Good chair that is affordable ? (lemm.ee)

The other day someone asked this and everyone recommended a $1,400 chair. I can’t afford that, I can’t even dream of affording that. I’m looking for something with good lumbar support for ideally under $400 tops. Does anyone have any ideas?

And Inb4 someone says “buy one used / second hand” I looked and they’re still pretty pricey. My current chair is falling apart so I need to do something soon.

I'll second the suggestion of Secretlab. Pretty sure mine was in the £400ish price range, and it's really nice for gaming.

Go part of the way through purchasing one, and then close the tab. Within a day or two you'll probably have a discount coupon. It's my favourite trick for buying expensive stuff.

Third Secretlab, it's still pricy but far more affordable than HM, has all the lumbar support, and whilst it looks gamer-y it lacks the awful shoulders that makes it bad for you so it's actually comfortable.

I had to WFH at my parents for 1 day the other week, couldn't believe how bad my back pain got from 1 day in a crappy office chair. Their support was good too, my magnet head rest kept falling down so they sent me a brand new one

Oh that’s smart

I've had mine since early 2020 and it's identical to the day I purchased it. Faux leather doesn't look the slightest bit damaged or fatigued. (I liked it so much, I got the rest of all their products...)

I used a secretlab Titan for 6 years. Currently looking to replace it, but that's only because the faux leather is starting to peel away. Really solid investment, super comfy.

For OP, I likely tried the $1400 chair that was recommended (Steelcase Gesture) and just sent it back. Decent chair but just didn't work for me.
