For maximum immersion in the game world, comfort is essential. After all, if you are constantly distracted by inconvenience, it is impossible to fully enjoy the world of video games. In the past, rarely did anyone think about comfort during the game, especially if they gathered with a company or the whole family...
The members of the group settled down, as a rule, at random. During the era of set-top boxes, a very voluminous TV box with a kinescope was placed on an equally heavy pedestal stand. It was very difficult to move such an array. In addition, very often the length of the wire from the joystick to the set-top box was about half a meter, and it was basically unrealistic to reach a comfortable sofa or chair comfortably. In an attempt to make the pastime a little more comfortable, pillows were used, which at that time replaced much more comfortable chairs. Although much more often everyone just landed on the floor near the console.
- Top 7 Best Gaming Chairs
Of course, everyone understands that the player holding the gamepad in his hands worried little about comfort. In addition, the joystick itself was often made of cheap plastic, and therefore, after ten minutes of active play, it always strove to slip out. Children were allowed to play for about half an hour a day, and therefore the “hook” position was not too critical for them. But after all, parents were not opposed to relieving stress after a hard day and playing a game, often playing much longer than 30 minutes. And of course, many of them later faced the problem “how now, in fact, to straighten up?”.
Years have passed, and thin plasma panels have replaced the huge TV boxes. Gamepads found wireless communication and it became possible to perch on a far-standing sofa or armchair. The gaming audience has expanded significantly, new devices for games and gamers themselves appear on the market all the time. And even for the most picky players, comfort has become not just a must, but an integral part. In the modern market, there is a whole series of products that fall under the category of "gaming chairs", and we will talk about them now.
Every user who practically does not encounter the world of games asks this question. But really, why? Indeed, in the nearest supermarket or on the Internet you can buy a simple office chair (even at a discount), and not spend extra money. At this point, we are faced with the most important thing - safety for the health of the user. It's no secret that a long sitting in a sitting position can greatly affect posture, which is especially true for gamers.
It is for this reason that convenience and orthopedic properties must be mandatory. Chinese consumer goods simply cannot provide for everyone necessary minimum, and therefore is swept aside immediately. Saving is certainly an appropriate thing, but in this case it is better to buy a simple chair. Let it not be the softest, but at least it will not creak. There is a whole sea on the market for such models.
When buying a good gaming chair, you need to pay attention to several features:
- Convenience. No matter how expensive a technology or material is, it completely disappears if you feel uncomfortable and uncomfortable using it. Think about it, would it be convenient to eat with a fork with blunt teeth even if it is gold? It is for this reason that when choosing a chair model, it must necessarily have exactly the number of various properties that you need. In addition, given that gaming chairs are not cheap, it makes no sense to compromise with details that do not suit you.
- Value for money. Just imagine, you are walking through the store, you see a chair that, well, very much resembles your grandmother's chair. And looking closely at the price tag, you understand that the model was released by a well-known brand, and a price tag of 5,000 American rubles flaunts as a decoration. This is a rough example, but it does not negate the fact that high-profile brands quite often release not only ugly things, but also not comfortable ones. Therefore, you yourself must check the quality of the product, its convenience, guided only by your own feelings.
- Customization. The more customization options a chair has, the better. Someone is tall, someone is low, the armrests interfere with someone, and for someone the chair seems completely cramped due to the uncomfortable back. A person is not a thing, and unlike a good device, it will not work to change him. That is why, the more removable and adjustable parts the chair has, the better. Even if you do not use them at the beginning, there is always a chance that the rest of the family will use this function.
- Possibility to use additional gadgets. It would be useful if, when purchasing a chair for a tidy sum, you also do not limit yourself to only the built-in functionality. Sooner or later, you will be visited by the thought of buying a coaster for a cup, mouse or even a cat. Sufficiently experienced manufacturers provide for the possible desires of consumers, and therefore various additional details can always be found on store shelves. And having bought an expensive and mega comfortable chair, but not a gaming one, there is a possibility of disappointment, since it most likely will not work to screw anything to it. You can, of course, make the same stand yourself, showing others what a master you are in sawing with a jigsaw. But is it convenient?
Choosing a classic office chair, make sure the design is solid. Particular attention should be paid to the cross, since a cheap Chinese assembly hydraulic drive can simply break through the base and fly out. The guarantee for such models, as a rule, does not apply, and therefore you will only lose money. In addition, the wheels should preferably be rubberized. It doesn’t matter if the chair will stand on a wooden floor, laminate, linoleum or tile, rubber wheels will save you from unpleasant creaking.
The upholstery of the chair must be made of hygroscopic material.. Simply put, it should absorb moisture well. On cheap leatherette, there is always a chance of “sticking” to the chair after a long game.
The presence of a headrest. This feature may seem unnecessary to many, but it provides an opportunity to relax the cervical vertebrae and, in general, improves the feeling of comfort. Also pillows under the lower back are important, since ordinary ones from the sofa may simply not fit. Many manufacturers provide special pads made of elastic material.
You need to choose a chair based on the goals assigned to it and your own needs. If you can not "blur" in the chair, you should not choose a model with too soft structure. There are, for example, models that perfectly support posture. Throne chairs are perfect for installation in front of a monitor; it simply won’t work to move it forward or backward easily.
Top 7 Best Gaming Chairs
As you understand, having knowledge about the mass of various functions, it is very easy to get lost in the store when choosing a chair. Therefore, below, we have tried for you to systematize the main types of chairs that any gamer will be happy with. Let there be conditionally the main 4 categories and their best models.
simple armchairs
Suitable for people who want to get enough functionality and convenience for little money.
This chair is the most resembles an office one, more possible interesting design . As for the shape, it can be in the form of a bowl or even as a guest chair, which you often see in offices.
Is this chair suitable for gamers? It is definitely difficult to answer. But if you are disciplined enough to always keep your back straight even while sitting on a stool, then this option will suit you. But if you involuntarily change the position to “bent” during the game, then this option is not for you. In addition, the design of such a chair does not provide no extra extras such as changing the position of the armrests, the presence of cushions and pads, and adjusting the height and inclination of the back of the chair.
Conclusion: how a budget option quite suitable. But you can forget about additional bonuses. Such models are sold in almost all furniture stores.
TOP gaming chairs of high comfort and ergonomics
Already wider, much better and more diverse. Chairs with increased comfort are not a throne for a player at all, but a great solution for everyone who spends a lot of time at the monitor. Most of these chairs are "mesh" and ergonomic with much fine tuning backrest and height.
Some models have adjustable armrests. However, with additional features, everything is just as unimportant as in previous version. Although in this case you can not be afraid about the health of your back, because most chairs have orthopedic properties.
By the way, mesh models are almost the best solution in terms of ergonomics. It is very difficult to “stick” to such an armchair, soft elements do not “sit out”, and it is not at all difficult to clean its surface after a spilled liquid. Although they don't have the special sheen of the luxury versions, they are much more functional and mobile.
Best Ergonomic Chair - Samurai S-3
Ergonomic mesh chair Samurai S-3 is very popular with customers. We can say that today it has no competitors in this price and quality range. Functional characteristics allow you to customize the chair to your preferences.
Thanks to the unique multi-block mechanism, the seat and backrest unfold and lock simultaneously. Its padded armrests are adjustable in angle, height and span. The headrest of this model can also be adjusted in three planes. The chair itself is upholstered in a mesh fabric with very strong aramid fibers. For a relatively low cost, you can get a chair with a lot of effective features and amazing appearance.
Feedback from a real buyer The chair is very comfortable, does not creak when you swing on it. I was very pleased with the adjustment of the armrests, this is exactly what I wanted to get from this model. The wheels do not knock and move very smoothly on the floor, as if you are swimming, not driving. For the price, this chair is great!
Best Computer Chair - Ergohuman Low Back
This option will appeal to most gamers, because this chair is one of the most advanced on this list. The most curious thing here is, of course, “double” mesh back, which is made not only for decorative purposes. Each of its components is responsible for supporting a specific part of the body. The setting here is standard - the armrests are unregulated. Low-quality plastic is being replaced by normal chrome-plated cross.
This option is the best for choosing from the first three. Excellent orthopedic design, which was sorely lacking in most chairs, will definitely please gamers. The appearance, alas, is not so impressive.
Gaming chair with reclining armrests - Evolution EvoTop/P Alu
This is a much more interesting version of “ergonomics for the office”. Appearance is different futuristic and general style. This is probably the most interesting model in this category.
Seat height and backrest adjustable in the usual way- using a single lever. The “mesh” back and leatherette seats may confuse some users. The armrests are not adjustable in height, but they can be folded back if necessary. The lower cross - alas, although it has chrome parts, is the same "plastic" and not polished.
TOP “racing” chairs for gamers
We have finally reached that most desirable category with real gaming chairs. Upholstery made of excellent material, headrests, customization of all parts - this is not an exception at all, but rather an unshakable rule. Such a chair will be a real decoration not only for a gaming room, but also for an office, because it well emphasizes the status.
Price policy it is versatile, which means that the solution can be chosen for any pocket. For luxury models, you still have to pay a significant amount, but in this case you get the maximum level of comfort and some exotic. Armchairs are very similar, so let's go through the main “types” from the best companies.
Armchair for gamers - Arozzi Monza
This is the ideological successor of the concept of “racing” style. Unlike the previous model, this one looks more static, because there is a much more massive back and non-adjustable armrests. The back, by the way, is much softer here. Appearance is also somewhat "lush".
The weight of the structure does not remove the already familiar holes in the back, because the belts from the pads also pass through them. However, this chair deviates somewhat from the dynamic style and is more of a playful adaptation of a serious office chair.
If we compare both options, then the overall impressions of them are positive, but the sensations of the “sciatic nerve” may vary.
Feedback from a real buyer I would like to advise you to purchase the Arozzi Monza computer chair. This option is perfect for everyday use and your back will thank you
Best Computer Chair - ThunderX3 TGC15
Even a real racer does not disdain such a chair, because it is practically a real car seat. From the angle of the backrest to its shape, everything here is indicative of automotive design. The back is comfortably adjustable, and it effectively helps to keep the spine straight when leaning back on it.
The armrest is also adjustable in height and this allows you to adjust the overall design to the height of the gamer. In the back there are several holes through which the belts are passed. The straps are equipped with pads to support the lower back and head. On the base of the cross there is a plastic pad for more comfortable foot support. The armchair is made of steel and leather, which favorably distinguishes it from the above-mentioned “ergonomics”.
Feedback from a real buyer I spend quite a lot of time for personal computer, although I don’t play with toys (my husband does this). My work is sedentary, and my lifestyle is sedentary, because of this, back pain began to appear. The problem was in the chair, especially since ours was quite old. So we decided to please ourselves for the New Year holidays. We didn’t immediately think of taking the game version, they visually look strange. But, having checked all the chairs with our fifth point, we still settled on the ThunderX3 TGC15-BO gaming chair. This option is the most attractive.
TOP gaming chairs in “maximum configuration”
This category is not at all an ordinary expensive office chair. This is a full-fledged throne, allowing you to literally live in it. The biggest disadvantage of these chairs is very low mobility, so they are usually equipped with built-in speakers and audio inputs.
Gaming chair - DXRacer
Made of high quality leather, this armchair is suitable for both work and leisure. Outwardly, it resembles the seats installed on cool cars. And its improved frame, the presence of a multifunctional adjustment mechanism and a dense foam filler provide comfort and ease of use. Adjust the height of the armrests and seat, choose the inclination of the backrest and create your own unique chair that will suit all the individual characteristics of your body.
At first glance it is clear that this chair belongs to a very respectable person who knows a lot about quality and style. But that's not all. Chairs of the DXRacer brand have long become popular among the players. Comfortable fit, quality material, ergonomic design let gamers concentrate as much as possible on gameplay and achieve amazing results. The ratio of price and quality will also please buyers.
Review from a real customer It seemed to me that there is nothing special about this chair other than the standard adjustments and design. If you want to find a useful chair and anatomically correct, then you need to look for a chair with precise settings for height and weight, solid lumbar support and an orthopedic back. Here, the lumbar pillow and headrest are completely embarrassing.
Rocking chair - WARP
This is the perfect chair for both professional and beginner gamers.. This model perfectly combines functionality and increased comfort. High-quality materials, amazing ergonomics, beveled seat edge that prevents arterial squeezing, comfortable armrest adjustment and five-arm "Flake"ideal for users who sit in one place for a long time.
Company WARP supports streamers and players in every possible way, so he puts all his strength into his new models of chairs. For the manufacture of this model, safe and environmentally friendly materials were used. And the sturdy construction behind the WARP chair, able to withstand weight up to 130 kg.
