But there are so many different styles on the market, ranging from a few hundred yuan to a few thousand yuan for a gaming chair. So for everyone’s understanding of gaming chairs, we will put forward a few points that you should pay attention to when purchasing gaming chairs in this article.

5 Key Points to Consider When Buying a Gaming Chair (Racing Chair)

First point: Gaming chair feet

Currently, most brands of gaming chair feet are made of steel, aluminum alloy and nylon. Generally speaking, gaming chair feet are wider than computer chair feet. When purchasing, you should pay attention to whether the foot material is very thin. If the foot material is too thin, it may break when the load is too high.
(For normal nylon feet, the load-bearing capacity can reach 1.36 tons.)

Second point: Regenerated sponge vs. original styling sponge

Many users have tried to buy computer chairs / gaming chairs at low prices, but soon found that the sponge had collapsed after sitting on it. Since some brands sell their products at a low price, they use recycled sponges to replace original sponges based on cost. Recycled sponges are recycled and remade, so they are easy to deform and may contain some harmful substances. On the contrary, the cost of original shaping sponge is higher and requires mold customization. Both the sponge density and resilience are higher than those of recycled sponge.

Third point: High-back gaming chair frame

Before buying a gaming chair in a store, you can ask the store clerk what material the frame of the gaming chair you like is made of. The gaming chair has a high back and is ergonomically designed to relieve the normal pressure on the spine. The main function of the frame is to increase the load-bearing capacity of the chair and fix the position of the sponge to support the human body. The main frame materials of the gaming chairs on the market are wood and metal frames. Gaming chairs with metal frames have more balanced force and greatly improved load-bearing capacity.

Fourth point: armrest function

E-sports activities require the use of mouse and keyboard for a long time, so armrests that can support the elbows are very important. Armrests with lifting functions can adjust the height of the armrests to a suitable height. If the armrests can slide and angle, they can more accurately meet the needs of players and protect players' elbows from strain.

Fifth point: Gaming chair size

Gaming chairs generally focus on wrapping, but everyone's body shape is different, so how can one chair be suitable for all e-sports players? Therefore, you should calculate the appropriate size of gaming chair according to your body shape.
Based on the above five points, we recommend that you go to a store to try out a gaming chair before purchasing it. Even if they are of the same brand, different gaming chairs may use different materials or designs.
