Gaming Chair Posture Guide

Enter your height and monitor size to get personalized recommendations for seat height, eye level, monitor position, viewing distance, and backrest angle.

Calculation Basis

Seat Height: height × 0.26 (feet flat on the floor)
Eye Level: height × 0.53 (eye position when seated)
Monitor Distance: screen diagonal (cm) × 1.5–2.5
Backrest: 100–110° minimizes lumbar disc pressure

Position the monitor center 3–5 cm below eye level to reduce neck fatigue. Keep elbows level with the desk surface for neutral wrist posture.

FAQ

Should the backrest be straight at 90°?

No — 100–110° is better. A perfectly vertical backrest increases lumbar disc pressure rather than reducing it.

What happens if the monitor is too low?

Consistently bending your neck downward causes tech neck and shoulder/neck pain. Keep the monitor near eye level or slightly below.

What's the most important posture habit?

Standing up every 1–2 hours is more important than any single posture setting. Any fixed position becomes harmful over extended time.
