Aspects to consider when choosing a gaming or office chair

Over the past few years, the market for gaming chairs has literally exploded. The reasons for the great commercial success of these products can be attributed to various factors: first of all to the great diffusion on a national and international scale of the numerous tournaments and competitions that have given great prominence to these furnishings.

The great diffusion and growth of the gaming chair market has not only been determined by the great media impact of these products. Today there is in fact a growing awareness of how important it is to preserve one's health, assuming a posture that is as correct as possible, when one spends long hours sitting in front of a table or desk.

Of course, one must also consider the fact that in recent years, more and more people have become fans of video games, spending long hours in front of their gaming consoles. All these people need to create and build a workstation that is as comfortable as possible and that preserves the health of their backs during long gaming and entertainment sessions.

As in all commercial sectors, also in the gaming chair segment, we are bombarded daily by advertising messages and marketing campaigns aimed at promoting the products available on the market today. For this reason, it is now more important than ever to be aware of some preventive aspects, before venturing into the choice and purchase of a gaming chair. When choosing your gaming chair, it is important to consider carefully:

• The average duration of our gaming sessions: a big videogames enthusiast will play at least 4, 5 evenings per week, for an average of about 20, 25 hours per week. Generally, we can say that the hours spent on video games vary from 10 to 40 per week. In any case, we are talking about a lot of time spent sitting in a chair. For this reason, gamers will need a seat that is ergonomic and capable of guaranteeing the configuration of a correct posture, which is fundamental for preserving the health of the back.
• Convenience and comfort: the most important characteristics that you should always choose when choosing a gaming chair are the convenience of the furniture and the standard of comfort that it will be able to guarantee. A gaming chair should be able to keep you from getting tired too easily and giving you backache after only a week of gaming and fun. In this regard it is important to clarify that gaming chairs or office chairs are furnishings purposely conceived and designed for all those persons who spend entire days seated at their desks, in front of their PCs or consoles. For this reason these chairs are characterised by an ergonomic design, to correctly support the back and regulate posture.

Features and characteristics of a gaming chair

Gaming chairs are pieces of furniture that boast a number of specific features and characteristics. In the high-end models, the furniture has numerous adjustments, aimed at optimising the seat in the best possible way. These adjustments are in particular

• Seat tilt
• Cervical support
• Lumbar support: adjustable component to actively combat the onset of lumbago and back pain
• Elbow rest: adjustable component. Different models of elbow rests are available on the market (2d, 3d or 4d depending on the movements that this component is able to operate).

The quality of a gaming chair will obviously vary with reference to the budget that you will have available and to dedicate to the purchase of this furniture. Low-quality gaming chairs will deteriorate very easily over time. Consider also that the higher the quality of the furniture you purchase, the higher the standard of comfort it will be able to guarantee you.

Gaming chair, construction materials

In the phase of selection and purchase of a gaming chair, another aspect that you will have to consider with attention is that relative to the material used for the realisation of the furniture. According to the materials that make up our gaming chair, we will be able to identify some specific characteristics that will be useful to us and that will make us understand the structural quality of the furniture.

In this regard, it is worth underlining how the skeleton of a gaming chair certainly represents the hidden and non-visible part of the furniture (hidden inside the seat and the backrest). On the market we can find 3 main types of structures that make up gaming chairs:

• Steel structure: mounted on gaming chairs of superior quality and capable of offering a high standard of resistance. The only disadvantage of this type of structure is the fact that it will make the furniture not very light
• Aluminium structure: mounted on gaming chairs of lower quality. This structure makes the furniture lighter and easier to move, but gives it less stability
• Hybrid structure: Mix of aluminium and hard plastic usually fitted in breathable office chairs. This structure is quite light and at the same time strong. The only disadvantage in this case is the more limited maximum load-bearing capacity of the furniture.

Gaming chair, padding

The upholstery that usually makes up gaming chairs is composed of foam or compressed polyester. The latter is not really foam but the result of compression of the polyester itself, resulting in a rather dense compound, which is a good alternative to foam.

The main advantage of compressed polyester is that it does not deteriorate or yellow like classic foam. The only disadvantage of the material is that compressed polyester tends to compress further and lose its shape over time.

Nevertheless, compressed polyester is an economical alternative to classic foam and an ideal solution for occasional seating. The material is not, however, a suitable solution for a seat on which long hours of gaming or work are spent.

Gaming chair in antimicrobial medium density polyurethane foam

Antimicrobial medium density polyurethane foam is a traditional foam option used for seating and mattresses. This type of foam is able to absorb water when it gets wet; the antimicrobial treatment carried out on the foam will also help to prevent the growth of mould and fungus. Medium density foam is the ideal solution for medium to long term use of the furniture. However, this type of product will also tend to lose its shape over time.

Gaming chair in high-density polyurethane foam

This is a special foam with the same characteristics as the product described above, but with a higher density and without antimicrobial treatment. Thanks to its higher density, this foam is able to resist and preserve itself over time, without deforming and losing its shape. The high-density foam has a lifetime of approximately 12 years and is not available with an antimicrobial treatment.

Gaming chair: seat size

Another aspect that you will have to consider very carefully when choosing a gaming chair is the size of the seat. Depending on your size, you will have to look for a suitable chair model.

There are gaming chair models on the market that are suitable for people up to 1.80 cm tall. In addition to the height aspect, you should also consider the width of the seat and shoulders. In this regard, if you are a particularly robust person, it is better to choose an XL gaming chair model. This will allow you to sit comfortably without putting too much pressure on your shoulders or hips.

If, on the other hand, you're particularly light and slender, avoid buying a chair that's too big and wide.

Here's how to calculate the size of a gaming chair to suit your height and weight:

• Take the measurements of your current chair: by including the measurements of the chair you regularly sit on, you'll get an idea of the dimensions that should characterise your future gaming chair
• Take your measurements: Get a friend to help you and take your body measurements
• Compare your measurements: Once you've taken your measurements and those of your chair, compare the data you've collected.
