Can you check out the "ayalon" from Staples? Similar price and build quality to the popular hyken BUT to my untrained eye it's a great Aeron clone. Adjustable arm rest height, in out left and right, seat depth, tilt and tilt tension with a wider and (in my opinion) more comfortable seat than the hyken.

@StardustLegacyFighter Жыл бұрын
Can't even get the wooden one in the UK anymore, but honestly the height adjustment feels pretty clunky. If you have a height adjustable desk and chair, then technically you don't need a footrest. Although, I've heard about some ergonomic experts recommend a foot rocker to prevent your feet being static for long periods of time. However, if you definitely need a footrest, maybe check out Score, as they are very sturdy and have great height adjustment.

Surprised the foam one only got a 6/10, I'd probably prefer that since it's the simplest (nothing to really go wrong or break) and best for cleaning. You didn't mention anything about cleaning on the Kensington, interestingly. How is it in terms of that? I can't tell the top material above the memory foam.
@MrMega2002 жыл бұрын
Looks like to me a fixed fabric that you can't remove. I imagine like the ones with the grip tape materials(because that's what that is, skateboard grip material) you'd have to use a multi-surface, dish soap and water, or a mild green cleaner and a soft scrubbing brush to clean the fabric. Then point a fan or heater at it to let it dry out. Exposed foams have an bubbly airy texture to them. Sort of like how the EVA foam on your shoes have a texture on them. This is how you can tell the difference from an exposed foam or if it has fabric covering it.
@remotecontrolaxe2 жыл бұрын
@@MrMega200 yeah I wasn't sure if it was cloth or a leather-like material. If it's cloth, it would be way more difficult to clean than the simple foam one with the removable cover.
@Ahnestly2 жыл бұрын
The foam one got a 6/10 bc it really isn't great as a footrest as the curved top feels meh and the flat top is unusable bc it slides around so much! The Kensington is a fixed fabric like Nick mentioned. Because it's a much denser material, I imagine you can use a fabric cleaner for it!

I own the Ikea Dagotto footrest. They are really cheap and good too.
@BlairdBlaird9 ай бұрын
The Dagotto are not that cheap and they are not good: the metal frame is OK but the plastic plate just that, uniform cheap plastic, so it gets damaged as you rock it (you can feel that the sliding is not smooth and over time it starts spitting bits), and ultimately the plate will crack. Would not be an issue if Ikea sold cheap top plate replacements you could put on the (pretty solid) foot, sadly they don't, so you're out a footrest. Mine lasted 3 years. Which is longer than I expected when I got it and saw the unreinforced plastic, but hardly great. It's basically a better version of the mount-it: it's more stable, but the quality is bleh.

@@Ahnestly Every single ergonomics channel on this platform says, "knees bent at 90 degrees, feet/heels placed on the floor." At this point I am fairly certain it's all made up. xD I got an Embody x Logitech recently and I don't know if I am going to return it. I am 5 foot 6 inches male, 175 pounds, and I just cant seem to game comfortably in it. The arm rests dont adjust backwards and it feels like in order to game comfortably (at least competitively) I need to perch at the end of my chair. I think this idea of using lumbar support when competitively gaming is confusing people. Razer actually released this video where they had a PT guy on there talking about (Relaxed vs. Active Posture) when gaming and it's the only time it is ever mentioned in the entire collection of chair ergonomics on youtube. *shrug* I dunno. I'm at a loss. I really enjoy your channel though. Will continue to like all your content. If you were to tackle this particular topic in an upcoming video, I am sure it would perform very well.
