The perfect gaming chair can make all the difference when playing games. It's important to feel comfortable, but also to feel immersed in the game. You want to feel like you're part of the game.
Your Budget
If you're a hardcore PC gamer, then you're going to need the best gaming chair money can buy. Sure you could sit in a kitchen chair or a couch, but then your back will start hurting from all that sitting. And when you're in a heated battle in a game, you'll want a chair that you can lean back in and relax. A chair with a cup holder in the arm is a plus!
How to Make A Choice
The gaming chair is one of the most important pieces of furniture for any gamer. The right chair can make all the difference when playing for hours at a time. The problem is, there are so many different gaming chairs on the market to choose from. How do you know which is the best gaming chair for you?
Here are the top five things on gaming chairs to consider if you're looking to buy your next gaming chair.
Many people suffer from back pain due to the lack of sitting ergonomics. If this is a concern, a gamer chair may be a good option.
The design of a gamer chair is based on the idea that the best sitting position is a reclining one. They are designed to make it easy to sit back and relax while playing games.

Gaming chairs are made to comfortably support the body for hours on end. They are perfect for gaming marathons when you want to be comfortable enough to play for hours. The chairs are designed with lumbar support in the back, have reinforced armrests for comfort, and have padded seats to keep your butt in place.
I recently had a chance to sit down and talk with Sean Morrison at ESPN about the Herman Miller x Logitech gaming chair announcement. I wanted to expand on my thoughts about ergonomics and give you guys a bit of a guide as to how to pick the best chair for gaming.
(Note: if you just want the checklist for picking a good chair and some examples of good options, scroll to &#;What&#;s the best chair for gaming?&#;)
My general perspective is that a chair, any chair, is only so important. There are absolutely some basic ergonomic qualities a chair should have: comfortable seat, adjustable armrests, adjustable height, appropriate fit relative to your height and width.
A chair and good posture in it are only a part of what goes into preventing injury and optimizing performance. Your gaming/work habits&#;how often do you stand up and move around? How often do you change position? How often do you take rest or stretching breaks?&#;play a much bigger part in those aims, as do your general lifestyle habits relating to sleep, nutrition, hydration, and exercise.
If you&#;re doing great with everything else in terms of lifestyle and gaming/work habits, but you sit on a wooden dining room chair, sure, you&#;re going to have pain and the chair is probably going to be the primary cause of that.
But past a certain point of support and adjustability, there&#;s not anything substantially and significantly better that one chair will offer you over the other. At the same time, even if you have the world&#;s best chair, it&#;s not going to make up for a lack of relevant muscular endurance and strength, poor posture, poor nutrition and hydration habits, lack of sleep, or insufficient movement/activity in general.
Here&#;s my breakdown of the traditional racing-style gaming chair:
There are some definite cons to using a racing-style chair for prolonged sitting. Most racing chairs have bucket seats, with raised sides and an elevated front. The raised sides reduce the amount of shifting and changing position that you can do easily. I like to teach that &#;your best posture is your next posture&#;&#;that is, consistently moving and changing position is better than any one &#;perfect&#; posture you could have.
If your chair doesn&#;t let you shift easily, that&#;s a bit of a con in my book. The same goes with the elevated front of the chair. In a racecar, that&#;s functional and designed to help you reach the pedals comfortably and keep you in your seat. At a desk, you generally want your feet planted on the floor and knees at roughly 90 degrees. An elevated front makes that harder and puts extra pressure against the backs of the thighs.
Racing chairs also tend to have a deeper seat, which can mean choosing between extra pressure against the back of the knees/calves and having to scoot forward and leaving your back unsupported so that your knees aren&#;t pressured if you&#;re on the shorter-than-average size.
Some of the biggest pros aren&#;t necessarily unique to a typical gaming chair, but they are seen most commonly in that specific type of chair. To me, the biggest ergonomic selling points are the points of adjustability. The more ways you can adjust a chair&#;armrest height, armrest rotation, back angle, seat angle, seat height&#;the more likely it is you&#;ll be able to set your chair up to support you in a good posture. Adjustable backs in particular are great because your spinal has multiple types of support. Some chair positions, like a more reclined backrest, allow you to put less pressure on your discs. Other chair positions, like a more upright backrest, allow you to decrease the muscle work required to maintain upright posture.
Gaming relies on players performing extremely precise, extremely fast, extremely repetitive movements and the wrist and hand. Mobile extremities require a stable base, and that starts from where you&#;re in contact with the floor That&#;s not to say you constantly have to be in contact with the floor&#;I tend to shift around and spend some time sitting cross-legged, some time with both feet on the ground, and some time with one leg crossed, the other on the ground&#;but your stability starts from your feet and your butt.
Stability of the proximal parts of the arms&#;elbows, shoulders, and even up into where the arms meet the upper back and neck&#;is also important here. That&#;s why I encourage players to use armrests, either the ones on their chair or clip-on ones. Armrests should be at the height of the belly button and also level with the keyboard. Sometimes, that means adjusting the height of the chair and putting something under your feet so you can have a straight line from bellybutton through forearms to the keyboard.
Muscles have optimal resting positions and optimal length-tension relationships for quick firing. Your posture and the position of joints above and below the muscle in question all play into the ability of that muscle to rest in optimal positioning for best length-tension relationships.
1. The more points of adjustability, the better. At minimum: armrests, chair height. Bonus: back angle, seat angle.
2. The width of the chair should allow you to use the armrests without your arms being too far out to the side. A good measurement of &#;too far&#; is if you feel tension or pressure in your shoulders, or the space between your elbow and side is longer than the length of your hand.
2. The edge of the seat should be flat or angled slightly down.
3. The backrest should let you relax your shoulders and comfortably maintain an upright posture.
4. The seat should be supportive but comfortable to sit on and distribute your weight evenly. For longer periods of playing, you&#;ll likely want foam > mesh.
5. You should be able to shift and move easily within the chair.

You might notice that I haven&#;t listed any gaming chairs on this list. That&#;s not because they&#;re universally terrible or because I&#;d never recommend them in any case whatsoever, but because in my opinion, an office chair will give you better ergonomics and comfort for a similar price point. If you strongly prefer a gaming chair/gaming brand,
Secretlab and Noblechair have relatively little upward tilt in the seat, a moderately firm cushion, and the adjustable components I mentioned above; they will generally be a good fit if you&#;re an average-sized male gamer or larger, and
Vertagear makes a more classically ergonomic-type chair (the Triigger) with a waterfall edge and more points of adjustability, although the seat itself is mesh, which is fairly firm.
That being said, I would and do still recommend ergonomic office chairs for gaming. Regardless of whether you choose a racing-style chair or an office-style chair, the most important thing is that it fits you and your specific needs.
