Looking for advice on a new gaming chair or generally desk chair. Mine is a cheap one that is now falling to bits. 

I'm looking on upgrading from my usual budget as I spend lots of time on this chair, especially now I am working from home. Certainly happy to spend a few hundred, not thousands though!

Do any of you have proper comfy, ergonomic chairs? any suggestions

Sit on a hard wooden bench, fitted with spikes, while wearing woollen underpants and a crown of thorns for making your subjects suffer

I use a dxracer chair. After several chairs over the years I got this one. Most comfortable chair I have ever had. It is 5 years old now and it still looks brand new.

I got a cheaper chair and it broke, so I would recommend something sturdy.

Also if you have carpet I would suggest a chair mat.  They don't last forever, but work well enough.  I've also seen them made of tempered glass for a little more.

I use a Steelcase Leap v2 and swear by it. It's an ergonomic powerhouse of a chair: you can adjust just about everything to your liking....arm angle, lumbar position, seat depth etc. Though they are pricey if bought new, the used market for Steelcase chairs is huge. Check Offerup, Craigslist, and used office furniture suppliers in your area...you can get them for $150-$250 easily.

Don't skimp on a chair, if you work at home you probably spend hours a day sitting at your desk, and it pays off to spring for higher quality.
