Oh Gaad meh Back Recommendations needed for an aging PC gamer.

[Sesimie]

Ah man getting older.....i'll be 36 this year. And i seriously need a good recommended locally bought chair for those long Guildwars 2 and Dota 2 sessions. My old Trusty Chair is physically breaking apart after about 15 years of yeoman service! I'm looking for a High back chair with neck support.....My budget would be around $2000tt max. I've had to stop my Martial arts and other sports due to a slipped disc and rotator cuff injuries. Currently doing physio but i still want to peeeeeeeeyung! Any recommendations from the GATTers? Tell me where and price if possible.....i'm partial to south but for meh back i will make a Port of Spain run ( i dislike traffic especially with meh back!!)

At first I laughed, then realized i'm in the same boat. would be awesome to have a chair custom built according to the user.


You might want to start with getting professional advice on how to strengthen your back and core muscles, not staying in chair for too long etc.

Also saw some decent chairs in pricesmart in movietowne, that was during christmas tho, not sure if they are still available.

What you need is an ergonomic chair with lumbar support.

Them biatches are not cheap.  I don't even think your current budget is enough for one of those.  Prices range from 1200 for the 'pleb' chairs all the way up to 20K for the 'executive'.

You can check BeWIL on Philips St in Port-Of-Spain.

You'll have to go there and sit in one to decide which fit is best.  I think they have different models that cater to different issues like upper or lower back.

Give em a call.

Sadly I am in this boat as well. The joys of getting older....
I checked a few in ettes last week, pricey but they had some solid ones within your budget.

Didn't see anything good in pricemart and courts POS.

I'll check out bewil when I get a chance.

Actually, the same person who told me about BeWIL also mentioned that Ettes *might* have cheaper prices.

I've bought an office chair from pricemart in the less 6 months. It's not bad not great, with some additional padding it child provide the support you need (I've seen some special cushions designed to add support in my office).  That may be an affordable option as the chair was 1400 (pleather, adjustable,  etc)

pressure...the battle against time is the one battle we all lose

lol @ veg out

15 year is a lot of time. Real service from that chair boy. Mine is going on about 8 years now and is already falling apart. Only cost $450 at Wizz way back in the day, so I'm not complaining.

Let me know what you find at Ettes

Speaking of chairs, Arc, what you ultimately did with that chair we fixed? It might be good for the guy here.
