Don't get a chair with cheap foam like that. Get one that uses mesh instead. More breathable, and it'll last way longer. Ikea may have some. The Staples Hyken is pretty decent for the price, if you get it on sale (<$150).

The Herman Miller Aeron chair is still the best, but it's very expensive. You might be able to get a good deal at a store that sells ex-office furniture, but a "good deal" for the Aeron is still $500-600. I think there's some Amazon stores that sell them second hand. If you buy one new, they have a 15 year warranty that covers practically everything. My employer had a pretty big discount on new new ones for home use, from the supplier they use for the office.

A mesh surface is not automatically longer lasting. Quite the contrary, actually:

Mesh is "less material per surface". This means more stress is put on the strands than for a full cover upholstery.

Mesh is open, which over time means that dirt and grime will start gathering in the cushion beneath the mesh. This can end up pretty nasty over the years of heavy usage.

In the end, it's always about proper materials: good quality foam exists and are used by some, but obviously it's usually more expensive. Same for the surface material: there's super cheap PVC leather that will start flaking off in weeks, and there's high quality PVC leather that will last a decade. Or just go for real leather if you got the money. All of the closed surfaces have the advantage of being incredibly easy to clean and maintain: simply wipe them with a wet towel. For real leather, only a tiny bit of extra care is needed ( waxing ).

the cushion beneath the mesh.

Neither my wife's chair nor my chair has a cushion underneath the mesh. It's just plastic underneath the mesh, and you can easily wipe dust off the plastic.

This means more stress is put on the strands than for a full cover upholstery.

While that may be true, I've had more issues with foam chairs than mesh chairs.

There are some foam + upholstery chairs that are very good though, like the Steelcase Gesture (which rivals the Herman Miller Aeron).

Bshole?

Yeah, you know, his bullshithole

Fair enough.

Shitty gaming chairs fall apart like this. There are a lot of shitty gaming chairs. Funny, I got what I thought was a cheap-ass ikea chair and it’s still trucking along just fine.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (4 children)

I fucking hate my Milberget chair from Ikea. I was there a few weeks ago checking out chairs and didn't find a single one that waw comfortible. Which one do you have?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Get one that uses mesh instead of foam.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

I gave a couple of those a spin. But of course almost any chair feels still somewhat okay to sit in for 5 minutes.

What's the deal with them?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Funny you should ask...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I can recommend the Corsair TC100.

At less than 180€ it was way cheaper than my previous one and is so mucb more comfortable.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

I'll check that out, thanks!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Markus. Don’t know if they make them anymore, had it for years.

Edit: yes, they’re still made, but they’ve been changed a little and are more expensive.

One time my cousin Walter got this cat stuck in his ass, true story. He bought it at our local mall so the whole fiasco wound up on the news. It was embarrassing for my relatives and all, but the next week he did it again! Different cat, same results complete with another trip to the emergency room. So I run into him a week later at the mall and he's buying another cat and I says to him Jesus, Walt, what are you doing? You know you're just gonna get this cat stuck in your ass too, why don't you knock it off! And he says to me "Thebeardedsinglemalt, how the hell else am I supposed to get the gerbil out?"

My couson was a weird guy

I hate to say it but your boyfriend is having sex with his chair.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I've had cheap fake leather chairs do this because they get wet from my ass and back sweating all over them. But I'd replace them long before they got this fucked up.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Anal leakage, also too much spicy food?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Seems probable

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I’m pretty sure in the comment they confirmed it was from sitting cross legged with shoes on.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

No, anal emissions are the only expansion.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

User error. Check.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

Hydrogen Sulfide can damage concrete, not sure about the chair tho

[–] [email protected] 52 points 2 months ago

I'm pretty sure this is how

Lemmiwinks has made it out, his tale is nearly through

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Had to scroll way too far for a Lemmiwinks reference, especially on Lemmy.

Taco bell claims another chair

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

That chair looks ripped up, if it was taco bell it would look more melted and/or burnt 🤔

[–] [email protected] 46 points 2 months ago

JD Vance's fetish is broader than we knew previously. Gaming Chair BDSM.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 months ago

He clearly ripped out his skidmark rather than clean it

[–] [email protected] 36 points 2 months ago

Only guess is bro doesn't wipe or shower very well and is constantly doing the itchy-butthole-wiggle in his chair.
