Whether you're riding the dusty trail, spraying opponents full of bullets, or digging up fossils, when you get lost in a virtual world the real one tends to fade away. It's all too easy to spend hours with your favorite games, but sometimes one more turn can lead to pains in your posterior, back, or shoulders. The best gaming chairs provide real comfort and proper support to sustain you long into the night.
A gaming chair used to be whatever chair you happened to use for gaming, but nowadays there's a whole category of purpose-built seats for playing video games. A good gaming chair will be durable, capable of withstanding the odd spill, and strong enough to support you for days on end. It should also be supremely comfortable. Ideally, it will be adjustable to accommodate your body and provide proper support as you shift positions.
