Unfortunately, lumbar support is provided by a pillow which is likely too thick to be much use: we prefer the in-built, automotive-style adjustment in the Hero chair (and in Secretlab’s Titan Evo). Our resident Apple expert, Lewis covers everything from iPhone to AirPods, plus a range of smartphones, tablets, laptops and gaming hardware. The armrests are padded and covered with faux leather PVC – they're comfortable, stain-resistant and easy to wipe clean. It’s ditched the traditional back pillow for a more intricate built-in lumbar support system, with a crank on the side to adjust the level of support. While it allows you to find the perfect position for your setup, the arms don’t lock into place and will often slide forwards/backwards with a bit of pressure from leaning.

When it comes to materials, the chair is clad in durable synthetic PVC leather, with a layer of memory foam to keep you comfortable. The Secretlab Titan Evo forgoes the traditional bucket seat design employed by many gaming chairs, with a new pebble seat design with a smoother incline than previous Secretlab models that helps guide your body to the middle of the chair for maximum support. It offers height adjustment, 85-165 degree recline, rocking and 4D adjustable armrests with metal buttons that add to the premium feel of the chair.At the entry level, the cheap foam may feel ok to start with (some manufacturers use recycled foam scraps), but it might lose its structure and therefore its support before long, while high-quality foam will retain its shape and also support heavier users.

It’s supportive without being too firm, slowly moulding to the shape of your body as you sit, with no noticeably thin areas anywhere on the chair. It also includes adjustable levers for height and tilt, as well as the ability to rotate 360 degrees.When it comes to PC gaming, people usually prioritise components like the graphics card or peripherals like keyboards and mice that give you an edge in competitive gameplay. In addition to height adjustment, the Epic also tilts back up to 140 degrees and has a lever to lock it in position. The better your problem and question is described, the easier it is for other ADX owners to provide you with a good answer. Yes, it still sports the typical bucket chair seat design, but the minimalist blue accents aren’t too in-your-face compared to bright chairs like the Nitro Concepts S300.

It has a totally different design to any other gaming chairs featured here, perfect if you’re not a fan of the generic bucket seat-style gaming chair or if you want something that won’t draw too much attention in an open-plan office.

Overall, the ADX CHAIR16 is a reliable and durable office chair that promotes proper posture and provides comfort for extended periods of sitting.

Beneath the material you’ll find Secretlab’s signature cold-cure memory foam, arguably some of the best you’ll find in a gaming chair. They provide a comfortable experience through your countless hours of gaming, and they come in all shapes and sizes to accommodate different body shapes. As well as being soft to the touch, the material stays cool in the summer and warm in the winter, and the high breathability of the material means you can wave goodbye to sticky backs during intense gaming sessions. It also features a sturdy base and casters, allowing for smooth and effortless movement across different surfaces. The chair is designed to be a one-size-fits-all affair, with the Ultra able to support anyone from 5’3″ to 6’3″ and up to 135kg.Small issues aside, it’s a phenomenal breathable mesh gaming chair that’ll keep you cool in the summer months – it’s just very expensive compared to most options in our chart. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. The issue is that it’s difficult to adjust the height without accidentally hitting the reset notch, and we found it’d also reset occasionally when trying to move the chair holding the backrest. Its height and tilt angle can be easily adjusted for the perfect position - enjoy those long gaming sessions without the annoying back pains.
