Executive chairs - why are they ignored over task chairs?
We discuss proper chairs for being the sedentary shits we are with good reason here on /g/, and overwhelmingly an aeron or leap is what we push, mind that most of the internet does anyway.
But task chairs are not for the task. You are meant to use them a COUPLE to a FEW hours at a time.
Imagine the comfort you would have in these chairs that resemble the chairs of airport towermen or truckers, designed truly so that the worker can be sedentary. You're chinese cartoons were never so comfy.
How effective are those 24 hour chairs? Namely the OFM 247. My biggest gripe is the cushion flattening, my current chair feels like sitting on a wooden bench

It's because they could easily cost more than an average PC build

I don't know anymore if you want a highback/headrest chair then you need executive and it ends up being 2000 dollars so fuck it I'm going to just buy this stupid racer chair.
Buy a regular chair--four legs, upholstered, wood--and just get up every few hours.

Just buy a moderately wide one with a flattish seat and sit cross legged. It's way more comfy than hurting your butt on some narrow homo chair.
Exec seats are for people who don't spend all day sitting behind a desk. Most execs don't do that. They just like something comfy and flashy looking. A 'working' chair for long periods requires proper ergonomics.

Imagine the comfort of a chair designed by butt engineers to comfortably park your ass in for multiple hours at a time, but with literal junk-yard prices. It's called a car seat, stupid. Get a Volvo, or some luxury car seat from a junkyard, don't get a fucking DX Racer pretend car seat. Real ones at full retail price are half that expensive and far more comfy. Depending on how clever/scared of housefires you are, you could even wire up the seat heating that luxury cars can option in. Even a professional-grade racing car seat isn't that fucking expensive if you are really just trying to be a race-car poser and not focusing on comfort.
The bolt holes on a car seat aren't going to line up to a chair base, so drill some holes and bolt that to a plate of metal, drill 4 more holes and bolt that plate to a base of a reasonably sturdy and large gas lift chair that you found giveaway on craigslist, garage sale or the side of a road. Done- a couple of $100 at most, with the majority of the work being the junkyard search.
I was going to buy an Aeron literally tomorrow after work, but now I am thinking maybe I should check out some smashed up cars on the weekend instead.
