I bought a Maingear chair for mainly internet and games, but lately I’ve been feeling discomfort in my lower back so I think it’s time to get a new one.

I’m willing to throw down the money for a new chair, what’s a good one for the internet/games lifestyle?

Thanks! I needed a list of recommendations, and I wasn’t sure if the OP was up to date, so thanks for posting that list

So I did some digging and my work actually gives a discount on Steelcase chairs.

I’m thinking about getting a Steelcase Gesture chair with a headrest. Anyone sat in one of those, and if so how was the headrest?

So I've been using the Steelcase Gesture, and for the most part I love it. Don't have any lower back problems compared to the old chair. But now my tail bone starts to get sore after sitting in it for a long time. Is that just how it's going to be on the Gesture, or am I somehow sitting on it wrong and need to adjust something like the height?

So I've been using this Steelcase Gesture for about a year now and...

I'm not sure if I like it. No matter how hard I try to find the right position or adjust the seat, I can't sit comfortably on it for an extended period of time without my tailbone feeling sore.

I'm not sure what else to do but call it quits and see if I can get a new chair. My desk it at a height such that for my arms to comfortably rest on it the chair needs to be at a height where my feet can't reach the floor. I've been using a box as a sort of foot rest. Should I try adjusting it some more? If not, what would be a replacement chair for someone not satisfied by the Gesture?

My room needs to be economic with space (54-55 in width with some shelves) and I have an IKEA Fredde desk that I like, so I’m hesitant to replace my desk. Maybe getting an actual leg/foot rest might work
