What material is best to choose for a gaming chair? Pu leather or technical cloth?
The PU leather or technical cloth fabrics of gaming chairs each have their own advantages and disadvantages, and there is no way to say which one is better. They can all be called synthetic fabrics, and their advantages and disadvantages are all benefited from or limited by the characteristics of their own synthetic processes. PU leather. The current PU leather is basically the third generation of artificial leather. Various processing technologies such as slurry impregnation, composite surface layer, and superfiber covering are used (the quality of the fabric is positively related to the synthetic materials). Even many PU leathers are now used. The leather is better than real leather in terms of luster, softness, and wear resistance. Many luxury bags will also use PU leather in areas that are prone to wear. However, low-quality PU leather also has various shortcomings. Let's take a closer look at the advantages and disadvantages of using it on gaming chairs: First, let's talk about the advantages of being waterproof and anti-fouling. Oil and dust are stuck to the surface, and it can basically be wiped clean; It is tough, because the composite surface layer and microfiber mesh are added, the toughness will be much stronger; the texture is high-end, with the same luster as genuine leather, and does not require regular maintenance; the texture is soft, which is also the characteristic of genuine leather, and it feels good; besides, The disadvantage is that it is not breathable. PU leather cannot simulate the breathable micropores of genuine leather. It will easily become stuffy and cover you with sweat after sitting for a long time (good PU can also penetrate holes, but it is more expensive). The skin will peel off. The surface imitates the glossy coating of genuine leather, which will easily change over time. Brittle and falling off; compared with technical cloth, it requires maintenance, and long-term exposure to the sun in summer accelerates the aging of the coating (but this can be avoided with a little attention)
Technical cloth Technical cloth is still cloth in essence, but it is synthesized by superimposing several fabrics. This is why it is also called synthetic leather. Usually the bottom layer is made of non-woven fabric, combined with a waterproof layer/breathable layer fabric and a surface soft layer fabric. From a certain perspective, it can be infinitely superimposed and synthesized according to needs.
Advantages: Breathable, compared to PU leather, it has more micropores, so it won't get stuffy after sitting for a long time; it is skin-friendly, and the surface is soft. Most of them use a micro-sanding process (refer to fabric sofas) for a better touch. You can sit directly on it whether it is summer or winter. , while PU leather absorbs heat in summer and is cold in winter ~ Disadvantages: It is not easy to clean, dust and debris are okay, if it is contaminated with oil, etc., it will take more effort to clean; the texture is slightly worse, compared to PU leather, it lacks some e-sports The atmosphere of the chair, but this point is a matter of opinion; whether it is PU leather or technical fabric, it still needs to be cheap and easy to sit on. What this thing needs is cost-effectiveness. I recommend the Suyi Gaming Chair, which is available in both fabrics and sells for about 6 Around a hundred, which is quite reliable.
