Gaming chairs that take you to the next level

When it’s time to find the best gaming chair there are a few things you should consider. Ask yourself how many hours per day you’ll be gaming. Knowing this can help you choose the right chair for you.

Pro gamers need a chair with adjustable arm rests and headrest and lumbar support that keep them comfortable, focused and ready for anything.

Cool under pressure or in the driver’s seat – what’s your gaming chair type?

What’s top of mind for you – a chair made of breathable material that keeps you cool even when the stakes are high in that big boss fight? Or one that’s comfortable for marathon gaming sessions?

Ask yourself how much time you’ll spend gaming and if you want something with an airy metal mesh or if you’re more focused on upholstery and padding for added comfort.

Elevate your setup with essential accessories

So you’ve found the perfect chair – now it’s time to accessorize. Games can’t be won on comfortable chairs alone. You also need a CPU stand with casters so you can move your computer tower wherever you need it, a gaming mouse pad that keeps all your moves smooth, and a monitor stand so you always have a good eye level and no cricks in your neck.

Switch it up – recharge your batteries

Even the best gamers need to recharge their batteries. Pause. Step away from your setup, stretch and get your body moving for a few minutes. Download an app for quick workouts, play with your pet or take a power nap in your chair.
