Gaming chair

A gaming chair is a type of chair designed for the comfort of gamers.[1][2] They differ from most office chairs in having high backrest designed to support the upper back and shoulders.[3] They are also more customizable: the armrests, back, lumbar support and headrest can all be adjusted.[3]

History

The first gaming chairs were produced by DXRacer around 2006, a company that originally produced seats for sport cars. The gaming chair market grew with the advent of the live-streaming platform Twitch and the popularization of eSports.[1]
