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.

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...)

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

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.
