something to keep in mind is matchspel has 3 years warranty and markus has 10. I find the matchspel comfortable but significantly lower quality feeling. you're right about the leg issue though, it gets annoying after a while. I was going to go with jarfjalle for that reason but the reclining pressure was too high. markus seems to be winner for me among all three even though armrests digging legs and non-adjustability of the lumbar support are the biggest negatives about markus.
@@dropthabeat4408 I'm still using Markus chair, it's okay I like it considering the cost. I'd check Ikea's new chairs, I tried one that was called GRUPPSPEL and it felt good. But I'm not an expert this is my first decent chair. It doesn't feel amazing like the Herman Miller I had back at a work place but it doesn't feel bad either. I wish it could hug me a little and that GRUPPSPEL felt like it might do that. But I don't know if you would want that or not.
@@exshenanigan2333 Alright thank you, i just needed some more perspective on these kinds of chairs as i have always had a gaming chair, and i know how bad they can be for back flexibility so on and so forth
How comfy is it on your back? The Matchspel? Looking for something with more back support that doesn't brake the bank. This be good for someone who is 6' 3" and on the heftier side?
If the arms weren’t so uncomfortable I would probably pick the MARKUS just because the build quality. They both feel similar when if comes to comfort so if the arm spacing and adjustability isn’t an issue I’d say MARKUS.
I’ve been looking at the matchspel but I’m worried about how it’s gonna hold up since I’m pretty heavy at 5’11” 230 lbs. You think this would hold up for me?
My partner has been using it everyday for work since we got it and he’s around 300lbs and it’s held up just fine so far. The only thing that’s been an issue is the finish on the seat peeling but we ended up putting a cover over it.
I’ve been considering these two chairs and the armrest was the only thing I didn’t like on Markus otherwise it’s perfect at price point. Armrest is comfortable tbh FOR AN ARMREST. My issue is I like to sit cross legged sometimes and without being able to pull back armrests they get in the way
Thank you for this review! I'm stuck between these chairs and this review was really helpful. Nice to see them directly side by side too!

I'm looking for a new chair, what are your thoughts now and what chair are you rocking with?

@@MikeTechsItOut thank you for the info! Great content!
No, the back mesh is gonna stretch in a few months and you will feel the metal bar on your spine
The volume of your voice is on the weak side, but overall great content. Thanks :)
am i the only one that loves the armrest in the markus chair?
I’ve been considering these two chairs and the armrest was the only thing I didn’t like on Markus otherwise it’s perfect at price point. Armrest is comfortable tbh FOR AN ARMREST. My issue is I like to sit cross legged sometimes and without being able to pull back armrests they get in the way
thanks for the review, gonna buy the matchspel.
Don't
Why
Queer as a two bob note !
The arm rest on Marcus is terrible. I walked out of IKEA, because of it.
Don't know which one to choose now.
Markus. Still the King. You could 3D print some other armchairs, there are a few out there
