Gaming chair? Office chair? The choice is so difficult! In the perennial battle of gaming chairs vs office chairs, which side should you choose? And what is the difference between a gaming chair and office chair?

The Backrest
The ergonomic design of the racing gaming chair provides support to the back. It must adapt to the shape of the back to ensure a health-friendly posture without restricting the body. However, many racing-style chairs do have winged backrests. Not every occupant finds this comfortable and may feel squeezed into to seat. If you have a very wide back make sure you choose your chair accordingly. The correct size of a gaming chair is crucial for comfort.

As it is difficult not to crouch in a chair, manufacturers of racing style gaming chairs have introduced neck pillows and lumbar cushions that assist the occupant to sit in an upright healthy posture. When properly adjusted the lumbar pillow will force you to always sit with a straight back.

Many of the better office chairs have a lumbar support feature built into the backrest which can then be adjusted using a rotary knob on the side. This adds additional mechanics and thus costs to the price of the chair.

The Seat
Many Racing style gaming chairs have adopted the bucket seat design found in real car race seats. The elevated or winged sides of the bucket-style seat, give additional support to the race driver when cornering. As a gamer, you may not experience those g-forces but it looks and fits the theme.

Important here is enough width of the seat pan (just as for the backrest) to allow comfortable ergonomic sitting without feeling cramped. The depth of the seat should be such that when sitting straight against the backrest the inside of the knees is about 2 inches away from the seat edge.

The Armrests
Good gaming chairs need armrests to provide comfortable rest for your arms and to relieve pressure and strain on your shoulders. Their surface should be large enough for sufficient support for the forearms during play without restricting freedom of movement.

4D armrests are height adjustable, can be moved in and outwards from the gamer, as well as back and forward and can be rotated;
The 3D armrests are adjustable in height, width and in-depth;
A 2D armrest is adjustable in width and height;
Static armrests are not recommendable as they can not be adjusted your body.

The Covers
As with any chair, the covers can be made of fabrics, mesh, imitation leather or genuine leather. Each having its own practical pros and cons, important is durability, abrasion resistance, and breathability.

Fabric covers or mesh covers are particularly breathable and quite effective to prevent sweating. When sitting down it always feels pleasantly warm. A disadvantage of mesh or fabric covers is the difficulty of cleaning. Spills must be wiped off immediately and to remove stains a special upholstery cleaner must be used.

Synthetic leather or faux leather is usually a Polyurethane plastic therefore also simply called PU leather covers. Synthetic leather covers are easy to clean, spills can simply be wiped off without leaving a stain. Low-quality artificial leather may have a strong smell when new and is often not as breathable as high-quality artificial leather.
Genuine Leather upholstery gives the chair a noble look and ensures a pleasant sitting climate. Leather covers are able to absorb moisture without feeling wet. Real leather is also very durable and resistant to abrasion. Genuine leather covers push the price of a gaming chair.
