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

My Logitech collection is growing :)
The Ikea Markus is shit. If it's fits you out of the box that's great, but for the majority of users having an adjustable base, adjustable arm rests and adjustable lumbar support is a requirement so chairs actually fit us.

What chair do y'all use
Ikea Markus. Skip anything with the gaming label, office chairs are infinitely more comfortable. The arms are easily removed for simming, originally why I got it. r/OfficeChairs

Ich bins, der monatliche User der nach Stühlen fragt (Backforce V Plus)
I currently have an Ikea Markus, been using it about 10 years. I don't like the armrests, they dig into my legs and also I have to remove them to be able to play guitar. I'm now saving up for the Backforce One Plus. It's the only premium chair I've found with flip down armrests. Unfortunately I can'

Best chair for WFH (₹15k budget) that can recline fully / sleep?
I bought my sibling this very nice featherlite chair. They are manufacturers whose chairs are used in offices of other chair manufacturers. Best in India. On the other hand, if you can live with non adjustable armrests, the IKEA Markus chair is very good. I have that in my office.

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

Gaming vs office chair - replacing my embody
The Embody definitely isn't for everyone, especially if you want to lounge. I switched to a generic ergonomic mesh chair from a local shop after my back started killing me in a "racing" style seat. If you're leaning toward Ikea, the Markus is a classic for a reason, though the armrests are a bit sti

What chair do y’all like for practicing?
99% of my playing is sitting at my computer, usually while watching something. I have an Ikea Markus office chair without the arm rests, and it's basically perfect. Highly recommend.

Seriously will someone suggest a brand that doesn't suck
I hate it. I used it at work. I like my own Secretlab Titan gaming chair more. Or any gaming chair that allows armrest adjustments and more tilting features than the Ikea Markus.
