Am i wrong with the assumption that a correct posture + any 20bucks kitchen chair are enough for proper health and comfort ?.
(I used a stool pretty long aswell and it really forces you to maintain a good posture because you cant lean back / have a curvy back)

Bit of a long shot, but does anyone know what model of DXRacer this chair is?

Not sure if it comes with the head rest pillow and other bits as well as what the weight restrictions and features of the chair are.
Do you need a pole? I ask because your logical leaps are becoming logical vaults and your mental gymnastics are Olympic standard.

Can anyone speak to the durability of DXRacer chairs? I am particularly skeptical of the faux leather, since I have one of those chairs now and the material has worn away completely in just over a year. Keep in mind, I'm a skinny guy, so it's not like I put any strain on it.

Anyway, I have the option of getting the faux leather or fabric, and I'm just wondering which one will last me longer.

Right so I'm around 6'1" / 6'2" and around 103kg (Working on that). What sort of chairs should I be looking at? Some of the ones I've seen are the Herman Miller Mirra, Steelcase Leap and Ergohuman V1 chair. These seem to be the best priced for me personally new and/or used. The problem is there is nowhere in my area where I can try these chairs so I'm trying to find the general consensus on which would be the best for me.

I have my DX Racer Commander since half a year and i'm very glad to have brought one in the first place. As far as the leather goes i can't make out any wearing down so far. I am skinny as well though and half a year is no long time for any means so yea that's only my experience

just go big, go hard. get an Embody by Herman Miller. i made the investment 4 years ago and my quality of life has been supremely satisfying. i've gone on to become successful, get engaged with the love of my life, finish my studies, and reach diamond league. not sure if the chair was the causation for this but it surely helped.

Hmm, should I get a used Steelcase Leap or a used Herman Miller Mirra? The used Aeron would've been nice but I need a size C and they're hard to find used in the UK or they're quite a bit more than a Leap or Mirra

Maybe not the best thread but not sure where else to ask:

My chair is at least 10cm too low (i can rest my feet flat on the ground far too easily and when i relax upper body even slightly, my elbow is lower than the desk, which means that my forearm is forced to make a very uncomfortable and restrictive contact with the desk - and because i have to angle my arm upwards to get it above the desk, my wrist floats inches above where i want it to be - and there's nothing i can do about that unless i sit with tight posture, which is impossible for more than an hour or two - yes i did try working out etc, yes it helps but there's no way you can sit perfectly straight for 14 hours. I had to take breaks and stack pillows because i was literally unable to reach my mouse playing the HOTS campaign at a slow pace by the middle-end because i was sat too low)

It's pretty new, looked at many chairs, they all had almost identical max heights. I thought one with pretty much max height available would be ok, but not really. Too low. My desk does not seem particularly high at all and because i can easily put my feet on the ground (i am not even 6ft) it does not seem like getting a lower desk or setup is an option.

Im looking to raise height by like 10cm+, tried stacking multiple pillows on top of the seat but it's really weird to sit on and uncomfortable, does not work too well at all on a chair that has wheels and leans back. I tried going back to a cheap solid back wooden chair, but that's not really any better and it's kinda a massive waste of money to buy a chair and be unable to use it for things that require good posture (osu, sc2.. kinda important to be able to use mouse optimally, which requires the right elbow height)

Is there any kind of easy option that i am missing or am i doomed to a life of awkwardly messing around and rearranging pillows every couple hours to i can use my mouse properly?

I mean like even at full height with a pillow, my feet are uncomfortably close to the ground and my elbow's not high enough.

Just measured, its about half a meter (~1.64 feet) off the ground. I'd need another 15cm for my elbow with upper body relaxed to be comfortably above desk

Edit: Temporary decent fix, folded and stacked 3 towels. Much much much better than pillow's.

I recently bought a new chair and it would 100% recommend it to anybody. It has great height for your head to rest, great lower back support so you can sit for a while without any discomfort, very adjustable in height depending on how tall you are. Also it has a great mesh back to allow for a bit of breathing so you dont get all sweaty and stuck to the back.

Its £125 check it out if you have an Ikea nearby:

I got him he sucks, really after 1 1/2 years so many problems.. he tries to kill me almost everyday.
I would really love to have a DX RACER. You should buy one too.

Best i ever had (have it right now).

can lay back for resting while watching stream, holds your back in the 'right' position and can be good for competitive playing.

I get really hot when I sit in a leather chair. I currently have a fabric chair that doesn't really heat up as much. Is mesh comfortable enough that it's better than fabric, in the scenario of getting a Ergohuman ME7ERG? Would it be more comfortable to get the Ergohuman that has a leather seat but mesh back? I'm not sure if it's more of the leather back or the leather seat that makes me hot, or maybe it's both?
