Gaming Chairs Provide Maximum Comfort and High-Tech Style

Gaming chairs have become increasingly common in recent years, their popularity rising along with platforms like Twitch where anyone can live stream their gaming for all to see. Designed to support your neck and back during lengthy gaming sessions, these chairs take their aesthetic cues from race car seats, so in addition to being ergonomically designed to provide hours of comfort, they just look cool. Some gaming chairs even have headrests with built-in speakers that provide your own personal surround sound.

The Details

Gaming chairs can be broken down into two main categories - those that closely resemble office chairs and are designed for computer gaming at a desk and those that look more like loungers and are meant for use when gaming on a platform system like Xbox or PlayStation. Which type of chair you choose will depend on the type of games you play most frequently and whether or not your gaming chair will do double duty as a desk chair or a place to read and watch TV. If you are looking for a chair that can also serve as a place to sit while studying or doing homework, you'll want to opt for one that is elevated off the ground and features a high back and armrests. If you want a chair that works for an epic gaming session as well as a movie marathon, you may prefer one of the low-to-the-ground rockers. Here are a few of the gaming chairs in the Pottery Barn Teen Canada collection:

• X Rocker Rogue Audio Office Chair - This adjustable height leather chair sits atop a rolling, swivel base and features a 2.0 Bluetooth audio system with an adapter and two speakers.
• X Rocker Lux 2.0 Black/Gold Gaming Chair - Thanks to a wooden frame that rocks with you, a padded leather seat that keeps you low to the ground and speakers that are built in to the quilted headrest, this gaming chair makes you feel like you're in the middle of the action.
• X Rocker Pro Series+ 2.1 Audio Pedestal Black Gaming Chair - Take your gaming to the next level with a chair that syncs with your game system, features built-in sound and a vibration motor that provides a double-body, completely immersive experience.

Complete the Look

Once you've picked out the perfect gaming chair for your space, you'll want to make sure you have everything else you need to create the perfect tween or teen sanctuary. LED lighting creates a playful ambiance and a collection of rec room type games like Connect Four or a magnetic dartboard serve as decor and entertainment. If there's room to spare, you might even consider a game table to encourage a little friendly, offline competition.
