Whatever the reason, you’ll need to have a setup that is perfect for those long sessions. That means you’ll need something that is comfortable, offers convenience, and has features that can enhance your gaming experience. If you play games for hours a day then that is a large fraction of your free time. So why wouldn’t you invest in what you love?
What To Consider When Buying A Special Edition Gaming Chair
Gaming chairs come in all shapes and sizes, offering a series of unique features, designs, and gimmicks that can make them an ideal addition to your gaming room or set up. So here are a few criteria to consider before you might want to invest in a gaming chair.
Comfort
The most important and often the most common reason that gamers go in search of a gaming chair is for comfort. Growing up with games, I’m sure that a number of us planted ourselves on the floor, sat at a stiff desk chair, or rearranged our whole living space just to get some sort of comfort.
Though, thanks to technological advances in ergonomic designs, plus optimized considerations with gaming at the forefront of designers’ thinking process, gaming chairs now offer a variety of comfortable options that offer something for everyone.
Ergonomics
is the science of how workplaces and working conditions can be adapted to human needs in order to create a good working atmosphere and to design the conditions in such a way that the health impact is as low as possible.
But that also means that choosing a chair is not enough. An ergonomic workplace requires coordinating the chair, desk, keyboards, and screens, and other peripherals to the user.
Chair size
This is one of the most important criteria to consider when choosing a chair. You mustn’t feel squeezed in the chair or disappear into a chair that is way too big. Only if you sit in a chair that has the correct dimensions to fit your body size, can the ergonomic design of the chair be effective and provide the promised seating comfort.
Adjustability
Is it possible to adjust the chair according to your ideas or are these possibilities only limited? The individual options to adjust the chair are the foundation of ergonomics and must be considered when buying a gaming chair. Only when it is possible to adapt the chair to individual needs and physique will the seating position be comfortable in the long run.
Padding
High-quality and expensive gaming chairs have upholstery made of cold-cured high-density polyurethane foam. A fine-pored and dense foam provides a seat that comfortably picks up the seated end without sinking too deep into the chair. The breathability of padding and upholstery is important so that good air circulation is possible and moisture is removed from sweating when sitting for long periods. In addition, many models of gaming chairs have cutouts that allow air to circulate.
Lumbar support and neck support
A good chair should have additional padding for the neck, shoulder, and lumbar area. Especially the lumbar area, where back problems develop for many people, needs support to support the spine in its natural curvature.
Reclining feature
This is a common feature in gaming chairs. Many of the chairs have backrests that can be tilted far back into a horizontal position. It is practical for anyone who needs to relax in a lying position and is ideal for a great gaming experience. But in reality, not many people use a recline that goes beyond 120 to 130degrees. Console gaming chairs that are often the choice of play station or Xbox fans do not have a recline feature.
Armrests
Armrests that relieve the shoulder and neck area and serve as an extension of the desk should not be missing in a good chair. There are different versions, from fixed non-adjustable rigidly attached to the side of the gaming chair, up to 4D multi-adjustable in height and inclination. Armrests that can be adjusted are of course more advantageous.
The Price
This is, of course, an important criterion that everyone will take into account. But for really good chairs you have to be willing to spend some money. This is simply because high-quality materials and high-quality workmanship come at a price. While there are many cheap and affordable gaming chairs, most feature-rich chairs are not cheap.
Design And Style
When you are designing your perfect gaming space. Having a chair to sit in is probably one of your first considerations when piecing the room together. Your room will often have a theme or decor that expresses who you are and what you enjoy as a gamer. So when it comes to your gaming chair, you should have a design that blends into your decor and ties the space together.
Gimmicks and other Build-in Features
Then you have the various USPs (unique selling proposition) for the chairs on the market. The reason why one chair stands out from the rest and potentially, the reason why you could choose one over the other. The features that you choose your chair is going to be solely based on your own preferences. So it might be anything from cool gadgets to cup holders. The possibilities are staggering.
One common feature that some companies try to incorporate into their products is a design that has posture at the forefront. This is great for players that struggle with back problems and need extra lumbar support and want to improve their posture over time.
Then another very desirable feature is for surround sound when playing your favorite titles. This allows for a more immersive experience. So chair producers sometimes incorporate speakers into their chair design. Allowing players to feel like they are right next to the action. Built-in motors that transmit vibrations and game effects to the player are also increasingly popular.
Why buy a Themed Gaming Chair
Overall, it is clear that gaming chairs offer a little something for everyone. If you are an avid gamer, it’s hard to argue against the benefit of themed gaming chairs. They have the capacity to immerse you further into your favorite games and offer comfort whilst you do so. Plus offers a stylish addition that will look great and impressive in any gaming room.
