The 7 Most Comfortable Gaming Chairs in 2021

Gamers will also enjoy playing their favorite video games and typically prefer to do so for as long as possible. To do that though, you will need a comfortable gaming chair. There are all kinds of gaming chairs out there and many of them have numerous features that can easily outshine how comfortable they are. At the end of the day though, the RGB lights or built-in cup holders won't matter much when your back is killing you. For that reason, you should prioritize comfort when selecting your gaming chair. Luckily, we've narrowed down some excellent choices below when it comes to the most comfortable gaming chairs.

Anda Seat Fabric Gaming Chair

The Anda Seat Fabric Gaming Chair stands out because it is made of carbon fiber linen rather than the typical leather seen in gaming chairs. It is also crafted with a solid steel framework to provide durability and stability. The fabric and material of the chair will contour to you without losing its shape while providing maximum comfort. The reclining back can be locked at any angle between 90 and 160 degrees and has an adjustable tilt for any preference. The armrests can be adjusted in every direction so you can find the perfect angle. For even more comfort, the Anda Seat Fabric Gaming Chair includes a removable memory foam headrest pillow and a lumbar support pillow. This comes in several colors including black, grey, and blue for those who want to match their style. The Anda Seat Fabric Gaming Chair is available for $499.99 which makes it a little pricey compared to other options out there.

COUGAR Explore S

Featuring a bright but classy orange tone, the COUGAR Explore S is a superb choice when it comes to comfort and style. It owes its comfort to the high-density mold shaping foam and perforated premium PVC leather. The leather is also designed to absorb moisture and be more breathable. This comfort is matched by the durability of its steel frame which makes this chair long-lasting. For more comfort, the backrest can recline up to 155 degrees and can be locked at any point within this range. There is also a lumbar and head pillow that can be removed when not needed. The seat height is adjustable as well as the 3D adjustable armrests. Lastly, for fantastic stability, the COUGAR Explore S has extra-large wheels. This chair is available for $299.00 but goes on sale fairly often.

Herman Miller x Logitech Embody Gaming Chair

The Herman Miller X Logitech Embody Gaming Chair was created through the collaboration of Herman Miller and Logitech as well as with the input of over 30 physicians and PhDs in biomechanics, vision, physical therapy, and ergonomics. All that amounts to one comfortable chair. It is crafted with a four-layer seat that features elastic suspension, support coils, and a copper-fused foam that provides comfort, cooling, and support. The Backfit adjustment will automatically conform to your spine for an individualized level of comfort. The arm height and width are also adjustable as well as the seat which can be adjusted both in height and depth. This chair was truly built with gamers in mind to provide comfort to those that sit for long periods. The major downside of this chair is its price tag which is $1,595.00, but chances are you won't have to purchase another chair for quite some time.

Razer Iskur

Razer has proven that when it comes to gaming, they are one of the top contenders and they bring that same level of quality to the Razer Iskur. This gaming chair is unique in that it has built-in, fully adjustable lumbar support that is curved to align with your spine. It is crafted with synthetic multi-layered leather that is tougher and more durable than the standard PU leather found in most gaming chairs. Beneath this leather is high-density foam cushions that have a plush feel and offer fantastic contouring. The Razer Iskur is capable of reclining up to 139 degrees and features 4D adjustable armrests. This chair features Razer's logo as well as a stylish-looking snake scale pattern to the lumbar support. Unfortunately, the Razer Iskur doesn't feature any RGB lighting that the company is known for. All of this is available for $499.00.

Respawn RSP-900

When you think of the word comfortable, you probably imagine yourself sitting back in your chair with your legs propped up on a footrest. With the Respawn RSP-900, you can do just that while also being able to play your favorite games. Unfortunately, this design is aimed more so at console gamers, but Respawn has a rocker style version of this same chair which is perfect for PC gamers. The bonded leather and removable headrest pillow offer great comfort and the built-in cup holder allows you to keep your favorite beverage nearby. There is also a removable side pouch for storing controllers and cords. The Respawn RSP-900 is capable of reclining up to 135 degrees and features a 360-degree swivel base. While the chair and footrest are one solid piece, they can be controlled independently which allows you to recline without using the footrest. You can kick back in this chair for $299.99, but if you are patient you can snag it when it's on sale.

Secretlab Titan/Omega

Secretlab has always crafted excellent gaming chairs and the Titan and Omega are no exceptions. The Titan version is designed for larger gamers while the Omega suits smaller gamers better. Both versions will keep you comfortable while playing as they are identical. The backrest is capable of reclining between 85 and 165 degrees and comes with both a headrest pillow and a lumbar support pillow. The seat is made of memory foam with a cooling gel and its height can be adjusted. The armrests are also adjustable and four-directional. The PU leather and aluminum alloy of the Titan/Omega will ensure that this chair retains its comfort and lasts you a long time. Something that makes this chair unique is the numerous styles that Secretlab offers in designs, ranging from colors, popular series, and even Esports teams. The Secretlab Titan/Omega is available for upwards of $400 depending on the style you select.

Everybody has their preference when it comes to comfort Some like it hard and some like it soft. Therefore, it can be difficult to say exactly which chair is right for you without first taking a seat in it. Comfortable gaming chairs tend to run a little more expensive than other chairs, so those on a budget should take a look at the GTracing GT902. On the opposite end of that is the Herman Miller X Logitech Embody Gaming Chair which is far more expensive, but offers the best comfort. And for those in between, the Razer Iskur and Secretlab Titan/Omega are fantastic choices.
