At around Christmas in 2020, I bought a gaming chair from Officeworks. It was one of the most popular chairs, so I figured it would be pretty versatile and suit what few needs I have. And while it mostly did, there is one significant problem…
I’m too tall for the backrest. Being 5’9" I didn’t think I’d encounter this issue, but it turns out I do - This is the second time. Thanks to some minor back problems I really rely on the neck and lumbar pillow to not get sore after sitting in my chair, but the neck pillow’s default resting position is right between my shoulder blades unless I manually pull it up so it sits behind my neck, but if I move…the pillow slips back down. Naturally that isn’t practical for gaming. I thought I could work around it, but tonight I’ve just been sitting here and decided…no…My neck is cricked.
So I’d like to invest in a new gaming chair. Do any of you tall Forumers out there know of some gaming chairs designed for taller people (and can be bought in Australia)?
Good day I sit between 5,11 and 6ft the one use not a gaming chair but it large I sit cross legged in it for a start and be fine and my head barely poke over the top with the way I tend to sit for a short person should be great
SONGMICS Office Chair with High Back Large Seat and Tilt Function Executive Swivel Computer Chair PU Black OBG57BUK
Search that on Amazon not sure if it can be bought in Australia and it is pricey but you can never put a price on good comfort
I’m about 5’11" to 6’ and I use a chair that someone would have in an office, but it’s not a swivel. It’s from IKEA and I hate it. My brother has a custom bean bag chair. It’s amazing. He’s about my height. However we are on console so this might not be as useful.
6’8 here the best idea is to search for chairs specifically made for tall people, the one i have is a sandberg voodoo gaming chair, where the headrest actually still reaches up to my head most of the time, (unless im sitting extremely upright)
it also can carry up to 150kilos which is nice, its comfortable at least for me, dont know where they ship but works for me perfectly!
