Jysk is very crappy. Ikea is god compared to it. Just unimaginable difference.
It was all my budget allowed and I couldny find anything better.

Will test more tomorrow but that ikea markus chair seems fine.

No Ikea isn't all crap... It is if you only buy their cheap stuff but they have better quality stuff. To me what Yondaime showed was about the same as the Markus chair... though the base of his looked flimsier than what I have.

So after a few hours in that ikea Markus chair.
Hope it will get softer over time. For now the seat is quite stiff but that's agood sign. If it was super soft now, it would be bottoming soon.
The hands rests could be a bit higher, softer and a bit wider. It's not bad but but might need getting used too.
The back net is very good and overall I don't feel sweaty in this chair at all (obvious cause it's cloth). On top of that, the of back support is very good too and my back don't hurt yet.
Overall I am happy with the purchase so far. Just need a lot settling in and getting used to new chair. And I think it was a good choice to get it in cloth over fabric. too fast to rate chair over one day. It needs few months because I was so used to my old one

So, did it get softer or not?
I'm thinking about buying a new one since the old €60 one I bought at ikea is starting to feel really lame when compared to my office chair (it's fucking amazing but costs something like ~400€).
That markus you have is 170€, but I might get it if it's as good as YOu make it sound and after trying it at the shop.


Any other suggestions, anyone? Except for racing chairs that is Laughing

So the markus is nice and I am overall happy with it but:

It could be a little bit wider but I am a fat ass.
And it did not got much softer. Maybe little bit but not much. Not sure if its my model only or will it take more time cause the one on display was softer.

It still looks brand new after few months and seems like it will last. And it was a perfect buy for hot summer.

I'm also in search for a chair right now. What I had eyes on is this.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Designed-Racing-Swivel-Office-Colour/dp/B00KY055GU/ref=zg_bs_200970031_1

This looks very nice, but I'd also like to have its height adjustment go lower. So, anyone knows a chair that is reasonably cheap (~£60), comfortable, and have it's height adjustment go lower than normal?

I don't want one of those floor chairs, because for normal use the regular chair height is good, but it would be nice to have one that can be lowered waaaay down, so I can kick the back....back and look up at a tilted down screen while watching a movie. Waaaaay comfy.

Wow that looks really cheap and probably comfortable, wish I could get a proper chair in Finland for less than 200€ or some stupid shit like that.

Ended up buying the one I linked. I'll just watch movies the old fashioned way (at eye level). Razz

Even if it's not so good, it's still way better than the wooden kitchen chair I'm sitting on right now, and it was cheap enough that I can decide what to look out for when I go for a better one later on.

Nope, instead you bought something tacky. Now say 'Vrooooooooom' while sitting in it. Laughing

Ah well, as long as its comfy for you but I wouldn't be surprised the price came with additional 'gamer tax'.

I like how instead of designing a chair with consideration to ergonomics, adjustable lumbar support or head rest, nope we just toss a couple of $5 pillows with our logo embroidered on there job done.

Lol. Well I should get it some time today and I'll try and give an unbiased opinion, compared to my office chair that, until covid, I was sat in most days for a few years. My current chair here at home is beyond terrible Sad

Also, just like the whole chair, those pillows are memory foam

I was looking at this chair today:



vidaXL ergonomic office chair with 6 massage spots and lower back heating (controllable, and I don't want leather, fake or otherwise). It's available without the massage/heat additions for a lower price. I'd have to see if there's a store somewhere close where I could actually test one out though (although shipping is free, as is returning it).

Since it's only €310 (for the one with massage/heat, the normal version is €180 or so) I'm slightly skeptical about the durability/quality of it. It does look very comfy though.

The Secretlab chair is firm but comfortable. It would be better to have a built in adjustable lumber instead of a pillow and you can actually get one with the Titan chair. The pillows feel really nice and soft though. Compared to my office chair, the seat has about the same level of comfort but the back is much better, it just feels right. The chair is really heavy and well built. You can tell it's a good quality product. Metal base and very nice castors, the PU leather has a premium feel. Everything can be adjusted and the back goes so far back you could sleep on it lol. Plus it looks great

Money well spent
