Pre-order your chair for just €1

The choice of chair may seem trivial, but for those who spend long hours sitting down, whether to work or play, it makes all the difference.

Two main categories dominate the market :

  • Gaming chairs
  • Office chairs.

So what are the main differences between these two types of chair ?

Which one is best suited to your needs ? We'll go into more detail in this article.

Design and aesthetics

One of the most striking differences between a gaming chair and an office chair is their appearance. Gaming chairs often have a design inspired by racing car seats, with bright colours, bold shapes and imposing armrests. In comparison, office chairs are more sober and discreet, often in black or grey, to blend easily into a professional environment.

Models like the TGIF T0 combine sporty aesthetics with premium materials, while the TGIF ACE offers a sleeker design that may also be suitable for a professional office.

Ergonomics and comfort

Comfort is paramount, whether you're gaming or working. Gaming chairs are designed to offer maximum support during long sessions. They are equipped with lumbar and cervical cushions, and can be tilted up to 180° for optimum relaxation.

Office chairs, although less geared towards the immersive experience of gaming, focus on ergonomics. They offer good back support and adjustments adapted to an optimal working posture.

Materials and durability

Gaming chairs often use synthetic leather (PU) with high-density foam for lasting comfort. Office chairs sometimes prefer fabric or mesh for better breathability, especially in a professional environment.

Models such as the TGIF T0 use memory foam and quality PU leather to combine aesthetics and durability, while the TGIF ACE has an upholstery more suited to long working hours.

Features and adjustments

Gaming chairs are often more customisable :

  • Tilt up to 180
  • Adjustable 4D armrests
  • Retractable footrest
  • Advancedn tilt mechanisms

Office chairs, on the other hand, focus more on simpler but effective settings: adjustable height, reinforced lumbar support and sometimes a limited tilt.

Price and value for money

Gaming chairs are often more expensive because of their design and multiple adjustments. However, for those looking for a versatile chair for both gaming and working, the investment may be well worth it.

Office chairs, on the other hand, offer more affordable options, but may lack some advanced comfort features.

Conclusion

The choice between a gaming chair and an office chair depends on your needs. If you spend a lot of time gaming and want an immersive, comfortable chair, then a gaming chair like the TGIF T0 is an excellent option. If you're looking for a sober, ergonomic and functional chair for a working environment, then a more classic model like the TGIF ACE might suit you better.

In all cases, ergonomics should be your main criterion to ensure optimum comfort and protect your health in the long term. So, gaming chair or office chair ? The choice depends on your priorities !

Product Questions

What is the difference between the T0 and the ACE?

The TGIF T0 is our flagship ergonomic chair, designed to offer exceptional support, adaptability, and long-term comfort.. Equipped with our patented dynamic seat-back sync, it follows the natural movement of your spine and delivers continuous lumbar support, thanks to its dual lumbar system. Its pressure-relieved seat cushion, Mecha-Wing backrest, and 3D adjustable armrests make it ideal for intense work or gaming sessions.

The ACE Series, on the other hand, builds upon the T0’s foundation and adds premium customizability. It includes an adaptive independent lumbar support system, a holographic cicada wing backrest for enhanced airflow and visual impact, and is available with either 3D or 6D robotic armrests for even finer adjustments. The ACE Home model also features a hidden retractable leg rest, allowing you to kick back and relax between games or tasks.

Are the armrests and backrest adjustable?

  • Pressure-Relief Seat Padding : Ensures all-day comfort, preventing discomfort from extended sitting.
  • Adaptive Recline (140°) : Allows you to switch between work mode and relaxation effortlessly.
  • Adjustable Armrests (3D for T0 and 3D or 6D depending on the model you choose for ACE) : Helps reduce wrist and shoulder strain.

Why They’re Great for Tall Users:

  • High Backrest : Supports the entire spine, including the head and neck
  • Spacious Seat Base : Provides ample room for comfortable movement.
  • Adjustable Seat Height : Allows tall users to find their ideal ergonomic position.
  • Reclining Backrest (140°) : Ensures relaxation and customizable sitting angles.

Are there any accessories available to customize my chair?

TGIF gaming chairs come equipped with several built-in features designed to enhance your comfort and gaming experience. While there isn't a separate line of accessories for customization, the chairs themselves offer :

  • Dynamic Seat-Back Sync Technology : Ensures reliable lumbar support, balancing health and comfort whether sitting upright or reclining.
  • Wrap-around Dual-Lumbar Support : Provides optimal support for the lumbar spine and lower back muscles.
  • Pressure-Relief Seat : Features a dual-softness foam cushion that adapts to the hip and thigh, offering stable seating and preventing soreness.
  • Breathable Mesh Fabric : The Wintex Mesh Fabric offers elastomeric resilience, relieving pressure points and enhancing circulation. Its breathable design ensures coolness, outperforming traditional materials.
  • Lockable Reclining Position : Allows you to reach any desired angle from 105°-140°, then locks into place with one flip to four different recline angles.

These integrated features are designed to provide a customizable and comfortable seating experience without the need for additional accessories.

Why can’t I recline immediately after pulling the backrest adjustment lever?

This is due to the back pressure unlocking mechanism. To prevent sudden movement, you need to lean back slightly after unlocking the backrest.

Why is the lumbar support on the TGIF T0 non-adjustable?

The Dynamic Seat-Back Sync™ mechanism automatically adjusts to your posture, providing continuous lumbar support without requiring manual adjustments. This ensures better lower back comfort than traditional adjustable lumbar supports.
