I'm interested in the chair as its actually a different design than most of what's out there now. The vast majority of them are one of three designs.

I can't stand chairs with bolsters.

That chair looks uncomfortable just looking at it. Me being a bigger guy would not want something with that high of sides/bolsters on the seat area. I just picked up a Respawn Spire Ghost chair, and besides me removing the uncomfortable headrest the chair is very good.

The color alone gives me stomach cramps.

I just......what purpose do all those bolsters serve on a computer chair?

I'm not a big person, so they don't interfere with my body width. But, seriously, are people falling out of their chairs while gaming? I get pretty drunk while gaming sometimes and have never fallen out of my chair.

 

[Peter_Brosdahl]

Me neither. Only recently quit drinking but I've had my share of binges while gaming and no, not once has that happened.

Unless it has a mount point for some sort of sim rig that moves the chair around... it's useless

Not gonna lie - I have no idea what a bolster is on a chair. Even googling it - best I could see is a butt cushion?

I don't either, but from conversation context I presume it to be the wings on the seat and back. I feel like an old fekker and remember when we chopped down the tree to make a stump to sit on. All these new fangled terms ... bolster!

That's precisely what bolsters are. You see them in high performance cars. They're designed to keep you in place, from sliding all over and out of the seat while cornering hard.

Can't say I've ever experienced lateral forces while gaming.

Sometimes with extreme gaming, the virtual g-forces can make you fall outta your chair. If you are playing racing games or flight combat games, a chair with bolsters is basically required.

As a car enthusiast I've been hearing talk about seat bosters for decades (mainly side bolsters) when it comes to performance vehicles.

Yeah, exactly. What he said.

Then you haven't been gaming hard enough my friend. I'm talking about EXTREEEEEEEME gaming. When you and the game become one, what happens in game will affect you in real life. Someone didn't pay enough attention in his college Psychological Physics class!

I was also thinking it could happen with some of those other special games that are mostly only found on Steam. You know, the kind that could really affect you in real life should a girlfriend/wife/partner catch you playing.

A high back thick chair may come in handy for those situations as the back of your head maybe an easy target, and then those bolsters would hold you in place so you don't fall out of the chair should a lucky strike occur.
