    How ergonomic gaming chairs boost the PC gaming experience

    Apr 04, 2024

    Since 1962, when the first PC game, Space World, was released, PC gaming has been a mainstay in the world of video games. The popularity of PC gaming can be attributed to the crisp graphics, immersive gaming style, and vast selection of available games.

    When every click and keystroke counts, the experience goes beyond entertainment. It's a journey into digital realms that involve strategy and skill. As gamers navigate virtual landscapes, comfort and focus become pivotal. This is where ergonomic gaming chairs step in.


    Ergonomic gaming chairs, such as the Ergohuman range, combine the thrill of gaming with long-lasting comfort. Delving into the relationship between PC gaming and ergonomic chairs, understanding the fusion of technology and design highlights how seating can create an environment for gamers to dominate.

    The essence of PC gaming

    PC gaming is known to be thrilling and immersive. It's a combination of being in close proximity to the monitor and the manual interaction with players’ mouse and keyboard that makes gamers feel ‘in the game’ when playing on PC. But with immersion typically comes long gaming hours. During this time, it's essential that players prioritise comfort and in return, focus.


    The most critical element for comfort while gaming is the chair you sit on. As a leader in the ergonomic seating market, with over five million office chairs sold, Comfort Seating spent years perfecting the Ergohuman gaming chair range. The chairs are designed to improve your PC gaming experience by providing proper support during long gaming sessions

    Understanding ergonomic gaming chairs

    Ergonomic gaming chairs are a step above regular gaming chairs. A truly ergonomic chair is one that adjusts to fit almost all users. Players can adjust a range of features, including seat height, back height, seat depth, recline mode, lumbar tension, the 5D armrests, and much more. With over a dozen adjustable features, Ergohuman gaming chairs take a one-chair-fits-all approach, catering to players of any shape, size, and gaming style.


    In designing Comfort's new range of gaming chairs, we took inspiration from our globally acclaimed office chairs. Noticing that pro gamers were beginning to prefer ergonomic office chairs over traditional gaming chairs anyway, we designed a product that combined the best of both worlds. Ergohuman gaming chairs feature the same intelligence and support as ergonomic office chairs, while delivering sleek aesthetics.  


    The key beneficial features of Ergohuman gaming chairs include:


    Automatic lumbar support

    This helps with sustained posture support and mitigates back pain during long gaming sessions


    Free-float recline

    The chairs have four lockable positions, but you can utilise free-float mode for dynamic reclining. The chair will respond to you, depending on the recline position you prefer, whether that's upright or leaned back.

     

    Headrest and legrest

    Comfort is key when gaming at your PC. The included headrests and legrests achieve unparalleled cranial support, and you can elevate your legs underneath your desk if you have space.

     

     Elastomeric mesh

    Unlike traditional gaming chairs, which feature fabric, leather, or memory foam, our chairs feature elastomeric mesh. With individual flex zones, the chair has intelligent weight distribution to relieve pressure on your back and thighs. The mesh is also breathable, so you can keep cool while the pressure is on.

     

    Forward seat tilt

    A forward seat tilt allows you to lean into your game and enjoy the most immersive experience. The seat and backrest tilt together, delivering coordinated movements with a natural drift feel.



    The ergonomic features increase endurance and focus while you game. With a chair that responds to your micro-movements and delivers a dynamic response, you can focus more on the game and less on discomfort. It's a chair that's part of the action in a way you've never experienced before.

    Boosting performance with Ergohuman gaming chairs

    Ergohuman gaming chairs aren't designed to improve the gaming performance for some - they are designed to improve gaming performance for any player. The custom settings allow each user to create the perfect gaming set-up regardless of their shaping and style.


    Each player can tailor the chair to their individual gaming preferences. From adjustable lumbar support to adjustable seat depth, this high-performance gaming chair will transform how you play. With next-level posture support, the ergonomic seating solution allows users to sit correctly in the chair. When PC gaming for hours at a time, this is essential for mitigating pain and strain.

Whether you game for an hour at a time or it's a significant part of your daily routine, the chairs are designed for extended gaming sessions.

    best PC games for immersive experiences

    Ergohuman high end gaming chairs prioritise ergonomic design and durable build quality to deliver a chair that we can confidently back with a 10-year warranty. While we stand behind our chairs with conviction, we also stand behind a few remarkable PC games that would pair perfectly with our chairs.


    Elden Ring

    Elden Ring takes immersion to the next level. The Golden Order has been broken - the Elden Ring shattered. With each demigod possessing a piece of the ring and, with that, evil power, players must navigate the world to repair the ring and henceforth become the Elden Lord. Beautiful and packed with quests, this is the kind of game that you'll never want to stop playing.


    Subnautica

    If you're a fan of survival games, then Subnautica might be one to try. Set in an open world and played from a first-person perspective, gamers will land in an alien ocean world, and the only direction they can go is down. Explore coral reefs and deep-sea trenches while managing your oxygen supply and avoiding harmful sea life.


    Disco Elysium - The Final Cut

    Begin exploring as a character who has lost his memory. Learn about the unique world of Elysium through the eyes of a forgetful detective who must solve a series of crimes in the world. While there is much to do, players could spend hours alone exploring the world's lore.


    Red Dead Redemption 2

    Relive the past by heading back to 1899 America with Arthur Morgan, who is fleeing town after a failed robbery attempt. Arthur and his gang must fight and steal their way across the country as they battle to survive. Being extremely immersive, it's impossible not to spend hours at a time playing this game, making a truly ergonomic chair a necessary companion.


    Baldur's Gate 3

    The recently released Baldur's Gate 3 comes with a warning from players that it might swallow your life. Riveting and enchanting, this game will pull you in for hours. Gather your party and head to the Forgotten Realms, where your powers await you. You get the choice to use the powers to turn from evil or embrace it.

    Choosing ergonomic seating for PC video games

    The Ergohuman range of ergonomic chairs provides optimal comfort for PC gaming. When committing to an immersive game that reels you in for hours at a time, comfort and posture support are important - not just for your gaming experience but also for your health.


    Ergonomic gaming chairs with lumbar support, 5D armrests, and adjustable features allow individuals to tailor the chair to their needs and preferences. The chairs mitigate pain and strain, reducing the chances of musculoskeletal problems. Ergohuman gaming chairs provide unmatched support from top to tail so that you can focus on your game, not your discomfort.
