Buro Aura (got mine with armrests) cost on the visa 375 dollars cost of comfortable gaming priceless. btw anyone who thinks that im nuts i spent more money on the psyo bills due to a terrible chair than this one cost. It got to the point where my psyo figured out what was casuing my intense excruiting pain and then promptly orded me to buy a new one. Ever since then i have had no problems | ||

The main ergonomical problem with 90 % of what you can wee in Ikea surprisingly isn't the wacky mechanics and nonexistent sturdiness (those ARE a big problem, but can be tolerated), but a vey simple and stupid thing: armrests. When sitting, you should assume the followin posture: whole feet on the ground, legs straight up from there, 90 degrees in knees, another 90 degrees where you sit a the rest of the body straight up. From this posture, you want to put your hands so that they again form a rather 90 degree angle in your elbow and this elbow rests on the armrest! This last point is impossible to achieve (in the right posture!) on most Ikea chairs as the armrest is simply too short. Of course, the feasibility of the right posture depends also on the table, if your table height is wrong (usually it is too high), then a correct chair will not help you too much - more so if the table desk is too thick (some manufactureres nowadays even include a "handy" shelf under the desk - it is probably to put money for physiotherapy). | ||

What do you want a headrest for? Gonna stick it in your car? Most of the time you will probably be sitting forward. Get one that feels right that has height and back adjustment, feels good at the back of your knees, bum and back. Expensive does not always mean good. There's over priced stuff everywhere. If you want to impress somebody impress yourself first. | ||

And yeah about the armrests. Its the hidden performance increaser. Won't see it in manuals about proper typing posture either if I recall since its mostly a gamer thing but if you can perfect the art of elbows on rests, wrists straight and unpressured, back straight, then you are in posture nirvana. My favorite player to watch is MarineKing, he has amazing posture. And I think its the number 1 secret to playing games for a lifetime without any wrist injury. I have a $1400 chair from the 1980's but its about time to get a new one (handed down). But a lot of really good stuff is made of leather and my cats are feelers and I cant train them out of it for the life of me /frowntown. | ||

You can probably find a Steelcase Leap for around $400-600 second hand in the United States on eBay, Craigslist, or even office liquidators. Not sure if that's totally cat-proof but its a lot better than your typical pleather executive chair from Officeworks or whatever budget office supply store you have in the States. | ||

There is more too. The current chair im trying to emulate is enormous. Made of a ton of steal. And the threading on the fabric is incredibly taut and thick. And its lumbar is simply sublime. These chairs look rinky dink. So its a bit of a, shock I guess. | ||

IKEA chairs are complete shit, you will be lucky to get 2 years use out of it, then you will back to square one. To be honest, any $100 to $200 chairs are rip offs and will be a throw away in 1-2 years. For a chair that you will use everyday, spend big. http://ergohuman.com/ If you can't afford a Herman Miller etc... then have a look @ ergohuman. | ||

Im not sure how tall/short you are, but i can see what your saying if your under 5'5, but i really love the position of the chair and how it feels. Personal preference i guess.

They are not really comparable to ones that costs thousands of pounds, but for the price they are unmatched in quality and comfortability. My previous chair was a hand me down from Ikea and that lasted around 8 years. I agree that a one spend is good, but there is no need to go super overboard. | ||
