"Office" versus "gaming" chair for home office
-
I am looking to upgrade the office chair in my den (home office) at home. I am not enthralled with traditional leather chairs as they look old fashioned, out of date, and would appear to belong to a generation that I am not part of.
-
There are plenty of better options out there but for something comfortable and well-built you'll end up paying big bucks. You might be able to find used/refurb "real" office chairs for decent prices. I've had my eye on Steelcase chairs, specifically the Leap v2, but even a used one is costly.

We have had great luck over the years and 99% employee approval with Humanscale Diffrient chairs and the old standby Herman Miller Aerons. I have an Aeron at home and office and enjoy both immensely. Both are 'real' office chairs and will be much pricier than anything from a big box store etc, but will likely save money in the long run as you won't be shopping to replace it a year from now.
-
One of my big hesitations is the prevalence of that mesh type backing on the Aeron and similar level chairs. I just do not find it a comfortable type of surface, especially in shorts (which is much more common in a home office...)
The HM Embody chair looks more promising but is nearly twice the cost of an already-expensive Aeron.
I can usually get 3-4 years or more out of a ~$200 chair from office max/depot. I could see maybe doubling that for a higher quality chair, but not adding $1000+ to the cost.

The choice of a chair is quite an important choice because you will have to sit on it for more than one hour and as you know when a person is sitting on his back the biggest load is coming so you need to choose the table wisely. When I chose the chair I compared the pros and cons [spammy link was here]. Therefore, I advise you to find out everything from specialists and decide.

I sit in front of my computer for hours because of my job specifics and in recent days get tired soon after i begin working. i think the matter is my uncomfy chair and its time to change it to spcecial chair maybe to leather one. How much may it cost?
-
i need not necessarily office chair but something that would fit namely me my bodyshape and my preferecnes, my notebook stands on the platform so i need the chair to be regulated

@Black1Star7 For me, I can only discourage you from buying a "gaming" chair. Most - if not all of them - that I came across and tested lacked basic ergonomic features. Like simple things as leaning back with far less back pressure as to hold your weight or most annoyingly having seat & backrest going back together and thus having the seat press on the underside of your thighs. A thing every half-assed ergonomic office chair can do, none of those 300$+ super gaming chairs do right. Had ordered 2 brands and tested two others: with all of them the seat and backrest tilt backwards together and applied pressure to your thighs.
I'd go for an office chair that has good armrests that can be adjusted to the right height, side distance and can be pushed back if you sit directly on your desk so to not interfere. Also I'd go for those seats with "ergo-tops" or whatever the brand is calling it. It's this kinda "wobbly" behavior that your seat behaves a bit like those medical sitting balls. Takes a bit to like it but actually helps you to not sit that straight or cramped for hours always jiggling and keeping you mobile :)

I recommend Reclining gaming office chairs of Ficmax, super comfortable and feels like good quality material was used to make it. The massage pillow is a nice bonus and the assembly was pretty easy too.
The one thing I wished companies did was make chairs like this for short people as well, but overall it's a great chair -
I have bought a gaming chair recently since I do game but I also have more work from home this year and I really wanted to be comfortable. I can only recommend checking out this page (it's in German but it's easily translateable via your browser or google translate etc), they compare a lot of products and they have some really good recommendations. There's chairs that perfectly fit your height, with adjustable back and one even has a back massage function. Maybe you'll find something there, good luck either way!

@lauraa do you maybe know a website where you can buy second hand chairs or anything?

Actually it's depend on comfortability and usability of chair. Fit and comfort are obviously subjective with chairs. Personally i use VERTAGEAR P-LINE PL6000 heavy chair. Using it over a year now with daily use and I'm very happy with it.

Hi, I'm doing an internship in home office and also have to use my computer for many other issues, a normal chair would not be possible without horrible back pain.
I use a "music/gaming-chair". it's really insane, how comfortable it is and I would never use anything else again, for real..
Check this page if you're still searching for a music chair. The one's on this page are all pretty good and much recommended. Sadly the page is on German, but deepL is a good translator. -
