Gaming has exploded in popularity over the past few years. Playing computer games is no longer something that you just do at home on your own, there are whole tournaments dedicated to games! It’s a lot of fun for many, and hours can be spent losing yourself in a whole new gaming world or trying to beat your own high score. 

Although playing a game for hours is a lot of fun, it can cause some health problems if you don’t have the proper gaming room accessories. In order to have the most enjoyable experience while playing, you need to have accessories that not only support your gaming, but enhance it.

Gaming is so much more than sitting in front of a screen with your console and playing a few games. It’s a fun experience that can be further enhanced by gaming accessories. There are a few gaming accessories that you absolutely need to have in your gaming setup:

- Gaming desk
- Gaming chair
- Gaming headset
- Gaming keyboard
- Gaming mouse
- Gaming monitor

We have handpicked the best gaming accessories for you to take your gaming to the next level!

There are some obvious gaming accessories that you need like a desk and a chair. There are other accessories that you may not have even thought of that will create a game changing experience for you.

The X Rocker Cosmos Single Bed (£349.99) is designed for gamers, and you need it in your bedroom. This bed has LED lights included in it to create the perfect gaming atmosphere. It also has an ottoman feature, so you can keep all of your other gaming accessories safe inside when they’re not being used.

Gaming is so much more fun when you’re playing with others, which is why a Turtle Beach Recon 500 Gaming Headset (£69.99) is a must-have. It has a durable and lightweight design, and is compatible with many different consoles. Being able to communicate with your friends when playing a game together will make winning so much easier. Also, if you’re living with others then using a headset is a considerate thing to do. You don’t want to disturb them with all your late night gaming!

As we mentioned earlier, prolonged gaming can cause some health issues. Even an hour of gaming can have a big impact on posture. Leaning in to see your screen better could cause a sore neck and back, you could even experience repetitive strain injury in your hands from holding a controller for too long or using the wrong kind of keyboard.

One of the key pieces of gaming furniture that will help posture is a gaming chair. Having an ergonomic gaming chair like the Lydia Ergonomic Reclining Gaming Chair (£159.99) will really help reduce lower back pain and bad posture. This chair has a high supportive back, thick padding, and supportive back and neck pillows. You will truly be able to game in comfort and style with this chair!

Another easy fix to help posture when gaming is getting a suitable gaming desk. Like your gaming chair, your desk should also be ergonomic to help with posture. The Zoeigh LED Ergonomic Gaming Desk (£124.99) is definitely one to consider. This desk provides plenty of space for your keyboard, mouse, monitor and other equipment. It also has its very own cup holder and controller rack. So you won’t have to worry about things getting in the way while you’re gaming. Not only that, but it has LED lights included to create the perfect gaming atmosphere.

When you’re putting your gaming setup together, there are a few things you should consider to make sure that it won’t negatively affect your posture. You should make sure that your screen is at arm’s length from you and eye level. When you’re sitting at your desk try to have both your feet flat on the floor too. These little tips will help reduce the chance of injury due to bad posture. If you want to find out more about how to sit properly at a desk then check out this blog post.
