Max budget $1000 Can ($750 US).

Comfort - Every body type is different. I'm 6 ft 2, 175 lbs, long legged.

I've seen some mesh chairs, and I like the idea of a chair that's "breathable" so as to not get a sweaty back. But I don't know how comfortable they are.

I PC game and also play my consoles at my desk, so it will get a lot of use. I'm semi retiring in the fall, so even more time to game.

Preferably something that is available in Canada, or at least ships to Canada. Even better if it was from Amazon as I have lots of credit there.

My current $250 Can "Staples Serta" chair was comfortable enough in trying it out at the store. But over longer sessions, the lumbar support (adjustable) is never comfy. It's fake leather and if the temperature goes up at all, I get sweaty and gross.

I'm betting there are high end brands/models that almost everyone can agree on.

This was on sale a couple months back and hasn’t let me down

Essentials Racing Style Leather... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MCVDFDG/?tag=neogaf0e-20

With your budget you could buy 10 of them and combine them into Super Chair!

One day I’ll get a decent computer chair but I’ve always gone cheap and never been satisfied. Everyone of them was not what I’d hoped for

Maybe I’ll see one here and be tempted.

If you're in a decent sized city, check Craigslist or Facebook for a Herman Miller Aeron. Businesses buy them in bulk and when they downsize or shutter, they'll typically be sold off for $300-$350 or so each. Size B fits most people.

size C if you want it BIG.

Interesting. Did a quick look.

So it ticks the "mesh" box for sure. And they are comfortable despite not being stuffed with padding?

Herman Miller if you have that kind of budget. My workplace has the Mirra 2 model and they are very comfortable and highly adjustable. They even sent a sales guy over to teach everyone how to use it lol.

Herman Miller is really comfortable. I game in a Herman Miller Embody. Great chair, but can't go wrong with the Aeron either.

$750 should purchase a very good chair.

Comfortable is subjective:

Go to as many stores and locations as you can and actually sit in some chairs.

Examine the chairs carefully to see how well they are made and assembled.

Test all of the controls. Move around in the chair.

Should give you some sense of whether the chair is durable or not.

Select a couple of candidate chairs and look for online reviews by professional reviewers and verified buyers.

Just as a followup, I did end up purchasing a chair. I ended up going with a "Hyken" chair from staples. It's a low cost chair, and downright cheap when on sale. Its obviously not an Aeron, but it's got the mesh I wanted, and works well so far.

I used to sit on one of these at work for 6-8 hours a day and it was fantastic.
