I returned to playing computer after years of playstation. When I stopped playing, I was much younger than I am now.
Age: 33

So I have that cheap office chair but on long sessions I can feel some stress in my back. Don't have that in the office at work - but those chairs are probably much better.
So right now I'm struggling to find a decent chair that actually is good for my back and not just a chair that can bend back if you know what I mean.
So as I already struggled finding the right keyboard and mouse, I am struggling with finding the right chair. I don't want to pay a fortune but also know that a good chair will not come off cheap.
A friend suggested Secretlab and also spoke about Back force one or something like that.
What should I pay attention to, next to weight and stuff, and what can you actually recommend?
I have a 2022 Secretlab Titan and I've really enjoyed it for the 2 years I've used it. It's sturdy and can adjust to whatever sitting position I need at the moment which is exactly what I need as someone who is always adjusting their sitting position. They're on the stiffer side but it's not uncomfortable, at least once you break it in within a month.
I have to say though -- despite them actually getting a decent amount of praise for their adjustable lumbar support, I can't imagine them being better for your back than a high quality used office chair like many other people already suggested. So it really just depends on what you want to prioritize.
I wouldn't suggest a used Secretlab since their warranty is only 3-5 years depending on if buyers showed it off on social media or not, so if you're buying it new vs a used premium office chair, both would roughly cost the same at around $500.
Anyway, if you have any other questions about the chair, feel free to ask!
