Ive gone through 3 chairs now... Maybe im being picky but here is the issue. I still have the 3 but im about to return them.
The first chair i got was on amazon. This chair, I dont care about the "gaming" tag but that most of the reviews were positive on it being comfortable, i liked the green on it and i liked that it had fold up arms because my original chair im getting rid of couldnt slide under my desk which took up alot of room in my bedroom. I got the chair it had 0 smell to it which was great, looked good, and was easy to put together.. Immediatly sitting in it i loved it. was comfy and the back support was great and its just tall enough on the back where my head can rest on it. Also the chair isnt too tall so i can slide my desks slide out and it doesnt rest on my legs. You know the slider thing where the keyboard and mouse go on that slides out and back under the desk. It was the perfect height so that sliding board doesnt rest on my legs and also my arms can rest on the arm rests at an even level with the keyboard and mouse which is very important when gaming. You dont want you elbows and arms to droop down below your keyboard and mouse.
However.. The downsides were the green mesh.. I can feel the mesh on my arms and elbows and its itchy. And the padding is pretty bad, its like some cheap 2 inch thick memory foam and after 1-2 hours my butt starts to feel it as i can feel the bottom almost. I can actually grab the cushoin with 1 hand pinching it on the end and my thumb can reach the bottom.

So i purchased another Gaming chair,
but its arms arent folding.. instead they raise up and down and it has that lumbar lower back support pillow that can adjust up or down and a pillow for the head or neck. Its feels great, but sadly the arm rests dont go down enough so i cant slide the chair under my desk and again the padding is pretty thin on the butt and the padding on the back is flat.. It has lumbar support and neck support but the middle of my back is arching outward and i feel like my back is a U shape due to these pillows... I really want a chair that will slide under my desk my room is cramped with a bed, desk, two night stands 20 lava lamps all over and a 135g 6 foot long fish tank and the extra walking room by having the chair outa the way is important. Also the fake leather on this chair is that really crappy fake leather like headphones have which flake apart in no time

I decided to go into local stores and actually sit in chairs. This is why i hate shopping online how big box stores and everything are going out business or how video games are digital downloads ect.. You cant physically feel and see what youre buying.. I have to guess.
I went to three stores and i finally found a chair that felt good. I sat in the chairs for hours in the stores so i could get a good long term feel for them.
I purchased this one, It has the arms that fold up, the leather is fake like every chair but its the really good vinyl/leather that lasts for a long time i can tell by just touching it each fake leather has that feel to it and you can tell which one is junk and which isnt. The padding is suuper supportive and soft. It has like a coil spring foam materical.. not actual metal springs but something about the foam is springy and thats what they advertise it as. Its breathable with the mesh sections you see in the pics and to bottom out on the seat i had to put my fist on it and push down with my body weight really hard to reach the bottom. Sitting in it for like 45 min it felt right as well. The only downside is the head support is like 4 inches too short i can still rest my head but not like the other two seats.
Also when i put it at my desk and started to get a feel for it with the desk, the chair is too tall when i slide out the keyboard/mouse slide my upper legs are rubbing it. Litterally the slide is resting on my crotch and because of this i cant lean the chair back and lay back as my legs will just lift the slide way up and itll fall off the hinges.. The first chair is low enough so it doesnt touch my legs even when i lean back .... Also i noticed one side is half an inch higher then the other side. The arm rests i mean. You can visually see it and i measured it and i can feel it when gaming using wsda keys and the other hand on the mouse. Also since the chair is higher up while my elbows and shoulders can rest evenly with the keyboard and mouse, my hands are actually sitting an inch lower it feels like.. So when i type and so forth that extra inch makes my shoulder sockets feel extended. Its the same effect if the chair is too low just the other way around.. Am i making sense ?

I guess im being really picky but i dont like being uncomfortable.. The first chair is perfect for height all around, the back support and head rest support is perfect. But the mesh is itchy and the butt padding is like non existant.. The 2nd chair i cant slide under the desk.. and the pillows make my back feel like being forced into a U shape like my being bent in the center and that fake leather is headphone leather which falls apart in months. 3rd chair is perfect for padding comfort, but its overall too high as the keyboard/mouse slide is resting on my upper thighs and crotch litterally its pressing up against my D.. And its uneven 1/2 higher on one side..
I dunno, what would you guys do ? Im thinking of just keeping the first chair but if having it for less than a week and my butt hurts already and the bad reviews stating it goes flat in a month.. that makes me go eh... So im not sure what to do.. I also like the 3rd because its softer.. but the height is eh and the uneven arms
