between three gaming chair models
You should look into the blacklyte Athena but out of the 3 you mentioned I’d go with the enki.

Blacklyte Athena Pro thoughts/suggestions
How's the backrest's lumbar support? another thread mentioned that it is terrible and needed a small cheap cushion... and not worth getting the pro version? https://www.reddit.com/r/gamingchairs/comments/1p02wn6/blacklyte_athena_pro_chair_review/ what's your experience so far?

5'6 and trying to pick a new chair!
I'm Canadian so over $714 for a chair from a brand who's customer service is horrible is a no go for me. I am debating this atm though. https://blacklyte.ca/products/blacklyte-athena-pro-gaming-chair?variant=50444777881906

should i get this?
To clarify further, my wife says my blacklyte athena pro is too "firm" and her preference is a couch like plush chair.

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

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
How "plush" and comfy is the backrest? I bought a Blacklyte Athena Pro not long ago and ended up selling it cause the backrest was as good as a wooden board and made my back so painful I had to go back to my old and battered AK Racing Core Series LX Plus. I really like the backrest on the AK Racing

Any thoughts on Blacklyte Athena chairs?
I really want people to know what they are getting into buying their products. I tried to give that Athena Pro chair a chance; I really tried big time. But it really wasn’t worth it! My original review was a 2-star one because the seat is incredibly HARD, especially for your back! The backrest is ro
