Elsewhere though, most of the material compromises are well judged, though the narrow 40cm wide seat base might restrict the chair’s appeal to, ahem, slimmer gamers. More importantly, when used as supplied, this doesn’t prove an entirely comfortable chair. The primary culprit is the supplied but allegedly ‘optional to use’ lumbar support cushion. 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. Height Adjustable– Easily change the seat height from 48cm to 57.5cm to meet different sizes of tables and desks. 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. 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. Putting it together you'll be reminded of the low cost too. While everything did align well, and the materials are more than fit for purpose, I did have a little trouble getting some of the bolts in place. That was due to the marbles of balled up synthetic material around the holes, which had evidently been burned through. Aside from that, it took me maybe 40 minutes to put together—even without instructions in the box it was relatively straightforward, but this is coming from someone who puts together chairs on almost a monthly basis.It's not so much the changes that make the Embody stand out as one of the best gaming chairs going. It's what's been kept the same. The tried and tested Embody design is simply one of the best chairs for office work or gaming. It's incredibly comfortable over prolonged use, supports an active and healthy posture, and is easily fitted to your frame.

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. This is undeniably a firm seat, not as hard as the Razer Enki Quartz but still a contrast with the deeply cushioned GT Omega Zephyr. Consequently, you sit ‘on’ the chair, rather than ‘in’ it, but after a few days of acclimatisation I found myself preferring Secretlab’s approach. Default Category > Home > Home Furniture > Home Entertainment Furniture > TV Stands & Entertainment Centres 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. We've been recommending the NeueChair as the best office/task chair for years, even since before I joined as overlord of PC Gamer's hardware coverage. As I'd not had the privilege of trying out the chair for myself, however, I wanted to make sure that it was a recommendation I could stand behind.It also means that we can test the longevity of things like the different levers and controls over time, too. We've had issues where some cheaper brands had plastic levers that just wouldn't last. There’s also forward seat tilt, so you can lean in when you realise your opponent is better than expected. Adjustable seat depth also means you can slide yourself forward to get in closer. The latter might be the least useful of the lot, but it comes in handy if you gotta get cosy with your PC but can’t roll any closer. 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. This may be good for posture in the long run, but I found this chair quite challenging to get used to. Even after a couple of weeks, I still can’t say that I, or my co-tester, unreservedly looked forward to the prospect of spending hours in it.

Rather than tread old ground, let's get right into the good stuff. Secretlab is posing the Titan Evo to a wide audience, with three available sizes: small, regular, and extra large. The benefit of this being you'll no longer need to look to a different model of chair to find the right fit—the Titan Evo should cover most bases. I currently use a Secretlab gaming chair which I’m really pleased with. We often used the same chairs for League Of Legends tournaments held across the globe, but there are plenty of good quality alternatives.”

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.
