Why You Should Buy a Gaming Chair?

As we all know, when sitting in a chair for an extended time, you will likely end up getting pain in back, muscle, neck or spine, which is a common issue for chairs which are not ergonomic. Studies have shown that a large number of adults suffer from back pain, neck pain or other soreness due to the bad posture. Hence it is indispensable to sit properly with the correct posture to ensure the durability and comfort of your body. A gaming office chair with adjustability and ergonomic design is actually beneficial to you and your physical health in the long-term.

Types of Gaming Chairs

Overall, there are essentially five types of gaming chairs in Australia. Of course, the style you settle on depends greatly on your personal preference. But besides the personal choice and comfort, you should look for the right type for your actual needs.

• PC Gaming Chairs: This type of computer chairs are designed with great mobility and comfort, suitable for PC gamers. PC chairs typically have armrests, headrests, wheels, sturdy back support and an array of extra adjustment features for a satisfying experience. 

• Rockers: Rockers are placed on the floor without pedestals. They are utilized as a rocking chair allowing you to move back and forth, or can be fixed in a location. They are exclusively for console gaming since handling a keyboard and mouse on them can be an uphill battle.

• Racers:  Racers are mostly used for racing games, as they are furnished with accessories like a steering wheel, clutch, an accelerator, and brakes, giving you a realistic gaming experience of driving a real race car.

• Pedestal Chairs: The pedestal racing chair is a somewhat of a hybrid between the rocker and PC gaming chair. These chairs are primarily for console gaming, but they can also be used for PC gaming. They are adjustable and rotatable, as well as usually adorned with leather upholstery or cloth.

• Bean Bags: Perhaps, bean bag chairs are the most cost-effective and convenient options. They are usually made of polystyrene beans and inexpensive, some models are surprisingly comfortable. However, with this gaming chair style, you can not swivel, roll or rock as you like.

What Makes a Good Gaming Chair?

• Ergonomics: It is the first and foremost factor for consideration. The best gaming chair tends to support your spine and improve your posture by providing different adjustment choices. Therefore, it should include arm and lumbar support, and a series of adjustment controls, such as height adjustment, armrest height control, and seat slide.
• Material: Most high-quality ergonomic office chairs are made from either leather or mesh. It is suggested you choose a good match for your body temperature. The leather is effective at retaining heat and is a good asset for those who run cold, while the mesh is highly breathable and ideal for gamers who run a bit on the warmer side.
• Size and Weight: Most computer gaming chairs are constructed for the average user, while there are some models specifically created for taller or bigger users. Make sure to choose the right size for yourself. If the chair is to be permanently placed in the office or bedroom then it is less of a concern, if you will move it around you need to consider the weight.
• Comfort: If you are a game enthusiast, you should sit comfortably when involving yourself in the prolonged time of game playing. Whether a certain racing office chair is suitable for you or not depends on how well it fits you. As a rule of thumb, the more ways you can adjust your chair, the more comfort you will obtain.
