My Logitech collection is growing :)

The Ikea Markus is shit. If it's fits you out of the box that's great, but for the majority of users having an adjustable base, adjustable arm rests and adjustable lumbar support is a requirement so chairs actually fit us.

Help me choose a desk chair

I woiuld advise against an Ikea desk chair. I've had the 1st and 3rd one. The Markus (1st) is decent, but very one size fits all and I didn't use it for long enough to see how it holds up after a year. The 3rd one was really great at first, but wore out very quickly and ended up making my body feel

Finding ergonomic / gaming chairs for 6ft+ tall people

Try out an IKEA Markus - I’m 6’4” and it’s perfect for me, going on 10 years with mine. Much cheaper than a lot of the other branded chairs too

Anyone can recommend a comfortable chair for a +80kg dude?

At this point can get the Ikea Markus chair la if it's available near you. Can try first also. I personally don't like it (I am short and I don't like headrests) but a lot of people like it. Slightly over your budget though

$90 Amazon gaming chair — am I gonna regret this in 6 months?

Honestly, yes. They’re mostly the same rebranded stuff and don’t really hold up if you’re sitting 6–8 hours a day. If you want something that actually lasts, go for the X5 Pro. I’ve used it myself got it from Xallking Australia, and it’s solid, breathable, and actually built for long hours. It’s mor

Hobby Chair Recs

I actually just picked up a new desk chair from IKEA recently. The Markus - Large. They have this chair in 2 sizes and I have had the standard sized one for years as my home office/hobby chair, but I picked up a Large for my office at work and it's super comfortable, even for 8 hours a day. It's a b

My cozy space

https://www.ergohuman.com.au/product/ergohuman-ultra-fabric-mesh-combo-grey/ It’s a great chair, very adjustable, and best chair I’ve ever owned. I use an IKEA Markus for ages, then an Anda Seat Kaiser 3. Soon as I got this chair, I knew what support was meant to be. It’s like when you get a really

What type of neck collar do you recommend for sitting at a desk?

Sorry, just came across your comment/post while seeking solution for same issue I have too. I believe I’ve reached a point where condition gets more serious. Regarding gaming chair, the one mentioned seems well built having back and neck support in mind. Many chairs don’t have headrest. Also, cheap

Nope IKEA Markus is the best chair out there. Doesn't matter if you wanna lounge or work. Just overall great.
