About

Human-factors researcher turned gaming-chair tester. Builds repeatable protocols for long-session comfort and thermal regulation across diverse body types.

Core Beliefs

Your chair should redistribute load and heat so your focus outlasts the session.

Perspective

I favor flat or gently contoured seats with granular adjustments and breathable materials.

Gaming Chair Ergonomics: Spinal Alignment Guide

Use evidence-backed setup cues and time-based micro-adjustments - correct lumbar height/depth, hips above knees, and a 100–120° recline - to keep the spine aligned during multi-hour sessions while reducing muscle fatigue and heat buildup. Step-by-step measurements and quick self-checks personalize fit and reveal chairs that won’t hold up past hour three.
