TOP 12 best gaming chairs for real gamers

Criterias of choice

You are planning to make your time with your favorite games more comfortable and buy a gaming chair. We advise you to analyze these parameters before purchasing.

Frame. The frame can be monolithic or non-monolithic. In the first case, the seat and backrest are connected, which provides increased strength, but at the same time adjustment of the position of the seat in relation to the backrest is excluded. In non-monolithic models, the back and seat are separated, but they are connected by a special fastener. Gaming chairs often use metal as a connection, which increases the strength of the structure. Non-monolithic chairs are more common because they are cheaper to manufacture and offer users more adjustments.

Back. Another important design element is the back. The first condition is that it must follow the contours of the spine. Flat backs are out of the question in gaming chairs! The second requirement is height. On sale you can find chairs with a short back (50-60 cm) and a full back (from 80 cm). It is better to choose a model with a high back so that the gamer can lean on it while playing and not worry about back support. In addition to height and shape, differences in design should also be taken into account:

• The back can be with lumbar support. This is a stationary or removable bolster that acts as back support. It is better to choose one with a removable roller so that it can be removed if necessary.
• Vertical corset. The back is divided into two vertical parts. They are not too rigid and adjust to the player's back, providing support for the upper back.
• Horizontal corset. The back is divided into horizontal areas, usually two of them (lumbar and back support), but there can be more.

Corset backs, although found in gaming chairs, are quite rare, but models with lumbar support are a common phenomenon; when choosing, you should pay attention to them. Don’t forget - the back must recline 180 degrees.

Rocking mechanism. Rocking mechanisms are required so that you can lean back in a chair and thus change the position of your back, allowing it to rest. They come in four types:

• Top Gun is the most affordable option, which can only fix the position of the backrest vertically and allows you to adjust the elasticity of the swing.
• Top Gun Lux - similar capabilities + fixation of any angle of inclination using a special handle appears.
• Multiblock - has height adjustment, swing elasticity, allows you to fix the entire chair in different positions and smoothly returns it to its original position.
• Synchronous mechanism - has all the capabilities of a multiblock, but at the same time synchronizes the position of the backrest and seat.

Armrests for gaming chairs. Armrests for gaming chairs are represented by wide, shortened supports for parts of the body that are subject to increased load: the middle of the forearm or the wrist area. Armrests are made from PVC material; often the products have a rubberized rough surface. The production of armrests corresponds to the marking:

• 1D. Height adjustment within 2 cm is provided.
• 2D. The rise is increased, the armrests are tilted to the side.
• 3D _ The height is adjustable, the angle of inclination changes (right/left with movement along the axis, rollout forward).
• 4D. To the capabilities of the “3D” model, the function of right and left rotation of the armrest when rolling forward has been added.

Gas lift. Gas lift is a mechanism that is responsible for adjusting the height of the seat and providing shock absorption. There are 4 classes of gas lifts with different permissible loads:

• Class 1 – up to 80 kg;
• Class 2 – up to 100 kg;
• Class 3 – up to 150 kg;
• Class 4 – up to 160 kg.

You should know that this mechanism is replaceable, so if necessary, you can buy a more powerful gas lift separately. But it should be noted that the replacement process can be quite labor-intensive.

Upholstery and filling of gaming chairs. The upholstery is usually a combination of several types of material with textile inserts in places of maximum contact. Most in demand:

• Textile covering. A striking example of an environmentally friendly, ventilated and moisture-absorbing material is acrylic mesh. Less often, users prefer to buy furniture covered with microfiber or polyester. Synthetic textiles are durable and wear-resistant; a gaming chair is also inexpensive.
• Eco leather is soft, pleasant to the touch, durable. Does not stretch or deform. The only drawback is the low level of moisture absorption.
• Genuine Leather. It is used extremely rarely due to its water-repellent properties.

The filling of gaming chairs is traditionally foam rubber or polyurethane foam. Less often, stores offer to buy furniture with padding made of padding polyester or holofiber.

Gaming chair wheels. The following options are common:

• Conventional polymer wheels with metal fasteners and bearings.
• Rubberized (polyurethane or nylon) supports reduce noise levels and the risk of scratches.
• Double. Single-sided wheels placed in pairs in the sockets increase the stability of the gaming chair.
• With rolling lock . Prevent movement of play furniture.

The basic parameters are 11 mm for domestic models, 3 inches for foreign wheels. In some models of gaming chairs, suppliers offer to replace the rollers with special heels (gliders) - stops extended downwards that reduce the height of the seat.

Design and options. Gaming chairs don't necessarily look futuristic or flashy. There are models on sale with a classic and strict appearance. As various options that are not required, but can be included in the chair:

• Footrest.
• Pockets for accessories.
• Backlight.
• Vibromassage.
• Interfaces for connecting different devices (joystick, headphones, etc.)
• Built-in audio.
• Mounts for monitor, steering wheel, pedals, etc.

The range of adjustments is more suitable for people of “average” height. The upholstery material chosen by the manufacturer is wear-resistant, but somewhat “prickly”: those who like to play their favorite game in the summer in just shorts will immediately think about a cape. The shape of the bottom pillow is somewhat specific: the rise in the front can interfere, so if possible, you should “fit yourself in” with the chair. In fact, it is a standard chair of this class. And yes, cats really like this upholstery material, so don’t forget about that either.

Advantages

• good quality for this price class

Flaws

• problems with gas lift life and not a comfortable fit for everyone

TOP “racing” chairs for gamers

We have finally reached that most desired category with real gaming chairs. Upholstery made of excellent material, headrests, adjustment of all parts - this is not an exception at all, but rather an unshakable rule. Such a chair will be a real decoration not only for a gaming room, but also for an office, because it well emphasizes status.

The pricing policy here is versatile, which means you can choose a solution to suit any pocket. For luxury models you still have to pay a significant amount, but in this case you get the maximum level of comfort and some exoticism. The chairs are very similar, so let’s go through the main “types” from the best companies.

Gamer chair – Arozzi Monza

This is the ideological successor to the concept of “racing” style. Unlike the previous model, this one looks more static, because it has a much more massive back and non-adjustable armrests. The back, by the way, is much softer here. The appearance is also somewhat more magnificent.

The weight of the structure does not eliminate the already familiar holes in the back, because the straps from the pads also pass through them. However, this chair deviates somewhat from the dynamic style and is more of a playful adaptation of a serious office chair.

If we compare both options, the overall impressions of them are positive, but the sensations of the “sciatic nerve” may vary.

Review from a real buyer I would like to advise you to purchase an Arozzi Monza computer chair. This option is perfect for everyday use, and your back will thank you

Best computer chair – Everprof Wing TM

Gaming computer chair in a fashionable “racing” design. The upholstery is made of high-quality artificial leather, a combination of black with white, red, orange and blue is provided. The design looks great, provides a comfortable fit and allows the user to spend many wonderful hours in front of the monitor without getting tired at all.

The only thing that can cause criticism here is the plastic cross. However, the manufacturer promises that the chair can support a user weighing up to 120 kg. The asking price is 10,000 rubles.

The best premium gaming chairs

Tt eSPORTS by Thermaltake GT Fit

Here, pronounced lateral support will be inconvenient for a large person, but it will be quite suitable for a normal physique. The maximum load is up to 120 kg, and this figure is quite justified, since the crosspiece is made of aluminum, the internal frame is steel, and the gas lift is class four. The lumbar support and headrest are removable and secured with straps. The multiblock swing mechanism allows you to tilt the chair from 3 to 14 degrees. You can recline the back up to 160 degrees - everything is generally not bad, but the backlash and, accordingly, metallic knocks when rocking somehow do not seem to correspond to the price of the chair. The filling is dense foam without memory effect, the upholstery is PVC leatherette of good strength, but without ventilation. But the armrests, although adjustable in 4 directions, are still a bit harsh on top.

Advantages

• Comfortable for normal build
• Structural strength
• Wide range of adjustments

Flaws

• Developed lateral support (and reinforced by part of the frame, and not just formed by foam) is inconvenient for those with a “wider than average” build.
• Excessive play of the multiblock

Akracing Arctica

The leader in the field of quality and design, the Akracing company, created an original white chair. The design takes the user into the world of fantasy. It looks like it was taken from a spaceship. There is a company logo on the headrest and seat, it looks impressive. The base material is metal, it is covered with soft artificial leather, which is easy to clean from dirt. The ergonomics of the model indicate that the manufacturer cares about users, offering a convenient model with many functions. The seat and armrests are height adjustable. The backrest can be reclined while resting from active battles. According to user reviews, Akracing Arctica is a masterpiece created specifically for gamers who spend many hours in a row in the virtual world. You feel comfortable in it, your back and neck don’t hurt, your elbows rest comfortably on the armrests. The product is easy to clean; artificial leather tolerates soapy water well.

Advantages

• Design
• Maximum load 150 kg
• Adjustable backrest angle
• Seat size 53x56 cm

Flaws

• High price

Red Square Lux

Premium black gaming chair from a reliable manufacturer with a wide back and seat. It can be used by gamers weighing up to 150 kg thanks to its durable frame and metal crosspiece. The swing mechanism will allow you to sit comfortably in it during and after gaming battles. The product is finished with high-quality leatherette with polyurethane foam filling with memory effect. Reliable 4D armrests with a thick layer of rubber are comfortable and soft, and do not sag from the weight of the user’s hands. They can be adjusted in height, angle and reach to suit your own growth parameters. As gamers say, the product is strong and reliable; it can easily accommodate both a child and an adult weighing up to 150 kg. 4D armrests are popular among those who like to sit comfortably in a chair and recline the back.

Advantages

• Convenience
• Design
• Robust design
• Comfortable pillows
• Variety of colors

Flaws

• High price of the product
• No protection on wheels

TESORO Alphaeon S3

It cannot be said that the Tesoro brand is highly promoted in our country - but their products have already been well received by the specialized foreign press, and now a new product has been presented in the line of Alphaeon gaming chairs - the S3 model, which now occupies a top position in it. An interesting feature of the chair is the adjustment of the cushion according to reach; this solution was taken directly from car seats and, it would seem, is just as logical in gaming seats, since they so diligently exploit the auto theme. But come on, not everyone has yet thought of the possibility of more fully adapting the chair to the length of the hips, and the three-level movable Seat Xtension cushion used in the Alphaeon S3 chair deserves additional advantages. True, these pluses are immediately offset by minuses - after all, a “top gun” is used as the swing mechanism, and the upholstery is based on polyurethane leatherette, not polyvinyl chloride (but at least with perforation). They also saved on the crosspiece - it is not aluminum, but steel, which is why the weight of the chair has increased significantly. The gas lift is of the fourth class, which is sufficient for the declared load capacity of 130 kg. Overall, we will give the chair a limited recommendation: “worth trying.” If the pillows on competing models categorically do not suit you, but here your legs find themselves “at home” in one of three adjustments, then why not?

Advantages

• Three-position leg support adjustment
• Strength
• Good breathable upholstery

Flaws

• Swing unit - “top gun”
• Armrest adjustment in only three directions

The Best Mid-Range Gaming Chairs

Arozzi Verona V2

This model from the Swedish company, despite the clearly Italian name, is designed for smaller people - this is indicated by the lower height with the gas lift completely lowered, and the maximum load limit of 105 kg. The chair frame, as expected, is made of steel, the backrest can be adjusted in 4-degree increments up to a full recline angle of 165 degrees. The entire chair swings with an amplitude of up to 12 degrees, and a single adjustment knob, which controls both the gas lift when pressed in the vertical plane and the swing when moving in the horizontal plane, immediately indicates the use of a “top gun” - and for this the chair is probably already a bit expensive. Moreover, the armrests are adjustable only vertically - so, although we would like to hope for “Swedish quality” (although the chair is still made in China), for this money we are forced to “cut” the rating of the chair.

Advantages

• Good ergonomics for people of average height and the same build
• Upholstery quality
• Removable head and lumbar supports

Flaws

• Armrest adjustment – ​​vertical only

Cougar Armor One

The model from a reliable manufacturer stands out for its ergonomics and reliability. The seat height and backrest tilt are adjustable by 180 degrees for comfort and relaxation in between work or play. The original look of the model appeals to young people and older users. In it you can feel like a pilot of a high-speed car, a participant in competitions. A high back with an embroidered company logo and lateral supports for the spine prevent it from straining during long games, and the headrest and lumbar pillow perform additional orthopedic functions. There is a knob under the seat that regulates the rocking resistance, and on the side there is a lever to lock it. According to user reviews, the Cougar Armor One gaming chair for gamers is sturdy due to its metal frame. It unfolds comfortably, and if you configure all the parameters, even a girl with a height of 154 cm, and a guy with a height of 178 cm, can sit comfortably in it.

Advantages

• Breathable eco leather
• Safety
• Wrist Support Adjustment
• Armrest movement back and forth

Flaws

• Price

A wide, comfortable chair in a gaming style is at the junction of the budget and premium series. The crosspiece is made of impact-resistant plastic, and the armrests are made of metal. There are plastic covers on top. The design focuses on avid gamers who spend a lot of time at the computer. If desired, the chair can become not only a working corner, but also a sleeping place, which is realized by tilting the backrest by 180°. The features of the model include: dense filling, reinforced mechanism for changing the angle of the back, adjustable armrests, etc.

Pros:

• polyamide rollers do not scratch laminate and parquet;
• wide seat;
• possibility of adjusting the position of the armrests in different planes.

Minuses:

• The armrests are not the strongest, they can “walk” under the elbows.

“I immediately noticed the chair because of its cool appearance; it goes well with the overall style of the room. Later it turned out that the chair was incredibly comfortable. It creates a feeling of relaxation even during long gaming sessions.”

Price: 14220 rubles.

ThunderX3 TGC12

This is a premium gaming chair, which is expressed literally in everything: the design, the back cushions and even the armrests. The chair is based on a metal frame, and high-quality leather substitute is used as upholstery. The chair can be classified not only as a gaming model, but also as an orthopedic one, because everything is designed in such a way as to remove the negative effect of sitting for a long time.

Pros:

• wear-resistant metal base;
• folding mechanism with the ability to fix the backrest at 90-180°;
• Class 4 gas cartridge allows you to use gas lift even for people weighing 150 kg.

Minuses:

• the smell does not go away for a whole week;
• flimsy armrests;
• Many buyers complain about squeaking.

“Excellent combination of price and quality. After six months of active use, I did not find any significant shortcomings; the casing material remained intact. I liked the rocking system and the pleasant-to-touch armrests. I would be completely satisfied with the purchase, but over time two drawbacks appeared: it creaks a lot, you have to lubricate it often, and your back starts to sweat.”

Price: 16990 rubles.

AeroCool AC220 AIR

It is one of the most popular models on the market, which is easily explained by the availability of the chair. It has the basic functions that you can only expect from a gaming model, but the price does not rise above 20,000 rubles and this is far from the most profitable offer. Comes with lumbar support, height-adjustable armrests and an ergonomic backrest. If desired, the backrest can be folded back and the chair turns into a comfortable sleeping place.

Pros:

• appearance;
• withstands heavy weight;
• perforated and ergonomic chair.

Minuses:

• Many people complain about the quality of leatherette; after six months or a year it begins to crack.

“The appearance of the chair is excellent and this is a fact, but the leatherette is of disgusting quality, as is the foam rubber, which is pressed through and loses its original shape. It is worth noting that I weigh only 78 kg, but what if a person weighing 120 kg uses it? Honestly, the quality corresponds to the current price; I bought it for 13,000 rubles on sale. You just need to take it for restoration and you can continue to use it.”

Price: from 13,400 rubles.

AKRACING AK-K7012

The uniqueness of the model is that the seat is made not of eco-leather, as in other representatives of the rating, but of textiles. From here follow the pros and cons. On the one hand, the textiles do not crack even with prolonged use, and the back sweats less. The downside is that the material is difficult to care for; stains are difficult to remove, and it also needs to be kept away from pets. As for the moving mechanisms, there should be no problems with them; they are simple and reliable.

Pros:

• high back;
• textile upholstery is indispensable for hot climates;
• strong mechanisms and high-quality wheels.

Minuses:

• the back is hard, you need to get used to it;
• The black fabric is quite easily soiled;
• Not everyone finds the bottom pillow comfortable.

“I could have given the chair a 5+ if it weren’t for the narrow and hard supports at the edges of the seat. Because of them, you have to get used to this chair, although everything else is fine.”

Price: from 21,305 rubles.

AKRACING Onyx

The most expensive and reliable model of their entire rating. Using this chair is a pleasure for your back. To create comfort, two support pillows are used, which are made of leather. It is noteworthy that the chair does not have an expressive gaming design; it is made in a black, discreet style, that is, it is suitable for any purpose. Cooled foam is used as a filler - this is a new technology that provides a longer lifespan. All adjustment mechanisms are also deservedly of premium quality.

Pros:

• 12 levels of softness in the swing system;
• all materials are of exceptional quality;
• Any backlash and unnatural movements of the backrest are excluded by the manufacturer.

Minuses:

• with a weight of 120 kg or more, a slight squeak may appear in the swing system.

“I’ve already tried 7 different chairs and there were some shortcomings in all of them. In some models there is a small backrest, in others the seat is too hard, in others there are strong creaks and in general it seemed that they were about to fall apart. I reached this chair and stopped the search. It's really comfortable to sit in."

Price: from 31,713 rubles.
