I’ve been researching computer/gaming chairs and the reviews are all over the place! I’m willing to pay up to $300 (would rather pay less) for a quality chair that will last. Many of the reviews say the chairs they loved when the first got it was less comfortable or started to fall apart less than 6 months after purchase. I’m leaning toward the mesh type chairs. They had the floor rocker type chairs only for gaming when they were young but complained that they we “hot” so I don’t think they would like the padded chairs.
I got this for Mr R’s birthday last year. He spends most of his life at home in this chair and loves it: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B017VQB0K4/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?i
I bought my first Aeron chair more than 20 years ago, use it on a daily basis and it feels like new. It is probably one of the best things I have ever purchased.
