Comfort? Playseat has got it down to a science. It's like the Goldilocks of racing cockpits: not too snug, not too spacious—just right. And don't get me started on long-lasting durability. These bad boys are built to endure every sharp turn, brake slam, and victory lap you throw at them. But what really seals the deal? Real racers train on Playseat. So, if you're gunning for that authentic track experience without the pesky risk of actual car crashes, Playseat's your co-pilot.

Playseat racing simulator cockpits come with high levels of adjustability. From your 6-foot-tall buddy to your cousin who's still awaiting that growth spurt, Playseat has got everyone’s back (and front, and sides).

You can slide the sim racing seat backward and forward. Plus, adjust your pedal and wheel mounts. With so much adjustability, professional race car drivers or e-sport athletes of any size can fine-tune the simulator for maximum comfort and control. No more cramped legs or sore arms from improperly fitted gear. Just adjust your Playseat cockpit to match your measurements and driving style.

Bottom line? With Playseat, there’s no wriggling around trying to find that sweet spot. You set it, forget it, and dive deep into your favourite racing titles.

Upgrade your cockpit with add-on accessories

If you think Playseat's racing cockpits are the bee's knees, wait until you check out the range of accessories and add-ons on offer. First off, Playseat manufactures both single and triple monitor stands. These monitor stands are crafted with the same attention to detail and quality you’ll find in their cockpits. 

You’ll also find Playseat has a range of bolt-on accessories for your cockpit including a shifter, handbrake and wheel mounts. If you’ve got a direct drive wheel and you want to front mount it to your Playseat cockpit then the direct drive mount is the way to go. Likewise, if you’re hanging to add a shifter or handbrake to your sim rig, Playseat has the mounts for all your essential gear. 

Last but nowhere least, those floor mats! Say goodbye to those "Oops, did I just scratch my floor?" moments. These mats are like a superhero cape for your floor—protecting it from all the intense action and giving your setup a slick, pro look.
