Are gaming chairs ergonomic?
In recent years, the e-sports industry has become popular, and it has also spawned many peripheral products. For example, there are many e-sports chairs on the market. There are many styles to choose from, which is dizzying. So how should you choose a suitable chair that will make you feel comfortable? Can users work for a long time or enjoy entertainment?
In fact, it is very important to choose a suitable chair. You sit for at least 8 hours a day, which is almost the same as sleeping in bed. The most ideal thing is to choose an ergonomic chair that can support the user's waist. Support allows users to maintain the same posture more comfortably for a long time. This is also the most valuable thing about an ergonomic chair. So compared with gaming chairs, which one is better? How to choose?
To choose a suitable chair, start from four directions:
lumbar support
The most important thing about a chair is sufficient support for the waist. The more sufficient support the waist has, the less pressure the spine will bear. The design of an ergonomic chair often places more emphasis on lumbar support, and is more particular about the materials and design. The chair is designed according to the person's body shape, so that the user can have more adequate support.
The lumbar support of gaming chairs is mostly a soft lumbar pillow placed on the chair. The soft lumbar pillow is not cut to provide sufficient support, nor can it reduce the pressure on the spine.
seat height
The ideal seat height is when the feet can be placed flat on the ground and the feet are at 90 degrees to the ground. If the chair can be raised and lowered, it can be adjusted according to the height of each user. If necessary, a foot can be added. tread.
The seat height of ergonomic chairs and most gaming chairs can be adjusted, allowing users to freely adjust the height to suit different body types.
Seat depth
The depth of a chair is very important. Some people will like a deeper seat because it feels more comfortable. However, if the chair is too deep, the waist will not be able to reach the back of the chair, and the back of the chair will not be able to support the lower waist.
The ideal seat depth is to have your feet flat on the ground, and there is a distance between 3 fingers and 1 fist between the seat and the back of the knee. Therefore, ergonomic chairs can generally adjust the depth of the seat to suit different people; on the contrary, Looking at various gaming chairs, their seats are relatively deep, and the seat depth can rarely be adjusted. In many cases, the ideal distance cannot be reached when people sit up, so that the waist cannot be reached. The back of the chair cannot perform as it should. If you sit for a long time, you will become more and more tired.
Headrest design
The headrest is not necessary. In fact, when we sit upright and work, we don’t use the headrest. The headrest is only used when we rest and want to lean back. Some people like to support different positions of the head, while others like to support the head in different positions. If you like to support your neck, the most important thing is to adjust it to a comfortable position. If the headrest can be adjusted in height and inclination, it will be most convenient for users to adjust it freely. Ergonomic chairs generally allow the height and inclination of the headrest to be adjusted so that users can use it comfortably; however, the headrest of gaming chairs is generally connected to the back of the chair, and the degree of adjustment is relatively small.
A suitable chair will really improve work efficiency, so choosing a chair is particularly important. Everyone can choose according to their body shape and requirements. It is best to try it yourself before buying it.
