Gaming Chairs With Real Adjustment
Gaming chairs started as racing-seat copies with bolstered sides and a pillow strapped to the back, which looked the part and did little for anyone sitting eight hours at a desk. The category has grown up. Several brands now ship magnetic headrests, built-in adjustable lumbar, cold-cure foam and seats wide enough to sit cross-legged, and a few established office makers have built gaming lines of their own. Watch for side bolsters that pin the thighs, fixed pillows standing in for adjustment, and faux leather that cracks. This category lists the companies whose gaming chairs hold up as desk seating, not just as styling.
