Which filler is the best for gaming chairs?

Due to the predominantly sedentary way of life, the theme of preservation the health of the spine becomes more relevant than ever before. Gaming chairs did not become outsiders in this regard - there are used advanced developments in the field of orthopedic furniture. These models are designed taking into account rather large loads, they are resistant to wear and can serve for years.

At the time of purchase, the user pays attention to the appearance, sometimes completely ignoring the important nuances, namely - what's inside there? The filler of the gaming chair is very important, as its top coating, because it is responsible for supporting your back and the comfort of staying in it. Let's try to find out together which internal filling is better and more durable.

Types of fillers for gaming chairs:

The spring unit, complete with a fluff or horsehair, is a very expensive type, since the production process is quite labor-intensive, because in order to make it, the wire bends into the spring, and then interlaced, forming a frame. Hair or fluff winding in the layers that cover the block. The price of such a filler can be several thousand dollars, so it is installed only in very expensive models of armchairs;
Foam rubber is a rather obsolete type, used previously for furniture production. Despite the high degree of air permeability, it quickly loses its shape and sinks down. All because of its porous air structure, which quickly makes it unfit for long-term use. In addition, it is very soft, therefore for orthopedic furniture is completely inappropriate. Occurs sometimes in very budget models of game chairs, the term of its usage - about a year;
Sintepon - one of the modern materials, it is very elastic and flexible, does not absorb moisture, breathes well, does not lose elasticity for a long time. Since the layers of sintepon are quite thin, they are usually stacked in several layers;

Holofayber (other commercial names - britfil, faiberform) - its distinctive feature is a peculiar structure of filaments that look like spirals. It is a substitute for natural fluff. It perfectly holds the shape, quickly restoring it. In addition, the Holofayber is breathable. In the chairs, it can found not so common, because it used mainly when sewing winter clothes - coats and jackets. The only drawback - it cannot be washed in the washing machine, because the reflection knocks it into balls, which is then very difficult to divide. The only decision in this case - chemical cleaning with steaming;
Durafil - one of the modern developments made of polyester fibers. However, it does not use as a furniture filler, although it has many advantages: biological neutrality, hypoallergenicity, moisture resistance, and incombustibility. Excellent spring, after the cessation of the load immediately returns the original form;
Polyurethane foam - today the most perfect type of filling, which has no analogues. It differs by strength, durability, elasticity, fast return of the primary form. In addition, due to its high density, perfectly supports the spine and massively used in the manufacture of orthopedic furniture. Polyurethane foam is a foamed material, which main characteristics are: hypoallergenicity, hygroscopicity, absence of foreign smells and even environmental friendliness.

High-quality gaming chairs are mostly foamed polyurethane foam (for example, Hator, GT Racer) in the form of a filler. However, some nameless manufacturers can construct and install poor-quality PPUs inside. It has a lower density. Check it out quite easily - just sit in such an armchair for a few minutes, then stand up. In addition, watch how fast the seat will recover its shape. High-quality high-density polyurethane foam is restored within a few seconds. However, to return the form of a less dense PPU, it will take several minutes. Before buying it is necessary to pay attention to such small, it would seem, nuances, because it directly depends not only on the durability of the chosen model, but also of your good posture.
