If this is the one I think it is, its really ideal http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BLACK-MESH...item5d3dae3690 it doesn't just recline, but it sort of slides back on an angle, its hard to explain it, but I tried it in ikea and it was a awhmagawd moment

I'm the US so likely can't help with anything specific (in a current Office-in-a-box Store chair atm, it's nice so far but the big draw was the full replacement warranty).

BUT I will say this: try one of those ergo-mesh chairs. You might have to get it second-hand at that price, but they are surprisingly nice. I always though they were stupid/gimmicky/uncomfortable looking, until I recently went chair shopping and tried one. Much better than they look!

Thanks hugely for the great response

Mesh is pretty uncomfortable if you're ever going to be sitting in it naked, just FYI. Leather is just uncomfortable generally if you generate lots of heat/sweat easily. I generally prefer cloth.

My last chair was a meshy-fabric (had a dimply pattern) and it was OK on the rare occasion I was naked. Yes it would leave indentations but I really didn't notice them/they didn't hurt.

Most fabrics (even smooth ones) will leave their pattern on you, if that's what you're talking about.


Also, normally I am SO SO with you on the leather (could never have it in my car) but my current chair is bonded leather, and I notice the coldness first getting in it more than I do the stickiness. Probably doesn't hurt that our house is never outside of a pleasant climate control range.

Try the IKEA Markus, it costs roughly 100-150 pounds depending on your location. Also, buying a used one wouldn't be a bad option due to the 10-year-warranty. I've been using one for half-a-year, can not file a single complaint against it.

Even Swifty uses one!

Towel. Fold. Place. Sit.

I have a mesh one with lots of adjustment options. Wouldn't trade for any other kind of chair.

Update: got the chair and its fantastic, thanks guys

I spent the big bux on a herman miller aeron and don't regret it.

i don't understand how people can see leather as "luxury" when it's so uncomfortable regardless of the temp outside.

if it's cold, you're going to freeze. if it's warm, you're going to stick. if it's hot, you're taking the chair with you when you leave.

Had a look online, judging by images looks sweet.
So i looked on the website and its-i'm guessing- £530 which is a tiny bit out my price range ahhahah

Reeves most important requirment out of a gaming chair is that he can play his computer naked and still be comfortable.

When they ask you what chair you're looking for in ikea, i don't think that 'one i can sit in naked' would be a very wise choice xD

during the summer I tend to chill out in just shorts, so when I was looking at potential chairs before (and something I'll need to do again soon) The material had to be something I could sit in comfortably when topless - so no leather or hard plastic, went with a cloth one last time, mesh might be an option next time however - at my uni in one of the computer cafes they had some mesh chairs, and they were the most comfortable and adjustable computer chairs i've ever sat in, possibly similar to the one linked above... might try for one like that ^__^

Get yourself down to an office hardware store, Like Staples, or even somewhere like B&Q.
Go sit in several chairs till you find one that is comfortable for you.

Personally I have a leather one, and to get round the dreaded summer stickiness of a leather chair I simply throw a towel over the back and tie it in place with a length of string, and a towel on the seat. This way I can sit in a comfortable chair and just throw the towels through the wash every couple of days.


main point is though, a Chair is something that you find comfortable.
