Recommend me /g/-approved chairs, please.I'm thinking about getting the IKEA Järvfjället as soon as it's back in stock near me.I move around a lot while I work from home, but I probably spend more than eight hours in my chair throughout the day and night (coding during the day, playing games during the evening). So I'd like something that's able to recline and be cozy during the evenings.
Reminder: You can check out the annual 10-K report of any publicly-traded company to see what its biggest competitors are.
Hopefully you've tried the chairs out.I personally found the low-back and armless Langfjall to be for me - 182 cm tall, but again, not all bodies are the same.
>>79681314that is a good chair and you should get it and delete this dumb thread. bro its a chair lmao just sit in it and see if its comfy like lol come on bro like bro... bruh
>>79681319Thanks, anon. I've wanted to avoid the Herman Miller meme since their shit isn't worth buying unless it's through a business or used. I'll take a look at the brands listed in the image, hopefully one of them has something that'll be comfortable during the day and cozy in the evening.
>>79681314Buy an IKEA Markus instead. Essentially the same chair but a bit cheaper and you can't adjust the lumber support or armrests as much I believe. However they're built like a tank and will keep your ass comfy for a decade. I've had mine for 5 years and it's great.
The Ikea chairs are horrible ergonomically. They just got popular with poorfags. If you spent 500 bucks on your graphics card, 1000 on a phone and 2000 on a TV you have no excuse for cheaping out on a chair that you will use WAY longer.
>>79681314Sitting on one right now, had it for almost 2 years, go get it boi.>>79681369Used to have a Markus before this one, it's just plain terrible compared to Järvfjället, not bad but this one is so much better.
I've bought a 500 bucks chair with mesh back because it was a great deal, did I make a mistake? I've never had a mesh chair before so I'm wondering if it's comfy enough.
>>79681336I did, but I'm going to try it out one last time before buying it, unless I find something that seems like a better price/performance before it's back in stock.The chair you mentioned looks comfortable, but I'd prefer something that has a headrest. I like reclining while I play games at my PC.>>79681347bruh>>79681369That's currently what I've had for over hour years now. It's almost perfect, but the lumbar needs to be slightly lower, I wish I could more the chair's seat forward a bit, and the headrest needs to be up a couple inches. The Järvfjället can do all that. Although, I have read that the Järvfjället can become uncomfortable on your upper back after sitting in it for awhile, which I can't really test for.
>>79681405That's a fair point, what kind of chair do you use? Are there any brands you'd recommend the most?
>>79681424>I have read that the Järvfjället can become uncomfortable on your upper back after sitting in it for awhileReally depends on your back, that's the fucking catch with this chair.You're either sitting it like it's cast onto your body or it will be a pain.
>>79681411>Sitting on one right now, had it for almost 2 years, go get it boi.Does anything about it become uncomfortable for you after sitting on it for many hours straight?
>>79681421From my understanding, it might not feel better and it might even worse than good cushioning. The point of the mesh seems to be for breathability and longevity. Mesh seems like it'd have less longevity, to me, than a good cushion, but I've read that good mesh lasts much longer.That's probably why Apple went with the ugly mesh on their new headphones.
>>79681438Any reliable office chair brand that you see in good companies. I would recommend German brands as this is where I live, not sure what the availability would be for you. Dauphin or Interstuhl for example are fantastic and affordable. I think in America Steelcase and Miller are pretty big and there's a big used market there for them.
>>79681452To me, no.I heard that others don't like it. It's really a hit or miss, I do not know how Ikea handles returns, I'd give it a shot if you can send it back.
>>79681314IKEA Järvfjället is KINO. Best programming/business chair. I have two.
>>79681319>Steelcase caring about ikea chairsBig yikes.
>>79681547>I have two.Same, unironically. White and black.
If you're willing to buy used, I'd reccomend the Steelcase Leap V2 if you find it for the right price. I got it for around the price of the Jarv and find it much more comfortable. It's way more adjustable too
>>79681369Markus is the worst chair I've ever sat on and believe me I sat on some cheap shitty chairs. I can't comprehend how anyone can find it neutral, let alone comfortable, when it pushes your head forward with its back.
I have a Järvfjället. Its great chair because its comfy, you can lean back a lot, and the hand rests are removable which is great for sim racing.
>paying 29,99 plus tip extra for armrestsLel
I picked up a second hand leap v2 and a new gesture after trying two Autonomous chairs that were both terrible. Super happy with the gesture especially. I've also heard herman miller aeron and embody and haworth fern are good buys
>>79681314That's the exact chair I have, it's comfortable even after a long coding session. Would recommend.
>>79681314Why the hell would you ask for recommendations for a chair? Go to a store like Staples, and sit in their chairs to find the one that fits you the best.
>>79681314I got one few days agoIt's not as adjustable as I thought it would be but still, you shouldn't find it too hard to get yourself comfortable in it
I have a Järvfjället but in cloth. Anyone know how to clean it?
>>79681314Had one for a few years now. It is comfy and if you keep a good posture nothing will hurt, but for me keeping a good posture is hard and if I'm on a "relaxed" position usually I'll start noticing discomfort, usually in the ass or the back.For the price it is ok. Good in the summer too, if you live in a hot area.If I had to buy one now, I'll probably go for the HATTEFJÄLL.
any redflag on the logitech hermann embody ? regular embody is 500€ more expensive in my country, second hand market is not a thing
>>79682378>never ever any used steelcases with a headrest
>>79682869How adjustable is it? Does it lean back far?
People keep saying to buy a used, high-quality office chair. How the fuck am I supposed to find the good used ones near me?
>>79683737Leaning is probably the most restricted, you can't just put it 90 degrees down, but that's fineI don't know the numbers but imagine leaning a bit further than you would on an average couch, it's pretty relaxing, especially if you have something to put your feet on
>>79683861Pretty useful thenHow about the armrests? Kind of put off that they're just plastic instead of padded
>>79681314if you want to kill your back the get the markus or that one in your pic
What are my options in the £300-500 range? I'm willing to spend more than Ikea money, but not willing to fess up for Herman Miller/Humanscale. That said... there Herman Miller Sayl is right at the top end of my budget, but I dunno.
>>79683877The plastic flexes a bit so it's not as bad as if it was rigidI'm fine when I place my forearms on them for a longer period of time but my elbows start aching pretty quickly, so finding the right position can be a bit tricky
>>79681314i notice the product details don't say how much weight it's rated for.
>>79681498>I would recommend German brandsi believe Giger's Harkonnenstuhl only costs $30,000.
>>79681314Get a good laptop, work from bed, use good posture when sitting in a chair. Don't slouch or bend.
>>79684074good thing I'm not a fat piece of shit
Yoga ball and a convertible standing desk.
>>79681314The best chair is no chair.
>>79684270Fugg that even kinda looks like me, minus my yoked arms.t. rugrat
>>79681314avoid it at any cost if you are a manlet under 1,80m
>>79683851You can try looking for a local office supply or office furniture dealer. Many of them resale used office furniture or may even have sample chairs that are no longer in production. Worth a check. Most are willing to sell to anyone with cash on hand. Just know your prices because they will fuck you over if they think they can.
Should I get the gesture with or without headrest?
>>79684270not true
>>79685907How tall are you? I'm >>79682378 and am 5'10"ish. Any taller than 6" and it may be uncomfortable with the headrest, though I haven't actually tried one with it
>>79681314I live in the middle of bumfuck nowhere so its hard for me to try chairs.What's a good chair with nice amount of ass space. Assume I'm a fatass, tho the truth is I just like putting up my feet on the chair or leaning way back. Although I'm not sure what's worse to say
>>79681314Get something that's shaped like this. They're very comfy.
What's the ideal body height for peak chair sitting performance? Too short and your feet can't reach the floor properly. Too tall and your spine gets murdered by backrests that aren't shaped for you. Where is the goldilocks zone?
>>79686743im 5'10
>>79687084If you're buying new anyway then go for the headrest. I bought mine "new in box" from eBay for $600 though as it was basically impossible to find a second hand gesture with headrest.
>>79683975I have a Herman Miller Setu and love it. Classy, clean looks. Its mesh makes ass-sweat a non issue. I initially bought one a few years ago because my company has them in some of their conference rooms and they're awesome. I've used Aerons at work too but don't like them as much as the Setu because they're uglier, more expensive, and have too much fidgety shit on them (adjustable everything). With COVID, I bought another one for my wife to work from home comfortably too.
>>79686816if you have half a grand to spend and are willing to wait i would check out secretlabs they got some nice chairs but everything is sold out atm
X-Chair or OM Seating. Best chairs ever.
anyone have any experience with AKRacing or similar chairs with other branding? thinking of getting the pro version, since that came recommended from a friend but i have no idea what chairs are actually good
>>79686848why are these seats so uncomfortable? why are car seats so uncomfortable?
>>79687425Gamer chairs are garbage. The philosophy behind them is just to take a normal ass chair and put a shitload of padding everywhere.>>79687717I have Recaro seats in my car. They're very comfortable for driving, however I wouldn't want one adapted for a computer chair. I don't sit at my computer like I do in my car. That's just dumb.
>>79687330>secretlabsHow are secretlabs different from any other garbage gaming chair?>rhetorical question; they're not.
>>79687807atleast they are better than what>>79687425is buyingbut im biased since i already own a secretlabs chair and think they are fine
>>79681547>>79681314dont these net meshes break easily
>>79687150have you owned a chair with a headrest before? is it worth it?
>>79681405Any recommendations around the $500 budget then? Ergohuman maybe?
>>79681359>their shit isn't worth buying unless it's through a business or usedYeah not worth it to buy a chair that will probably stay in mint condition for 30+ years.
>>79681314Literally just find an old office chair from the dump and don't get some gaymer piece of ugly trash
>>79681314used herman miller aeron from an office liquidation. it doesn't get any better than that in terms of value.
>>79681314I have Järvfjället.Well, it's IKEA. Cheap and unreliable.I guess it's worth it's price, but if your budget allows something better, see other variants.The head pad is not, hand pads are easy to get scratched. When you put the chair up, it "sinks" a bit when you sit on it. The tilt mechanism is sensitive to the vertical position. Tilt fixation is unreliable. The back pad is kinda strange, don't like it.
>>79688161The problem is that the areon has hard as fuck lip on the edge of the seat that leads to poor posture or cutting off circulation. No, I am not fat, its really easy for skinny people to cut off circulation.
I do stocks and I made a lot of money off of Gamestop stock, I can now buy an office chair and write it off on my taxes, should I get a herman miller embody?
>>79682378Based>>796867436'2" no headrest model. Chair was worth every penny my company paid for it
>>79687717It's not a car seat you idiot.
>>79681314Get a decent 24 hour rated chair from an office furniture company.
>>79687964You mostly don't use it but it is nice to relax back on
>>79687717Bucket seats are made for safety not comfort. Why retards thought it'd be a good idea to make office chairs out of them is beyond me.
Is a steelcase leap V2 the one to get? Or is it the Gesture?
>>79681314get this
>>79690622Get laid.
>>79684270I can smell this picture
>>79690626The maximum safe UDP payload is 508 bytes. This is a packet size of 576 (the "minimum maximum reassembly buffer size"), minus the maximum 60-byte IP header and the 8-byte UDP header. Even with this maximum size, it will still easily fit through your anus and move through your bowels.
>>79687425ikke kjøp din jævla kukk
>>79681405>nigger wanna buy a scarf for 1k$? You are using it way longer than your GPU so pay up.The length of something you use has zero correlation with the price of other products
>>79681314>IKEA Järvfjälleti have onethe fabric is not great quality (friction on the seat especially is pretty low, so its somewhat slippery), and the seat doesnt tilt with the backrest, nor does it have padded arm-restsi'd recommend the faux leather Markus instead, had it for 11 years prior to this Järvfjället and it was more comfortable with better friction on the seat, padded arm rests, tilting seat
>>79687936no?
>>79683122I liked it a lot too, unfortunately no headrest made be doubt buying it at the time. Ikea chairs are always sold out here
>>79681314I got one of these for €40 new and even at that price I regret the purchase. Make sure you sit in it before you buy
>>79683028Tiny bit of soap in water bro. Just use a damp rag
>>79681405>If you spent 500 bucks on your graphics card, 1000 on a phone and 2000 on a TVWhat if I spent $250 on a graphics card, $200 on a phone, and $340 on a TV?
>>79690063the shape looks like the car seat in my camry
>ikeaoof
>>79694639Then your expectation of the products lifespan and features should be modified for the budget.
>>79694789>argos
reminder that people like >>79681405 are 5'6" or/and obese goblinos that feel uncomfortable in a chair designed by nordic chads for an average European. Yes if you're some abhorrent freak of nature you need highly customizable chairs, IKEA ones are indeed more generic but they are not of inferior quality, I mean they're fucking office chairs, what do you think cost a 1000 bucks on five pieces of plastic and a leather cover? Nothing, other cair manufacturers just can't compete with IKEA's volume so they jack up the price and target more niche audiences like gamers and manlets
>>79681314Get a gamer chair, they're great!
>>79694789imagine shiling a chair that has armests connected to the back
>>796962521000 bucks is decent for something you sit in every single day
How's the autonomous myochair? I've heard mixed things
>>79681314Get a long ass monitor arm and the comfiest lounge chair you can find. You can have your typical upright desk chair on one side of the desk for work then move the monitor to hang over the side where you have the lounge chair for reading, watching movies and gaming
>>79696391I don't recommend Autonomous chairs after dealing with two of their chairs being shitty and rickety
>>79681314go to staples and buy the cheapest chair that they have for sale, should be around 25 dollars
>>79696646>>79696391Pic related is their newer Kinn chair that they replaced their last one with before I jumped to a steelcase
>>79696646Yeah the price seems to good. Would rather spend more just once instead of replacing
>>79683028>>79681314>>79681547>Järvfjälletis it true that you cant adjust the hardness of the fallback?
Has anyone tried the Staples Tempur-Pedic chairs? I'm caught between one of those and a used Herman Miller Mirra for $280.
>>79685907Absolutely not. Head rests just get in the way, awkward friction. If you actually need to rest your head then get the fuck off your PC and go do something else.
>>79684074it says tested for 110kg
>>79697115It is indeed a true fact.
