Gaming chairs that enhance the gaming experience

How to choose the right gaming chair 

No two people are the same, so when it comes to choosing the best gaming chair for you, the most important aspect is to find a game chair where you can sit comfortably.

There are many features of a gaming chair that can enhance the comfort. Here are some features you can look for when selecting a computer chair:

  • Adjustable height: Allows you to adjust the height of the chair to fir your height and posture.
  • Reclinable backrest: Allows you to lean back in a comfortable position.
  • Stepless tilt mechanism: Slight back tilt of seat and back that supports the natural movements of your body.
  • Tilt lock: Lock the tilt so the chair stays in a stable position
  • Safety casters: A pressure-sensitive brake mechanism that, for safety reasons, only allows the casters to move when you sit in the chair.
  • Flip-up armrests: Allows you to flip the armrests up and down, so you can choose between the support of armrests or more space.
  • 1D adjustable armrests: Allows you to adjust the height of the armrests.
  • 3D adjustable armrests: Can be adjusted in height, depth and left/right angle to match your height, sitting position and arm movement.
  • Adjustable lumbar support: Adjust the lumbar support to match the natural curve of your spine.
  • Neck cushion: Removable and adjustable neck cushion for increased neck support.
  • Lumbar cushion: Removable and adjustable lumbar cushion for increased support for your lower back.
  • Built-in leg rest: Pull out the leg rest for support of your legs when reclined.
  • LED light: Creates a fun and personalised gaming experience, where you can control the colour, brightness and speed of the light.
  • Moulded foam: Increases the support and comfort of the seat and supports a better posture.
  • Faux leather: A stain-resistant material that is easy to clean.
  • Mesh fabric: Provides better airflow and breathability that keeps you cool and comfortable.
  • Fabric: Soft and comfortable to sit on, but is durable and holds up well over time.
  • Steel base: Creates a durable, stable and supportive base.

If you're purchasing a game chair for a child, it's particularly important that the chair is adjustable, so it continues to be comfortable and supportive as the child grows.

How to adjust your gaming chair

Once you have decided on a gamer chair, you have to make sure that you adjust it so you sit comfortably and correctly. You should set the height of the chair, so that your feet can reach the floor, or you have a footrest to support them. When your feet are on the floor, your knees and hips should be leveled. The armrests should be set so that your elbows are in a 90-degree angle when you use your mouse or keyboard. When it comes to the backrest, try to find the angle that best support your natural spine position.
