Floating backrests have been one of the emerging trends in the gaming chair market for the last few years, and I'm grateful. See, our human bodies are horribly inefficient at staying in any one position for too long. Honestly, when you think about it, sitting down is actually a pretty arduous process because we're constantly shuffling positions to avoid a numb rear end, back ache, or some other ailment from the simple act of staying still. Crossing one leg under the other for a bit? Hope you're happy to move again in 20 minutes when circulation to your leg gets cut off.
Try as we might to combat this problem, gaming chairs, couches, and armchairs can still fall short because they don't cater to more than one sitting position. In many ways, trying to cater to as many sitting positions as possible is the goal of any ergonomic, adjustable gaming chair these days, but floating backrests are one of the latest quick fixes.
