeron review. I "m looking to get 1 for my potential voice over side hustle. I gotta find your survey, but I watch so many reviews by you I should know already what chair I should get. Not a TItan XL 2022 tho! lol!!
Lolol thanks! I wish I knew how to use my zoom h5 in that video!!!
This is an awesome series! :D
my footrest is a cardboadbox... but the most annoying thing about big chairs is that the head pillow/headrest is always exactly on the height where it pushes my head down
i hat that male 1,80m is the standard bc MOST PEOPLE AREN'T
Amazing video! I have generic Chinese chairs on my country but this video will help me I guess.
The foreign market is interesting... I helped someone from Russia try to get a chair-the choices were unknown to me and limited. It be like that sometimes.
Lol
Omg I need so much help.
5’2. Female, 170 lbs. foot rest tilting forward and back. I love lumbar support. Massive lower and lower back pain. Sacral pain. 5-8 hours at a time. Loved Herman aero. Prefer mesh with memory foam to elbow.
If you liked the Aeron...I recommend you get an Aeron. All other mesh chairs will feel pretty inferior compared to it, except for the Steelcase Karman! But the Karman doesn't hug you as well as the Aeron, but does give you LOTS more freedom of movement in your chair!
@@Ahnestly I sometimes like folding my legs so that might be something to look into. Thank you so much for taking the time.
I hate footrests, they get in the way and you need a super deep desk. I'm short, 5'6" my solution was to buy a high crocs lmao, it works like a charm it has 4" high heels approximately lol
I think this solution is really really clever lolol
I am 200lbs and 6"1.
I bought that Komene chair that everyone was swearing by a year or so ago, and i would probably only recommend it for people 5'9 max and 180lbs. The back rest is barely too short for me.
I'm 5'0 and am very uncomfortable with all chairs I've sat on. The balls of my feet never touch the ground, and because I have a condition that makes circulation like a diabetics and foot swelling at my young age is a problem, it makes my feet so much more uncomfortable than other people my height. And I can't sit back because it will make me look like a child or lean back like I'm almost lying down.
great idea for a video!
The t50 was recommended quite a bit
at its price point, it offers a tilt forward feature and good customization!
Next vid, please turn up the gain on the audio!
Your survey ended, so if you don't mind I will answer the questions here for your next episode in this series:
1. Theo
2. 5.8" (173cm)
3. 160lbs (72kg)
4. Cyprus
5. Normally / Cross-legged / Leg tucked under / Reclined with feet on floor / Reclined with legs on desk (I change position often)
6. 1 hour max (straight) but 12+ hours in total
7. No aggressive lumbar
8. Mesh / Fabric
9. 150 - 1500 (as long as the cost can be justified with better comfort / durability)
10. I rule out chairs without headrest and/or no arms. Leather chairs.
11. I am currently using the Ikea Markus. It is OK for me. I don't mind the fixed arms since they are at the right height for me, but I don't like that they block my legs a bit when I sit cross-legged. I would also prefer a bit softer seat (mesh?), and a bit deeper seat. The back is a bit too high for me. Lastly, it sometimes makes noises when I recline, so I would prefer something quieter / higher quality.
Hey Theo! So I had so many entries, I couldn't handle anymore! We'll see if people ask for it again in the future!
Would love to participate, is the questionnaire still open? Where can I find it if it is?
It’s closed! I wanted to see how this one went before trying it again! Follow me here and on IG and I’ll announce if I’m opening it up again!
Hope Herman Miller get 4D-arms, or at least some good armrest depth adjustment. I like being able to get the armest right under my arms on height with the table, while getting very close to the table.
cool idea :) nice video.
Thanks!!
This is an incredible video! Would love to participate or get suggestions. Is the questionnaire still open?
I am searching high and low for an adequate chair at 70 years of age. I am 155 or 160 tall. I am getting shorter because of scoliosis y kyphosis. My problem is at the lumbar region. And I can’t afford an expensive chair but because of my back problem and a small area I am looking for a head rest and foldable armrest. Hopefully you can suggest something suitable for my health problem. Thank you! I am from Spain and need the cost price in euros.
that combo of things you need is really difficult! unfortunately, i haven't tested a lot of chairs with foldable armrests :-(
Love it
GOD THANK YOU JSEUS FUCK!! i have been struggling for like 5 years bc i am SHORT and don't have a nice CHAIR!??! But cant find anyone talking about that
Hahahaha here’s a more updated video (use time stamps!). I broke down recommendations based on height and price

Hi! I love your videos they have been super helpful narrowing down a chair. I was looking at the downix chair but am torn on whether it is going to be a good fit. I'm 5'5 130lbs (women) and need lumbar support, preferably with an attached foot rest and is roomy without being huge . I can't spend more than 450$ and was hoping for an white/grey/ Kaki color. If you can offer any recommendations that would be rad! I'm not a gamer but sit at a computer for 5-6hrs a day for school. My desk is 29in from the floor to the top where my computer sits. Most office chairs are not my style. No preferred brands or brands I don't like.
I'm looking into the Mavix M7 but I just need to know if this would work for me. I am 5'7 and I weigh 150lbs. Would this be a good fit for me or is that chair a little too tall?
i recently purchased the steelcase series 1 for my gaming setup anyone have anything good or bad to say about this chair? I am 5'6 maybe 5'7 and only 145Lbs. Im really hooping i enjoy this chair
Check if you can Ergohuman 2 chairs.
Hi I'm 5,7.5 from Australia
I'm 120pounds and not sure if I like strong lumbar.
I want a headrest and pre owned isn't a option. Never tried a chair over $100.
Price range if it's worth it any price.
Would love some recommendations and reasoning for It.
Hi, I'm 5'3 from Aus. In your last video on general chair recommendations, you recommended the NeueChair for shorter people. I noticed that you didn't bring up the NeueChair at all in this video - is it no longer recommended? Are these options better than the Neue?
Naw the Neue is still fantastic imho. I didn’t recommend it because of 2 reasons: weight factor, bc the mesh is loose and I wouldn’t feel comfortable recommending it to anyone over 140-150 lbs and 2 bc a lot of people wanted to tuck one leg or sit cross legged and the neue isn’t as good at that as say a cushion chair. Some of these budget cushion chairs have incredible cushions!!
Hey Nitin here from New Delhi ! Unfortunately we dont get too much variety here. A lot more of a price sensitive market here. Me iv been looking to buy a chair im 5’-6”, 56 kgs. My only options seem to be ikea chairs (liked the hattefjal; sat on it on 5 mins) steelcase series one and some lower tier duorests. Would be streching my budget those last 2. Any thoughts ?
Yes. I highly recommend you go with steelcase or duorest!!!
I see the T50 and the SIHOO M90 paired alot. Wich one would you say it's the better one at the same price?
I have a T50 in white it is a great chair for the price
They’re 2 different beasts. The t50 offers a lot of adjustments at the price point, BUT the cushion isn’t nearly as good as the m90d. Also, the m90d can adjust the back height so you can get that perfect fit!
Hello! Do you have any recommendations for chairs under 300 for someone who is 5'3" and likes to sit cross legged (in addition to sitting normally)? I'm really struggling. I looked at the Branch chairs but it seems like their lowest seat height will be slightly to tall for me. But I also don't want an ugly chair LOL😅😅Thanks so much

hey where can I get the link for the question Formular?
Can you do one of these just for bigger guys
Coming tomorrow :-)
Do we have a part two yet!?
YES! And pt 3 coming tomorrow!
Would like to submit a request through the questionnaire. I am above 5' 7''.
The questionnaire is closed! This was a test run to see if I should do this regularly or just do the series once and try other things!
Hi, I'm super short, 4'8" with short legs. Currently using Aeron size A with 1" thick slipper to help with height. But my neck and shoulder hurts. maybe I'm not sitting right. Considering adding headrest to it. Can you help recommend which headrest should I get for such short person with small head like 12-14 years old? I only care about comfort. And also, is there a chair fits me better than Aeron size A fory petite size? 4'8" with about 100lbs only. Super light. TIA!
Did you ever find out? I realized none of the arms except Steelcase Gesture went narrow enough to position my elbow close to my body (11-13 inch inner width). But Gesture gave me low back pains, not as comfortable. I want the Embody seat and Gesture arms in one chair. Aeron size wasn’t adjustable at all. Still made for someone probably 5’2”. Not under 5’.
What would you recommend for some one 5’8+ 150 pounds sits for 2-9hours and I haven’t tried any chairs really and I have been thinking of the mfavour ergo chair budget 100-200 250MAX
id shell 100 bucks more over your budget and get a leap v2 or amia used
No man with 6 feet height and 100 kg weight…sad…🙏
In the beginning, I showed the results of everyone who submitted something! Part 1 is for up to 5’7 - part 2 May cover up to 5’11, but want to see if anyone has any suggestions other than organizing by height!
@@Ahnestly That's all im looking for haha im 6'2 and 115kg, been using the Markus Ikea chair for the past 7 years and its gone well, but the seat is starting to flatten now. Chairs are the hardest, the majority of your video suggestions have been bought out on amazon unfornately. Just wish secret lab did a XL neue because it looks gorgeous.
im 6 feet myself but only 70kg so id say for you the haworth fern seems to be a good fit
4'11" and 187 lb? No wonder no chair is wide enough LOL
Chairs for dwarves then.
Don't hate!
such a nice video and great work, may i ask you please if u have tried the noblechairs Hero or know anything about it since it seems as a good contestant to the Titan Evo or the 2020 Titan. Honestly, i would have gone with the Evo since it is the best gaming chair out there apparently but it doesn’t sell in my region and shipping is triple the price of the chair🫠. The noblechairs does sell locally tho.
Not the Hero, but tested the Icon!
