The best gaming chair for dedicated players

Razer is one of the biggest brands in gaming. It stands to reason that its gaming chair — the high-end Razer Iskur — is hard to beat. Indeed, if you're willing to splash this amount of cash, this chair is one of the best.

It provides total lower back support with a built-in, fully adjustable lumbar curve. Its covered in a multi-layered PVC synthetic leather that's tougher and more durable than standard PU leather. It should be able to withstand the most raucous of gaming sessions, even if you're going for hours on end.

The armrests can be adjusted in four dimensions, and it can support plenty of weight thanks to a hardy combination of body frame, armrests, and wheelbase. There's also an XL version available for bigger build gamers.

If you need the ultimate in gaming comfort, look no further than the Corsair TC500 LUXE, a premium gaming chair that's built with that very purpose in mind: Absolute comfort for every inch of your body.

It's made with a breathable soft faux leather than will prevent you from getting overly sweaty during intense sessions. But the real comfort is built into the framework, with a wider and flatter seat for accommodating various body types, and a selection of adjustable features.

It has a four-way lumbar support plus omniflex armrests that adjust to whatever position you prefer. Soft contour foam, a reclining backrest, and a magnetic detachable neck pillow round off the comfort-enhancing features.

For gamers who prefer the feel of a fabric rather than PU leather, the Symino Gaming Chair is plush and well-priced. It's upholstered with a faux suede that's soft to the touch and won't stick to your skin during hot and sweaty sessions.

It also comes with all the adjustable comfort features you'd expect from a quality gaming chair, including swivelling arm rests, a removable neck pillow, an oversized lumbar pillow, and a foot rest. It's well padded too.

At a touch under £190 this chair is also great value, and a selection of fabric colours means there's one that will perfectly suit your gaming set-up.

Here’s another entry from Corsair: An upgrade of the Corsair T1 Race chair. Comfort is key, of course, but durability is also important for hardcore gamers. And a solid steel construction means this chair should last for years.

The 4D armrests adjust in any direction, while a gas lift adjusts the height. Heavy duty wheels stay firmly in place while you’re gaming, but they’ll also glide effortlessly across the floor when you need to shift position.

The chair is clad in PU leather with automotive detail stitching (living up to the “race” moniker). A padded neck cushion and lumbar support pillow add an extra level of comfort. An all-round premium option.

The GTPlayer chair comes well recommended because of its sheer value. you get solid construction, adjustable settings, and high-quality materials for just a fraction of the price of competing chairs. Plus, it has an electric lumbar pillow that gives you a massage while you game. It's buzz for your buck.

It has a strong metal frame, which is built to withstand wear and tear, while a retractable footrest literally extends the comfort levels.

The heavy-duty base and nylon smooth-rolling casters provide greater stability and mobility. And while it's at the budget end of the spectrum, we like the selection of colours — all giving you cool gamer style.

Forget the fact it shares its name with a longsuffering Simpsons character, the Millhouse gaming chair is good value for money, with high quality PU leather and thick padding for a decent level of overall comfort.

You can adjust the height and tilt and lock into your preferred position. And unlike some of chairs on this list, you can pick from a competitive range of colours. You can find something stylish that works for your gaming room.

At this price you do sacrifice some quality. It’s best suited for new or casual gamers. Expert-level session gamers should find something more specialist.

The Anda Seat Dark Demon Dragon advertises itself as a premium option and that's exactly what it is: One of the best-rated high-end chairs available.

You'll find all the features you need: Removable support pillows, 4D adjustable armrests, and adjustable height and recline. That combines with a smooth PVC leather and high-density memory foam. Its steel frame will also holds more weight, making this one a great choice for heavyset gamers.

Yes, it's pricey, though it's not the most expensive chair here and you'll be ahead of the game thanks to a lifetime guarantee on the steel framework.
