any owners of Alterseat CG Prime Gold experiencing mesh sagging? I went to alterseat's damansara uptown showroom to test the prime gold and there were 2 models with different colorways that had very different seat feeling. 1 was stiff and the other just sagged all the way to the bottom.

User Alterseat DT330.... not that great. The cushion is good and supportive but the back support is just meh and overall built quality is medium at best

Judging from the 3 types you shared, it seems you haven't decided what type of material you prefer: mesh, leather, fabric etc. I personally recommend mesh (and using one myself).

Comfort: mesh doesn't accumulate heat like leather (worst) and fabric would. In terms of material softness/"nice to touch", it's not as good as fabric because it generally feels harsher... But rest assured, it doesn't prick or rub your skin in the wrong way.

Durability: I can't tell yet because my seat is only 1yo... But so far so good la. I hate leather because I sweat quite a lot and leather requires more care, else it deteriorates real fast and bad.

Once you've decided on material, you'll be able to narrow down your selections. Generally, the seat should be adjustable in as many ways as possible to get the best fit. To give more perspective, I'm using Sihoo M57 which is within your budget (?) But doesn't have adjustable armrest width wise so the seat becomes too wide for my arms to rest properly:(

Best to test all 3 variants out yourself. I tried type 2 and found the seat not comfortable enough for my liking, and this is just from 5 mins.

Initially I thought the CG Prime price was steep, but got fed up with discomfort and pain. Also convinced myself I'd to spend 1.4k instead of on unknown medical bills as a result of bad posture when I'm older.

Thank you so much to both of you for the response. After going through the thread on the responses and also went to alterseat showroom to sit on it. I had decided to buy CG Prime.

And I do agree some of you here that mentioned the workmanship and the built quality is medium at best for 1k to 2k, so cant really ask for more.

Hopefully I made the right decision

I am having the same dilemma as well picking a chair for my WFH setup. I went to IKEA to try Flintan, Markus, Millberget, Langfjall etc.

Markus is comfortable except I hate the armrest material. Feels like a sticky rubber. And the headrest is too high for my height (I'm 165cm). Langfjall is the best but it is high back w no head rest.

Was reading LYN forum and look for other alternatives as well - Anggun, Steelcase.. but I have not tried them.

Next that I tried was Altercase chairs at their showroom. CG Prime mesh material and lumbar support is quite good, and I also like how easy to adjust the lumbar support, but the headrest is the problem again. Too high for me, even when set at lowest position. The SA there mention it is more suited for people 170cm and above.

Long story short, I ended up buying LIV 10 even though it is the low end range of Altercase. It ticks most of the boxes with the headrest suits my size and provide very good support to my neck. None of the DT or CG model can beat that (for my body).

Point is, when choosing chair, I think testing it out is the best way of choosing. If I just based on my reading, I definitely would have bought CG Prime. Despite its bells and whistles, I would still be disappointed as would not get good fit from the headrest.

Alterseat, with its showroom and friendly SA, really makes buying and choosing easier for me. Took me about 15mins to test out their ranges and decide. I really recommend going there, or any other showroom brand that you prefer to try out. That would help you by a lot to make decision and save a lot of time being in dilemma just by reading (like me 😂)

I have been using Razer Iskur for a year+ already and it's really a solid chair.

Here's the list of pros and cons if anyone is looking to buy one:

Pros
1. Solid build quality. (Surprised everything is still in great condition after 1 year. And I sit on this chair everyday for at least 5 hours)
2. Amazing lumbar support. (It looks super gimmicky but it really does work. Your lower back is completely supported so you can sit for hours on it)
3. It is so comfy to sit on.

Cons
1. It gets hot (The version I got was the leather version, so if you don't turn on the aircon the seat will get quite hot, especially under hot weather)
2. The chair is kinda small (I have quite a slim body but the Iskur still feels kinda small to me)
3. The neckrest is not adjustable and the neck pillow is horrendous (Luckily you can remove the pillow)
4. This chair is bloody heavy

All in all, Iskur is a good chair, if you don't mind the look (I mean it screams Razer all over the chair) However, I would actually prefer a mesh office chair over Iskur simply because its leather and neckrest is not adjustable. Highly recommend you to try it out if first before purchasing. You can try it in Gamers Hideout in Sunway Pyramid if you live in Klang Valley.

Also, don't get the Iskur X, it sucks in comparison to the Iskur. For that price I would go with Alterseat. I tried their CG Prime and Plus, they are awesome.

I was looking to buy a new chair as I am starting to have a lower back pain. Almost purchase Space 1k+ chair. Luckily found this thread.

Bought M57 from Lazada during 11.11 sales. Just received the chair today. Previously was using cheap RM200 chair. Was using it daily coz I'm still WFH.

From a brief test with M57, it suits me well. I am near 180cm and the chair fits me perfectly. It is well build and definitely worth the price I paid for it which is RM726

I truly concur with what you said. I had went to alterseat showroom twice, the second time, I literally just sat at CG Prime for more than 30 minutes just to really feel the chair.

And I must said the staff was really friendly and politely explain and answer all the questions despite I asked similar questions repeatedly. That’s why I decided to go for their flagship on the second visit

Any good recommendation?

Hi, is anyone aware of any ergonomic chair with replaceable seat?

I tried several chairs (price range from 500+ to 1000+) over the years and all of the chairs 1st problem is their cushion gets thinner and harder when you sit more. Eventually it's feel like you are sitting on rock. So it will be great if we can replace the sitting cushion once in a while to let the chair last longer.

Any gc prime alterseat owner? Are you satisfied with it?

I just tested the unit in showroom, very comfortable, but unfortunately the seat cannot adjust the height, probably broken.

Hello. How long have you been using Sihoo M57? I have been thinking about getting one. It has become a 'need' rather than just a 'want' recently.
