Gaming chairs

Your PC is stacked. The monitor's dialled in. The headset's on point. But 6 hours into a gaming session and you're shifting around every 20 minutes, trying to find a position that doesn't make your back hate you. That's not gaming fatigue. That's a chair problem, and it's an easy one to fix.

At JB and on JB Marketplace, you’ll find gaming chairs from top brands and in every style you could want. You can check them out in-store at your nearest JB or browse a massive online-only range on JB Marketplace. So, however long your gaming sessions run, your back's about to have a much better time.

At JB and on JB Marketplace, you'll find four main types of gaming chairs. Racing and hardcore chairs for PC setups and eSports, ergonomic and hybrid chairs for gamers who spend as many hours working as they do playing, premium and XL chairs for anyone who's done settling for average, and floor chairs and bean bags for console gaming flat on your back in front of the TV.

Here's how they break down:

• Racing gaming chairs – Bucket seat, tall backrest, aggressive recline. This is the chair type at every serious eSports setup because it works. Most are wrapped in PU leather for durability and some pack RGB lighting if the full aesthetic is part of the plan.
• Ergonomic gaming chairs – Built to keep your posture sorted through a three-hour raid and a back-to-back work deadline. These gaming/office chair combos come in breathable mesh or fabric gaming chair builds so that long hours in-game stay comfortable.
• Premium, large and XL gaming chairs – More seat, better foam, a backrest that holds its shape past the point most chairs give up. These are high-end builds made for gamers who know exactly what they want in their workspace.
• Gaming floor chairs and bean bags – Low to the ground and built for console gaming in front of the TV. Reclining is basically the whole point. No desk, no problem.

Round out your setup with a memory foam lumbar pillow for lower back support or a neck pillow to keep things comfortable through longer sessions. Both chair accessories are small additions that your back will notice a lot sooner than you'd expect.

The best gaming chair for you comes down to how you play, how long you play and what your body needs to get through it. Good adjustability ties all of that together, from seat height to recline, armrests and headrest position. Get the ergonomic design dialled in, and your gaming experience will feel completely different from the first session.

Here's what to look for based on how you play:

• Serious PC gamer? Prioritise lumbar support and adjustable armrests and headrests that actually move where you need them. Smooth-rolling casters matter too.
• Console gamer? Swivel base and wide armrests matter more than caster type here. If you want room to shift around mid-session, a premium gaming chair with a footrest gives you that.
• Streamer or content creator? You're probably in that chair longer than anyone. Ergonomic build, proper lumbar support, a headrest that holds its position and adjustable armrests that keep your shoulders relaxed through long hours on stream.
• Casual gamer? No need to overcomplicate it. Decent back support, a comfortable seat and enough adjustability to dial in the fit. That covers most console and PC gaming sessions without any of the fuss.
