I am actually in the market for a new chair and it was in my list of considerations. Looks like I'll be skipping it.

It's crazy how much marketing it has! I'd say anyone who was looking at a chair who does gaming comes across Secretlab, I'm just sad it's clearly focused on looks (I mean, that's probably what makes it somewhat popular as streaming is a big thing, now, so it looks good for the camera!).

I was recently in the market for chairs. I'd heard good things about the Ikea series, so I first tried the Ikea Jarvfjallet and found the lumbar support and the cushion real uncomfortable, so I tried the Ikea Markus, but the cushion for that one was far too thin for my bony butt.

It seemed like I would have to spend more than the ~$200 asking price for the Ikea chairs to get something that felt good and healthy. Because of that I started to look into some remanufactured Steelcase Leap chairs, but eventually settled on a new Steelcase Amia Air (~$500 for the configuration I chose), and I quite like it. It feels healthy to sit on, even for long periods and it has improved my posture a lot. The cushion also feels a lot more high quality and it doesn't feel like I'm sitting on wood after a few hours. Besides that, it also just looks damn good, so I'd recommend it for a quality mid-price office chair.

My office chair (which I chose myself from Costco and got it reimbursed) is more comfortable than the Secretlab, and even though I WFH now, I'd know the difference: I've sat in that office chair sometimes all day if I had no scheduled on-site clients.  Per above (and of course my video), the lack of comfort is kind of nuts considering the price with comparable office chairs in which my Costco one was $180!  It's either you pay a fortune for an amazing office chair (like the CEO-grade ones lol), or you focus on comfort and get a good office chair.  I think there's something funky with gaming chair pricing, probably partly caused by Secretlab fooling some "gamers" who probably sit in cheapo $70 chairs from Walmart

I definitely don't have a bony butt, but like you, I do like to have some decent cushioning for my tushie!
