Gaming Chair

Gaming chairs make differences

Esports players usually sit for hours under intense pressure to perform at the highest levels. Gaming chairs and Gaming seats help to keep players fresh and motivated and provide consistent comfort while preventing soreness after long sessions. Thus a premium gaming chair is one of the most important pieces in a pro gaming setup.

Gaming chairs and office chairs share many similarities, like casters, swiveling bases, armrests, and various adjustable settings. An office chair tends to be simple and low profile in design, while a gaming chair emphasizes style. Many gaming chairs have the flashy look of race cars with bright accent colors. Structurally, a gaming chair has additional features specific to video gaming, such as steering wheel mounts, headphone output, built-in speakers, and Bluetooth compatibility. It is specially designed, with a wide range of comfort-maximizing features, including a high level of back recline, detachable lumbar and head pillows, high and winged backrest, and highly adjustable armrests, etc. for long hours playing video games. An office chair instead focuses on sophisticated and ergonomic design to maintain productivity during long days in the office. The choice of materials is different too. An ergonomic office chair usually comes in mesh, leather & fabric, while a gaming chair is more likely made from PU or with leather supported by high-density foam. If you are a heavy gamer, a gaming chair should be your choice; if you opt for a business-appropriate decision, an office chair will fit your needs.

How to choose a suitable gaming chair?

The price of gaming chairs on the market can have big variations. Many brands have launched their gaming chairs, each of which has some differences in design functions other than appearance. We have sorted out four key points. Before buying, you can find out whether they can fulfill your need.

Point 1: Gaming Chair Legs

The legs of gaming chairs are much wider than general computer chairs, and the materials are mainly nylon and aluminum alloys. The two materials have their characteristics. It is not always true that aluminum alloy must be the best, but the bearing capacity of metal materials is higher than that of nylon feet. Most of the inner side of the foot seat adopts a staggered structure to increase stability and reliability, and the load-bearing capacity of the two is between 90-135 kg. When purchasing, pay attention to whether the material of the foot seat will be fragile. If the materials of the foot seat are too thin, it may break when the loading is too high.

When purchasing, pay attention to whether the material of the foot seat will be very thin. If the material of the foot seat is too thin, it may break when the loading is too high.

Point 2: Recycled Sponges VS Native Styling Sponges

Some netizens shared that they tried to buy a gaming chair at a low price, but the sponge collapsed quickly. When dismantling it, they found that the manufacturer used a recycled sponge to replace the original sponge. A recycled and rebuilt sponge is easy to deform and may contain harmful substances inside. We recommend that gaming chairs to be made from first-hand stereotyped sponges. Although the price is higher, an original stereotyped sponge needs customization by creating a mold, and the density or resilience of the sponge is higher than that of the recycled sponge.

Point 3: High-back gaming chair frame

Before purchasing a gaming chair, you can check with the salesman about the frame material used in the gaming chair. Gaming chairs are high backs, ergonomically designed, and share the pressure on the spine. The primary function of the skeleton is to increase the bearing capacity of the chair and the position of the fixed sponge to support the human body. The primary skeleton materials of the gaming chairs on the market are wood and metal frames. Gaming chairs with metal frames are more balanced in force, and the bearing capacity is greatly improved.

Point 4: armrest function

Playing digital games requires a long time to use the mouse and the keyboard. The armrest that supports the elbow is very important. With the armrest lifting function, we can adjust the handle height level to a suitable height. If the armrest can slide and angle, it will be more adaptable to the player’s needs and protect the player’s elbow to avoid strain.
