ye and all of a sudden u have some of them who had a chair which they recommended for years and all of a sudden they find some new issues like ''oh after 5 hours it hurts my tailbone'' its a trick to sell u all the chairs. IMO anything from herman, steelcase, fern if digital knit, its all major upgrade to any sub 200$ chairs and it will last a lifetime
I personally tried many chairs but i went for steelcase leap since i think overall its one of best chairs as it will fit majority of people, and also its warranty is amazing

Emerge Vortex is typically on sale for $119.99-149.99. I've only seen it hit $99 a couple of times. Staples' comprehensive 5-year furniture protection is $35 (covers regular wear and tear), and given the chair was really only engineered to last 3 years, may be worth it for those who tend to end up with peeling faux leather, broken mechanisms, flat cushions, or worn out gas tubes. One of my former co-workers has worn out and replaced his chair using this protection plan a few times already, and I've heard stories of others doing the same.
I would definitely buy the Fractal Design Recline if it had a longer seatpan, softer - or no seat side bolsters, a deeper recline and armrests that didn't move so easily in the back and forth position. I really hope Fractal listens and makes improvements to a v2 version of the Recline.
I can get a leap v2 for $350 from a used office furniture store, combine that with the upcoming atlas headrest and should be around $550 total. The Fractal would probably be my alternative choice, so much to like there without going crazy on price.
This was the video I was looking for. I have seen plenty of your videos discussing good “office chairs” but I wanted to see one related to gaming. As far as I’m aware, you guys also play video games? The two aren’t entirely different, what makes a great office chair will often make a great “gaming” chair but there are some differences. The biggest difference lies in the arm pads. Some high end chairs have arm pads that are kinda wobbly and move too much around. I’m not saying that the arm pads shouldn’t be adjustable, but after you adjust them they still wobble back and forth, which is a dealbreaker for gaming.
awesome list, I'm considering either the Respawn Spire or the Fractal Refine. Just a heads up, the link y'all have in the description for the Respawn Spire is the same one as the Staples Vortex Emerge.
@@BradThurber we also need maybe a woman and a shorter guy. 5'9"+ is average height. we need a guy around like 5'6"-5'7" and a woman around the 5'2" range.
I have an Embody, it looks better than it performs. I spend more time sitting in my Amia, Lamia, and Fern because they are all more comfortable. Thumbs up for the Chairiffs!
I'm a little surprised. I've loved my Amia more than any other chair, but I'm 6'3 and I don't feel like it's working the best for me. It feels a bit too small, the seat length definitely isn't great and although everyone brags about the cushion, it could be better. So I'm considering the Embody Gaming, but I have no idea what to do or try next. Embody seems to have mixed reviews and that's a lot of money to take a risk on. Amia is still a solid 8/10 for me.
So I work from home and game. I’m between the Hermon Miller Aeron, Haworth Fern, and Steelcase Gesture. I’m 6’1” 265 lbs. which chair would you pick if you were sitting in it 8-10 hours per day? I don’t have a place near me to try them, so I gotta splurge and pray I love it haha 😂 (side note, I almost have enough “points for performance” from my job to purchase the gesture with just points; the other chairs aren’t an option on there unfortunately) However I still want to know what the best option would be for me regardless of the points?
Have you looked at the leap v2? A lot of people prefer it over the gesture. The arms are unbeatable and the back hugs and flexes with your back. The seat slides forward when you recline, and you can tuck your leg(s) if that's your thing. As a bonus, atlas is about to come out with a proper headrest you can add later.
The link to the cheat sheet is a page with "chair comfort tier list signup form" on it, but the form is nowhere to be seen (clean browser with no adblocker: same result).
@@oma23jI got mine for around 1200usd on their black Friday sale that year, also was able to try it out, we have an office supply company that has the latest normal embody chairs with the thicker padding on seat.
Interesting that the Haworth Fern gaming chairs didn't make the list. I've been seeing reviewers and commenters pointing out some serious materials, build and QC isuues with those chairs.
When I don't care about the design, but mainly use the chair for gaming: What would you choose? Ergohuman Gen2 (Mesh or Leather) or Mavix M9? One of the two chairs will be the one for me. I am 6 feet tall and weigh 220 pounds
As someone who is 6’1” 250 pounds, I absolutely hate the mesh Aeron chair because of the pressure points on the thighs. With that said, are there any major downsides for over 6’ folks wanting to pick up the Logitech Embody?
I'm 6'1'' - 6'2'' with similar weight and i have the regular Embody, i feel like it's better than HM Aeron OR Mirra but it has it's downsides. I feel like the seat is not confortable and kinda pokes into your ass/legs (even after adding 20mm foam) same can be said for the lumbar support which is jsut a plastic piece poking into your back ( i cannot use it without a lumbar pillow from IKEA). For a 2000 EUR ( 1000 EUR second hand market in Europe) chair i expected more.
I know you've probably been asked this a thousand times. But what is the difference between the logitech gaming embody vs the regular embody? I know back in the day the gaming embody had extra padding but as far as i could find on the internet, the regular embody has that as well now so are they the same now?
@@mikeworkman1759 They're essentially the same chair if you go with the sync fabric. Only difference is the gaming one has copper infused foam which theoretically should help a little with heat but in practice doesn't really matter. Go with whatever is cheaper.
Wasnt the ergohuman suppose to be one of the best chairs that compares to a herman miller? Not even mentioned. Consideirng your previous video was about the new x model.
Yes, the Ergohuman and Ergohuman Xtreme are great picks at the Under $1000 range. Better than the Fujin Pro. This video only includes chairs that are marketed as "gaming chairs." - Robert
@BTODTV I am 5′ 10″ (178 cm) and 165lbs (75kg) and wanna buy a new chair while the current discounts last. Home usage for like 4hrs gaming and chill out sessions in the evenings most of the time.I tend to do straight focused position while playing competitive fps games but also need option to do some more relaxed postures here and there. Was looking at the embody gaming but not sure if it's not more for relaxed lean back postures rather than doing straight focused ones. Also if the arm rests wont get too forward to my desk and interfere with it while getting close to it while focused gaming sessions (i go like 3″ between belly and desk currently). Would you recommend it for my use case or maybe some of the other high tier variants would better suit me? Gotta decide soon before the discounts end this month. I have close to none showrooms in my city for most of the chairs so it will be very hard to try them personally...
Any reason to buy the Gaming Logitech Embody over the regular embody if the base embody can be had at $400 cheaper than the gaming embody from a group discount? Aside from aesthetics like colour selection that is, our group discount only allows all black spec for the regular embody. Thanks
1000 dollars for a chair? Do they come with 800 in cash? I was thinkin 100, 200 max and that better be comfortable af, otherwise il just head over to salvation army and cop one for 20 bucks like my last one
I'll slam the Embody for not being perfect at that HIGH price point. Chair creeks LOUDLY, armrests leave a lot to be desired, no headrest, copper infuse does nothing when shown through a thermal gun, displayed gaming embody at herman miller store was over 1/4 inch crooked(I used a level) Which is why I did not buy one. Then add in the not so often complaints(support system pokes fabric). Its not even "near perfect". Then the regular embody now costs more than the gaming-embody. So what really is better? Its a "lavish brand" yet the supposedly re-engineered chair with copper is now cheaper than the regular embody? The upgrade to the regular embody happened over a year before the price hike. Then if I'm buying a 400 dollar chair every 4 years roughly, that makes herman millers warranty null n void. With the better "long term" deal being the 400 dollar chair. Since I could replace my chair at 400, 5x which passes the 12-year warranty by 8 years.... For the the same type of money. Not to mention extra chairs if I wanted them, or extra parts. Only saving grace for herman miller has there, is resale value. Now the aeron, I was impressed with. But its not the chair for me. I want to relax more and that chair hurts me then. Then I can't find one.... Not one review of an gaming-embody that was actually bought and paid for by the reviewer, let alone a 2+year review after. You guys are close, since you might just take it off the store inventory. But thats still not what I said.
Would really like a review for us fatties. I’m 5’8" and 300 pounds and have no real clue about what good viable chairs there are for me that are full day comfortable and durable AND will actually fit my fat butt.
For the price in a gaming chair it’s one of the better options which is why it’s picked. You have to pay more to get an upgrade which makes sense why you’re watching the video -GK
The chair I picked was $121. If you want a gaming chair for $100, just go to Amazon and pick one that meets the right size requirements for you. They are all going to be really low end, so the differences between one $100 gaming chair and another is not that big. -Ryan
Hold on, are they just picking chairs out of anything being called a gaming chair who gives a shit about that we want pics for? Features. That would be good for gemers long sitting times and Adjustable armrest what ever
You guys are just copying off of each other in the first half of the video, no variety.. There's better chairs out there like the AndaSeats ($300+) and Dowinx ($100+) brands which both have lots of positive reviews for a reason.

Thanks for doing this fellas appreciate it.
Amia steelcase is my favorite gaming chair
3:32 This is what I was thinking. Why not just use a Leap or Amia as a gaming chair? Am I missing something?
I can get a leap v2 for $350 from a used office furniture store, combine that with the upcoming atlas headrest and should be around $550 total. The Fractal would probably be my alternative choice, so much to like there without going crazy on price.
I love how it’s basically the same chair for each of their choices. No variety

i have the embody. its great but i should of got an aeron. the embody im consistently sliding down and having to adjust

You guys are funny lol...good edits thanks for keeping that in.
Just bought the Asus ROG Destrier. Top noch chair. Best mix between Ergonomic and Gaming Chair
video idea: get a friend or family member or anyone at 6'5-6'8 to come in and test the most popular chairs to see if they fit🙏
I agree. So many in the comments are really tall.

I'm currently looking at the Eureka Typhoon ergonomic gaming chair. Have you guys reviewed that one yet? I can't find many videos on it.
Can I just say. THIS IS GREAT. Having multiple heights bring their own opinions in. I'm 6'4ft and its a nightmare on my knees.
