Gaming Chair VS Ergonomic Chair? Which Should You Get?

- Have you been considering a gaming chair vs. an ergonomic style office chair?
In today's video I share my opinion on differences between the DXRacer OH/IF11/NR vs. the Autonomous ErgoChair 2.
In November of 2015 around Black Friday I finally decided to take the plunge on getting myself a gaming chair. I retired my old cheap Staples office chair and was super excited for what was to come.
I found over the last 3 years I've definitely had more issues with back pain and overall posture.
While I can't blame this entirely on the DxRacer chair I just found for me, the aesthetic looks of a gaming chair were not worth the sacrifice for something that would help support my back and posture.
While most gaming chairs are large, look awesome, and have tons of adjustments they are not exactly made for comfort.
This past year I decided to finally pickup an Ergonomic chair from Autonomous, the Ergochair 2.
Personally the built in lumbar support, neck rest and mesh back make this a better choice for me.
Doing core/back strength exercise combined with switching over to this chair I've noticed a large improvement in my day to day life when it comes to back pain.
I'd say if you are only gaming or at the computer for up to 3-4 hours a day, a gaming chair is perfect for you.
If you spent 8+ hours a day behind a desk, do yourself a favor and pickup the Ergochair 2.
As someone who works full time from home at a desk all day and spends nights gaming at the PC, it's an absolute must have.

Dear, I want to purchase the caster wheels www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BLRZTCY the office chair caster wheels set of 5 fitting it ？
@@vekingleo8525 I would contact autonomous about that
Have you seen the Altwork Station? I have one and it by far is the best all-around workstation I have used. It's not just a "chair" which is what I like and doubles as a stand-up desk. I use it for gaming as well as 8-12 hours a day working in it.
Ergo chair all the way. I have an ergo at work, and I bought a gaming chair for home several years ago and didn't like it. Gaming chairs just don't work for me because they don't conform to my body. I think positive reviews for gaming chairs are inflated because they're mostly used by young people who don't have back problems or aches and pains to worry about. So they probably aren't really going to care about comfort as much. As I get older, having a comfortable chair is more and more important.
Agreed!
Im Young (24) never had one of these gaming chairs. I had an executive chair which was incredible but the feet broke. However, every time i tried one of these "gaming chairs" i never liked them because they were very stiff. I dont have perfect posture and i slouch a lot, but i sit on a chair for a very long time so one of these ergonomic chairs is worth it. People buy the gaming chairs mostly because of looks because they dont really offer anything special in terms of quality. Thats the only plus the guy in the video was able to show as well
which ergo chair would you recommend?
Hello I am a young person and i would like to get the slim Ergo chair rather the bulky gaming chair.
Just go buy them from China, Autonomous is just a reseller who marks up the price.
I feel like "gaming chair" is just a marketing scheme
Ya definitely is haha
bro shut up czcams.com/video/teEhc18hZTA/video.html
its totally worth if u can do this
@@Adrian-py7go you shut up czcams.com/video/dQw4w9WgXcQ/video.html
Kerchoo 😭 you’re a madman
Nah its how the chair looks. gamery rgb n dat
Cat scratches and cat hair make this the most real life use review I've seen.
4 cats, it's inevitable
Exactly. We need more 'real' reviews like this from real users. Professional reviewers dont seem to get it right.
"nothing is ripping or tearing..." - Doom Guy has left the video.
instantly thought about Doom when he said that :D
rip and tear
Yes, I was extremely disappointed by that.
CV-19 has resigned my life to getting wasted watching videos on chairs. Cheers!!!!
I am watching videos about chairs because I need to buy chair for me to do online classes for 1 year. So yeah
cheers!!!
Same here. Next 6 months have to work from home.
I literally had this thought while watching and then towards the end of the video I looked down at the comments and this was the first one I seen. 😂
Hey but now someone who's dying of cancer might live a few days longer...
You have to remember that office chairs (the good ones) are made with a lot of research from chiropractors and doctors where gaming chairs are made with a lot of research by the marketing team you decide for yourself do u want to be comfy or stylish
Evil Boy199 what if I want to be comfy and stylish 🤔
I would not consider those gaming chairs as stylish.. Unless I was 12 years old.
@@eddieg2934 add RGB to the chair!
Adding RGB to a chair helps with back problems, help you game better and makes you look expensive.
@@eddieg2934 Get a Vertagear Triiger.
Chiropracy is a pseudoscience.
The investigation is in part by bioengeneer and medics
At 7minutes, a few minutes in the ergo chair review, you convince me to buy one! I was having back pain and was planning to get gaming chair. You just save me!
Awesome! If you use my link in the description they give you some $ off.
The sides on the racer style chairs push my shoulders forward, the solid back makes my back sweat and the sides on the "cushion" keeps my legs too close together inducing horrible ball sweat, not to mention that the seat is so solid that it makes my tail bone and ass muscles sore.
I'm getting a mesh back office chair to replace the outdoor camping chair I'm currently using because the DX Racer is so rubbish.
I highly recommend the autonomous chair. If you do decide to grab one here is my link for it: www.noshameincome.com/ergochair2 Thanks
@@NoShameIncome You sold me on this chair. I hope it's really good! Otherwise you will hear me back. hehe.
@@goku445 You will like it, I really enjoy it now that I've switched
Iv been using a gaming chair for 4 years now. Literally everything you listed has happened to me. I injured my back last year at work and now I just can’t sit on the gaming chair without pain plus all the other negatives. I’m going to invest in one of those ergonomic office chairs. They are deff more comfortable and don’t have the negative stigma gaming chairs have sort of gained with popularity.
goku how do you like it?
Driving a car with with bucket seats with big bolsters makes me not want to just buy another seat like that to sit in at home.
It’s only people , not driving cars like that buying these seats bro 😂
@@stephenmac23 what is with the , its not needed

CEO of english
Yeah, I did the mistake of buying a "racing" gaming chair. I returned it after two days because it started to hurt my hip and legs.
This review really help a lot especially for someone like me who is currently on a verge to grab a gaming chair, i prefer comfortability rather than cool looking, if the ergo chair lumbar support can be adjust that is a big plus for me. Again thank you for the review between the 2 kind of chair 🙏❤️
I only spent a couple of hours a day looking at Computer and still think that ergo type chain is the way to go!
It is more confortable. It is easier to change you position in it and still have that support. Allso the mesh keeps you cooler vs. Fake leather that stick to you back during the hot summer day!
And those mesh chairs actully look bretty good and when at the same time Are superior in comfort factor... there is no choise to me Otherwise!
Great review man! In the market for a chair and the back problems are beyond relatable. Thanks for sharing!
No problem!
thank you, very unbiased review definitely not sponsored, strongly recommend to watch this video to anyone thats looking for the best chair like me now that we are spending most of our time at home
Great information, very informative for people specially with back problems. Nice job...:) 👍👍
honestly, I couldnt care less about comments about my chair. I care more about my body and not being in pain....
Thank you for helping make a decision. My computer chair is slowly murdering my back and posture.
Frrrrrrrrrrrrrr
One thing I might also recommend is that if you're on a desk and typing a lot, you are prone to wrist and elbow injuries. Find a chair that has retractable arm rests or none at all. I really find my current chair annoying. I have to tuck my arms in so I avoid having to hurt my elbow and shoulder on the armrest when I'm on a controller or in a neutral, video watching position.
Yeah definitely
Or get a chair that can adjust the armrests. I personally get pain with no elbow support
@@deepenproductions true. there are ones with retractable ones. usually with more moving parts it becomes more expensive unfortunately. so best just get one youd be happy with for a long time
@@NoShameIncome you should be proude of your gaming chair I have a 2$ plastic chair
"Looking cool" Is subjective. For me that gaming chair is atrocious and the ergonomic chairs are usually more beautiful than the gaming ones.
it looks classy, some gaming chairs are actually good imo but they are usually the really expensive ones
@Luci K that was my exact thought process, I got an office chair too
Thank you for the review. I work from home and have been looking for another chair, as my lower back has been killing me. This looks like a great option! Going to buy this from your link.
Awesome, I appreciate it and your back will thank you.
meanwhile i'm here with wooden chair
My back aches just thinking about it
SAME. 2 months using a wooden chair, now I really want to invest on a good chair
I have a plastic one
Plastic here.
im using a monobloc :(
Thanks so much for this video. I've always preferred ergonomic chairs, it was great to understand why a gaming chair may not be a great investment in comfort.
Ur hot
As someone who works all day and games all night, ergo chairs are my preferred choice between the two. I’m 20 years old and have had both. Mavix seems like an up and coming brand that is classified as a gaming chair but is taking the ergo chair approach. I have noticed that a lot (not all) gaming chair are more designed for looks and not comfort and performance. Same thing goes for ergo chairs but they go for comfort but don’t care as much about looks. Pick your poison.
Man, you really helped me in taking my decision, Thank you
The ergochair is not comfortable at all to sit in for long hours. You will need to stand up after an hour due to tailbone pain. Yes it helps you sit more straight. However that cushion is very thin and bottoms out very easily to the point where you feel the piece of plywood the thin foam is stapled to. I prefer a gaming chair for actual gaming and office chair for productivity. When you game you do not think about sitting properly anyway; you are glued to the screen. It is more ideal to have both or use a higher end office chair with better cushion for every day.
So, a gaming chair sacrifices comfort to look "cool"... That's why I hate "gaming" products. At some point, gaming products became more focused on how it looks than anything else.
Same but if it has rgb it's automatically the best product
@@maurice7017 agreed
@@maurice7017 agreed
would you recommend an ergo 2 chair over a secretlab one? i’m torn
Gaming keyboards, gaming laptops, gaming nice are just better feature wise and precision
Iv had a DXracer seat for 4 years. They are hard as hell and give you a sore bottom. You can get up from them and feel really stiff. Your back can’t breath as the back of the chair is solid so you sweat. The plastic arm rests start falling apart pretty quickly as well and the base of the chair wobbles. I injured my back last year and sitting in the gaming chair just aggregates the pain now.
I’m investing in a ergo seat. Thing is I had one before the gaming chair and I have no bad memories of it, I think I just brought into they hype of having a bucket seat chair.
when I was young, I sat in those metal folding chairs and life was fine. Then I got a generic office chair with lots of cushions, but not very ergo. Now that I am older and been working in the office and then at home, you need an expensive ergo chair. Bit the bullet and got a $1,450 upgraded humanscale freedom with headrest. this chair is heaven compared to even Aeron. But everybody is built differntly.
Gaming chairs belongs on sports car, ergo chairs, your back will thank you for it.
I prefer the look of the office chair and definitely think it's a more wise/better choice for looks in general terms. Any of your peers will think it's more professional looking and no one will dislike it, where as more people might think the Racer is "cool" but you'll also get more people who don't like it or think it's childish.
When it goes past your peers, the office chair's appearance becomes even more beneficial as the gamer chair really looks kinda childish or goofy to a professional but the office chair always fits.
dude I just wasted $200 on a gaming chair and I couldn't agree more, Ig I got pulled into the marketing scheme that I needed it. Uncomfy piece of shit.Ill just buy an ergo chair.
@@lunar2763 yeah I forgot to say the mesh is another bonus the leather can be too warm or even stiff
Fantasic review.
You just confirmed my decision on the ergo, paying a bit more but at the end of the day it will pay off in health benefits.
Thank you.
For sure, if you get it I appreciate you going through my link
I guess it really is down to the condition of one's back lol. With the haven't of office/studio/setup tours, many of the gang with the gaming chairs don't seem to complain, even love the gaming chairs. Many of them even attest to siting in them for hours on end. Oh, the joy of having a pristine spine. I miss the days.
Thank you very much for the recommendation! I just made a purchase for the Ergo Chair 2 with your link. Cheers!! Can't wait to sit in it
Awesome, you will enjoy it
How is it?
@@HighDollar17 I think it's great! The assembly was simple enough, and there are endless levers to make every detail you could possibly want exactly to your liking. I can't imagine what else I could ask from it... I built a desk that can go up and down so that I could stand every so often, but since I've gotten the chair, I haven't felt the need to stand up at all. I don't have any conditions with my back or anything, so I can't speak for that, but it does not give me any soreness. Love the mesh on the back because I tend to sweat more than most and it keeps me about as cool as I could ask. No qualms aside from the learning curve of trying to figure out which configurations suit your back best... Small adjustments require I relearn a lot of levers. If something is slightly off, you can obviously get uncomfortable over time.
Thank you so much for this video. It answers all the questions I had and now I'm even more sure I should go for and ergo chair. The gaming ones are so cool though 😎
I just bought a gaming chair. This video is 2 weeks too late in my youtube feed 😅 should've bought the other one
Depends. About a week ago I watched a lot of videos about chairs, one was the ErgoChair 2. I dumped DXRacer quickly, as I've read a lot of comments about it going for the looks and less for quality. If you're looking at gaming chairs, you should primarily focus on SecretLab Titan or Noblechair, maybe AKRacing. The Titan came out as a winner for me with the fabric cover, Noblechair makes only leather. I simply don't like sitting on leather (synthetic or true) for extended periods.
There were actually quite a few complaints about the ErgoChair, so it isn't perfect either. But I had the notion that the SecretLab Titan had overall better reviews. It costs also more though.
However, if you prefer the mesh over the leather/fabric, then the choice is clearer.
As for the Herman Miller Aeron... yeah, $400 vs $1400, sorry but no, not paying +$1000 and not buying it used without knowing whose buttocks graced its seat before. It also has no headrest.
@@batira I want to buy a new chair at the moment I have a Leather DXracer and im considering this ErgoChair 2. What do you think?
@@Gilborg I wouldn't know myself. Based on the reviews I watched and read, from the two I'd pick the ErgoChair2. But I'd urge you to do your own research. There are surprisingly a lot of reviews here on YT and others you can google.
@@batira I think this is the perfect match for me! I am 6'4 and I think it will suit me well. :)
@@batira in my old office we had the herman miller. It's like sitting on a cloud all day. It's so good
After watching many vids and reading reviews on gaming/office chairs I just pulled the trigger on the Autonomous Ergo Chair 2. I'm a big guy, 6'2" and 320 lbs and have gone through 5 gaming and office chairs in the last 2 years at great expense. I've purchased various gaming/office chairs ranging in price from $150 all the way up to $700 and have yet to find one that lasts more than 6 months. I'm in my office chair working 12+ hours every day of the week so having a reliable, comfortable and functional chair is a must. What I'm looking for is a sturdy upright chair with a solid tilt mechanism that doesn't fail after a few months use. A height adjustment cylinder that doesn't fail after 6 months use. Good solid casters that won't break the base where they are attached. Comfortable adjustable lumbar support that won;t kill my back. After watching your review I just placed my order for the Autonomous Ergo Chair 2. I'll get back to you in 6 months and see how it works out. Thanks for your honest review and I'm looking forward to receiving this new chair. Cheers!
It’s been 5 months. Any chance for an early update?
At this point you better off aiming for the best, a Hellen Miller chair.
I just bought a model rim-3312 gaming chair very similar to this one - probably cheap to other people but all I could afford . we couldn't get it put together because the pre-drilled holes under the seat did not match up with anything
I have one of the gaming chairs too and have back issues. I think I'm going to go for the Ergo chair2
Awesome, if you grab it I appreciate you going through my link
@@NoShameIncome so I got it and the first day it hurt my butt so bad I'm gonna send it back. They REALLY need to make the seat cushion softer. There's no way I can keep that. My gaming chair may have no lumbar support but its better than the ErgoChair. Now I'm seeing how their customer support is because they have a clause on the returns that they want photographic proof the chair is boxed up in original box but when you put it together some pieces lock in place and you can't take them apart to get in the original box. Will keep you posted.
@@Atljeepboy I'm over 200lbs and that wasn't an issue for me
I've used Arozzi chair for like 2 years now, never had any problems with it. Even with my scoliosis, it really doesn't give me back problems or anything.
gaming chairs are absolute garbage IMO bought one and never have been more uncomfortable. Ergo are the way to go all day.
Good video.. All most all points covered for some one like me who is planning on investing on a new chair.
Thanks!
Thx for the vid. I was about to buy a gaming chair because my butt would hurt from sitting on my $10 Ikea chair for like 7 hours. I hate Corona
you want the seat to be firm when new it will get more comfortable the soft seat will get less comfortable
Depends on the chair
I used a nice gaming chair with a back massager and a head rest and slide out foot rest for a year and it destroyed my back at the computer. Switched to a 60$ ergo chair and my back is soooooo extremely happy. Plus this ergo chair is super light weight, where the other chair (around 200$), I had to use my entire body weight to push the chair back and forth. I am also short, but in the ergo chair I do not have to get up to adjust anything on the chair. The gaming chair I was too short to reach the levers underneath and could not adjust the height back up without standing all the way out of the chair (due to my height not so much my weight but it made me feel fat which is just an added lameness).
Anyhow, thanks for the video I agree completely that gaming chairs are not good for the computer, especially if you have to sit typing a lot.
can i know where do i find the 60$ ergo chair that u have?
Thank you. Been thinking about the different types for a while now.
Thank you! I’m doing research on the best gaming chairs because I want to get my boyfriend a new chair for his computer, and it’s been hard to find one that I think is perfect. I think the best features I’ve seen are a breathable mesh back and the built-in adjustable lumbar support. I’m glad I came across this advice because I might be better off going with a comfortable office chair. Thanks again!
Lumbar pillow....commercial grade velcro. Amazing stuff. Super strong and usable.
I ended up ordering an AKRacing Opal. It had some of the features of a racing chair that I liked....high back, size that fit my frame....not flashy.
That ergo chair is really nice. My chair prior to the akracing has mesh back, which I like since I am so hot natured. Because of that I also wanted a material chair as opposed to leather etc.
thoughts and prayers
Got rid of my gaming chair less than a month theyre so bad
@@Ineverreadreplies can confirm, I bought an ergonomic chair initially, found it was a piece of crap, returned it, bought a gaming chair, my ass hasn't stopped thanking me since
@@AzKat69 Why did you buy a piece of crap ergonomic chair? :D You should test a chair before buying it... There are obviously crap ergo chairs as well, but a good "ergo"chair wipes the floor with any gaming chair. If you want a good ergochair then INVEST in one, dont buy a 300$/€ chair, get one thats 500€/$+. Mines a used 240€ one that costs like 800€ new... Remember that you cant get a good chair for cheap...
@@Ex0rz my pc is 800 euros, I'm not willing to pay that much for a chair lol.
AzKat when you literally spend most of your day in a chair, think about it a mattress costs a lot because you sleep in it, you probably don’t want a bad one that gives you back problems, look into your health because it’s your whole life
@@AzKat69 did you buy the ergo chair 2 or a different ergo chair?
as someone whos owned 2 "gaming chairs" I can't stress it enough - they are not worth it. I have a literal disc bulge L5-S1 which was not helped by such extremely tough chairs. Gaming chair pillows are like slabs of freaking concrete, and they tend to be directly straight - next to no support, especially if you don't use the pillows. Honestly, barely anyone will see your chair, go ergonomic (they look cool too!), you'll not regret it later in life. Comfort over looks/fad anyday.
hello, thanks for your video, i am considering to buy this chair, i play games all the day, so for this chair, does it have a excellent lumbar support that can support your back well? and also like what you said, the back of dxracer cant not be moved forward, which makes me feel so uncomfortable, because i am using dxracer now , so can this chair's back be move more forward compare with dxracer? i just need more back support for a long time sit. please let me know, any recommendation will be appreciated, thank you 1 more time^^
Yes the ergochair has really good back support. I'm very happy with it and have a lot less backpain after gaming for hours with it, if you grab it here I get some credit for your purchase as well: www.noshameincome.com/ergochair2 Thanks
K K it CAN’T be moved forward, just up and down. The lumbar support is mediocre, there are much better ones out there but they do cost more.
If I took a wooden board and put it on the back of my chair, it'd be the same as that gaming chair. I can't imagine actually having that big lumbar support pillow just get jammed straight into your back.
I wish I would of watched this video before getting the gaming chair... same problems as me.
i found a used maneger chair in the dumster and i love it saved 350 dolars
my chair just earned u a new subscriber I re4ally wish I have seen this video earlier few days ago I bought the racing kind of style chair to be honest it really looks nice but after few days I cant find a good seating position for working relax im considering selling it for a bit cheaper and get an office chair changing my posture for a chair hell no and if sure I cant relax on my owne chair its not staying .
Should have done better research and found a comfy gaming chair instead of one some paid reviewer or some cool streamer had. Plenty of very comfy gaming chairs
I was thinking about a gaming chair but all I do is code and sometimes make cgi, and sometimes i will go all night, i always used a bench, yes a bench... I almost dislocated my shoulder, i am probably going to get an office chair.
Thanks for the info! I'm going to give my game chair to my son and get an ergonomic chair! I had the same back issues you had.
Jenifer Minns I think you should sell the gaming chair instead of giving the gaming chair to your son, you dont want him getting back problems :)
@@katsinboo yes he does want his son to have back problems... why do you think he would be giving it to his son after just explaining how the chair gives back pain?
one recommendation for you, try not put you PC on that little thing that hanging on the table that is close to the floor, you will end up have lot more dust than on to of a table, especially you have cat.
at least its better than on the floor.
I personally would not purchase a gaming chair in my case for obvious reasons. Having Scoliosis means sitting in some chairs is really uncomfortable and is not good for your posture. I have a specialist chair that was designed by a physiotherapist which is great for all day use. At the time over 10 years ago cost over £750 or around $1000, I know you can get chairs cost way less, as you spend lots of time sitting, sleeping and on your feet. A good pair of Shoes or Slipper, A Mattress and A Chair are the most important investments you can make.
I wasted $200 on a budget gaming chair and it hurts so bad. I'm young too so that's even worse when I'm growing. Terrible butt and back pain especially at a growing age is just terrible. I had to get up and walk away from the computer it was so bad. Definitely am going to refund and get an ergonomic chair
gameplay over graphics. ergonomic/comfort over cool
Too bad ergo chairs tend to be at least twice as expensive as a similar sized gaming chair.
There's too many overprices chairs that justify it by selling you a "better sitting position" and "no back pain!"
Well that is what makes a good chair
Good products cost money. I've made the mistake of buying these cheap gaming chairs and regretted every penny spent; buy cheap buy twice.
Eh. I got a chair less of the gaming chair price, SmugChair Ergonomic High Back Adjustable Office Chair. Boom
Man u should try the Titan and Royal editions of Cougar chairs. You'll feel like you're a king sitting on his throne. Haha 😂
am i the only one who doesn't have any pains or issues with the gaming chair even after sitting all day long
if you under 5"3 make sure you get a chair with seat depth adjustment
Same if you're tall. Proper ergo chairs have adjustments for people of various sizes.
I was needing this video, thanks for saving me some money

I feels like these ''Gaming'' chair will be the bane of many people back in the future. I hear all the times and even my brother telling me how comfortable they are and yet the only time i've sit in one for an hour or 2 we're so bad i just wanted to go back on the couch. Wouldn't be surprised if some of them start having back pains in the future because of these. Bought an office chair on amazon for 220$CAD with built in lumbar support and for the last few days my back never felt better. It's not the ''best'' nor ''perfect'' chair, but i have workaround to make it work.
you’re absolutely right
Sweet Z5500. Still have mine too and use it every day
I can't see anything I'd want to replace it with
@@NoShameIncome Same reason I still have mine too!
I have been using a well padded office chair at home for about 10 years. It isn't high enough to support my head. It is also too low even in its highest position. It is comfortable until I get up and find that my knees have been stuck at a 60 degree angle for two hours. I've considered modifying it myself, but it would not look good. So I'm in the market for a new chair. I've been considering a gaming chair because they "look" comfortable. They are new and the latest and greatest. So they must be the best kind, right? I need to sit in one before I buy it. But the problem I have is that there isn't even one of any brand in a store within 75 miles of me. It is not possible to sit in one to try it out. It looks like I have to buy one online based on online reviews by people with different body builds. Your review seems a lot more genuine than most of them which were written by people who got them for free to give a good review. What do you think about the inline skate wheels found on some?
I would just go with autonomous, can't go wrong and they still look nice. If you decide to go that route I appreciate you getting it through my link.
I finally bought an ergonomic chair yesterday. I can't wait to try it. The gaming chair I have also gave me slouching problems and back pain. I had to toss the pathetic back pillow that came with it and buy a better one but it's still uncomfortable and makes me slouch because the chair has that dumb cave in design that provides absolutely no back support. I bought it because so many people were buying it I thought it was because it was extremely comfortable. NOPE. guys, stay away from gaming chairs. They suck.
I have both a secretlabs titan and autonomous ergochair2. The ergochair2 bottom seat foam bottoms out. You fill the base of the chair in less than 15 min sitting on it. The build quality is cheaper than the titan. However you can modify the seat cushion by removing the base and taking off the cover and getting a firmer foam and thicker one. The titan is very nice build quality, better than the ergochair2. I bought because I thought it would have the feel of a good chair that you sit in a car. However it’s not comfortable or doesn’t have the feel of a car chair. The foam is too firm. You can sit on it for maybe an hour then your legs start to lose circulation. Also gaming chairs don’t have that dynamic recline that ergonomics chairs have which I use a lot. Gaming chairs you have to pull the lever to recline. The Titans recline isn’t even comfortable because the lower back arches your back in an uncomfortable way. I would say stock the titan is a better chair due to the ergochair2 seat is bad quality foam and it bottoms out. It may looks thick in pictures but it’s not firm enough to support someone long term. However if you do some mods to the ergochair2 then it’s better than the titan and many other chairs I sat on including the Herman Miller Aeron, but still not the perfect chair because of some things too long to mention here. Also the titan cannot be returned so you’re relying on CZcams reviews that have bees sponsored by secretlabs which got me on buying one myself.
I wish you showed the adjustments. im basically looking for a chair that is suitable for someone 6'7". If anyone has any suggestion it would be appreciated
check out secret lab Titan XL. Its a gaming chair but it could fit someone of your size.
I game or do stuff on the computer for 2-3 hours only because I have to get up and move. Not a ooh I like to be on my feet thing although it do. The reason being is because I don't have a good chair. I had an old office chair that was nice not the best but deffinetly games and enjoyed the computer for faaaar longer. It broke and I downgraded to other chairs around the house. One things for sure is that a great chair makes your experience light years better. Thanks for this review. I'm here thinking about pulling the trigger on a 300+ chair. Really make you think how much stuff goes into it, and how overlooked chairs are. Lumbar support is key and them gaming chairs aren't it. Thanks for a great review.
The flooring in your office is coming apart because it was laid wrong. If the perpendicular joints create an h it causes problems in terms of keeping the joint tight.
yeah, probably shouldn't have asked the neighbor to help me with it. He did that lol.. fortunately the rest of the house is done correctly.
I literally almost spent 10,000 pesos on a gaming chair yesterday (this is a lot lol some gaming chairs cost 2k or 4k only), I didn't buy it when I found out that it had busted RGB lights (I didn't know until the seller told me about the extra feature after I said I was gonna buy it) 😂 There's an ergonomic chair that cost less than a thousand and it was so comfortable. I was indeed unconsciously driven by the fad "cool, gaming chair" but I'm glad and proud that I didn't fall for it! I went home without buying anything but I'll definitely come back to get me a good-quality ergonomic chair instead especially now that I watched this video 😊❤️
well some back problems could be from just sitting too much
great that I watched this! Trying to find a good gaming chair but now Ima be looking at an ergo.
Hows she holding up? Im hearing bad things about this company right now, being just a reseller and the chair is gppd but not quite worth the price
I bought one for my office after owning the first one for over two years at my house. The chair is a good value for the price considering most chairs that would compete with this would be start around $500 USD as opposed to the $300 they sell it for.
Seems like every thing you’ll ever buy will always have some bad reviews, but this chair seems to actually be pretty great for the price, including all the things that come along with it. At the end of the day, as long as your back doesn’t hurt I say it’s a good chair
Which chair are you referring to?
@@eddyfeddystacks the ergo
Tha 2nd Coming the autonomous ergo chair 2
You have it dialed in. Great video, great review.. I know what I want and need for my body.
Cat put in vent holes lol
yeah I don't let her in the office anymore lol

I love a cute pink gaming chair... but I know I have back problems and long term it may do more harm to my comfort. I’ll give up cuteness for my back comfort 😭
I got myself a gaming chair because of back issues and spinal rectification, and even though it is confortable to me for sitting and resting, is highly unconfortable to use while doing pretty much anything on the computer. I'm definitively going to use it for a few months and then ditch it for an ergochair.
Thanks! About to order a nice black and grey ergo chair 🔥
how’s it going? torn between that and a secretlab chair
@@katelovespizza No regrets! It's been great since getting it. It's my work from home and gaming chair. My sitting down posture has been way better since getting it.
A $50 office max chair is literally more comfortable to me than my $350 gaming chair. I went away for two weeks and came back to realize that hey I didn’t have any more back pain, until I started sitting in my gaming chair again. When I was away I was literally using one of Those ugly green plastic lawn chairs
Got the respawn 110 chair along with buying some butt cushions along with memory foam lumbar support. Think if anything add ons are good with the added benefits of long time sitting.
That what I thought it not suck but why bucket seats at home? Lucky they didn't include 6 SRS airbags to sell higher.
any reccomendations on a comfortable chair that can recline to around 180 degrees? I currently have a pretty comfortable chair but the backrest broke, so I can no longer recline, but I loved that feature of being able to recline up to 180 degrees. I was definitely considering the Ergochair until I saw it could only recline 20 degrees.
Corsair t1 or t2. Try to buy at price near 200
Proper office chair is always going to be better. Similar to why people should never bother with gaming headphones and just go with a pair from a proper audio company. I'm going to have to replace my current home office chair soon. I'm looking at a Herman Miller Aeron. Definitely more expensive, but the build quality and design more than makes up for it for someone like me (sitting in my office for many many hours everyday.)
The Ergo Chair does not take up too much space. That is already a win for me.
Same mouse lol but yeah have to agree with this video, bought an ergo office task chair as well, having been working at an office where they supplied us with some really high end office chairs
Exactly! I didn't know how good my expensive office chair was till I had to work from home.
Super helpful video. Thank you!
I bought a ergonomic chair however after 7 months the seat completely sunk thru not comfy at all
I want a gaming chair but with good comfort where it would ruin my posture. Help
I just got my ergo chair today, it works perfectly and supports my weight, but when I sit on it it sinks like 1 or 2 cm and stays there, is that normal?
how’s it going?
how's it going?
Really wanted the ergochair2 because my current chair has a broken mesh and therefore doesn’t support my back at all and as you can probably tell I have backpain like I’m 60 at age 16 but my mom told me it’s kinda out of our price range and it won’t get delivered here in less than 3 months. :|
You didn't say anything about the dx race wings and how are forcing you to adopt a straight position, while the office chair pretty much let you stay in any position you want.
DO NOT get a 'racing' chair. They look amazing, but are so horrible. I like how the back rest goes up to my head level. The backs of the chairs curve forward around the area of your shoulder blades. You naturally slouch in them. Especially when you want to strsighten the chair for your bsck. You NEED to lean the chair back to feel some sort of comfort, but then your lower bsck as a lot of pressure on it bcuz of the angle. It fcn sucks to have back pain there. Especially between shoulder blades. Feels like a heart attack. Lumbar pillows do nothing smh
It also depends on what kind of chair you get. My personal recommendation: Get an 'office chair' bcuz those are designed for comfort and long periods of sitting. Gaming chairs look cool, but are horribley designed for comfort. Unless of course you spend obsurd prices on the decent quality ones. Like $399 for a chair that can do this
Chairs like that are not worth it, unless you got a too much money then go ahead. They're simply nothing more than fancy over priced junk. I have more than enough money for them, and I will never pay that price. Bcuz screw them. And bcuz I'll never pay a ridiculous price for anything, idc how good the products are. Acception of PC's. PC's are over priced for what they offer, but you need them smh. You can wait weeks/months or maybe even years for sales or prices to go down
I was just looking at the G502 the whole time
DX Racer King will start peeling in several places after 2 years, it will look bad, I know since I am covering up my chair atm and looking for a new one, this was inspite of using a nice big cusion and clothes and never putting my bare skin on the chair, so it's peeling from age and that's bad.
Can confirm, mine started coming apart after 2 years as well, even though I tried my best to take care of the fake leather.
the winner ? The SecretLab chair
nah
Bro love the concept of the video, but a 3+ year old chair for your subject matter is a bit outdated, I'd love it if you had a corsair t3 or the new noblechair epic black, for your gaming chair, then compared it to a high end ergo.
I agree this is a fair point but I figured now a days these 'gaming chairs' are everywhere with what can now be tough to see what's different from each brand. I think the lesson really is to get something comfortable vs. looks.
Good comment. I want a ergo office chair but the selection I have in my remote area is minimal compared to gaming chairs. Looking at New Nobelchair Epic black actually haha.
I had a steelcase leap V2 a few years ago and that chair is amazing.
THANKS for this I Am In the market for one rn And I have been trying to Decide whether I'm going with a gaming chair or An Office chair And thanks for pointing out that The Gaming chair isn't as comfortable as the Office chair
