I sit for the majority of my 12 hour shifts at work, and I game a lot at home in a cheap chair. My mom has a degenerative back disease and her physical therapist gave her a lumbar cushion to use. She uses it all the time and says it helps a great deal. Worth looking into if you don't want an entirely new chair. | ||

I just hate this DXRacer fad and hate how people can justify spending $500-$1000 every five or so years on a PC and phone but can't justify the same amount on a chair purchase for a lifetime. DXRacer isn't available in Canada so no I haven't used it at all. There's a limited number of dxracer models at memory express http://www.memoryexpress.com/Search/Products?Search=dxracer I know the richmond BC branch has a bunch out on display, not sure about the other locations. They're definitely not bad but sitting in them for 30s is a long way from sitting in them for 8 hours. | ||

You could also incorporate 45 minutes of lifting into your day, after 2 months of doing deadlifts every week your lower back will snap your chairs neck if it still insists on inflicting pain to you. | ||

Incredibly daft thing to say. You think that further irritating an already inflamed area is actually going to help? Please, let's not further derail this thread. | ||

That's the cheap model and a chair without seat depth is... still considered shit by me no matter how much of everything else you have -.- No reason to buy that when I can go to Ikea or Staples to get basically the same thing with a significantly longer warranty and save on shipping charges. | ||

http://www.dxracer.net/art63_dxracer-chair-oh-d03-nr.html Looks like 2 of the same chair, just different color. The specs have height-adjustable listed. I might be looking at the wrong chairs, but they're the only D03's I see on their site. | ||

Most office chairs, even the $30 ones are height adjustable. Or do you not understand what seat depth is and that's why you're confusing it with height? It's the depth of the seat. If its too shallow then you won't have enough support for your thighs so it puts more pressure on your butt. Too deep then you won't have proper back support or you put pressure on the back of your knee. | ||

Ah, that was my original understand of seat depth, but it didn't seem like a feasible part of the seat to be adjustable. I guess that's why the more expensive chairs are -- more expensive. What is optimal? Just barely not touching the crease of the knee? | ||

Its also working vs "physiologic wearing away " sry for bad english but the dmg that happens from just using no material error where you have a garantuee. I build a chair and got 2 new for free over time with this insurance !!! its rly worth it if you use your chair alot !! my chair: ![[image loading]](http://img.dooyoo.de/DE_DE/175/bueromoebel/buerostuhl/direktzugreifen-buerostuhl-chefsessel-business-boss-leder.jpg) | ||

General guideline is that the distance between the back of your knee and the front of the seat should be the width of your four fingers (roughly three inches). | ||

I sit for the majority of my 12 hour shifts at work, and I game a lot at home in a cheap chair. Actually, like others have said, working out can definitely help with back and neck pain. As long as you don't way overdo it and try to lift way more than you're capable of, you can benefit a bunch from it. Well I'm pretty convinced against dxracer now... As one other asked, is there a decent goto chair below 500$? I saw the ergohuman but I didn't like the look  Or are the Steelcase chairs really just that much higher quality? I can afford the leap, think (or gesture? That one looks cool to me) but I'm just wondering if the price increase is really worth it. Edit: it seems like my limited research says the answer is no but I'm certainly still open to suggestions. | ||
