With a magnetic memory-foam head pillow, adjustable lumbar support, and 165-degree recline, this chair can keep you comfortable for hours. It comes in three sizes to accommodate a range of body types.
The Secretlab Titan Evo is comfortable enough to sit in for hours without getting sore, and it's available in three sizes. It supports good posture for mouse-and-keyboard gaming, and it reclines farther than our other picks for when you want to lie back with a controller. It also offers adjustable lumbar support and a soft head pillow that attaches magnetically, and it comes with a three-year warranty. Additionally, you can choose from 77 variants to customize your seat color, material, and pattern
GTPlayer's Ace Pro was the most comfortable gaming chair we tested at this price or lower, and it's our only pick with a footrest. It has thinner padding than our top pick and is less adjustable, but it kept my legs from getting sore longer than some options that cost three times as much. It also has built-in Bluetooth speakers that are easy to pair and provide decent sound quality. The Ace Pro comes in six different colors, but its narrow seat and fixed armrests accommodate a limited range of body types.
The Mavix M9 is cushier and more comfortable than our top pick, it has smoother casters, and it's more adjustable. It comes in only one size, but you can raise the height of the chair and the backrest independently and adjust the seat depth, which is spacious enough for you to sit cross-legged. It also has a built-in headrest in place of a removable head pillow, and you can adjust the angle freely. But this chair is expensive, and we can't yet speak to its long-term durability.
If you work from home and play games at your desk after hours, the ergonomic Herman Miller Aeron Gaming Chair will prevent the most strain on your body over time. We've recommended the original version of the Aeron in our office chair guide for years, and our staff has vouched for its excellent durability. The Aeron Gaming Chair is also available in two sizes and two height ranges. But in contrast to our other picks, the Aeron does not have a headrest or a lockable recline, so it might not be ideal if you like to lie back with a controller when you game.
