Duct tape is how I'm rolling right now given my current lack of satisfactory options.

@Vuze
Console gaming has no more to do with weight gain/loss than PC gaming does, and if you read my second post you'll notice I'm a 'Gamer', not a 'Console Gamer.' With the 'mould' chairs... I rock in my chairs when I game regardless of if the chair is supposed to or not and I've snapped/collapsed a number of those guys' back legs in the past.

@mgz
I have done bean bag chairs before and while they're great for relaxing I can never get that "just right" feel while I'm gaming in one. Plus my cats would destroy it within a couple months >,<.

@undetz
That would be a big problem for me and my chair.

Well I'm giving you my best recommendation, generic plastic moulds, sit up straight and save your back for old age.
Or just get a boss chair and game like a boss.

@Malific: My choice for replacement? Consider a moon chair. A real one and not one of those fake mounted ones.

Yeah, I know I shouldn't rock, but it's a habit I've built up over 24 years of gaming, it's simply a subconscious action now so I'm looking for a chair that can handle it (and save my back in the process (which is why that AK200 was so perfect). I have a nice microfiber 'boss' chair for my PC set-up (which also gets rocked constantly sometimes to the point of lifting half the wheels off the ground), but I'd rather not have something that large for my console area since I have to move it out of the way when not in use.

@fohfoh
I'm assuming you're referring to chairs like these?: Amazon.com
In which case it may work out, I've used them before and I seem to recall I didn't like the way the frame applied pressure on the top of my back but some of these have some pretty heavy duty cushioning there. Also the legs seem like they would allow me to rock without risking major breakage. Though the folding action may cause issues with that.

If that's not the style you mean could you pass me a link?

Most of those look like they're mounted. This one looks closer, but I don't know if the top and bottom are connected or if it's just a "bowl" sitting on the top of a pedestal.
