Notice anything missing? Maybe a lumbar support pillow. That’s the cool thing! There is no lumbar support pillow, but there is lumbar support—it’s built into the chair. And controlled by two knobs placed on the left and right sides of the chair. You read that right, a magnetic head cushion. A simple solution to fiddly straps, the Titan Evo does away with all that with a couple of powerful magnets. The Kaiser 3 XL is a fantastic chair for anyone looking for a little more wiggle room than your usual gaming seat. The Kaiser 3 comes in two sizes: large and extra large. The large accommodate gamers 4’11 to 6’2’’ (150-190cm) and the extra large is for gamers 5’11” to 6’9” (181-210cm). The one I have the pleasure of experiencing is an extra large.

As always, Corsair has waltzed into the gaming chair space with a refined racer style chair that's not going to have you remortgaging for the privilege of sitting in it. If you're happy to make a couple of sacrifices, this is certainly a good contender for the best cheap gaming chair. Right now the Corsair T3 Rush keeping us going on the side of affordable gaming chairs, so I was expecting great things from this new addition to the ecosystem. And I've not been disappointed. As gamers and office workers, we spend a significant chunk of each day sitting on our money makers in front of screens. Given that most of us don't plan to change that anytime soon, it only makes sense to do so in a great chair. So that's what I set out to find. But it is the most comfortable office chair I've ever sat in, and if you're going to be at your desk most of the day working, as well as into the night gaming, then it's worthy investment to keep your spine healthy. Though, remember, it's worth getting up and walking about every now and then. GT Omega’s heavily motorsport-inspired Zephyr looks every inch the ‘trad’ hardcore gamer’s chair. Winged shoulder arches, sculpted seat bolsters and a strap-secured lumbar cushion, all wrapped in a deeply padded, cherry red fabric, makes a real statement of intent.

There's heaps more to this gaming chair's comfort, but I could be here all day. You should read the review linked below for the full scoop. Point is: it's damn comfortable. If you're on a tighter budget and want maximum comfort, you want to take a look at the ThunderX3 Core.

Though there is still a part of me that wants to lounge around of an evening, and the NeueChair isn't designed for that. It is an office chair, after all. And one of the absolute best, too. We wanted to find chairs that maximized comfort, support, and value. We spoke with Melissa Afterman, MS CPE, a Senior Principal Ergonomist with VSI Risk Management & Ergonomics, Inc., who specializes in workstation setups. As far as accessibility goes, they’re not placed in the best positions. But the knob on the left controls the lumbar support moving up and down. Which is, again, a great function depending on your height. The knob on the right side of the chair determines the firmness of the lumbar support and how much it protrudes out of the chair. When I turn the knob toward me I get more lumbar support. The lumbar support recedes into the chair when I turn it away from me. Neat. Height Adjustable– Easily change the seat height from 48cm to 57.5cm to meet different sizes of tables and desks.The most important thing is to choose a chair that’s been ergonomically designed to offer proper lumbar support,” Mads says. “Adjustable armrests and a comfortable headrest also help maintain good posture during those long sessions at the PC. And despite the swathes of leatherette, I encountered no great issue with sweatiness over extended periods. As for those optional, cooling Technogel armrests, my advice is to invest in them - they’re a genuine boon. The combination of fabric with PU leather trims is also immensely comfortable over extended periods, while the 4D armrests afford just the right degree of comfort and adjustability. Kudos, too, for the near horizontal recline angle, easily the best of the chairs I tested. Really it's about finding what's right for you, and a lot of the time that's a gaming chair because, let's be honest, you like the look of it. That's a perfectly good reason to make that decision, just make sure you're not sacrificing comfort and ergonomics for style and flair. Coming from the same stable as our favorite gaming chairs—the Secretlab Titan Evo—it's no surprise that the NeueChair is an outstanding seat. But it is very much a task chair, not a gaming chair.
