How Ergohuman gaming chairs are designed for PC gamers
Did you know that 1.85 billion people worldwide play games on a PC? According to Statista, PC gaming is becoming more popular each year, with the majority of video game releases of the past two years being developed for PC.
With so many enjoying the immersive experience of PC video games, it's important to emphasise comfort while gaming. When gaming at a desk, it doesn’t take long to become stiff, slouched, or numb if you’re in the wrong type of chair. That's where Ergohuman gaming chairs come in.
Specially engineered to support the body while at a desk, these are the ideal chairs for PC gaming. From the 5D adjustable armrests to the integrated headrest and legrest, every detail is crafted for your comfort.
What makes Ergohuman chairs perfect for PC gaming?
Our ergonomic gaming chairs are popular with PC gamers. Inspired by the iconic design of our Elite office chairs – of which we have sold over 5 million worldwide – you know our gaming chairs will be ergonomically sound. Engineered for desk work, it's the perfect solution for PC gamers.
In fact, in recent years, enthusiastic PC gamers have been turning to ergonomic task chairs anyway. But now, you don't have to sacrifice the cool gaming aesthetic for quality ergonomic design. You can get both – comfortable support and timeless style – in one product suitable for– both gaming and work.
What features of the chair ensure an excellent gaming experience?
> Adjustable recline
All the Ergohuman gaming chairs – including the Ultra models and the Ergohuman Carbon – feature our iconic free-float recline mode. The chairs recline generously in a fluid motion so you don't feel you are shooting back or falling. You can even adjust the recline resistance to suit your strength and weight.
You can also lock the backrest in any of the four recline positions, depending on what feels most comfortable for you. When PC gaming, you'll likely sit upright, but the free-float recline means you can effortlessly lean back when celebrating a victory, lamenting a loss, or simply reaching for something behind you.
> Lumbar support
Our ergonomic gaming chairs all feature an advanced lumbar support system. The lumbar support bar, with its adjustable tension, helps maintain a healthy spine position while you play. When gaming for long hours, it's important to practice healthy posture to prevent aches and pains. Even if you begin to slouch, the lumbar support makes it easy to correct yourself.
> Headrest and legrest
The Ergohuman range of ergonomic chairs all come fully loaded with a headrest and legrest included within the price tag. The headrest has many benefits for PC gamers, including maintaining healthy posture, customising your comfort, minimising fatigue, and supporting your neck and head when you lean back.
The legrest is also a surprise welcome. While you may not think you need a legrest for gaming at a desk, it can help with maintaining a healthy posture while you lean back.
It also minimises leg pain and stiffness, improves blood flow, and helps prevent leg swelling. The legrest is excellent for those who switch between PC gaming, handheld gaming, and console gaming, as it allows for versatile sitting styles.
> Breathable mesh
Our comfortable gaming chairs all feature breathable mesh. The unique mesh upholstery is designed to adapt seamlessly to any body type while keeping you cool, even when things heat up.
The elastomeric properties, with ten auto-flex zones, ensure optimal weight distribution and next-level support. The mesh also promotes the dynamic movement necessary for maintaining good health, so you don’t become stiff while you play.
If you would like to test our gaming chairs, keep in mind that we offer free 30-day returns. This policy provides peace of mind, although we are confident that our chairs will enhance your gaming setup.
> Adjustable seat and backrest
All gamers are unique. That's why our chairs are designed to support a wide range of individuals. With adjustable seat slide, backrest height, and seat height, our premium gaming chairs are suitable for a variety of anthropometric measurements.
Upon receiving your chair, please read the user guide carefully to ensure proper setup for optimal comfort.
> 5D adjustable armrests
The Ergohuman gaming chairs all feature 5D adjustable armrests. The five possible adjustments include the height, width, depth, angle, and tilt, so you can experience fully supported wrists and forearms while PC gaming. The soft PU padding provides additional comfort and flexibility, while the multi-directional adjustments allow you to switch between gaming modes easily.
How ergonomic are Ergohuman gaming chairs?
It's clear that Ergohuman chairs offer intense comfort and exceptional build quality, but 'ergonomics' is an often misused buzzword. The true definition of ergonomics is 'the study of how equipment and furniture can be arranged so that people can do work or other activities more efficiently and comfortably'. In simpler terms, it's the fit between people and their workstations, ensuring the setup is fitted to the person and not vice-versa.
When it comes to gaming, the chair must suit the task and the individual, including their measurements and style of play. The Ergohuman gaming chairs feature over a dozen customisable settings, ensuring each individual can tailor the settings to suit their height, weight, strength, and gaming mode.
The above features are only some of the adjustable details on our ergonomic gaming chairs. You'll also find a synchro tilt mechanism, a forward seat tilt, and adjustable lumbar tension to ensure your customised comfort is as supported as possible.
