A gaming chair can make the difference between losing and winning, as we have said in a previous post. But not only does it enhance your overall performance, it can also help you have a better posture while gaming. This results in the ability to focus better and thus, to play better. And of course, there are several health reasons why someone would rather go with a high quality gaming chair. Most people don’t take that into account as much though.
But it can get really hard to choose the right chair for you. Every single one of them is different and built for different kinds of people. We want to help you make the right choice though because such an expensive product should fit your needs. Therefore, we are going to talk about the 6 best chairs that you can get. And hopefully, by the end of this post, you will clearly know what you want and need.
RESPAWN – Omega Xi Gaming Chair
If you are already on the “Fortnite hating” train, then you might have already dismissed this chair. It has the game’s name in the title after all, so it must be “as trash as the actual game”, right? Well, let’s move past this weird trend that has arisen in the gaming community lately because the mentality it created is insanely toxic. Yes, this chair was advertised for Fortnite players, but that doesn’t mean that it isn’t good for anything else. It’s just the marketing, don’t dismiss the whole product.
If you take a closer look then you will know how awesome it actually is. First of all, it reclines. You can go from 90 to 155 degrees within seconds. This enables you to lay back a little and relax while you are waiting for your game to load. Or if you mounted your screen(s) on the wall, then you can sit in a comfortable position while playing. And to make the comfort factor even more intense, you can even use the extendable footrest to kick your feet up.

Homall – Gaming Chair
Now, this is what we would call gaming luxury! This chair’s design clearly derives from what was used for racing games. It is meant to provide comfort and stability while making you feel like you are sitting in a sports car. The manufacturers achieve this feeling by padding out the armrests and the back. Not only does this feel amazing, but it can also help with your posture. The padding helps your spine stay in its’ natural shape, which can help avoid soreness and long term back pain. This effect is enhanced by the two pillows built into the chair. One at the waist and one at the neck. It can also recline 180 degrees. This means laying down completely flat. You can basically take a nap in it if you find yourself overwhelmed by the game.
But our favorite part is the aesthetic of this chair. You can get it in white-black, red-black, blue-black, black and pink-white. All of these color combos look really good (yes, even the last one) and you will most definitely be able to get one that fits the aesthetic of your room. But the leathery material can go with anything, so don’t worry too much.

RESPAWN – 110 Racing Style Gaming Chair
This is the one we recommend if you don’t have too much money to spend on a gaming chair. It isn’t as expensive as others, but the quality is still on point and it has every feature that you might need.
Let’s start with the padding. This chair has some serious amount of it in the backrest, especially of the sides. This pushes the shoulders forward a tiny bit, which is unusual for most people. But this can help eliminate tension in the muscles, especially if you tend to stoop forward while playing. There are also two pillows, one for lumbar support and one for your neck. Both of them can be removed if not needed, of course. Besides this, you can recline this chair by 155 degrees and kick your feet up on a built in footrest. It also looks really nice and comes in 10 different colors, so you will surely find something that fits your style. But it can also pass as an office chair because it seems very professional.

Nokaxus – Large Gaming Chair
At first, you might think that this chair looks a little… wonky. The armrests don’t seem very stable and are very thin. Because of this, you might risk breaking them within a couple of days, especially if you play intense games which get you stressed and angry really easily. But even if that doesn’t happen the screws at the bottom might break after some time, simply because the weight of your arm isn’t properly spread.
But honestly, this is our only problem with this chair. Besides this, it is insanely comfortable, because it has a lot of padding. Mainly on the seat and the back. The padding itself is made out of dense sponge, which means that you won’t completely sink into the chair, but it won’t feel too thick either. It’s also harder to leave a mark in the padding by constantly putting pressure on the same points. This happens because the dense sponge holds its place insanely well.

BestOffice – High Back Gaming Chair
This chair is built to last, let’s get that fact down as soon as possible. It was designed to be stable, mobile and to have a thick and reliable structure that won’t break under any circumstance. Except above 250 lbs, but that is written right in the description.
So, this chair will stay with you for a long amount of time, that’s for sure. But how comfortable is it really? Well, there are the two support pillows for your lumbar and your neck. These are a little different from the others mentioned above because they are more firm, which means that it will be uncomfortable for those who don’t actually have a problem with their posture. Thankfully, they can be removed.
But it doesn’t recline and doesn’t have a footrest, unfortunately. Therefore, you can’t really use it if you have a wall mounted screen because you would absolutely wreck your neck within a couple of hours. But using it with a TV and a console isn’t a good idea either, as you will have the tendency to lean forward and not use the supportive parts of the chair.

GT Racing – Ergonomic Gaming Chair
If you are looking for one of the most famous chairs (besides Pewdiepie’s, of course) then you have found it. Although, this one resembles the Pewdiepie Clutch Gaming Chair a lot, so it might work as a cheaper alternative. This is not a promise, though, so don’t take our word for it.
This chair’s purpose is to provide as much comfort as possible. Because of this, it comes with the usual lumbar and neck support pillows, is able to recline 170 degrees and it has a rocking function. If you didn’t know, the rocking function’s main goal is to help you relax and lean back a little bit because it enables the chair to stay upright, but recline a few degrees under pressure without breaking. It’s best after a long and hard game, because you can just lean back and relax for a short while.
It can also handle up to 300 lbs, which might come in handy if you are on the bigger side.
