This guide is a must for when you are either having an at home workspace or a gaming setup. The main difference between the two is just what functionality you chose for your specific setup. Every item we will discuss has helped improve my setup as well as many others that have followed this critical tips into improving your setup so you can game or be as productive as much as possible. For me I chose a hybrid approach that fits both gaming and work from home office styles.
1. Select a Chair That Will Fit Your Needs
The very first step that I recommend is getting a chair that fits to exactly what you need it for. With chairs there are multiple types and have different materials that are made to help when you are sitting down for certain periods of time. You will need to find a chair that will comfortable and practical for how long you will be sitting down. Some chairs are only meant for a few hours at a time gaming chairs, everyday chairs, and leather chairs. These usually are pretty comfortable for what you need but will not support your body alignment for hours at a time. These chairs are fantastic if you do not work at home but do homework or gaming on the side and moderate computer use. Some gaming chairs do fit in other categories that help support for longer periods of time but that is when the price goes up. Most of the time with chairs the more supportive and features they have the more expensive they are. The other side of the spectrum of chairs is the all day chairs that stay cool, offer breathability, support your lumbar much better with much more features but you are looking at a more premium price due to them having to use higher materials. The typical material you will find with this type of chair is mesh or a similar material with high density foam or a tension mesh material. I love using my mesh chair for work from home but it is not as comfortable as a gaming chair for when I am playing video games. That being said if you work from home I would not recommend most gaming chairs and suggest an all day use chair.
2. Having a Spacious and Functional desk
Having a spacious and functional desk is one of the most important as anything else.
