Middle Class Caveman 963 Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Hi folks, ive decided to set up a small desk/office space in my house as I’m currently set up at the kitchen table and it’s getting old fast. Can anyone recommend a decent chair for a heavier man? I’ve been looking at the Secretlab Omega series chairs as they do a cool batman one! However, I have no real experience of them: Omega Chair Any advice is welcome! GazzaGarratt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plumbers Crack 4,033 Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 I got me one of these .. HERO Black / Black WWW.NOBLECHAIRS.CO.UK A real hero! No matter how difficult the battle or the stressful day, you can always count on him. Sophisticated details and an impressive form. due to my height, don’t know your weight / physical dimensions but there’s plenty of width to the seat. Bloody thing weighs 30kg but it’s well engineered and a lovely bit of kit. I don’t regret a penny of the price tag 10/10 GazzaGarratt, Middle Class Caveman and BO7H B4RRELS 3 Thanks to Capn_Underpants for the artwork Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spacedeck 915 Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 If you aren't set on getting a gaming chair, have a look here https://www.2ndhnd.com/, they fix up and sell second hand chairs for a fraction of the price. I'm using a Steelcase Leap V2 which I purchased from these years ago when they first started up on eBay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crispymorgan 1,041 Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 I have a Corsair chair from scan. It was £199. Best chair ever.

The3rdWalker 1,263 Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 I would not buy a 'gamer' chair. Find yourself a nice office chair for a fraction of the price that will provide better support.

GazzaGarratt 10,867 Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 @The3rdWalker 's right that 'gamer' chairs are super inflated but if you have that one chance to buy the one you want rather than work to a budget, I still don't think you can find anything better than Secret Labs chairs. Mine is from the Titan series - link below. TITAN series gaming chairs | Secretlab UK SECRETLABCHAIRS.CO.UK Sit incredibly easily with the Secretlab TITAN—the large, spacious gaming chair with an integrated lumbar support. Upgrade your sitting experience now. I know that @Plumbers Crack 's choice wasn't far off this one. I think both support your body and the quality is ridiculously good. I've never ever spent this type of money on one before and i'd say only ever do it if you've got that chance to not think of the price. Otherwise, anything like @crispymorgan 's chair that was 200 is probably the target area you'd focus on. You have to balance out how much you'll be in it too. I'm in mine virtually every day for a number of hours so i'm getting my money's worth for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, in hindsight I should have bought one 14 weeks ago because i've been spending 8+ hours a day at my dining table and these are not comfortable chairs. I have a habit of breaking chairs because of my weight and this particular chair i've been sitting in has certainly taking a beating. They aren't designed for this type of use I don't think lol. Hopefully the secret lab ones come back in stock soon as I need to set up an office space moving forward for work, gaming and TTRPG GazzaGarratt and Plumbers Crack 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're unsure about it, when the 'Rona eases back, come up the A12 and try it for yourself phil bottle and Middle Class Caveman 1 1 Thanks to Capn_Underpants for the artwork Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
