Choosing the right PC Gaming Chair for you
Considering the large amount of time many people spend sitting at their PC when gaming or when working in an office or at home, it is essential that the PC chair you choose is going to suit your setup and body shape to ensure you remain comfortable throughout your PC gaming sessions without causing strain on your back or other muscle groups.
PC Gaming Chair features to look for
- Adjustable Seat Height: Having a PC gaming chair with a seat that can be height adjusted is a must and luckily every chair designed for PC gaming is extremely likely to have this feature.
Swivel Mechanism: Another feature that is almost always found in PC gaming chairs allowing the user to rotate fully around a full 360 degree rotation. A useful feature to avoid excessive stretching provided everything you need is close to hand on your PC gaming desk. - Recline/Tilt function: Available in the majority of PC gaming chairs this allows the user to position the angle of the backrest to their liking and lock the backrest into position. Depending on the type of PC chair you get the angle may vary somewhat, however in general many of the top end PC racing style gaming chairs are able to recline
up to a 170 – 180 degree angle, this makes them ideal for catching a
little nap throughout the day or having a quick rest in a more
horizontal position. - Adjustable Armrests: This is a feature you may not find in some of the cheaper PC gaming chairs listed however the majority of the more high end PC desk chairs should at least have armrests that are height adjustable. PC gaming chairs such as the GT Omega range feature 4D armrests allowing the armrests to be height adjustable, rotate
clockwise and anti clockwise, slide backwards and forwards as well as slide from left to right giving the user complete control over their positioning. - Additional Lumbar Support: A feature that you will often only find on the more high priced chairs where a optional headrest and lumbar support cushion is included to provide further comfort. The lumbar cushion is a nice addition to help prevent slouching and prevent strain on the lower lumbar spinal area providing additional lower back support.
Things to consider when buying a PC Gaming Chair
- Price: As with most things the more you spend the more high-quality the product is likely to be. When it comes to adjust-ability many of the more expensive PC gaming chairs from brands such as GT Omega and AK Racing are going to give you a wide range of options to get optimal positioning when gaming or sitting at a desk. If you are on a tight budget, however, many of the cheaper PC desk chairs are also very adjustable and most do provide excellent comfort to the user. Some buyers who have reviewed the cheaper PC gaming chairs even comment on how there isn’t too much difference between the cheaper variations and the top brands when it comes to comfort, although spending a bit extra will often give you a more versatile and higher quality gaming chair that is less likely to deteriorate in quality over the years.
- Size: Probably the most important thing to consider is whether the chair will fit your body shape, manufacturers within the gaming chair market are now making chairs to suit a range of body shapes so no matter what size you are there will be chairs that will suit you. Many brands list the dimensions of the gaming chair as pictured below and measuring the dimensions of your body will quickly give you a good idea of how suitable a chair is likely to be for you.
When assessing the size of a chair in comparison to your body make sure you consider the following.
- Your feet should be able to completely reach the floor and rest flat upon it. Check the range of heights the seat level is adjustable up to and measure your lower leg from your knee to the bottom of your foot to ensure your lower leg length is within the heights the seat of the chair is capable of. If you have already bought a PC gaming chair and are unable to touch the floor with your feet you may wish to consider purchasing a PC chair footrest to achieve the optimal position.
- The width and depth of the PC chair should be large enough to accommodate you comfortably. Again it makes choosing a lot easier if you measure yourself and compare your measurements to the dimensions of the chair and since these settings cannot be adjusted it is a good idea to get them correct before making a purchase.
- For checking the width of the chair measure the distance between your hips. As you can see from the gaming chair picture above the manufacturer has provided both the lower seat width and the width between the shoulders. Most manufacturers will specify how wide the seat of the PC chair is so you should be able to quickly find this information and compare it against your body dimensions.
- The Depth of the seat is the area from the front to the back of the seat, the user should have enough space to sit in the chair with their back fully against the backrest of the chair. The user should also ensure that there is at least a couple of inches of space left between the back of the knees and the front of the seat of the chair. As with the width of the PC chair, most manufacturers will also include the depth measurements making them easy to compare against your own body. To check if the depth of a particular PC gaming chair is suitable for your body type, from a seated position measure the distance between the front of your knees to your lower back/buttock area and also measure between the back of your knees to your lower back/buttock area to ensure there will be at least a couple of inches of space left available.
- Weight Capacity: The weight capacity of the chair may not be relevant to some however larger gaming enthusiasts should consider how much weight a gaming chair can withstand. Most of the PC gaming chairs listed on our site should state how much weight each chair can tolerate, however, if you cannot find the information on our site, click through to the retailer to double check if it is listed.
- Do I need an Extra Large PC Gaming Chair: Many high-end brands now produce XL racing-style gaming chairs for the PC environment that can accommodate larger and taller users far better than their standard-sized models. Some examples of these Extra Large PC gaming chairs include the GT Omega EVO, GT Omega Master, and the Vertagear PL6000, all of these extra-large PC gaming chairs can be found in our PC chairs category where you can view the range of color options available. With larger weight capacities usually between 150 kg – 200 kg and an overall larger design, these chairs are a good choice for any gamer that is taller or wider than average. Generally, the recommended height for the XL gaming chairs is between 5’9″ to 6’11”, if you are over 6 ft tall it is highly recommended you consider the XL PC gaming chairs before looking at the more standard-sized chairs, on the contrary, if you are below average height or weight it is recommended that you consider a more standard sized PC gaming chair.
