This Chair Has a Spine - Cougar Terminator Chair

From a man who has been fired unlimited times but still seems needed for work, it only makes sense.

[@DataDrifterOFC]

[@MrEsphoenix]

For that price i'd at least want the spine to be functional. It was the perfect opportunity to have a fully adjustable chair where the sections could be individually adjusted using joints in the spine.

[@Dan-Simms]

I know, that's what I thought it was able to do at first glance, what a let down.

[@Hotlog69]

For that price, it better adjust your spine as well.

[@ericqhochuli6004]

I am halfway through the video, I thought that was the whole point of this thing...

[@lewisandpark]

Whos to say that it doesn't, I mean the one guy complained about the upper pillow and they both mentioned the hole in the back. Soooo why not remove the upper pillow and put the cover back in the back? I need to see a real in depth review with someone who can put it together and try all the features. Just a thought.

[@Kurisutm]

Its surprising how not a single gaming chair out there has bothered to try and make the chair ergonomics or adjustable in any way. They're all just bucket seats with a different skin for outrageous prices. Dont bother with this and get an ergonomic chair instead. They may not look as gamer-y but you'll actually be comfortable in them.

[@Mediaright]

HM or Steelcase are the way. [especially second-hand]

[@emma70707]

Seriously... My refurbished Steelcase Leap is amazing and costs like $440 with tons of adjustability. Who would spend $800 for this junk that's uncomfortable for everyone but maybe the 1% of bodies who match the designers? You can easily get Aerons for less than $800. Other than rich teenage boys who find the spine thing cool and don't have aching joints yet, lol, who's their market?

[@zackzeed]

Gamers Nexus did a nice video on the gaming chair market a while back. This chair and other just keep confirming that video xD Honestly, overpriced crap that won't even last that long when it's already broken when it arrives lol haha

[@accelement3499]

lol you can see it rocking in the "locked" position for 8-900 that is silly

[@shaolinmaster8583]

They just slap racing seats on everything and the problem with racing seats is the have to properly conform to your body to be mildly comfortable but there designed to prevent injury Incase a car rolls over....not comfort

[@trillian-g]

When your new ergonomic chair needs lumbar pillows - you probably missed something in R&D.

[@coherentpanda7115]

Pretty sure minimal R&D is ever done on these chairs. It's all marketing bs and slapping cheap plastic on the outside to make it look fancier.

[@usseg]

Let's spend years and hours of CAD and design work making a sick looking chair!...O, we want pillows...just janky strap them on.

[@lonesoldier2485]

For $800 USD, the pillows should be magnetic.

[@bisterkding9249]

high price chairs shouldn't even need tacky pillows to feel comfortable imo

Ergonomic chair had already been made and perfected. All gaming chair can add is aesthetic, and man that went out fast in a few years. Just buy a well known ergonomic chair. Your ass and spine well thank you for years to come.

[@mafiahalo93]

big and tall executive office chairs works great too

[@Chipsaru]

@@mafiahalo93 not really, they are not ergonomic and usually made of wood and leather just for good looks

[@jyunnheikusada7003]

@@mafiahalo93 It depends. In my workplace, the office chairs are not from some famous brands, but I can recognize the elements it "borrow" from Aeron chair. More precisely speaking, a copy of Aeron chair with cost down mechanism. In that case, Yes, office chair may be the best choice. Because it has all the wheels ergonomic chair already invented. But many office chair are just as bad as gaming chair in ergonomics. The same principle may apply on gaming chair, but somehow gaming chair refused to adopt those design.

[@mafiahalo93]

@@jyunnheikusada7003 well if you have an office depot store or staple office store near you they have those kind of chairs on display and you can test them out and sit in them to see how it fits and what not or just give it a try and I'm not gonna lie i have fallen asleep in it a few times and woke up the next morning still in the chair wondering how the hell i got here LOL. plus the chair i mention comes with a 10 year warranty and can support up to 400LB though i weight around 320-330LB which is kinda close to a lot of gaming chair max weight which is around 300LB to 350LB

[@seraph8672]

I spent $400 10 years ago on a la-z-boy executive chair from staples which has been the most comfortable chair I have ever had, and despite weighing over 250 myself I have never had issues with the piston going flat or the cushions wearing out. It's made of steel and wood, and will probably still be perfectly serviceable long after I am gone. I can't see paying $800 for this thing unless you are REALLY into the aesthetic.

[@SyntheticFuture]

I do love that spine design. Dope. That being said: 800 bucks is insane. And that chair is waaaaay to bulky. There's no way I'd sacrifice that much room space just for a chair. But I do like that spine. A lot.

Any chair that looks like a car bucket seat will distort your back. You don't need support against G-forces. Your back needs to rest on a pole and have a great lumbar support, preferably build-in inflating cushion. Therapia and other manufacturers make chairs like that. Herman-Miller is another good brand to buy from.

[@Nullpersona]

Adding 10+ pounds of decorative vertebrae, while using cheap casters, flimsy covers on corners, and inadequate packaging, really shows their priorities: Plastic and pleather pillows.

[@linkfain1]

If you're looking for a good "gaming" chair that's actually worth it and comfortable get an AndaSeat Kaiser 3. Usually on sale for $450 US. It has 4D armrests, magnetic cooling gel neck pillow, big cushion seat that is comfortable and slightly firm, and actual built in lumbar support. Two knobs for lumbar height and depth along with cloth or leather chair options. Also it's almost $300 dollars less than this cougar terminator. If you don't have the money for the $1200 office ergo chairs then the Kaiser 3 is the one to buy. It's got plenty of leg room for me to sit with my legs crossed on the seat or to lean and lounge in for comfort. I'm 6'0" tall 215 lbs and it's been great. If you're 5'10" or above then get the XL version of the chair. The only real difference is the gas cylinder height range. I've tried the secretlabs titan chair and while the lumbar support on that one is better the chair is an awful rock that made my butt go numb faster than a cement bench. Returned it in a week. The RS gaming devanti chair from office max is a close second for me but will need some kind of cushion for the back. Anyway I hope this helps someone so they don't mistakenly buy this $800 dollar piece of crap.

See, what kills me about this product is if you want a chair that can suspport and keep you cool, a basic-bitch office chair can do you heaps better. Colin Chapman said it best; _Simplify, then add lightness._ No gaming chair is simple, and it's a damn shame.

[@Brogboolius_Maximus]

That chair looks absolutely SICK. But, I think the search continues for what to replace my aging Steelcase Leap with. I've just gotten used to having way too many adjustability options that these "cooler" chairs just don't have. If you're going to be sitting in a chair for 8+ hours while gaming or working from home, it NEEDS to have adjustable seat tilt/depth, adjustable lumbar, etc. Your joints will thank you.

[@AbiRizky]

Been looking into the Leap and HM Sayl, what would you say is the drawback of the Leap? I kept seeing people complain about the seat not being very supportive around the back is this true?

[@Brogboolius_Maximus]

@@AbiRizky It supports my back perfectly, but for reference, I'm 6'2 and sit pushed all the way back on the seat. The lumbar support and seat positioning is quite adjustable, but maybe if you need it to push out further it could be a problem? I spent some time adjusting it perfectly to fit me, and have no complaints. The only downside in my opinion is that it's not a tall chair, so no headrest. It's only rarely a problem for me, since I hardly ever lean all the way back in the chair, but if that's how you sit, it might be a problem. You can lock the reclining or just stiffen the resistance so you really have to push to lean it back, which is perfect for me. Also, my chair is around 12 years old now, and the cushion is still comfortable to my big fat butt, and the piston has only barely started to slowly leak (I have to raise the chair back up every month or so). I'm just looking for future replacement options if this thing ever breaks.

[@AbiRizky]

@@Brogboolius_Maximus thanks. You're quite a bit taller than me and from what I've read the problems seem to happen for people somewhat shorter than me (I'm around 5'9ish, most complaints I read are from 5'6-5'8 tall people). So I guess I'm somewhere around the middle in terms of whether I get good support from the chair or not. Also, what about the back rest? I know the stiffness is adjustable but do you have any problems with it being too stiff/not stiff enough? Say if you push hard when it's at the stiffest setting, does it move a lot? Sorry for the questions, the Leap costs a lot of money where I live

[@Brogboolius_Maximus]

@@AbiRizky No worries, getting recommendations online about chairs is such a mess. There are so many factors to consider, and everyone seems to prefer different things. For the back rest, it's really quite adjustable. I have it at the stiffest setting which holds me upright even with moderate pressure, but if I push back, I can get it to hold stable at all sorts of angles. For someone lighter than me (I'm a pretty heavy guy), they can just keep it at a lower stiffness and it would do the same thing. You can also lock the recline entirely at 5 different angles if you never want to go past a certain point when leaning. Fully unlocked feels like about 45° of lean. It's worth checking whether the current Leap has these features listed too, since mine is old enough now that it might be a previous model. I doubt it, but you never know.

Until gaming chair companies actually focus on ergonomics first. Just stay away from them completely. Get a good proper office chair. Also don't cheap out on a chair, get something you can see as an investment for your health. It's cheaper in the long run, over having spinal issues and back pain later in life.
