Another quick note What is the difference between the life carver and the £140 btm?

I'd recommend this one, https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01HID3OD6/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_img?_encoding=UTF8&colid=1ZGOO4ZSHK0IV&coliid=I3JLYGR4BTMID9&psc=1. Its good for ergonomics and you shouldnt get a chair with a popout foot rest for pc gaming.

You asked for opinions and you got em. Those chairs are extremely comfortable. Im sitting in the DxRacer version of the chair we linked right now. It can recline and the lower back support feels really good.

Its hard to say. Most of these companies are just riding the "streamer chair" trend. I haven't used one myself. My general rule of thumb is, if it is 4 stars out of 5 or more then go for it. I recommend looking at some reviews for this one though.

As mentioned ergonomics is important. Chair must be able to hold up accordingly. And offer a meaningful range of adjustability....

Go sit in them if at all possible. Or other chairs that may be similar.

You need to be able to physically see the chair and try it. Comfort is subjective and the time to be spent in the chair is an important consideration. May feel good at first and then a few hours later - not so good. Easy to fluff up a chair that feels and looks good at first. Then quickly deteriorates over time.

Look over any given chair. Does not take much to spot flaws and problems - especially with lower end products.

Most chairs now need to be assembled: either by the seller (for a fee) or by the purchaser/end user. Keep that in mind.

Buy where you can easily return if there is some failure or problem.

Personally I prefer webbed chairs - usually around the $200 US range. Have gone through too many low $ "specials". My last chair made almost 8 years. New chair is now on the 2nd year via a "big box" store offering.

And yes - read reviews, check the "User Guide/Manual" and the assembly instructions.

But "hands on" is most likely to have a successful result.

Ralston probably has the best answer so far, i went with a dxracer because i had money to burn (If you call it a waste of money i wont disagree, but money well wasted :) ) I would say keep all those things in mind and maybe even go for an office chair. Streamer chairs aren't as godly as they seem. The lower back support cushion is a nice touch but you can get that on chairs 1/2 or even 1/3 of the price.
