Comfort accessories
Gaming chair
While mobile gamers can game from anywhere, if you are a PC or console gamer playing from a monitor or television screen you will need a comfortable gaming chair at home.
One great option is the GTFORCE Pro Rs PC & Racing chair in pink, it declines to 170 degrees and supports you with four-way cushioned armrests. To provide comfort for long gaming sessions there is a bucket-style seat and matching neck pillow too.
Foot rest
Footrests are often forgotten about but are an important accessory for posture support. You could look for a chair with built in rest or opt for a separate item that fits under your desk. A box or cushion can be used temporarily but if you are sat for long periods, an adjustable rest can ensure you sit in a way that prevents injury or discomfort.
