Looking for recommendations for a good gaming chair between $250 to $300. I have a regular office chair which isn't that comfortable for sitting any length of time. I sat in a couple of gaming chairs and really liked have it felt. Wondering if someone has a gaming chair that they use that feels good.

Don't look at me. I sit at the dining room table.

Well, the first thing you should do is avoid anything specifically marketed as a "gaming chair", because they'll charge you a hefty premium for a slightly edgy colour scheme rather than any notable benefits in comfort.

Your best bet is to take yourself down to a decent furniture store and go sit in the floor models until you find one you like that's in your budget. Some things are impossible to judge without a hands-on test.

Often the colour, gamer branding and price increase are the only changes.

Sorry for necroing. Didn't see any other thread about gaming chairs. What do you guys have? Interesting to find out the percentage between simple office chairs and gaming ones.

Frankly, I don't see much of a distinction between gaming chairs and office chairs beyond branding and aesthetics.
