Personally, I realised I kinda hate fancy office chairs. I feel like they’re made for sitting perfectly still in one ideal ergonomic position and don’t let you move around. My all time favourite chair is the humble IKEA MARKUS. Its wide af cushion accommodates positions 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 12, althoug

Bought a new desk and a stool isn't going to work. Chair suggestions on the cheap that's comfortable for painting.

This depends on your body, recommendations are not going to help much. Ideally you would try it, but it's not possible with Amazon. As long as the chair has decent materials, like ok quality foam and no screws protruding, it can work if it fits your body proportions, despite the price. With more exp

Finding ergonomic / gaming chairs for 6ft+ tall people

Try out an IKEA Markus - I’m 6’4” and it’s perfect for me, going on 10 years with mine. Much cheaper than a lot of the other branded chairs too

Hobby Chair Recs

I actually just picked up a new desk chair from IKEA recently. The Markus - Large. They have this chair in 2 sizes and I have had the standard sized one for years as my home office/hobby chair, but I picked up a Large for my office at work and it's super comfortable, even for 8 hours a day. It's a b

My cozy space

https://www.ergohuman.com.au/product/ergohuman-ultra-fabric-mesh-combo-grey/ It’s a great chair, very adjustable, and best chair I’ve ever owned. I use an IKEA Markus for ages, then an Anda Seat Kaiser 3. Soon as I got this chair, I knew what support was meant to be. It’s like when you get a really

Best ergonomic chair under €200?

i ran into the same issue finding a tall-friendly chair in Europe without breaking the bank. tbh, at that price point and your height, the IKEA Markus is the go-to recommendation. it has a high back, headrest, and adjustable arms, and it's widely available in the Netherlands. Another option is the C

Best ergonomic chair under €500?

Check out online reviews for chairs that work for your height and weight. A lot of folks mention ergonomicchairfinder for picking ergonomic chairs based on user re

What type of neck collar do you recommend for sitting at a desk?

Sorry, just came across your comment/post while seeking solution for same issue I have too. I believe I’ve reached a point where condition gets more serious. Regarding gaming chair, the one mentioned seems well built having back and neck support in mind. Many chairs don’t have headrest. Also, cheap
