Ranking of the best gaming chairs
TetChair Driver
One of the best budget gaming chairs on the Russian market. The attractive "sporty" design, coupled with a soft seat and a strong backrest, are able to give almost top-level comfort both during hard work and during especially "sweaty" skating rinks. Easy to assemble thanks to a small number of assembly elements and detailed instructions.
The rocking mechanism (one position) works flawlessly, and the armrests do not play and are securely fixed, although they are slightly harsh. The model is suitable for people of average build, the weight limit is 120 kg. The midsole is woven for added comfort, while the back seam is not felt or distracted.
Chairman GAME 15
Stylish budget chair for the thrifty gamer. It features well-thought-out ergonomics and high-quality filler that increases comfort during long gaming sessions. At the same time, it is not possible to change the angle of deflection of the back, and the endurance of the lifting mechanism is limited to 120 kg.
There are also complaints about the quality of the stitching of the upholstery material, but most often crooked seams are present only in inconspicuous places. For added comfort, the headrest is equipped with air vent holes and the swing mechanism is equipped with a firmness adjustment function. At the same time, the design noticeably lacks lumbar support, which the manufacturer offers to purchase separately.
Aerocool AC110 AIR
A gaming chair with a price on the verge of leaving the budget segment, but with claims to the comfort of top-level models. Thanks to the foam padding and the ergonomic shape, it provides a comfortable fit, plus the tilt adjustment of the backrest and two detachable pillows (for the lumbar and head) included in the kit.
On the other hand, the reviews of gamers on this model are full of complaints about the rapid appearance of creaks and backlashes in the armrests, as well as the poor quality of eco-leather upholstery, which is quickly wiped off. Another weak point is the nylon crosspiece, which, although stronger than ordinary plastic ones, still breaks periodically.
Everprof Lotus S4
A gaming chair from the budget segment, but with the parameters of top-level models. Has a ton of fine tuning options, including backrest deflection and armrest height. In addition, this model is built on a robust steel frame and rests on a steel spider with compact rubberized wheels. Upholstery material - fabric that prevents excessive sweating in hot weather.
For oversized gamers, it can be cramped due to the narrower seat. In the reviews and reviews there are some complaints about the mechanisms: the backrest can jam when tilted, and the short stroke of the armrests constrains the movement of the hands. The scope of delivery includes a removable headrest and lumbar support.
Arozzi torretta
A relatively budget professional gaming chair with a high structural strength, as well as a wide range of backrest and armrest adjustment.The set includes two pillows in the same color as the chair - the first for the head and the second for the back. Instead of replacing leather in the upholstery, there is a dense fabric that is more pleasant to the touch and more resistant to wear, but you will have to work hard to remove stains from spilled drinks or food.
Under the textiles, there is foam rubber and a metal structure that is resistant to wear and tear, and only the armrests are made of plastic. This model has received mixed reviews, but regularly appears in gaming chair reviews.
AeroCool AC120 AIR
A popular model in the mid-price segment, but with functionality at the level of more expensive gaming chairs. The seat is adjustable only in height, but within the optimal range, the backrest can be lowered to a recumbent position, and the armrests are adjustable in height, helping to find the most comfortable position during long gaming sessions.
There were no strong complaints about the reliability of the design in the reviews, moreover, a class 4 gas lift was used here, i.e. maximum load increased to 150 kg. For added comfort, a lumbar support and a removable headrest are provided. The most obvious drawback is the cheap eco-leather upholstery, which quickly peels off and cracks.
COUGAR Armor
An interesting gaming model that receives a large number of positive reviews and regularly appears in reviews. It has in its arsenal great possibilities for individual adjustment: the angle of recline of the backrest, the height of the armrests, the retractable cushions and the gas lift of the 3rd class. Also pleasing is the developed lateral support and overall ergonomics, including the location of the adjustment levers.
In addition, this gaming chair is built on a sturdy frame, complemented by a metal D-pad with decorative overlays and reinforced wheels. A fly in the ointment will be a limited gas lift and foam filler, which will sell out in a couple of years of operation.
DXRacer Iron OH / IS11
An entry-level professional gaming chair with matching design and advanced features. One of the notable features is the adjustment of the armrests, not only in height and tilt, but also in reach, which will be appreciated by gamers with a large physique. On the other hand, the seat has a low seating position, so taller players should look for alternatives.
In reviews and reviews, users point to the reliable design of the chair, although sometimes complaints about micro-backlash and squeaks occur, especially in the rocking mechanism. Another complaint is the pungent odor from the upholstery in the first weeks of use.
AKRACING ProX
Not a bad mid-level gaming chair with well-thought-out ergonomics and anatomical shapes of structural elements. Received a strong metal crosspiece, plus a steel frame, which can withstand loads of up to 150 kg. In addition, the arsenal of functions includes large ranges of seat height and backrest tilt with the option of rigid fixation in any position.
The rise provides a reliable class 4 gas lift, and a modern high-density polyurethane filling is responsible for comfort. The gaming chair is upholstered in artificial leather with a large margin of abrasion resistance. A bonus is the ability to choose from several color schemes.
COUGAR Armor Titan
Top-level gaming chair with detailed design: rigid steel frame, robust lifting mechanism, great options for adjusting the position of the back and armrests, lumbar support included. It is covered with good quality artificial leather, so it will not wear off in a couple of months, like many cheaper competitors. Receives tons of reviews, and also regularly gets into ratings and reviews of the best gaming chairs.
Of course, there are also disadvantages. So, for complete happiness, there is not enough height adjustment of the backrest and a more comfortable headrest, and the diamond-shaped stitching contributes to the accumulation of dust. In addition, there is a high probability of the rapid appearance of backlash in the armrests.
