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.

Reintroducing sitting?

I've found that the chair is the most important thing, and not the pillows, I use an Ikea Markus. The thing is that the chair needs to have a proper lumbar support, so most of the tension will go on the lumbar area and not on the pelvic area. An electric heating pad on the sitting area also helps.

For years I've used the IKEA Markus chair (I've worn out two of them and on my 3rd). If you have an IKEA nearby probably worth checking one out. Very

My 11 year old requested a gaming set up for Christmas and I think I may have nailed it. Thanks for everyone’s help ! (Still waiting for the gaming chair) lol

Has anyone purchased furniture from NITORI? How was it?

Did you get the one with reclining footrest? I was considering their office chairs too and was split between one of their model with the footrest and ikea Markus but in the end I went with IKEA instead because of the backrest

Need some honest opinions on the Omni SE before dropping cash

while it may not be an exact match, i have the regular version and it is quite abit better than the ikea markus chair i have been rocking for years. i don't really use the massage feature but being able to adjust the lumbar is a really nice touch. and since i got it for an insane price, i can't real
