We have Aerons (or potentially knockoff Aerons? A chair expert I am not) in the conference rooms at work, and maybe it changes if you're in them for hours at a time, but I have to say I've never found them particularly comfortable.

Are you over 20? (Legit question here but don't answer, just a factor in the dynamic.) If'n you're buying this chair with your own money just tell him to gently caress off (by which I mean buy a new chair without telling him), if he worked hard to earn the money to buy the chair there already than you worked to buy the chair you want.

Obviously I don't know your situation or your parents, but I do have a cheap as hell Staples chair and its not functional as a full workday chair, you deserve better. If its not going to result in your homelessness maybe play up the 'they make better chairs these days' angle.

I've got parents on the far edge of the boomer cohort who 'back in my day' every now and then, but 'your day sucked' tends to work if I'm paying for something myself, but they're pretty easy going folks on the whole so I can't promise success.

Is it possible to get a chair that's like, a memory foam bed, but chair shaped? Google is telling me no, but I want to believe.

Relatedly, if I'm looking for more of a lounging / gaming chair that fits at a desk rather than a dedicated task chair (though it will be used for task-ing at times), does that change people's chair recommendations.

Lemme know when you get that working, that's basically my dream setup.

Any recommendations for cushions to put on a chair? I've got a lovely staples special I bought years ago but COVID makes shopping for a replacement difficult. My posture is nothing short of horrific so I don't terribly care about ergo, I just want my seat to more comfortable than a board.

Wierd that they'd put the gaming version on sale but not the normal version. The difference is a logitech logo.

Perhaps it didn't sell.
