Bean Bags Are Becoming More Popular For Gamers

Immersing yourself in a video game is a rewarding experience that can lead to hours upon hours of being sat down with little to no breaks. That is why gaming chairs have become more and more popular. However, bean bags have become the better option for gamers where the adapted office chair was used before. 

Lewis Jordan of Redstone Search commented: “We are seeing all types of people, from those working in startups and technology to the likes of recruitment consultants and those working in private banking and more corporate jobs. This is likely a result of functionality and comfort-trumping appearances. Ultimately, it isn’t necessarily a bad thing if people can work better while on a bean bag.”

It combines comfort and ergonomics to ensure the players sit comfortably when gaming for several hours. In contrast to traditional gaming chairs, bean bags are made of polystyrene or foam beads instead of the usual fabric used to make conventional office chairs. As such, the gamer can relieve back pain, a problem that arises from sitting for hours.

What are the benefits of using a bean bag for work and gaming?

Bean bags have become a staple of the avid gamer’s setup. These bean bags have been designed specifically for gamers. However, recently, with working from home becoming more prevalent than ever, it is not just gamers utilizing bean bags for daily use.

1. Multipurpose 

Investing in an ergonomic chair for console gaming is excellent, but it can also be a great choice for other areas of your life. Whether you need to work from home or want to watch a movie at your desk, an ergonomic chair can make many experiences more comfortable and enjoyable.

2. Lots of options 

A bean bag can come in many sizes to fit the user and have different colors to suit a room’s décor. This means that whether a company is a startup or something else, a bean bag can match the company’s appearance. On top of this, they can come in easy-to-clean leather covers or covers that can easily be removed and washed.

3. Cost 

For many gaming chairs, prices can go up to and beyond £100, whereas the bean bag alternative can be found for as low as £30.

4. Improve your gameplay 

Studies have shown that ergonomic seating can boost productivity and improve focus. It is certainly possible that the right seat could do the same for you and your in-game performance. 

5. Improved support 

A bean bag chair is a much more comfortable option for people with back issues such as scoliosis. The chair distributes body weight evenly across both sides, reducing the pressure points in the back. On top of this, the bean bag supports the entire spine and the neck.

6. Stand taller and feel more confident 

Once you start using an ergonomic chair or bean bag regularly, you may see an improvement in your posture when you stand. Sitting in an ergonomic chair can help train your neck, back, and shoulders to stand straight, reducing the urge to slouch. 

Due to there being no rigid curve in the bean bag design, the occupant is less tempted to slouch. Walking taller can do wonders for your confidence and help you to appear taller and more outgoing. 

7. Better gaming experience 

An ergonomic chair will not just protect your back and neck, it will make your gaming experience better. Being more comfortable and relaxed is a big plus in gaming. 

Gaming is supposed to be a pleasurable experience. Still, if you constantly have to adjust your position or feel discomfort in your back, that will not make for an enjoyable experience. An ergonomic chair can allow you to game comfortably and focus on what is important — your game.
