Gaming chair

Black and red PC gaming chair

A gaming chair is a type of chair marketed towards gamers.[1][2] They differ from most office chairs in having high backrest designed to support the upper back and shoulders.[3] Like many office chairs, they are customizable: the armrests, back, lumbar support and headrest can all be adjusted for comfort and efficiency.[3] However, there are criticisms of gaming chairs. For example, they tend to be designed and marketed primarily for aesthetics at the expense of having worse ergonomics than modern office chairs.[4]
