    Colamy Atlas vs 5188? Any suggestions between the 2?

  2. @PikaBolaChan on January 17, 2025 at 8:52 pm

    god. i wish most of these were for my country in Australia. the gotdam Atlas is $1,100 here!

  3. @SpieleSuchti894 on January 17, 2025 at 8:54 pm

    the colamy atlas literally doesnt deliver to europe. i hate seeing it so much

  4. @ruikiakiyoshi on January 17, 2025 at 8:55 pm

    Is Ticova simillar to Sihoo M56/57?

  5. @SkylineOwnz on January 17, 2025 at 8:57 pm

    The Atlas is 100x better

  6. @damianclarkson on January 17, 2025 at 8:57 pm

    Have you tried the desktronic sit pro? Looks a nice chair for the price.

  7. @voyagerdecoded on January 17, 2025 at 9:04 pm

    its amazing how out of touch content creators are with reality, to even suggest that $300 is considered a "tight budget" is laughable that is a substantial budget bro

  8. @Detends-Toi on January 17, 2025 at 9:05 pm

    What do you suggest for 6’5 tall people ? For cheap, mid and high budget please. I’m just tall, not big : I weigh 216 lbs. It would be great to have someone about this size to give its opinion for your future videos. Thank’s

  9. @Andrewwilsonvideo on January 17, 2025 at 9:05 pm

    partly due to watching your vids, I bought the Atlas. They now supply from Germany and deliver across Europe, including the UK.

    I am finding it comfortable and sturdy. I was surprised at how heavy and robust it felt compared to similarly priced chairs sold by local office furniture retailers.

    As for value, at about €240 I feel well served by the Colamy Atlas.

    Final point: I was driven to buy a new chair because my previous chair’s foam had failed and caused a problem with my cocyx. After a couple of weeks, this is improving. It still troubles me and will probably do so for a few more weeks. However, I can sit in the Atlas for several hours without discomfort and the period is getting longer.

    I trusted the review from you guys about the ticova and I have to say I bought it and it is trash. The cushion is horrible. The posture support was nice but when the cushion is soooo bad it it makes it trash. Do not buy the ticova and I probably won’t depend on these guys for chair review anymore.

  11. @AaRshavin7 on January 17, 2025 at 9:05 pm

    No way!, I was looking to buy one of this two. Actually waiting for this fight between Ticova vs Atlas. Right on time guys! Thank you

  12. @sunofsotep8265 on January 17, 2025 at 9:09 pm

    Colamy has a new chair. Looks a bit like a Fern and Gesture combo.

  13. @xreznr163 on January 17, 2025 at 9:12 pm

    Been researching for a new chair for 2 weeks now, might just go to the store and try them out in person because everyone has different experiences in chairs, and that’s what really makes me not wanna just buy one online just to not like it when I sit in it

  14. @ANTONIOBARBOSA-kq9yb on January 17, 2025 at 9:12 pm

    Don’t know about the ticova but the colamy atlas is a piece of junk. I would not pay $50 for the atlas.

  15. @iams0ap798 on January 17, 2025 at 9:13 pm

    I do NOT recommend the atlas. I’ve had it for a few days and have nothing but lower back discomfort and pain. It feels like it’s pushing my back into a hollow position or a c shape.

  16. @gezus2154 on January 17, 2025 at 9:17 pm

    You guys should review the new budget chair eureka ergonomics has called the Lark same price range as the Colamy.

  17. @dark9nine on January 17, 2025 at 9:18 pm

    I’m 6’6 so, no Atlas for me i guess.

  18. @Fialectro on January 17, 2025 at 9:20 pm

    What desk is being used in this testing environment?

  19. @Dimmak247 on January 17, 2025 at 9:20 pm

    @btodtv
    colamy atlas on sale for 225$ you guys should be getting a kick back for pushing this thing so hard!!

    Also I think this would be SICK video idea !!- take your guys top 3-4 S tier chairs e.g fern , embody, leap2, HM Aeron
    And pair them with a cheaper alternative at lower price ranges such as 800and under and $500 under. Knowing that your not going to get the quality but at least you know they are similar/ related in feel or function

  20. @Owen-o3z on January 17, 2025 at 9:20 pm

    Ticova is garbage stay away

  21. @weirdodude1173 on January 17, 2025 at 9:21 pm

    I kind of lean toward liking the Atlas in this shootout, it seems to have a better seat cushion and adjustment. Thumbs up for the Chairiffs!

  22. @waffle911 on January 17, 2025 at 9:22 pm

    I was expecting this to be a three-way with _both_ Colamy chairs on your cheat sheet.

  23. @toncek6365 on January 17, 2025 at 9:24 pm

    I have Ticova, for me it is better than HM Embody, but why don`t you say that the seat is too soft (low density) so you will quickly bottoming out especially if you are not sitting ergonomic, the armrest on the lowest setting is to high and they have too hard surface so you need aloudly memory foam on it, and the locking mechanism only locks at 2 stops, it should have at least one more locking stop between 110° and 130° and the lumbar support is plastic and on the lowest settings you can feel poking, and the headrest is wobly… but for short time it is ok chair especially at this price.

  24. @tucco2097 on January 17, 2025 at 9:24 pm

    The atlas seat cushion is unbearable for me. Actually painful.

  25. @zackbob6 on January 17, 2025 at 9:26 pm

    Atlas link doesn’t work any more, Ticova is now $200

  26. @iam5amuel785 on January 17, 2025 at 9:26 pm

    I have owned a Ticova since last December, and I must say that it has done nothing but worsen my neck problems.

  28. @acidbunny999 on January 17, 2025 at 9:30 pm

    I purchased the Ticova chair based on your review, but unfortunately, it’s causing me unexpected lumbar pain. The lumbar support feels overly hard and excessively pronounced. After experiencing this issue, I came across numerous Reddit posts reporting similar complaints. Additionally, the seat padding bottoms out after just 30 minutes of use and heats up very quickly, even though it’s currently winter. I’m disappointed in your high rating of this chair. Even though it’s cheap, it’s not worth the money.

  29. @AronFigaro on January 17, 2025 at 9:31 pm

    Looks like Colamy’s out of business?

  30. @iridious1001 on January 17, 2025 at 9:32 pm

    Ended up buying the Ticova based on your previous videos back in 2022. Honestly cannot recommend it. It has caused neck issues over the years, additionally the backing of the seat snapped in half with under 2 years of use. I am 5’10 175lbs to put that into perspective.

  31. @lyiosyio on January 17, 2025 at 9:33 pm

    Sorry but what is the point of making a title with ‘budget’ then the 1st product you show with 4* reviews and is $150+ but not to expect ‘longetivity’ out of the chair??

    may as well show a cardboard box

  32. @lauraleebaker7042 on January 17, 2025 at 9:35 pm

    why not buy a recliner for work

  33. @larsbaer3508 on January 17, 2025 at 9:35 pm

    just baught the ticova for 112€ including tax(19%) here in germany 😀 really happy to get this deal

  34. @ctr1502 on January 17, 2025 at 9:41 pm

    I decided on a discounted fern mesh chair (£890) based on that 12 year guarantee. I work at home using a metal deck chair (limited space) and a orthopedic cushion lol.
    Id rather get a well known, high quality piece of kit that can be repaired or replaced over 12 years than buy something cheap and have to reinvest over the years

  35. @MrMuscleMan1 on January 17, 2025 at 9:41 pm

    I just ordered the Atlas chair today, I can’t wait to try 🙂

  36. @kurnaztilki-c2g on January 17, 2025 at 9:41 pm

    So which one should i get out of these 2???? i can afford both

    But what if I weigh 270 and like to double tuck my legs

  39. @minimelegend on January 17, 2025 at 9:49 pm

    I bought the Ticova for £120 along with aloudy armpads for my Dad and have tried it out myself, almost always on sale. The Colamy atlas isn’t available often here in the UK and it was around £300. I recently got myself the Melokea Relief back master for around £250 weird sales with vouchers and relisting. It’s like a weird Clatina Mellet 2.0, decent build quality, Big armrests that have some softness, bit easy to move back and forth, good seat depth & headrest adjustments, sadly no lumbar depth adjustment which might be too aggressive and its back rest is limited in range for taller folks, but overall happy with the chair. The ticova does have a more comfy headrest though.

  40. @Sub33Zero on January 17, 2025 at 9:50 pm

    @BTODtv have you looked at the colamy Neza yet?
