EDGE GX1 review: a seriously comfortable gaming chair, but not £1,000 worth of comfortable

Are you sitting comfortably? Maybe you are. But you could always be sitting more comfortably. And not only that, you could also be sitting in a way that isn’t going to give you the nightmare posture and spine of an 87 year-old woman by the time you’re in your early 40s. Which is where the EDGE GX1 gaming chair is comes in; offering an alternative to the ubiquitous racing seat gamer aesthetic with an ergonomic bent. The ~£900, hand-crafted EDGE GX1 gaming chair has been created specifically to support all gaming styles, whether you’re so laid back you’re chest is never free of a light dusting of Cheetos, or pitched so far forward your monitor has grease spots where your nose brushes the screen. With the EDGE acronym standing for Ergonomically Designed Gaming Equipment, the GX1 has apparently been created to “enhance gamers’ performance, health, and wellbeing.” Which is a lofty goal, though considering the sticker price I’d like it to be picking the perfect stocks for my portfolio and maybe offering a nice massage too.
