Hi :)
I try to play lying down. But that's if I have only one table left. If I play more than one, I play sitting in a chair. My back hurts sometimes, but that's not because of the chair, it's because of my age and the not-so-healthy lifestyle I lead :)

Yes , a good comfortable chair is very important in especially in long sessions .
It's like a comfortable mattress where we stay 1/3 of our life

I think there is no need just gaming chair. Chair is important thing for your back, but most important is what you eat and how much you have physical activity.😎

One thing I've noticed about professional gamers' streams is that they all use gaming chairs. I haven't had the chance to use one, but they're certainly very comfortable.

Different people like different chairs. Some people find the new chairs comfortable, other people find they don't provide enough support for your back and prefer the old school chairs.

Absolutely, gotta be comfortable if you're playing long sessions. If you're playing short sessions it probably doesn't matter as much

a chair that makes you feel comfortable for long hours and the ideal does not need to be a gamer chair, it can be a normal but comfortable one

Yeah, definitely. When you're grinding for hours, comfort matters just as much as focus. A good chair saves your back in the long run."
Amuzant:
If your chair tilts at the wrong time, you might fold pocket aces by accident.

A comfortable chair is important everywhere – whether you're playing poker, working, or just spending your free time at the computer. The more comfortable the chair, the easier it is to focus and concentrate on what’s happening on the screen, rather than being distracted by discomfort or constantly thinking about how to change your sitting position. That’s why having a good, ergonomic chair is essential – it directly affects your ability to stay focused and feel good, no matter what you're doing.

Also recommend a electric controlled sit/ standing desk. Really great to stand for a bit when in an 8 hours session.
