Pc gaming chair under $200

[kr0490]

What pc gaming chair would you recommend for $200 or less. I like the racing style but most are too expensive .

Consider the Ikea Markus, Decent quality with good ergonomics. For $200 it's a dirt cheap chair for something that's pretty comfortable.

Try X rocker 5142201. Pretty suit with your budget. I'm just searching this thing on internet: http://thebestgamingchair.com/x-rocker-5142201-commander-2-1-audio-gaming-chair-review-3/

I would actually pay up to just under $300. I want an ergonomic chair with adjustable arm rests and lumbar support. I would like it to be stylish, but prefer comfort over style. Will be used at my comouth desk, not for console gaming.

Are you looking for a chair comfortable for long gaming sessions or good looking?

I ask because it is easy to mistake what feels good with what is good for your back.

Armrests should not be important for any person that has long game sessions (arm should be on the table where the keyboard and mice is, armrests can be a backup but should not be the main resting location).
Lumbar support is great as long as it does not deform on pressure from your body (thats actually worse than no lumbar support at all) The reason is because it might lead you to have a straight back UNTIL the lumbar position, where your back will deform creating pain over time.
Also, you want a hard back for the seat and if possible with it being strait with head rest.

An interesting article thou I cant agree with all of its claims.

Bare in mind that no matter what the chair is, your sitting position should always be straight up with 90 degree angle between legs and torso/head.
This is required so the maximum amount of oxygene arrives to your brain, keeping your body active and your brain ready to work.

Finally, even if you get the perfect chair, you will still have to do stretching and exercise from time to time. Constant sitting is really bad.

I think I'm going to get this chair. It's highly rated, and recommended by 2 gaming sites.

Flash Furniture CH-CX0248H01-VEN-GG High Back Black Vinyl Executive Office Chair with Red Pipeline Border https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007N134L6/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_uJfXwbTP5BHE5

Flash Furniture isn't a bad option at all. There is another brand of pc gaming chairs at https://opseat.com/ and they seem to be pretty solid at a reasonable price. They still have that nice racing style and would fit any gaming setup great.

I dont know about those chairs.
They look very similar to any office chair, with a 50$ price increase from the "gaming" marketing put into it.
Chairs have been figures out long ago for Office use (as it usually is 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, for 40 years).

I am not saying these two are better (without siting on them its hard to know), but consider looking at office chairs as well.

I've tested Flash Furniture and think the same as craig, that's not bad option. Worked on one of them about two years and it was good.

My son also wanted the new gaming chair some time ago. I spend whole week searching through Amazon and Google and find the good one. The important thing was that YOU CAN'T LOOK ONLY ON DESIGN. Of course my son wanted chair like from Formula 1 as he's big fan of Hamilton But good gaming chair could be also black and looks regular. I bought Alera chair from this ranking: http://www.workwithpleasure.com/66/my-personal-top-5-ranking-of-best-cheap-chairs/ and despite design isn't fancy and cool my son said that we can work and play on this chair wiht pleasure

So as also cats_Paw said, don't bother too much about the design and you will find the perfect one.
