Hello, I am considering investing in a Gaming Chair. My past experience with office chairs has not been the best, after about half a year of use the cushion under your bottom becomes flattened and is no longer comfortable especially for long hours of gaming, I'm wondering if this happens to gaming chairs as well. If you know the most comfortable and overall good pc chair please leave your suggestions. So overall I'm looking for a gaming chair that will not lose its cushion underneath my bottom and is comfortable for long hours of gaming. Thank you

Its not easy to choose a chair.
Prices range quite a lot but, a good question is how long will you actually be using it.
Personally I Use it WAY too much so I am willing to spend the big bucks for it.

In my case, I am interested in an "Ergohuman chair".

They go for different prices in different areas but its about 600 dollars for one.

Lower than that, you can find TONS on 100-200 dollar chairs that will be almost identical (even some IKEA office chairs are very good like this one http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/00103102/).

That Ikea one is what I currently have.

I use a secondhand office executive chair that can be adjusted for height and tilt etc. Check with a local office supplies co - they often have ex-display models on reduction.

As cats_Paw said Ergohuman chair are probably best " chairs". But in my personal opinion that kind of chairs are not the best one's. For me a lot of ergonomic are better but that's only my private review basing on chairs I tested.

I did research of a lot of chairs and placed reviews on my personal blog. If you want to check some cheaper than Ergohuman (but also good) chairs check it here:

Hope it help you pick the best chairs for you. But remember that design is not always most important thing : ;)Good luck.
