Criterias of choice
Before choosing a gaming chair, you need to decide on the key characteristics that should be present in high-quality gaming furniture:
- Physiology. Anatomic seat and backrest are a must.
- The ability to adjust. In general, the more parameters can be adjusted, the better, but we choose based on the time spent at the game. Gamers who spend up to 3-4 hours a day at the monitor have enough basic adjustments; professionals who are in front of the computer for more than 8 hours daily need a maximum.
- The quality of the materials. First of all, it is worth paying attention to what the supporting frame and the cross are made of. It is preferable to choose a chair with metal elements, the joints should not creak. It is important that the wheels are rubberized, do not damage the laminate flooring. Upholstery material should be wear-resistant, not stick to the body during long sitting.Breathability is important - trusted manufacturers offer upholstery with perforations or use “breathable” materials that do not create a greenhouse effect.
The selection of additional functions should be balanced and appropriate. It is not entirely wise to give preference to a multifunctional model if most of the options are essentially unnecessary, because "newfangled chips" significantly increase the cost of the product.
