Maximize your gaming experience: The benefits of an ergonomic setup

Remember the time you got so engrossed in a new game that you played non-stop for eight hours… only to find that you could barely stand up because your entire back ached.☝️

Whether you're saving the world or battling to the death in a virtual arena, there's one enemy you never want to face: physical discomfort. Poor posture and inadequate ergonomics can leave you feeling overwhelmed, while pain and discomfort can affect your overall gaming experience (and possibly even your performance).

Given that more than two-thirds of Americans play video games, this is a serious health issue for gamers that requires a practical solution. It's time to address this challenge and take your gaming experience to the next level.

But what exactly is ergonomics?

Imagine your favorite game controller. When you use it, you want it to feel comfortable and natural in your hands, right? That's what ergonomics is all about: designing products and environments that are comfortable and safe for users.

A gaming setup designed with ergonomics in mind ensures that all components are carefully selected and positioned to minimize discomfort and the risk of injury. The main advantage of an ergonomic gaming setup is that it takes into account factors such as body size, posture, and movements while playing.

It should provide long-term comfort and enough space for your preferred keyboard and mouse so you can sit for hours without back pain.

If you're a PC gamer who enjoys playing for hours, sitting in the same position can cause discomfort and even injury—but don't worry, nerds! We've developed the Couchmaster®, the most ergonomic gaming setup on the market. Our patented technology Prevents poor posture and physical discomfort that could affect your gaming experience. So put down your controller and let's explore the benefits!

Ergonomics for victory

Back pain is a widespread problem: approximately 7.5% of people worldwide experienced back pain in 2017. That's a significant number! More specifically, over 500 million people suffer from it. If you're one of those affected, investing in an ergonomic gaming setup can help alleviate your problem.

Just as Skyrim skillfully combines various spells, the Couchmaster® seamlessly combines the comfort of a sofa with the ergonomics and work surface of a desk.

Unlike other lapboards that move when you flail your arms in frustration after a loss, the Couchmaster® stays in place, ensuring the most comfortable gaming experience. The Couchmaster® board is supported by two cushions, providing maximum stability. It also features ergonomic wrist rests to ensure you can use your hands comfortably.

If a long gaming session has ever left you feeling like the Hunchback of Notre Dame, the Couchmaster® is here to lift you up! When you sit down, the cushions allow your arms to rest at a perfect 90-degree angle, avoiding the dreaded "hunchback" posture that can cause back and neck pain—this can also improve your posture!

In addition to the health benefits, an ergonomic gaming setup also contributes to a boost in your performance and productivity. A comfortable and supportive gaming environment allows you to stay focused and engaged for longer periods of time, giving you an even better chance of beating the competition!

Without any distractions from physical discomfort, you can fully immerse yourself in your gaming experience—without back pain bringing you back to reality! But wait, how do you know you're using the Couchmaster® correctly to maximize ergonomics?

Tips and tricks to make sure you do everything right

You've got your Couchmaster® and you're ready for an epic gaming experience! But how can you ensure you get the most out of your setup? Here are some useful tips and tricks to make sure you're doing everything right:

Attitude: Good posture is crucial for an ergonomic gaming experience. Make sure you sit upright, with your feet flat on the floor and your back and neck in a neutral position. The Couchmaster® cushions should be positioned at the characteristic U-shaped angle of 90 degrees to the board. Keep your shoulders relaxed and avoid rounding your back. Correct posture minimizes the risk of tension and injury and allows for a comfortable and focused gaming experience.

Comfort: Your comfort is crucial to reaching your full gaming potential. Make sure your couch offers a flat surface that won't sink too deeply. The Couchmaster® is designed for an optimal couch depth of 60 cm, but its universal shape also fits most sofas. Test the Couchmaster®'s position and adjust it to your individual needs if necessary to achieve the greatest possible comfort.

Accessibility: Easily accessible gaming equipment is essential to avoid unnecessary strain on your muscles, tendons, and nerves. Position your mouse and keyboard on the Couchmaster® so you can reach them comfortably and without excessive stretching. This allows you to focus on the game without being distracted by uncomfortable positions.

Adaptability: The Couchmaster® offers several models tailored to different body types and postures. Choose the model that best suits you. The regular Couchmaster® is well-suited for average to slightly wider body types. However, if you're looking for a model that's suitable for all body types, we recommend the Couchmaster® CYBOSS. With its larger and wider cushions and expanded support area, it offers optimal comfort and support for both left- and right-handed gamers.

With these tips and tricks, you'll be well-equipped to get the most out of your Couchmaster® setup. Enjoy longer gaming sessions with comfort and performance without compromising your health. Let our exclusive range of Couchmaster® products Be inspired and find the perfect ergonomic setup for you!
