What is the Best Position for Gaming?

Most of us spend a large part of the day using our cell phones, for either surfing the internet, scrolling social media sites, or playing games. We are so busy doing so that we forget to maintain a healthy posture for it.

No matter if we have cozy boho bedding or a comfortable sofa waiting for us, when playing games, we might find ourselves sitting uncomfortably with our backs bent towards mobile phones, shoulders compressed, and necks turned down. While this is the worst gaming posture, as it can cause serious health issues, we have all been there. 

Do you know what the best position for gaming is? Well, if you don’t, this blog is for you. Here we are going to mention some of the best positions for mobile gaming. So let’s start.

1. Comfortable Bedding for Mobile Gamers

In case you are playing games while lying on your bed, make sure your back is resting comfortably on the bedpost and your arms are resting either on any cushion or your lap.

There is a large variety of comfortable bedding that can complement your gaming position. So if you are fond of playing games in your bed, get a comfortable one for you.

2. Comfortable Seat Height

The height of the seat you are sitting on is very critical. An ideal gaming seat is one in which the distance from the floor is equal to or a little less than your knee cap.

3. Feet Reaching the Floor

When sitting on your gaming seat or any normal sofa, make sure that your feet are resting flat on the floor. Moreover, your knees must bend at a 90-degree angle with your feet distanced from each other and hips resting above the knees. In case your chair is higher, and your feet are unable to meet the ground, play a box or footrest underneath your feet.

4. Back Resting on the Chair Back

Giving rest to your back is very important while playing games. Make sure that your lower back is resting on the chair back at about 100 to 135 degrees angle. Moreover, your shoulders must be open and relaxed rather than compressed towards the mobile phone.

5. Appropriate Monitor Height

The height of the monitor should also be arranged accordingly. For this purpose, you will have to measure the distance of your eyes from the floor. The monitor must be placed at such a position that your eyes could see the top one-third of the screen right in front of it, that is, at a 90-degree angle. If this is not the case, make sure to rearrange the monitor, either by placing some books under it to increase its height or by putting some cushions on your seat, to meet its height.

6. Distance from the Monitor

In addition to arranging the height of the monitor, make sure to keep the monitor at least one arm length away from yourself. In case you have an eyesight problem, you can rearrange it at your convenience.

7. Perfect Keyboard Height

A perfect keyboard height can be estimated by measuring the distance of your palm from the floor. This insurance easy typing or controlling of the keyboard keys. In case you are gaming while standing, you will need to measure the distance again.

8. Distance of Elbows from Keyboard

Last but not the least, make sure that your elbows are at least a 90 to a 100-degree angle from the keyboard while typing, with your hands not hanging in the air but resting on your lap. This would ensure your elbows are in the right position too.

So these were a few positions worth following while mobile gaming. Make sure to switch your positions in order to ensure a smooth blood flow in your body. This is going to help increase your comfort while playing the game as well.
