Gaming Furniture

Comfortable just looking at it
Comfortable just looking at it

I did a mini renovation to my house last summer and part of that was a major clean up and throwing out a lot of junk; including all of my cheap busted living room furniture; 6 months later and I still haven't replaced any of it and I've been sitting on the most uncomfortable wooden Ikea office chair.

I've always been a couch guy, but I can't seem to find one that is long enough for 6'3" me to comfortably stretch out on that isn't also a $3000 sectional that looks like trash.

The one thing that my Ikea office chair has done well with is VR; being able to to sit and freely spin about has worked well for some VR games, so now I'm looking at recliners that swivel. Last night I started to look around at what is available online and read lots of great thinks about Ekornes and Fjords, found out where they were sold locally and went for a sit; damn is furniture ever expensive, I had no idea, nice recliners seem to start at $1800 and can very easily get into the $4-5k range for a chair. The Ekornes Admiral chair may be the most comfortable thing I've even sat on in my life but I'm not sure I could ever justify the price.

So now I'm still sitting on my wood but I'm full of supple leather dreams, what to do...

What are you sitting on?

I sit on this awful wicker couch. Actually my favorite gaming chair would be a quality kids la-z-boy style chair if the tv is at a good level. My body size just fits one of those. My gf laughs every time I try out the kid recliners. I haven't gotten one YET…

I play most of my games on a 30+ year old wooden chair with a foam-ish seat cover.

A $1300 sectional from Costco. Comfortable and a nice neutral grey/blue color. We have it set up in an uneven U shape. My husband lies down on the longer end (3 pieces of the sectional) and at just 6'0, has at least 6" of extra leg room. I usually sit up and am perfectly comfortable. We bought it when we moved and actually had to sleep on it for about two weeks until our stuff showed up. We call it couch bed and it's where our guests sleep as well. My favorite piece of furniture for sure.

A heads up, don't fall for the "bonded" leather furniture that's cheaper. That stuff falls apart. Fell for it when I moved out at 19. Lasted maybe 3 years before the "leather" started falling apart.
