It is hard for any not to see you or know your size etc. to recommend a chair. I can tell you what I like look for or need. Sorry my post might be a little long, but this is not Twitter, lol.
I did not pay a million dollars for my said Gaming chair. GTRacing. It looks nice "red/ black" all vinal, can lay back and has extra lumbar and head pillow. I wish I did not buy it. The seat has little cushion and is hard as a board if sit any length of time. The chair seat sits back a little far/ deep for me. I am 5'9" maybe 175 lbs now, when younger my norm was maybe 145-150 lbs. My legs not so long so lots of chairs in general are large for me. I set them as low to floor as they can go so my legs do not hang or my legs do not feel that presser hanging off end of chair. And my feet lay flat on the floor, or I will buy extra like bathroom foam padded floor mat/ rugs- with no type or ribs or ridges. I get them only flat on top, or long use you will start to feel those ribs or ridges and aggravate your feet, maybe 2 and stack them for my feet to rest on and is high enough for normal sitting and has padding so my feet do not go numb on hard surface- even some carpet with padding is still hard to your feet if sit long enough. Also, I have to use an extra pillow behind me to push me forward a little in the chair and feel I sit more normal. I think lots of lower cost chairs that have the center pedestal design that is like a shock that goes up down then 5 or so arms with wheels off of it. Being attached to the center of the bottom of the chair only- they seem to start to wobble after a while and can cause you back probs because you might not know that you are sitting cocked one side or the other. They might not be so pretty or move around as well but a chair with 4 legs 1 at each corner will always sit properly and or square if you wish to call it that. I could never really get comfy in my gaming chair. It sits so deep back and sliding around on extra cushion or pillows under me- and give my butt cramps or sit cocked 1 side or the other make my back hurt. So, I went back to my older chair below.
I did say lower cost chairs. I have a Haworth office chair a friend gave me like 15 years ago- his office was renovating and toss out buy all new stuff and the chair was like new and I priced it. At that time was a better than $1,400 chair. It has not a lot of seat cushion, but the chair is a pedestal type and is steady and strong with no wobble and has nice arm adjustments and cloth seat with mesh back and lumbar support. The actual seat is not extra-large or sit way deep back in the seat like some or the gaming chair I bought. This Haworth fits my body size well imo. I need no pillow behind me. I do not like use the lumbar support. I dont like the feel of it stuck in my back. I bought a nice Gel Honeycomb design seat cushion 2.4" thick and the chair is pretty perfect for me. The Cushion is a little small side to side imo and slides around a little in the chair but is way better than just the chair or other pillows or cushions I tried. The Haworth chair has fabric on seat- the game chair is vinal, so the cushion does not slide around as much on the Haworth. I sit in my chair mostly playing games most days 12-15 hours or even more. I dont always sleep and might just nap. I do get up walk around and need restroom or eat or smoke breaks. I can easy sit here many hours a day. I will say I sit to much and my legs swell because of it- sit so much and get poor circulation- or pinch nerves etc. It is not that I have any heart problems or such- but is from sitting so long. I sleep get up my legs are back to normal. I am disabled, building my computers and gaming is pretty much all I care about or do. So.
I bought the poor gaming chair above because the right arm on my Haworth vinal is splitting a bit- but is thick material. So I just used a thick pair of socks, ran both arms through like would your feet, both arms so looks the same and problem solved. I cannot feel the split in arm through the thick sock and the socks fit the arm tight like would your feet and does not look bad at all. I am comfier and been in this chair for like 15 years now and is better than most- not new but not bad shape either. The Haworth looks elegant. I think is German and is built strong like a tank- it has lasted very well imo. I try to take care of my stuff and have no young children or pets- and I dont normally eat or drink at my desk or I am very careful. I dont flop or jump around on my furniture either. So, my stuff lasts pretty well- clothes shoes cars whatever.
I think like some have said- pick a good office chair with plenty of seat cushion if sit many hours in it. Best if you can go someplace that sells them and sit in try a few out. I prefer chairs that have adjustable arms up/down front/ back in/out. I only like use desks with pull out mobo trays- lower than the desk-top and about 29" wide is large enough for full size keyboard and mouse and pad. The tray helps me sit longer and more ergonomic and pushes my out and away a little farther from my monitor which helps with overall view, or for wide or larger screens anyway. You can always pull a smaller screen closer to you. If I use a keyboard and mouse off of say a desk-top the wrist bones in my mouse hand will start to hurt and or my hand want to numb. Stuff like that can cause carpal tunnel type injuries. If you take into considerations the things I look for or need and can actually try out some chairs, you can find a few that will make you happy and for a long time. It does not need be high cost- but I would not go extra low cost either. Think about maybe buying adding a good seat cushion. You should be good to go.
Sorry If I did not actually help or name chairs you should buy. I did at least try to help. Have a great day/ night.
