Premium Comfort in Gaming Chairs

On first glance, gaming chairs look like some sort of office chair/bucket seat hybrid that wouldn't be out of place on the set of Top Gear or in the cockpit of a fighter jet. On second thought, what's not to love? With aggressive lines and a slick array of colours and materials, gaming chairs are designed to suit your style. In addition, ‘Premium’ models offer superior ergonomic comfort which is known to improve your posture and concentration - vital for extended PC gaming sessions.

Overclockers UK Gaming Chair Guide

gaming chairs inspired by sports cars

How do I choose a gaming chair?

Choosing a PC gaming chair can be a tricky business, which is why we have put together this simple guide. Both gaming chairs and racing chairs refer to a subcategory of office chair. Although the words are used interchangeably we will refer to the chairs in this article as gaming chairs.

Designed to provide superior comfort and ergonomic support, gaming chairs appeal to gamers of all ages. Taking cues directly from famous sports cars and luxury jets they are the epitome of opulence yet come at a relatively affordable price. From basic, cheap gaming chairs to premium leather-upholstered models, there is a chair for every budget and taste.

Let's delve in and take a look at the key points you need to take into consideration when deciding on the best gaming chair for you.


noblechair asthetics

Aesthetics

When selecting a gaming chair, the first thing you will likely be drawn to is the design. Doing away with the drab grey aesthetic of the trusty computer chair, gaming chairs offer something new and unique.
A gaming chair should resonate with your personality, all while seamlessly complementing your decor and beautifully crafted gaming PC.


8pack physique

Personal physique

Another key thing to consider before buying a gaming chair is your physique. This plays a considerable part in determining suitability. Always check the specifications and ensure you fit within the limits.

What is your physique?

> I am an average-sized gamer
The worlds your oyster and almost any gaming chair will be compatible with your body type.

> I am a larger / taller gamer
Most brands such as noblechairs and DXRacer have a model with you specifically in mind. The noblechairs HERO, in particular, supports up to 180kg thanks to an uprated gas lift. In addition, the HERO comes as standard with a larger backrest and seating area plus adjustable lumbar support and 4D armrests.

As you are slightly ‘larger’ than average it's even more imperative you are ergonomically supported during extended gaming sessions to avoid potentially serious spinal issues later on in life.

Recommended chairs for the ‘larger’ gamer
> noblechairs HERO
> DXRacer King Series
> Vertagear Racing Series P-Line PL6000
> Vertagear Gaming Series Triigger Line 350

> I am a little shorter than the average gamer
If you are a little shorter than average, the only issue you might experience is with the overall height of the chair. Luckily we stock a range of gas lifts designed to decrease the height of the chair making them suitable for practically everyone.

Budget vs Build Quality

The next thing to take into consideration when choosing a gaming chair is budget vs build quality. As the old saying goes, “You get what you pay for” and that is especially true when it comes to gaming chairs. A lower budget will obviously result in cheaper materials which can impact comfort and longevity.

 

Is Your Gaming Chair fit for purpose?

In testing, we found cheap generic gaming chairs used a wooden frame, poor quality PU, low-density offcuts of foam and cheap flexible plastics. This resulted in a chair that would only be ‘fit for purpose’ for a relatively short period of time. We also questioned if the chair in the test would pass fire retardancy regulations.

Our personal advice is to choose a well-known brand of gaming chair that is at the top end of your budget. Buying from a Trustpilot 5 star rated retailer such as Overclockers UK also adds to your peace of mind. If anything fails, you know it will get rectified quickly.

Each brand has its own unique models which are designed to target and cater for different markets and budgets. Let's delve in and look at some of the key brands stocked at Overclockers UK.

Gaming Chairs Explored - What's right for you?



Ergonomics and Comfort

Millions of us across the globe spend on average five to ten hours a day sitting on an office chair, sparing little thought to the detrimental effect it can have on our bodies. Thanks to the overall ergonomic design of most gaming chairs, you can support your posture which in turn alleviates pressure on your spine and neck thus increasing concentration and overall productivity.

Look out for features such as:

  • A backrest with neck, upper back and lumbar support that conforms to the curvature of your spine
  • Neck and lumbar cushions to further aid with your posture
  • Height adjustability
  • Tilt and swivel mechanism
  • 3D / 4D armrests
  • Breathable fabric
  • A metal frame


    Foam Density

    Gaming Chair Foam Density: Soft vs Firm


    All premium gaming chairs come with a mid to firm density foam which ensures an extended product life. Initially, this might feel a little hard but the foam will start to soften up within a couple of months. Cheaper, generic gaming chairs, on the other hand, might feel beautifully soft and comfortable on first use but are in fact bad for your posture and won't offer the correct level of support. Soft foams are inherently low-density and offer poor durability. This will result in a seat that resembles a 'pancake' within a year or so. 

    In conclusion, If you want a chair that offers great durability, choose a model with a high-density foam

Chair fire retardancy

Safety

Unlike many gaming chairs that are available, ours all comply with the various safety and fire retardancy regulations. noblechairs, in particular, are the only gaming chair brand that possesses the widely recognised DIN EN 1335 certification and BIFMA accreditation for office chairs.

Unfortunately more and more unregulated, poor quality and potentially dangerous products are making their way into the country. These are not only a hazard to yourself but members of your family.

Alert Icon

Don't be tempted to buy any product that doesn't come certified.

Here at Overclockers UK we recommend trying a range of models before you make the final plunge.

If you can’t wait for the next epic LAN, we have a limited number of models to test out at the Overclockers UK HQ in Stoke-on-Trent.

If this isn't possible, Overclockers UK offers a 1-month comfort guarantee on all noblechairs. That means in the unlikely event you aren't happy, we will collect the chair and even offer a full refund.


How to sit in a gaming chair

How to sit properly on a gaming chair

To get the most from your gaming chair it needs to be correctly adjusted. On arrival, you need to ensure the backrest and seat height is configured and your seating position is optimised.

To achieve ergonomic harmony, follow the guide below:

  1. Adjust the gaming chairs height so your feet lay flat on the floor and your knees are at right angles - there should be very little pressure on your knees.
  2. Sit up straight and keep your bum towards the back of the chair.
  3. Reclined your gaming chair to approximately a 100- to 110-degree angle. Just be aware your neck and back should always be making contact with the backrest!
  4. To reduce neck strain ensure your monitor is placed a few inches above your eye level. If it isn't, your setup needs a tweak. 
  5. Sit an arm’s length away from the computer screen and ensure the keyboard and mouse is directly in front of you. If you have to stretch to type, you need to relocate your peripherals.
  6. Relax the shoulders and take a deep breath. You are now ready to get your game on!

 

Light Bulb IconTop Tip

Correct gaming chair height
To help select the perfect gaming chair for your particular body shape and size, try to measure the distance from the base of your heel to the back crease of the knee. This will help to correctly determine your ideal seat height.

For users, that fall outside of the advertised height range we sell a range of different sized gas lifts!

The build quality is excellent too. Many gaming chairs feature really cheap padding and material. Sure, they look great, but they’ll wear out in a few months and you’re shopping for another. The fabrics and materials used for the S300 are much more durable and long-lasting..

Nitro Concepts E220 EVO Gaming Chair

Budget Gaming Chairs Below £200

Even if you are on a tight budget, there are still gaming chairs we can highly recommend including the ever-popular Nitro Concepts E220 Evo. This stylish chair comes in at just under £180 and features a hard-wearing innovative, hybrid PU leather and fabric upholstery. In addition to this, the E220 EVO utilises superior molded cold foam instead of waste foam used in many competing products.

If your budget is a tad lower, why not opt for a Nitro Concepts C80 or Nitro Concepts C100 priced at around £145 and £150 respectively. You won't be disappointed by either option as the price to performance ratio is fantastic.
