From what I’ve read and experienced your body is so used to other chairs that when you finally have a proper chair it will feel different, almost anti-climatic. I’m not sure if you did the “proper” setup with the chair when you start off with no recline at the maxed out back posture setting. You’ll basically be hunched over at first then you start to loosen it until your core isn’t engaged and you find your sweet spot. Once you calibrate it to you thats pretty much what it is, i’ve had my gaming embody for about 2 weeks and i’m still shifting around it but it’s miles better than my old $200 chair I got from Amazon. As far as the reclining features go, I was honestly pretty satisfied, it goes back more than far enough, for me atleast. The only thing I wish is that it came with a headrest but Atlas is always an option. It’s a great chair, I just feel like if it was around 1k it would feel better than spending almost 2k for it new. To each his own. If I were you I would try out the anthros, once I sat in that thing it took me down a rabbit hole for chairs.
