Top 10 Gaming and Office Chairs



Stumble it!

The average person spends at least half their day glued to a chair, whether it’s working from your home call center or playing World of Warcraft. It only makes sense that you would want the best chair to sit in. Here’s a roundup of the craziest, most expensive, and most creative chairs out there.

1. The Aeron

The power chair of the dot com era, morale booster and a great chair to be in as you watch the tech bubble pop from the comfort of your flat panel computer screen. Designed in 1994, this chair breaks all boundaries by not having any upholstery but instead being made of transparent and flexible space plastics. This baby goes for only $1076, but can be found widely discounted at $749 for a basic model.






2. The Think Chair

Looking for something a little less pricey and actually possessing a conscience? Then this chair is for you. It’s made from 99% recyclable materials and is easily taken apart, not to mention several reclining positions and a seat that molds to you. $719 never sounded so good.








3. .04 Chair

Mac fanatic? How about a chair designed to match your new, flat, sleek iMac? The .04 chair will do the trick, for a mere $1290 at list price. Although it looks uncomfortable, the chair is made of flexible plastics and allows you to recline comfortably and in hipster style. It’s even available around $850.









4. Human Touch Manual Perfect Chair

Bored with all the regular positions? Try this one out in the office and see what the boss says. Made out of leather and a sturdy wood base, this chair uses a Zero Gravity system and comes in eight different kinds of fancy-sounding upholstery. Perfect for desk or poolside, and starting at only $1,700 at Relax the Back.



5. Home made

When all else fails, go at it on your own. This chair is multi-purpose, suited for both commute and the office. Made out of a 35 lb. office chair attached to a 16” Princess bike, this is the best ride to the office since your Beamer.

Ready to take your behind off of chair bottoms and onto something a little more ergonomic and new age-y? Behold the ball, made famous by Casey Serin of iamfacingforeclosure.com, Dwight Schrute, and, possibly, you. Going for $165, the cheapest of the chairs so far, this could be great if you move around a lot to game. Just don’t get into it too much or you’ll fall off. Find yours at Healiohealth.







8. Kneeling Chair

Bored of your usual spine-numbing position? So is this guy, by the look on his face. Try the kneeling chair, an idea from the friendly Scandinavians that brought us Ikea. The weight is taken off your back and to your shins and knees. Better? Maybe. Weird-looking? For sure.










9. The Stokke

Another invention from across the pond, and one sure to delight both yourself and your coworkers or spouse…provided you can figure out how to get on it. The back support looks great…just imagine those furry spheres rolling across your lumbar region in much-appreciated massage.










10. Renegade

If none of those are cool enough for you, the advanced gamer, try this adaptive, electronically advanced freaky vibrating chair. From 3D speakers in the headrest, to the vibrating seat, to compatibility with most of today’s gaming systems, this chair is it. For $299, you get mp3 and headphone jacks, a racing seat design, and the feeling of being better than all your friends.
