I've never had one of these chairs, but I imagine them as the equivalent of bean-bags with speakers. How comfy are these things?

I've used one before and they're actually very hard and really uncomfortable, but most of the pain is supposed to be negated by the fact that you're supposed to just kinda rock back and forth on it all the time.

That desk chair design looks like the worst thing on earth though

They're okay if you're a little kid who likes rocking back and forth. Nowadays, these things look like joint pain given physical colorful gamer form.

I use a confy couch, usually.

Ages ago I had one of these made by a proper furniture company, padded like an armchair and tastefully upholstered in fabric. It was very comfortable. Looking at these flat backed chairs covered in non-breathable vinyl, probably not so much.

 

[Frexxos]

those chair types looks so uncomfortable.... *leans back in his noble chair hero*

 

[FAST6191]

Not usually worried about aesthetics but that is a hard pass from me.

 

[limpbiz411]

cant wait to see these at every garage sale in 5 years from now, just like every other gamer chair.

I loved my rocker when I was a teenager who had a TV on the floor, and the rest of his life to worry about back problems

I had a chair like that as a kid early 90's (was also Nintendo branded) it was extremely comfortable, but honestly I don't know if it had a negative impact on my posture, but it was never uncomfortable.

It was this except black

They don't look like they provide good lumbar supportOH MY GOD I'M OLD

 

[Nerdtendo]

I rock an antique wooden desk chair. Why should I downgrade
