As someone who deals with computers 365 days a, I have a great say!
I think: Gaming chairs can be bought, but they are not necessary. Compared with ordinary home chairs, the advantages of gaming chairs are quite obvious, and you can really consider buying them. First of all, there's no denying that gaming chairs are really great. This is the number one reason I bought it. My girlfriend also likes to sit in the gaming chair when she is live streaming, and the domineering gaming chair can bring out her beauty even more.
Secondly, in terms of short-term comfort, gaming chairs that are thicker and better fit the human body can indeed hang traditional chairs. When you are tired from playing games, it is also a good way to relax in the gaming chair.
However, I don't think it's necessary to buy a gaming chair.
Because for ordinary people, chairs are used to sit, not to watch, the advantages of the appearance of gaming chairs are of great significance to the anchor, but not to ordinary people.
In addition, gaming chairs are only more comfortable than ordinary chairs for a short period of time, and gaming chairs are not easy to use for a long time. This is because the gaming chair is not breathable, and it will feel very hot after sitting for a long time. The surface of the gaming chair is generally flat with PU leather. Although this material has good luster and strong ornamental properties, it has extremely poor gas properties. In summer, even if the air conditioner is turned on, the airtight back and bottom are still slowly heated with the help of body temperature, just like a "stuffy tank" formed by leather and the human body. So much so that I have to stand up every little while to let my butt breathe. Maybe the gaming chair is reminding me not to sit for a long time because sitting for a long time hurts my body. But in general, I will ignore the reminder of the gaming chair. chair. Even if it's not summer, as long as the weather is not cold, gaming chairs are a nightmare for people who like to sweat. The constantly heated back and bottom of the chair always made me feel like I was in an oven as if a frog was being boiled in warm water.
I saw on the Internet that PU leather is easily corroded by sweat and then rotted, but because I maintain it well (or use it very little), my gaming chair does not have this problem, but the white surface is a little yellow.
In addition, the degree of fit of the gaming chair to the human body is not particularly high. Although almost all gaming chairs mention "ergonomics" in their advertisements, their comfort level is only higher than that of ordinary wooden chairs. That's it. The gaming chair only contains a small number of ergonomic elements, with few adjustable places, no lumbar support design, and lack of support for the waist. In essence, its structure is not much different from that of traditional chairs. Therefore, sitting for a long time will still make people feel sore in the shoulders and waist, and feel tired physically and mentally.
