In the best gaming chairs, performance is key; the right gaming chair will not only provide you the comfort and support you need to play for long hours but also enhance your performance in your games of choice. As with choosing an office chair, ergonomic design will play a central role in determining the best gaming chair for your setup and physical needs.
In July 2020, the partnership between Herman Miller and Logitech G launched Embody, the world’s first health positive and high-performance gaming chair. After listening and learning, they came together to deliver a versatile gaming chair range. By combining Herman Miller’s deep knowledge of seating and ergonomics with Logitech G’s understanding and expertise in gaming, the two companies are committed to building the next generation of versatile gaming furniture that players need to perform and play longer and better.
The first element to consider when choosing the best chair for your gaming setup is lumbar support. Back pain is one of the most pervasive physical detriments of choosing the wrong computer gaming chair; a PC gaming chair without proper lumbar support can negatively impact your performance in the short and long term. The best gaming chairs for back pain have ergonomically designed seat backs or lumbar pillows that support the curve of your lower spine to alleviate and prevent back pain.
The best ergonomic gaming chairs also have other thoughtful, comfort-forward features designed to relieve your joints and promote better posture, including adjustable tilt, adjustable arms, and headrests. Opt for breathable mesh gaming chairs or chairs filled with cooling foam to keep cool. The most comfortable gaming chair will support you in and out of play, for example, reclining gaming chairs allow you to lean back and relax, taking more pressure off your joints and muscles regardless of your activity.

- Enhanced Gaming Seat – Gamers tend to sit in a more upright position than office workers. To support this active posture, the Embody Gaming Chair includes an extra layer of foam in the seat.
- Cooling Foam – Copper-fused cooling foam technology prevents heat buildup, keeping you comfortable for long gaming sessions.
- PostureFit Spinal Support – Your strongest posture is when standing, with an open chest and a slightly forward-tilted pelvis. The PostureFit device mimics this position by supporting the spine at its lowest point, the sacrum, while providing lumbar support.
- BackFit Adjustment – Sitting for long periods can cause the spine to curve unnaturally. The BackFit adjustment aligns with your spine’s natural shape, helping you maintain a neutral posture.
- Even Pressure Distribution – The seat and back adjust to your body’s micro-movements, distributing weight evenly and improving circulation to reduce fatigue.
