PC office chair vs. Next Level Racing Flight Seat Pro Boeing

Featured Replies

I'm using a regular PC office chair with two bass shakers, but I wonder if there'll be huge a difference if I'd go with the Next Level Racing Flight Seat Pro Boeing Military Edition vs the regular PC office chair, regarding the bass shakers.
Are there pros / cons with the NLR seat Pro Boeing Military Edition vs the regular PC office chair?
Any advices are welcome, thank you.

I apologize if I posted in the wrong place

I strongly believe that an office chair is an order of magnitude more comfortable than a gaming chair. Gaming chairs are based on flight chairs or racing car chairs. Those types of chairs were not designed for comfort, but to protect you in a crash, to hold your head and protect your neck.

I bought a used steelcase office chair from the company that made this video. They sell all the major brands of office chairs. They used to sell gaming chairs for years, but their salemen did not like them when tested against office chairs. I bought the $385 (out of stock oldest Leap V.2). Extremely comfortable.

The only other seller I considered to be as reliable was Crandall:

The Herman Miller chairs and the Steelcase are the two most loved office chairs.

+1 for SteelCase - we had SteelCase chairs in our business for years (don't remember the models...from the '90s) - they last forever and are VERY comfortable. I bought a new Leap chair from a reseller (no SteelCase warranty) for around $400 brand new. I don't like the Leap as well as the chairs we used in our business but it's not bad. I would like to get back to a nicely padded SC chair and will probably by buying one in the near future.
