Criteria for choosing a gaming chair
Perhaps it will not be a revelation to anyone thatWhen purchasing a chair, the average user looks first of all at the appearance and weight that it can withstand. But, in fact, there are much more important characteristics. Some of them are quite obvious and understandable. And only experienced users who have purposefully studied this issue know about this part. Yes, the visual part is important, but what if your favorite beautiful chair falls apart after a few months? Or will the upholstery begin to peel off on it and it will no longer be so pleasing to the eye? And you should understand that if the chair is “gaming” - this is not a guarantee that it will be comfortable. Now more specific. The main criteria that you should pay attention to when choosing a chair:frame and maximum load, dimensions, upholstery material, filler, base structure and material, wheel diameter and coating, adjustment possibilities, ergonomics... We will dwell on all these characteristics and tell in more detail what is what and what features are the most important.
Frame material and maximum load
The frame of any gaming chair is made ofsteel pipe. But, in addition to the quality of the steel itself, the characteristics of this pipe and the manufacturing process itself differ. In the most budgetary models, a pipe with a diameter of 15 mm can be used. But the overwhelming majority is made using a pipe with a diameter of 17 mm. This is the bulk of the more or less debt-backed gaming chairs on the market. They can generally withstand loads of up to 150 kg. In top-end solutions, the frame is made of a steel pipe 2 mm thick and 22 mm in diameter. Such models are more durable and can withstand up to 200 kg. As far as the manufacturing process is concerned, the frame can be assembled together by welding the individual parts. Or a single piece of pipe is used, which is bent along its entire length to obtain the desired shape. This design is devoid of welding seams and is more reliable and durable.
By the chairAnda Seat Kaiser 2TitanSteelAD+ frame is made of steelpipes with a diameter of 22 mm and a thickness of 2 mm. During production, the pipe is bent along the entire length of the structure, due to which the frame does not have welding seams. The chair can withstand an impressive load of up to 200 kg.
Chair size is important

Determine the required maximum loadon a chair is very important. But it is equally important to find the right size. And with this the situation is more complicated. Each chair is optimally suited to a certain height and body composition. The height and width of the backrest, the width and depth of the seat, the distance between the armrests, their height from the floor and so on may differ from model to model. All these dimensions directly affect how comfortable a particular person will be in a given chair. Manufacturers usually indicate all of these dimensions in their model specifications. But, unfortunately, this does not help. In this case, before buying, you should find the model you are interested in in an offline store and sit on it in order to understand whether it will be convenient. There are no other options. Most manufacturers ship their models in a single size. So if the size does not fit, you should look for something else. But there is also another approach. All armchairs of the Anda Seat brand are available in three sizes, which are marked with the designations M, L and XL that are familiar to us from clothes. So if you really like the model, you can choose the right size.
In the modelAnda Seat T-Pro 2back width at shoulders - 60.5 cm, distancebetween the armrests - 73-75.5 cm, width of the seat base from the inside - 42 cm, width of the seat base with the sides - 58 cm, sideways adjustment of the armrest - 2.5 cm, wheelbase diameter - 76 cm, back length - 87 cm, armrest height adjustment - 9 cm, height from floor to armrest - 63.5-78 cm, seat depth 54 cm, height from floor to base of seat 49-56 cm. The company claims that the chair is suitable for tall people up to 2 m 10 cm, can withstand 200 kg.
What can be the material of the upholstery
The upholstery of the armchairs is getting more interesting and varied.There are several basic options that are used in the vast majority of models. The most common option is artificial leather. But it can also be different. As for the manufacturing technology and materials used for production. By its properties, it resembles natural, while significantly cheaper. Cheap faux leather options used in budget models wear out quickly, fray and can crack after exposure to high or low temperatures. More expensive models use better materials. For example, in Anda Seat armchairs it is DuraXtra AD + Leather of our own design and production. This artificial leather is resistant to mechanical damage, stains of dirt, remains elastic and durable for a long time. And it's easy to clean.

Now let's move on to the second option.There are chairs with fabric upholstery. Again, it comes in a variety of qualities and cheap options tend to rip and rub quickly. In more expensive armchairs, linen is actively used. It is very wear-resistant and perfectly breathable, so it is comfortable to sit in such an armchair for hours, even in summer. Such fabric looks very aesthetically pleasing, and it is pleasant to the touch. But it has its drawbacks. First, it is more demanding in terms of care. And secondly, stains will remain on it. Spilled soda can be easily wiped off the faux leather and will leave a stain on the linen fabric. Well, the most expensive upholstery option is, of course, genuine leather. It is already used in the most top-end models.
Anda Seat is available in a variety of upholstery options, including faux leather, linen and genuine Napa leather, similar to the leather interiors of luxury cars. One of the most popular modelsAnda Seat T-Pro 2available in different colors, both with artificial leather and linen upholstery.
Chair filler
It depends on the filler used in the chair.ease of use and durability. More affordable chairs usually use foam rubber and similar materials as filling. They are really very inexpensive, but have a lot of disadvantages. In particular, such a filler is very short-lived, is easily pressed and quickly “falls”. A more expensive, but much more comfortable and durable option is memory foam. Similar materials are used in orthopedic mattresses, pillows, and also ear pads of not the cheapest headphones. This filler easily takes the desired shape and then returns to its original state. Such foam is poured in liquid form into a workpiece of the desired design, where it already takes the desired shape and condition.
All Anda Seat uses durable one-component foam with a density of 60 kg / m³
Base design and material, wheel diameter and coating
The base of the chair, depending on the class andcost, can be made of either plastic or metal. Mostly aluminum. Of course, the metal base is more reliable and durable and can withstand heavy loads. In some of the chairs. Anda Seat, in particular, uses aluminum bases with additional stiffening ribs to increase reliability. The wheels can also be used differently. In budget models, these are usually unpretentious small-diameter plastic wheels. They have a number of disadvantages. They are not very durable, they are very noisy and spoil the floor. This is especially unpleasant if the room has an expensive laminate or parquet floor. More expensive armchairs use larger diameter wheels made of better materials and with a rubberized coating to prevent the appearance of marks of use on the floor. Anda Seat uses polyurethane rubberized wheels with a diameter of 60-75 mm for quiet and comfortable movement on various surfaces.

Adjustment possibilities, ergonomics

The comfort of the chair and the absence of back pain dependsnot only from the filler, upholstery and correctly selected size. The correct position of your back on it is extremely important. It is for this purpose that all (or almost all) chairs come with two pillows: one under the lower back, the second under the neck. They just help keep the spine in the correct position. The sizes and position of these pillows are also very individual and it is impossible to understand from a distance whether they are suitable or not. In terms of chair adjustments, everything is simpler and clearer. Each model has its own back angle, in some cases it allows you to literally lie horizontally and relax or even take a nap. The swing mechanism, depending on its design, allows you to deviate at different angles. Simple models use a simple butterfly mechanism. It is quite rigid and usually allows you to deviate by no more than 5°. More advanced models use a different mechanism, where the angle can be up to 30°, and the operation of the mechanism itself is smoother. The gas lift is responsible for raising the chair. They are divided into classes from 1 to 4. They differ in wall thickness and weight that they can withstand. Class 4 is the most durable and can withstand 200 kg. Class 3 - up to 150 kg, 2 - up to 100 kg, and 1 - up to 80 kg. The armrests are also different, with a different set of adjustments. The minimum is height and angle. Such adjustment options are available in budget chairs. More expensive ones add the ability to move the armrests back and forth and left and right. Such armrests are called 4D.

The backrest tilts from 90° to 160° with locking in any position. 4D armrest: forward-backward, up-down, left-right and tilt. The wheels have a diameter of 60 mm for silent and comfortable movement on various surfaces; single-component foam 65 kg/m³ is used as a filler.
