Unlike some lower-end gaming chairs, we don’t feel like we’re “tight” here, even for a fairly heavy build. Comfort is also present thanks to the 3D armrests and the slightly raised mechanism.

Gaming chairs for short people, a complete guide to choosing the right one
When choosing a gaming chair, there are obviously criteria to check and if possible to respect. Playing on a chair usually involves long sessions lasting several hours. It will therefore be necessary to spare your back, your neck, your arms and your body which will thank you if you find them the perfect product for you. To help you, we have listed the important points for you when selecting a gaming chair.
Dimension, size and weight
Depending on your size and your build, it is obvious that not all armchairs will be designed for you. If you are 1m60 tall and weigh 45kg, you will swim in the big chairs, and vice versa. Gaming chairs for short people and tall people are easy to find now.
Materials and finish
There are different types of materials used for the manufacture of gaming chairs, especially in terms of the structure / frame and the coating. Each has its qualities and we will classify this together:
Frame
Steel: the most commonly used, this is the strongest material possible when choosing your gaming chair.
Plastic: less expensive, plastic is also used much less for the reinforcement, being more fragile than steel.
Coating
Fabric: Although sometimes less pretty than imitation leather, fabric has the undeniable advantage of letting the skin breathe and therefore being much more bearable when temperatures rise. The only flaw is that the fabric is obviously sensitive to stains.
Imitation leather (PU leather): This is the most common covering on gaming chairs. Its look and feel obviously depends on its quality, but when it is well thought out, the result can be very beautiful. Insensitive to stains, it nevertheless remains very easily stuck to the skin in summer.
Leather: Although very elegant and durable, leather is too expensive and above all very controversial.
Ergonomics and comfor
In terms of ergonomics, it is important to think about your body and listen to it. If you buy a gaming chair, it is to sit on it for several hours playing games and your body is not designed to do this on something uncomfortable. So make sure that the neck and back cushions are present, at the risk of hurting you in the long term.
Adjustable positions
Depending on your height and your desk, the adjustable positions will be very important. As a general rule, it’s a good idea to have your eyes level with the top of your screen to avoid having to look up. Likewise, it is your eyes that should go down and not your neck. For this, the gaming chairs are equipped with a jack allowing you to go up or down as you wish.
Castor quality
Some may think that the casters are not very important. But think again: Besides being loud when poor quality, casters can ruin an experience. If they get stuck, if they make tracks or if they are not able to roll on a carpet, it can be inconvenient. Likewise, casters are preferred, which do not roll when no one is on the chair, in order to prevent it from moving at the slightest contact.
Armrests
There are several types of armrests. The interest is obviously to find the position which will be the most comfortable in the game and, the more possibilities there are, the better. The different formats are presented below in order of preference:
4D: The best of the best armrests, they can be adjusted in height, depth, sideways and with a rotation system
3D: Adjustable in height, depth and sideways
2D: Adjustable in height and, depending on the model, in height OR in depth
1D: Only adjustable in height
