Why Buy A Gaming Chair?

Is it really worth it to invest in a game chair?

Some people will tell you that you don’t need a special chair just for gaming.

“What’s wrong with sitting on the couch, the floor, or in a regular office chair?”, they might say. After all, isn’t that what everyone does?

But wouldn’t you agree that sitting on the floor or in a standard boring office chair can get a little tedious after a while?

Isn’t that the reason why many movie theatres upgrade their seats?

Gaming requires long periods sitting in one position, so things like ergonomics play an important role in your comfort and well-being.

This is where gamer chairs can offer many benefits like the ability to enjoy playing your favourite game without being interrupted by back spasms.

You want to look for things like comfort, lumbar support, a reclining, and or rocking option.

The seat, headrest, armrest, upholstery, and frame should be important factors when finding a chair for gaming. Look for quality and durability.

Not to mention some amazing features like built-in speakers, wireless technology, vibration and massage capabilities, and much more.

All available in order to intensify your gaming experience.

Your choice of video gaming chair will probably have a lot to do with where and how you prefer to sit. Whether you’re at a desk or need more of a console gaming chair.

Likewise, your age, height, weight, and of course budget will also be deciding factors in your selection. Speaking of age, read our section on adult gaming chairs for those with such needs.

There are a variety of types of cool gaming chairs to choose from including:

1. Racing seat office chair. These are similar to regular office chairs having caster wheels, a handle-toggle for adjusting tilt/height, etc..

When looking at the different office type chairs available, these are the best computer chairs for gaming due to their style, colours, and high head rest. Designed specifically for PC gaming at a desk.

DXRacer chairs, for example, were inspired from a race car driving seat that reclines, making them more fun than your average office chair.

2. Rocker gaming chair. These are also great chairs for gaming if you prefer to sit closer to the floor. Maybe not the best choice for PC gamers, but they can be very comfortable.

You can literally rock like being in a rocking chair (a real gaming chair rocker) while having all the lumbar support for your back muscles.

Many of these come with speakers and other great features to enhance your gaming time.

3. Bean bag style gaming chair. If you’re looking for a more casual seating while you are in a gaming session, then a bean bag chair may be all you need.

They usually don’t come with a whole lot of bells and whistles or posture support, but they are fun and relatively comfortable.

Note: They’re not much good for PC gaming.

4. Racing simulator cockpit. This type of gamer-chair is basically a specialised computer chair and monitor stand that comes with a steering wheel and pedal supports.

Giving you the feeling like your in the cockpit of a plane or race car.

5. Pedestal gaming chair. The chair itself is similar to a recliner, but it rocks and rotates on a pedestal base rather than on wheels or legs.
