Question Gaming Seats

Hi,
I will soon be getting a G25 Racing Wheel and im thinking of buying a gaming seat to get the most out of it, has anyone got any advise on the best seat to buy? So far i've come across one made by a company called Gamepod and one by a company called Gameracer and they both claim to be the best and used by expert racing drivers. They both look very good but they are also very expensive so i was just wondering if anyone has any feedback on these seats on anything else thats good?

I think these are a waste, there expensive, space consuming and awkward

I have a Pyramat sound rocker, its quite uncomfortable but putting a cushion behind you helps that, other than that its a brilliant chair

Yea i've looked at one of those Doki and they look good but i want one which i can attach a steering wheel and pedals to.

@Stevie

Your right about them being expensive, it is alot of money just for a seat. Some of the ones i've looked at fold away quite nicely so they shoudn't take up to much space but i've never had one before so i dont know whether its worth getting one or not.

Well if you have money and space to burn go for it or you could always steal a sit out of an old fiesta and make one yourself!!

Lmao don't get me wrong i certainly havn't got money to burn but like i say it seems the best way to get the most out of having a wheel instead of having the thing sat on your lap. It probably would be cheaper to try and make one myself, a mate of mines got a couple of bucket seats for sale so all id have to do is bodge some sort of frame together lol.

Yes I also used his tooth brush to clean up his **** in the toilet.

Anyway, I can't remember the make of the seat but he bought it from GamePlay, both the seat and the steering wheel. I had a look on GamePlay but it doesn't seem to be there anymore
But as a heads up its blue and black

Cheers Doki i'll keep an eye out for that one and make sure i don't buy it.

MMCCX, i suppose i probably could build my own, all it is is a seat and somewhere to rest a wheel and pedals so it should be quite straight forward really but i don't know depends if i can be assed or not lol.
