Gaming Chairs

Choosing the right gaming chair for your home setup

A gaming chair designed for extended sessions gives you adjustable lumbar and neck support that a standard office chair often lacks, which matters when you are sitting for two to four hours at a time. When you are comparing models, look for chairs with a reclining backrest that goes to at least 135 degrees, a seat width of no less than 50cm, and adjustable armrests that can be repositioned to keep your shoulders relaxed.

When a gaming chair setup works best in your home office

A dedicated gaming and office chair setup earns its place once you're at the desk for more than a couple of hours a day, whether for work, study or long gaming sessions, because a shared dining or occasional chair won't hold up to that kind of daily use. You should allow at least 120cm of clear space behind and to the sides of your chair so you can recline and swivel freely without hitting walls or other furniture.

Getting your office gaming chair height and fit right

Your chair seat height should position your knees at roughly 90 degrees with your feet flat on the floor, which for most adults falls between 42cm and 52cm from floor to seat cushion. Seat depth also matters: you should be able to sit with your back fully supported against the lumbar rest while leaving about 5cm of clearance between the front edge of the seat and the back of your knees.

Frequently asked questions

How is a gaming chair different from a regular office chair?

Gaming chairs typically feature a higher backrest (often reaching 80cm to 90cm), integrated headrest and lumbar cushions, and a bucket seat design borrowed from motorsport seating. Standard office chairs tend to prioritise mesh ventilation and ergonomic adjustability over the aesthetic and bolstered support that gaming chairs provide.

What weight capacity should I look for in a gaming chair?

Most gaming chairs in our range have a weight capacity between 100kg and 150kg. If you are above 100kg, check the specific product specifications before purchasing to make sure the gas lift cylinder and base frame are rated for your weight.

Are gaming chairs good for long work-from-home days?

Gaming chairs with adjustable lumbar support and a recline function of at least 135 degrees can be comfortable for full working days, particularly for people who prefer a more upright or slightly reclined posture. For sessions longer than four hours, take a standing break every 45 to 60 minutes regardless of chair quality.

How do I clean a gaming chair?

PU leather gaming chairs can be wiped down with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap, then dried immediately to prevent moisture from seeping into the seams. Fabric gaming chairs generally respond well to a light vacuum and a spot-clean with upholstery cleaner, though full fabric removal for washing is only possible on chairs with removable covers.

What floor type works best under a gaming chair?

Most gaming chairs come with either hard floor castors or carpet castors, and many include a set suitable for both. On hard floors, soft rubber or polyurethane castors protect against scratching, while chairs used on carpet benefit from harder nylon castors that roll more freely.
