What Are the Best Chairs for TALL People? | What's the Best Chair for YOU Pt. 3

What's the BEST chair for YOU if you're 6' (183cm) or taller ?? Finding a good chair for tall people is really hard, as most chairs were made for shorter people. Instead of using a tier list or sifting through reviews, I'm doing a 3 part series where I recommend chairs specifically for YOU! To do this, I put out a questionnaire to my community on all my social media channels (follow me if you're not already!) and asked specific questions around seating preferences. Here are the chairs I recommend for my tall freak of nature friends out there based on various height, weight, seating preferences, and budget! Let's get Ahnest!

It's funny to hear people describe people taller than 6' a freakishly tall. Average male in The Netherlands is something like 6' or 6'1". I'm 6'5" and it usually doesn't take me more than 5 minutes of walking outside to spot at least someone that's taller than me. Unfortunately these guides aren't really applicable, because if it's suitable for someone 6'1", it's not at all guaranteed it will be suitable for 6'5" and above.

I’m a tall lanky guy 6’7 around 185-ish pounds and let me tell you the gesture has been one of the best purchases of my life. After some research I learned that backrest promote slouching somewhat but I really wanted the headrest, decided to try it without and it’s been fantastic. In a weird way it kind of taught me how to sit if that makes since.

Woot woot! Yeah the Gesture def promotes proper sitting!

Ares here, i got the secretlab awhile ago, due to me passing my exams flawlessly. I gotta admit, i can finally sit without getting a massive hurting back after an hour or so. I got the XL depsite being really leigtweighted. It sits perfectly. I'd recommend it for everyone with a medium budget

[@winningtopas615]

Hi Ares, I'm was wondering if you think the chair would be suited for me as well, I'm a little bit taller than you (204 cm) and really struggle with the position where my lower back hits chairs. Thanks for your addition to the video, I also live in the Netherlands, so its good to find more optionsthat are available here.

[@xviii6543]

@@winningtopas615 To be completely honest with you: I used to have a cheap 100 euro "gaming chair". As you might probably know, it really starts sitting uncomfortable or even hurt, after 2 hours ish. I do not suffer quite from these problems on the secret lab. Now i do have to say, the material is quite hard. Its steady and quality. What i mean by that is that the chair isnt by any means really soft to sit in, however, with how much you can optimize back support i think its still suitable for most situations. I dont think your height should be a big problem. Only thing i'd say is that your head pillow will have to be quite high up. Might you consider throwing away a medium budget, id safely say the titan is an alright option. Otherwise, if you haven't tried, go to the nearest ikea and see if a simple office chair suits your liking. If you have any particular questions, feel free to ask

Not sure if I can even do that at my weight anymore, but looking to lose weight. Thinking I like the Embody but never sat in it and it’s pretty pricey and I don’t know if I can swing it soon. I know you recommended the MFavour ergonomic chair in a different video, but not sure how to seek it out to try it.

I'm not uncomfortable on the Aeron, however I understand people don't like the plastic edge on the thighs, I'm on the mark if I get fatter I will begin to feel them. And for that reason Mirra 2 just isn't for me. It was uncomfortable after about 2 hours. Going back to the Embody, it also has better upper back support. HOWEVER if you pair an Aeron with the Atlas Headrest (which I do), it gets way better. Can't wait for the Embody Atlas headrest.

I'm 6'3" and 330 lbs, I bought a Steelcase series 2 earlier this year for $600. My wife took it (she's 5'4") and loves it so I had to buy another. I sit in it up to 10 hours a day and it's great. there's no headrest and the lumbar can be adjusted. the price included an upgrade to Rollerblade wheels.

[@Ahnestly]

Interesting! I have a series 2 in testing and I…can’t stand it :(

[@hugdeath929]

Was there an option for a headrest Vince?

[@VinceVDC]

@@hugdeath929 I didn't look for one. I'm tall and the top of the chair back ia at the bottom of my shoulder blades so it wouldn't have worked for me anyway.

Im 6'4 and and will live in Denmark, I have a Titan Evo 2022 chair and I will say the back support is really great but and it is a big but. It is is still Very hard to sit on. Alot softer than the 2020 titan but still very hard. If they ever make an offer for softer seat then I would say its the perfect chair for tall people but as it is my butt bones kinda hurts after long days in that chair.

I’m 6’6 and 280 pounds. I really need help with finding really good gaming chair options. Honestly, it doesn’t matter the price. Please help me Ahnestly

[@Ahnestly]

If you want race car style gaming, the XL titan evo 2022 from SecretLab is probably the best. If you want something more traditional, you’d be better off with a steelcase gesture with a headrest or a Herman miller embody and pick up the headrest later when it comes out. If you decide to pick up, please consider using my links! Helps the channel a LOT!

[@jeantortuga570]

I'm 6'5" tall and I'm here because I want to sell my Secretlab Titan XL 2020. It jusr doesn't feel right for me. The lack of lumbar support is really a downside for me. They should have included the lumbar support pillow like in the cheaper options but for some reason they don't. Otherwise, construction of the chair is still good. Might be a bit wobbly after so many years but generally ok

[@start8755]

[@roybuis7646]

I will probably not get a reply, as this video is 2 years old. But here it goes: I'm Roy, 194cm tall (6'4"), weigh around 112kg (247lbs), I sit for 10+ hours a day (home recording studio, gaming, and video editing). I like to lean back, I like lumbar support but not too aggressive, due to a low income my budget is €300,- or there abouts (can not save for a higher budget). Prefer fabric or mesh. Arm rests need to be either flip-up style or totally removable. Also like to sit reclined a bit. Tried the TecTake Springsteen chair, which was perfect in terms of seating position, but the build quality was awful, it creaked, popped, and banged from day 1 and you could feel the steel frame through the backrest cushion. Tried the Sharkoon Skiller SGS40 (Noble Chairs Hero copy), liked the seat and seat hight, armrests were awful, side bolsters were awful and limited my movement. Currently looking at Ikea Markus chair or Hinomi H1 Classic V3.

I'll give you a hard one. I'm 6'2 weigh 225lbs and I like to sit completely upright 90 degrees when I work on my desk. $1500 is my limit. I don't care about anything else but that it supports my lumbar and my upper back so I can relax at the upright 90 degrees sitting position. I use to use the Ikea chair but they don't offer it anymore. It was a cheap 70$ chair that did the job. I've tried the embody, gesture, leap and they all leave you leaning backwards at their highest position, this forces you to slouch your shoulders forward when you type. As a software developer this is a big no no for me.

Titan or Amia for 6’1?

[@Ahnestly]

I like the Amia better for pure sitting, but titan has a little more flexibility - lean back lounge mode (or what I call bliss mode) and ability to sit in all kinds of ways thanks to bigger seat pan. My recommendation - get an Amia (steelcase is having a 15% off sale and free returns). If you like it a lot, keep it. If not, could try and return and try a titan evo 2022 (keep in mind returns aren’t free with Secretlab). Whichever you decide, please consider using my links as it helps my channel a LOT!

[@BlockCylinder]

Hey man, I appreciate you doing this but I really wish you had gone further. The tallest person in your examples was 6'4", which is certainly above-average but still within the range of what's normal. I'm 6'8" and I didn't learn anything from this video. It would have been great to see clips of people at various heights sitting in various chairs. I think that's the type of content that actual tall people are yearning for. I bought a used Aeron in size C and I'm finding the seat is too deep and narrow for my hips. It may be suitable for taller people and heavier people, but it's not made for big-boned people. Seeing real examples and hearing from real tall people and heavy people would be much more impactful.

Hahaha at 6’6, you really run out of clear options. I would recommend a gesture w headrest, embody, or a gaming chair at that height. Soft backs all the way through but you may find your back hanging off the chair - I’ve talked to a few guys that said a headrest can help give them a little more support although not sure the gesture headrest can reach that high

[@Colapepper]

I'm also 6'6 in the US and have been going through videos and reviews like crazy trying to find something that would work. I tried the Haworth Fern but am returning it, back height was mostly okay, but the seat pan was no good and too short and became painful. Starting to accept that at our height we're pretty limited to the high back gaming chairs, just ordered the noblechairs hero cause it's got a subtle style. The X-Chairs X4 looks like it could work, but very spendy

[@Ahnestly]

Any 6’6 guys that can give input? My go to for your height is the steelcase gesture, embody, and titan evo 2022. You’ll want a soft back all the way up and as noted before, the headrest can give additional upper back support.

While I appreciate the information here, the fact that when given a budget, your response was to say "save up more" rather than find a chair that fits into it makes this information kind of useless for anyone that isn't well off. Which I imagine is pretty common. I don't have the cash to spare to blow over $500 usd on a chair, and am looking to replace mine with something for 4-5 years and then maybe go for a premium chair then. Please choose an example person who has a cheaper budget than $500 usd.
