MARKUS

Just buy ikea stuff I have a markus chair, finally a chair that is properly supporting my back

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.

Try Markus office chair from Ikea. Bit expensive but worth the investment and helps your back and posture very effectively

I don't have any major issues like you cited, but I do have a bad back and really need a very supportive chair because I sit 8+ hours a day for work. 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

Ikea chairs like Markus/Styrspel are probably best value for money decent support.

I just commented that the Markus from IKEA is a safe bet haha, gaming chairs are death traps for your back (and wallet)

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

I have this exact setup but with an IKEA Markus office chair. No back pain but sometimes some hip pain if I do an endurance race. I feel it’s unavoidable in most setups like this. My chair base sits way more flat and no sloped back like yours then the back is basically straight up and down vs yours

under 100 for a decent ergo chair is tough tbh. at that budget look for a used IKEA MARKUS on marketplace - usually 60-80 and has good lumbar. new options like Hbada ergonomic chair run about 90 but build quality is meh. for sim racing you really want fixed back not recline motion or your spine move

ngl i had the same mess with a racing style gaming chair. my neck was wrecked after 2 hours. those bucket seats push your shoulders forward and the lumbar pillow rarely hits right. what helped me was switching to an ergonomic office chair instead of another 'gaming' one. look at the IKEA Markus if y
