FAQ About Gaming Chairs

What is a gaming chair?

A gaming chair should be as comfortable as possible, so that you can play video games for a long time without your body hurting in the long run. Some models resemble a classic office chair.

Which gaming chair to buy?

It depends on how you want to use the chair. There are gaming chairs in the form of office chairs, beanbags or with footstools. Some models have adjustable armrests or additional neck or lumbar cushions. We have compiled the most popular models for you on this page.

How much does a gaming chair cost?

A gaming chair can cost over 200 euros. If you regularly sit at your PC, such a purchase is certainly worthwhile.

What material is a gaming armchair made of?

A gaming chair must be comfortable in any case. Therefore, it should not contain any harmful ingredients and it should be stable so that you can use it for as long as possible. It is good if the armchair is upholstered with cold foam. Foam also provides a comfort factor, but it is not characterized by its long durability. Therefore, if you sit on the chair more often, it will be worn out quite quickly. The frame must also be robust and is therefore usually made of metal or aluminum.

How is a gaming chair assembled?

You can either assemble the gaming chair yourself or have it sent to you already assembled. If you want to assemble the chair yourself, you will need an assembly manual in any case. These should be included in the delivery. Note that a ready-built chair is usually a little more expensive. However, if you are not a skilled craftsman, this method can be a good alternative.

What features does a gaming armchair have?

A gaming chair should be optimally adjustable to your body size and weight. Therefore, it is important that it is height adjustable. Of course, you should not put too much weight on the gaming chair. Therefore, you should read the manufacturer’s specifications beforehand and pay attention to the maximum load limit.

What accessories are available?

Some chairs come with a matching stool. You can also upgrade the chair with different sound systems or lights.

How ergonomic is a gaming chair?

Many gaming armchairs are ergonomically shaped so that the backrests and seats adapt perfectly to your body. This allows you to sit comfortably at your desk for longer periods of time.
