Gaming chairs vs office chairs — settled once and for all

Jun 7, 2026 at 6:57am #1

Sold my Secretlab Titan and bought a used Herman Miller Aeron. Best decision I've ever made for my back.

Gaming chairs are marketing. A good office chair with proper lumbar support will outlast any 'racing seat' design. My Aeron is 12 years old and still perfect.

If you're on a budget, IKEA Markus is genuinely decent for the price.

Herman Miller Aeron gang! Got mine second-hand for about 400 quid. Best investment after my GPU.

Steelcase Leap is another great option if you can find one used. Office liquidation sales are goldmines.

Can confirm the IKEA Markus is solid. Had mine 5 years, no issues. Way better than the 200 quid 'gaming chair' I had before that fell apart after 18 months.

Here's one for you that's wild and out there how about neither. I used to use a stool to sit on.. what it would do is force me to move around a little after a hour or so.
