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

Need help finding an comfortable chair

I always try sitting in chairs before buying too, and the closest showroom I could find where I live was Sihoo Australia. But since you’re not in Australia, ahahaha, you can check IKEA. At IKEA, the MARKUS felt comfy with good back support, while MATCHSPEL was firmer and a bit snug. Really, focus on

Steelcase Gesture, Leap, or Amia

and will allow me to sit cross-legged periodically. I cannot do that neither on the Gesture @ work or my Leap V2, i could on my Ikea Markus, but to be honest, i gained 25kg since my trashed my Markus. Aside of that, i like both chairs but if i had to choose, i would take the Leap for the recline.

Suggestion between Sihoo m59as/m57 or Ikea Markus?

Same price, but shorter. I used this 5 years and durability is the one thing you don't have to worry about. Headres

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

Chair Recommendations, Markus and Hator

My last 2 chairs were Ikea Markus and its honestly not bad. I just have nothing to compare it to, because i currently still sitting in my 2nd <mark style="background-color: #FFFB3C" class="px-0.5 rounded">Markus</mark>. I think i had both of them for like 5-8 years. You mention that you are on the heavier side so you should consider its only for people up to 110 kg. T

İkea LÖPARBANA - Need advice

People in here will not say it, but for most peope Ikea’s Markus is a great chair for the price. Have you tried the new Markus Large? The old Markus has apparently been renamed to Markus Medium, and they introduced a new Large option. I ordered the Large version.
