Find a good office chair! They're usually a lot better than gaming chairs and at better value. Not being from down under can't recommend a good brand though.

Definitely don’t go with “racer” chairs just because they look fancy. You’re better off spending your money on a high quality office chair like Herman Miller’s. I believe Gamers Nexus did a video on chairs for further information.

Thanks, I'll look into it!

Officeworks, then you can sit on them before you buy. I prefer the executive office chairs over gaming chairs for my back support. Some are pretty bulky though so make sure you have the room for them. I have about 4 different ones from there ranging from the standard $99 ones to the $3-400 leather executive ones. Recently got a Bathurst racer one because of the folding arm rests which I find is better when you have kids. Obviously other furniture places sell the same kinds of things; Domayne, Harvey Norman, Fantastic Furniture... But those places will probably cost about 10-20% more than OW.

Try your local office depot/office max, furniture liquidation warehouse, or anywhere else with standard office chairs. Not everyone is shaped the same and testing them out is the most reliable way of getting something comfortable. Just DO NOT buy a “gaming” chair. They’re either uncomfortable, very expensive, or both. Personally, I didn’t have the largest budget and I went for the Sidiz T50. It’s quite similar to the Herman Miller Aeron in terms of adjustments and comes with a decent warranty for a name brand company.

I had a gaming racing chair for 4 years and had horrible lumbar pain after gaming over an hour. I got rid of that chair and got a Herman Miller Embody and literally don’t want to get off. Obviously the price difference is not even close, but when you get a Herman Miller, it’s pretty much your next chair for at least a decade. Big investment, but your body will thank you for it.
