When I was a kid, all I wanted to do in my spare time was play video games. Whenever I could dodge my mom’s shouts to get outside and ride my bike, I’d be vegged out in front of my game console, saving the galaxy, fighting the monsters, catching the criminals, and sometimes being the criminal. I’d usually plop down on a beanbag chair or sit on the floor.
As an adult, I still love to spend all my spare time gaming. My gaming experience has improved greatly since those early days, though. I’ve traded my gaming console for multiplayer PC gaming and upgraded my bean bag chair to the ultimate in gaming paraphernalia: PC gaming chairs.
For those who don’t understand the need for a specialized gaming chair, I can only say that no other piece of furniture can provide the kind of support or comfort you get from a chair that’s specifically designed for gaming.
Why Buy a PC Gaming Chair?
To be clear, PC gaming chairs aren’t for those who like to play video games occasionally. I spend hours gaming after work and on the weekends, so I wanted to treat myself to a chair designed with my favorite pastime in mind.
While some may assume that a regular office chair will work fine for gaming, I’ve found that this isn’t true. Office chairs simply aren’t designed with the level of support and the kind of comfort I’ve experienced from trying out various gaming chairs at my friends’ houses.
While the features of each chair vary with price, PC gaming chairs tend to focus a lot on providing ergonomic support. Their specially-designed padding focuses on your spine, your lower back, and your neck. Some of them tilt as far as 180 degrees backwards to accommodate your favorite gaming position.
After converting to a PC gaming chair, one thing I know for certain is there’s no going back to the beanbag chair ever again.
