Blacklyte over Secretlab?

I find both brands to have a backrest as hard as a wooden plank! They are both so uncomfortable. I bought a Blacklyte Athena Pro hoping it would be comfier, but that was a big mistake. I would rather buy an Anda Kaiser or go full ergonomic from now, the likes of Fractal Design Refine.

Anda Seat Kaiser 4 Large/6D/Ash gray/ Linen Fabric

Suggestions for gaming chair from this list: SecretLab, Autofull, BlackLyte, Andaseat

The SecretLab Titan Evo Lite is great for your height and weight. The lumbar support and adjustable stuff should be good for your back. If you're looking to save some cash, check out the BlackLyte Athena It might not be as supportive as the secretLab, though. Have you looked at ergonomicchairfinder?

Has anyone noticed a weird bump in the upper back of the Blacklyte Athena Pro?

Update for you. After using that backpad for about a week, I think it is a workable solution. However, I got to try the Kraken Pro, and for me, it was a night-and-day difference. The adaptive air lumbar is significantly more comfortable and supportive, and I can tell the chair's construction is diff
