The word “gaming chair” brought about a thousand links and I thought I was gonna go crazy just sorting through all of it but it turns out, you don’t really need to read a lot about gaming chairs to know what they are all about. Simply put that a gaming chair is specifically designed to be compatible with most gaming consoles or your computer, if that is your preference, to bring you the most realistic gaming experience there is.
Besides being the most comfortable of chairs the world has ever seen, these things also bring a whole lot of features to the table that will bring any gaming enthusiast a gaming experience on a new level. So it was decided (by me of course) that a gaming chair is needed to fill in that missing piece I need to complete my gaming experience. The dilemma was that I was not sure what really to get since there are hundreds and maybe even thousands of them out there just on the internet alone. To help me out in this, I thought to read about some advice available online on what to look for in a gaming chair.
Just like any kind of chair, I needed to make sure that comfort is on the top of the list. Gaming chairs are indeed designed to bring the whole experience to life but we just can’t let the basics go, and that is comfort. It is good to make sure that the chair itself has an ergonomic design and if it has other comfort features then you would be much better off. After this “first round”, you can go ahead and choose from the wide variety of features that different manufacturers offer. Of course, if you would like to stop at just comfort then it would be your choice but like I said, for me, it just wasn’t enough. I respect everybody’s opinion on this and if a certain gamer feels that comfort is all that they need to complete their ultimate gaming experience, then they can go with basic comfortable gaming chairs without all the fuzz. The upside to this particular preference is the price.
Gaming and comfort in this beautiful chair is the best
Gaming chairs without the added features generally cost much less than their more awesome brothers of course. However, if economic price and comfort are all that you need, then that’s well and good. I applaud and admire those who also give value to their finances. If, on the other hand, you find that you have enough money to buy awesome gaming chairs, then I advise you to go on and find one with just the right features to keep you happy.
Building On To Your Best Gaming Chair
Most “added” features of a gaming chair would start from the sound system. You would find the basic speakers that are commonly located at the part of the chair where you would usually rest your head on to give you a full blast of the action from the game itself. Oftentimes, you would find a subwoofer to go with the speakers to give you a more realistic feel in terms of the audio from the game. After that, you can start looking at connectivity.
While most gaming chairs that have wired connections work just fine, you may want to go for wireless connectivity since this eliminates the mess of tangled wires you would usually get when playing. This can also help you clean up – if you’re the type who unfortunately has to do that. Again, this is something that is subjective and will depend on each gamer so it’s always safe to know your own preference instead of just mere listening to others. Although the list of features is virtually endless, I will throw in one more that I think most of you will be interested in; vibrating motors or also known as force feedback. This particular feature I believe is something that will work extremely well on some games and not so on others. The reason I say that is because certain games will just need a very good surround sound to bring you “into it” hence not needing this specific feature. So you have to carefully look into the games that you usually play and asses if the extra money you’ll be spending will be worth it.
Once you try this you`ll never want to go back
On top of all of these, it is best of course to make sure that the chair is compatible with your console since how else can you enjoy it if it’s not?
The Best PC Gaming Chairs
Many gamers have experienced, at least once in their gaming life, a certain discomfort whenever they sit for hours to play in front of their computers and no matter how hard they try to make their position comfortable with pillows and anything that they can put their hands or backs on, it just doesn’t cut it when it comes to making sure that you don’t end up with a terrible backache or numbing legs. Some have contented themselves with office chairs which seem to do the trick as to make sure that your back has support however, not all of them are as effective as others and some may even be pricey. That is why it is such a relief that an invention such as a computer gaming chair has come forth to claim supremacy in all things worthy of a gamer’s money. However, with the thousands of pc gaming chairs out there, how can one decide on which is the best computer gaming chair for their specific needs?
Deciding on what best pc gaming chairs suit you
Before you embark on a journey to finding the best pc gaming chair there is in the land, you must first decide what you really want to get out of the chair that you would want to have as your “gaming partner”. Most, if not all, gamers have comfort as a basic need and this is not a problem because comfort is something that all pc gaming chairs offer. If this is something that a particular brand or model does not offer then it’s best to just go ahead and move on. You don’t need to bother and waste time assessing that particular computer gaming chair because no matter how many features it may offer, you would never enjoy playing if your back starts to ache after only about half an hour into your game. We all know that gamers stay for hours on end in front of their computers once they have started. So that’s the first thing that you have to determine. Do I have specific needs when it comes to comfort? Its ergonomic design enough to support my back and make sure it won’t bother me? Or do I still need to make sure that I have my neck supported as well? Remember that everyone is unique and one gamer may have different needs when it comes to comfort than another gamer may have.
This is why some gaming chairs only offer this kind of perk which is perfect for those who think they can live without some of the features that other pc gaming chairs may offer. Since these kinds of gaming chairs are relatively cheaper as well, then it’s perfect for those who are on a tight budget and feel that they can do with just sitting on a comfortable chair and play the hours away.
When you’ve got that one out of the way, it’s time for the “fun stuff” which are features added on by some manufacturers to make your gaming experience as close to reality as possible. The next most common feature would be the speakers for surround sound. You would find that the best computer gaming chairs have speakers that are just behind the gamer’s ears when sitting and usually a part of the headrest. Although there are models that have the speaker on the side of the seat where it can fire the sound up and in some cases mimic the purpose of a vibrating motor, most gamers prefer having them close to their own ears. In this way, they can’t miss even the smallest sound which can be very crucial in some favorite games. Some even offer subwoofers to improve sound quality although most of the time, speakers always come with these. However, if you feel that you’re okay with just having plain speakers, then this is something that you may want to skip when deciding what the best pc gaming chair is for you.
Of course, how can we ever forget about the vibrating motors? This one bit is debatable among gamers since some are just content with having surround sound and subwoofers. Some may even go as far are to swear that you would almost feel the movement if you have a good enough sound to back up the action happening in your computer. However, it can still be something that you may want to look into so you can decide for yourself whether or not you can do without this “tiny” feature that could just add to your satisfaction as a gamer. Besides these main features that you usually get from gaming chairs, there is a handful that also offers little things like a cup holder or a rack where you can put your snacks on. Wouldn’t it be sweet if you have everything that you need just within arm’s reach?
Going in for the kill
In all of this, it is always good to remember that getting more features from your best computer gaming chair means you also need to pay up. It’s just logical, isn’t it? The more features there are in your gaming chair, then the more money you would have to shell out to make the most out of your playtime. So it’s not only good to decide on what you want but also on what you can give for them. As if it’s not already hard to choose from these amazing features, you even have to think of your finances. It’s such a bummer, right? Everyone wants to have the best pc gaming chair that they could get their hands on and at one point you may want to have most, if not all, of the features possible in one chair. However, we have to be realistic because we live in the real world where gaming chairs do not come free and in some cases, they can also be costly. So be wise about your decision. There are thousands of pc gaming chairs out there you can choose from. You just have to be patient and go through your options as if it will be a major life decision that you are making. In any case, who’s to say that it’s not?

Gaming chairs for adults. Comfort for the “Real Kids”
Playing comes naturally to kids. It is very basic to them that you don’t really have to teach them how to do it. If you leave them alone for a few minutes, you shouldn’t be surprised to see them playing even on their own with some made-up game using anything that they can put their hands-on as toys so much more if you introduce them to computer games with stunning and captivating graphics that will have them glued to their computer screens for hours on end. Unlike homework, playing is something that you don’t have to tell them twice about and it may be one reason why most people really enjoy playing computer games even well into their adult life. Yes, playtime doesn’t really lose its appeal as you grow older whether you admit to it or not.
However, the games change to a somewhat more sophisticated or expensive one considering that most gamers are willing to spend money on whatever they need to make the most of their playing time, and here comes the gaming chair for adults that we have been hearing about these days. Gaming chairs are all the buzz today with their ability to make every gaming experience not just comfortable but also more enjoyable than it has ever been. It may still be surprising that many adults are most willing to spend money on these specialized chairs to get that very unique experience whenever they sit and play. That is why it may not be surprising at all that since there are gaming chairs for adults, there should be gaming chairs for kids as well and here, there are still a whole lot of possibilities to be discovered and explored.
From big to small
One may easily think that just because gaming chairs have already been invented for adults then it can simply be downsized to make one for kids. However, you may be surprised to see that there are simply endless ways to make gaming chairs for kids. Since kids are naturally imaginative, these gaming chairs have to stay in tune with how a kid would want to enjoy his or her playing time. Sure, the common gaming chair already has the basics covered like comfort in general, full back support to prevent any “gaming-related injuries” like stiff neck, backaches, and many others, to die for speakers and subwoofers to give you the best feel of whatever action is happening in the game, the occasional vibrating motors that more expensive chairs have for a little more action added, and many more to be left to the imagination of the people responsible for these fantastic chairs.
Although these features will not go unappreciated in a gaming chair specially designed for kids, you will find that the kid version of your typical gaming chair can actually be much more fun than its predecessor. Of course, your basic features, and probably more, are already incorporated in these gaming chairs for kids just like the ones that were made for adults however, and since kids just have to have fun in everything that they do, they want to be able to have fun just with the chair itself. That is why gaming chairs specially designed for kids are not just more colorful and eye-catching; they are more often than not incorporated into cartoon characters that are popular among kids or even themed to look like a game itself. Indeed, you don’t need to do too much to have kids play since it is the one thing that they almost always want to do but in the same way that they are eager to have fun and play, most kids of a certain age also lose interest about anything just as easily as they can start loving a computer game that they have just discovered. This is the reason why manufacturers have to give gaming chairs for kids an extra creative twist to make the chair just as interesting as the game that they are playing with it.
Gaming chairs for kids and kids-at-heart.
The purpose of gaming chairs, whether made for kids or “bigger kids”, is to provide utmost comfort for beginners and serious gamers alike. From what we have seen of the availability of these specialized chairs these days, there is no question that one day, there would be something new to be added to the already growing list of features that we have from some of them. However, the most basic feature which is comfort will never be out of the question when it comes to gaming chairs no matter the price or sophistication of the product or the age for which it is made for. Gaming chairs specifically designed for kids are indeed somewhat more “flashy” than those of their adult version and this is in part because kids usually would pick whatever catches their eyes first and captures their imagination especially when it comes to gaming.
However, it does not dismiss the fact that they still need the basic feature that all gaming chairs have which is comfort. Since this is not something that your average kid will simply be looking for in a gaming chair, it is the responsibility of the adults to make sure that they get this one feature besides the ones that they already have decided to be the “clinching factor” on why they want to have a specific chair for their gaming pleasure. Although adult gamers do take note of the technical features that a gaming chair can offer and although their decision to purchase a specific brand or variety may be based on this, it is still true that the kid inside us all may still have a say on what you may eventually pick as your perfect gaming chair. Hence, even some gaming chairs for adults may still feature some flashy design to catch your eye before convincing you with its surround sound speakers, subwoofers, and a vibrating motor to boot. Of course, we can’t forget the cup holder, that’s always important, right?
