These days people are shouting and screaming about new found ways of gaming. We have wands, cameras, nunchuks and fitness packs all attempting to get us out of our seats and jumping around the room like idiots. This is all good fun and a few burned calories definitely wouldn’t kill most of us… but what happens when you just want to kick back, relax and game in comfort? Well, we think we may have an answer for you!
This week we have been sent a gaming chair from the lovely guys at i-eX gaming – and boy has this had some rigorous testing. This chair is worlds apart from others we have seen, used and tested. There are no built in speakers, no awkward wires or gimmicks, with the focus being put entirely on its comfort and support.
When we unboxed the product our first impressions were very positive. The chair is essentially a superior quality bean-filled design with a stylish leather finish. The one we received has a nice silver lining with a pretty cool looking silver i-eX logo across the base. There is the option of a stylish lime green also available as shown in the provided pictures.
The size of the chair immediately stood out – it’s huge. At almost a meter in height with an 85cm base, it towers above most other gaming chairs and certainly appears to have achieved its “man-sized-comfort”. Rather surprisingly though, it weighs around 5-6kg and as such it can easily be moved around your living room/bedroom/man-cave with very little effort.
The stitching and panels give the chair a nice structure, with an incredibly comfy bucket seat that will keep you supported throughout the longest of gaming sessions. The bean filled design comes into its own and after your first few times using the chair; you will find it shapes itself around you for even more support.
This chair has been used for a week solid by several of us here at Blue Sky and we all love it. All of our gaming and even some of our product testing has been done whilst in the comfort of the chair and it certainly appears very well stitched and incredibly durable. This is not your average beanbag chair, the attention to ergonomics is fantastic and it has obviously been crafted with the intention of spending long periods gaming.
To summarize, it’s not very often I steer people away gadgets and technology, but the lack of whistles and bells on this chair is definitely made up for in its design.
The chair is priced at £99.99 and can be purchased from Bean Bag Bazaar at the following link:
