Although we all grew up believing that being an adult would solve all the problems we had as kids, unfortunately that wasn’t the case because adulthood comes with its own set of challenges. While you may now be able to afford one Xbox Xbox Xa PS5a Nintendo Switch And the games that come with it, all the free time you’ve had since has been replaced by other responsibilities like chores and home projects.
Even when you can find time to sit down and play that game you’ve dreamed of for ages, the adult in you knows your living room is a mess and could use a quick cleanup. After that is done, you can finally choose one of the The best Nintendo Switch consoles And prepare to make some serious progress on The Legend of Zelda: Kingdom’s Tears Only to realize that your console desperately needs a recharge. While you can play in handheld mode, you are meant to play this beautiful game on one of the The best televisions.
If your couch isn’t too far from your TV, you can plug in your console and play it for a few precious minutes before getting back to your busy day. Alternatively, you can sit on the floor and play like you did when you were a kid but looking at TV this way will now give you a pain in the neck. Besides dealing with game updates that come at the most inopportune time, getting comfortable quickly and moving on to the next gaming session is something many of us struggle with — especially those with young children.
I spent the last week testing Folding gaming chair ($169) Not only can it help with these issues, but it’s also easy to take with you anywhere you go. This way, you can set up and be ready to play before your favorite game finishes loading, whether you’re in the living room or spending some time in the great outdoors.
Solve the couch puzzle
If you haven’t heard of the folding gaming chair before, and you likely haven’t, it was created by a dad named François Robitaille who was having similar issues. Like me, me, and other parents, his playtime is now “significantly limited.”
Moreover, François lived in a small apartment where his sofa was too far away from his TV. After placing his kitchen chair near the TV, he tried a similar setup with one The best office chairs and even buy a gaming chair Designed for use on land, he decided he would have to build his own home. However, just like the other chairs François has tried, it needs to be easily moveable and stowable so that it can be tucked away when not in use. To that end, he tested over 100 folding chairs to find an existing one that met his criteria since trying to design one from scratch got expensive real fast.
The end result of François’ year-long journey was the Folding Gaming Chair ($134, tfgc). While at first glance it may look like an ordinary camping chair, its design has been tailored specifically to the needs of gamers. Not only does the chair have extra padding and can support up to 350 pounds, but it also features a headphone holder, controller stand, cup holder, and even a wine holder.
Since this is a portable gaming chair after all, the folding gaming chair comes with a carrying bag and there is a strap to compress it so it can easily fit in a bag. It can be set up in seconds and there are no extra pieces to misplace.
While I particularly like the large pocket on the right side of the folding gaming chair that can easily hold a console, Nintendo switch, or even a gaming chair steam surfaceThe foldable headphone stand is a nice touch. In fact, François designed it this way to make it less likely to break, especially during transportation.
Play comfortably wherever you want
Although I was skeptical about how comfortable a folding gaming chair would be, after I sat in it for the first time, I knew it was something special. It didn’t have the same firmness as a camping chair and it didn’t look out of place in my game room.
In fact, I left my folding gaming chair unattended for a few minutes only to come back to find my wife sitting in it working on her laptop with her feet propped up on a chair. It stayed like this for hours, leading me to believe that working in it is just as relaxing as playing in it.
Personally, I spent most of my time testing it playing New Xbox Series S In my office and on my Nintendo Switch in the game room. Although it’s designed to make it easier to sit closer to the TV than you would on a couch, I also found it very comfortable when used with one The best standing desks.
Since I recently got a fence and now have an actual backyard, I also took my folding gaming chair outside. It was easy to get a spot and it was nice to turn my toggle switch outside for a change. Since I was playing in handheld mode, I used the chair controller stand to store my phone so I could play without distraction.
The folding gaming chair cup holder was able to easily hold my water bottle, but I also wanted to test out its wine holder as well. After pouring myself a glass of red wine, I sat back in the chair and picked up where I left off. The wine holder did a great job holding my glass steady and the sturdiness of the chair itself reassured me that I wouldn’t be picking up broken pieces of glass from my new backyard anytime soon.
Always the best seat in the house
I know the idea of sitting on a folding gaming chair to play games on your TV may sound silly when there’s a perfectly fine sofa right behind you, but after testing it myself, I now feel like I understand François’ vision.
Maybe you’re a parent who only has a few hours to play each week, and cleaning up all the toys strewn about your living room just doesn’t make sense because they’ll magically find their way there the next day. With this foldable gaming chair, you just need to quickly unpack it, set it up and you’re good to go. Similarly, maybe you are a student living in your first dorm or apartment and having a sofa and proper home theater setup is out of the question due to budget constraints and space constraints.
I particularly like how you can play games on your TV with a wired controller without the need for a USB extension cable. Although most people now prefer wireless over wired controllers, being able to use one while sitting in front of the TV evokes a feeling of nostalgia and reminds me of how fun it was to play games this way when I was a kid.
Now that it’s summer, I’m planning to hit the road and besides more gadgets I’m likely to need, I’m also planning to bring my folding gaming chair with me to test it out on vacation but that’s a story for another day. For now, I can wholeheartedly say that I’ve been totally impressed with the time I’ve spent in this unique gaming chair so far and can’t wait to play more games while sitting in it.
