Learn from others’ mistakes when in the market for a gaming chair. These are our no-nos when buying one.

Buying a gaming chair presents some unique challenges. Some of those include the fact that, unlike a laptop, there are not a lot of specs to go on so you can’t upgrade in the same way. Instead of going from an 8 to 16 GB or an Intel Core i5 to an i7, upgrades come in the form of different materials such as leather or mesh and different add-ons such as a neck pillow. Those upgrades are not categorically better. They’re just a matter of preference that happen to be more expensive.

the first time around, and you don’t have to upgrade in six months when your lower back starts to hurt.Gamers are right to be weary of gaming peripherals. But, that skepticism often runs a bit too deep. Yes, the gamer tax exists to an extent. You pay a little more for gaming variants of headphones, mice, and keyboards. But, they also come with unique features that non-gaming versions typically don’t have. And, their core performance is often much better than many presume.

Your next best bet is reviews, forums, and online research. However, gaming chairs haven’t been around in large quantities for very long. And, well-known brands are few and far between with many of them, like Razer and Corsair, known more for other peripherals. But, there are many more unknown brands on Amazon and eBay that are much cheaper. In the end, a lot of people have tried out a lot of crappy chairs because they went cheap.

In the same vein, comfort is more than just getting the right size. Beyond the base comfort, there are certain factors that can enhance your sitting experience. Some models come with neck pillows. Most come with headrests. And, just about all the decent chairs come with some kind of lumbar support, which can take different forms such as an additional pillow to sit at the lower back or mesh stretched across an ergonomically molded backrest.
