Getting the right gaming chair for your set-up is vital. Today, we’re looking at the best gaming chairs for large gamers.
Making sure your furniture is the right size for you goes a long way to making your set-up comfortable. Take it from someone who worked from home for a year at a child’s size desk… Just like Goldilocks, you don’t want something too big, or too small, you want something juuuust right.
Key Features
There are a few key features to look out for when picking a gaming chair suitable for a larger frame. Certain models will advertise wider seat bases and larger backrests. Some even include dimensions on infographics or in the specifications. If you have a measuring tape (and maybe a friend), you can directly compare the numbers!
The other thing to look out for is how much weight the gas lift can support. Usually, it’s 100kg+ and it’s a simple case of finding the chair with the highest weight rating. Typically, the size of the chair correlates with how much weight the gas lift can support.
The other thing to be mindful of is that as there are chairs designed for larger gamers, there are equally chairs designed for smaller gamers. You don’t want to accidentally end up with a small gaming chair! It’s giving Greg Davies sat in an EPIC Compact.
Best Gaming Chairs for Large Gamers
Using the key features stated above, we’ve picked out a selection of gaming chairs that are well-suited to large gamers.
noblechairs HERO ST Gaming Chair Black Edition
First, we have the noblechairs HERO ST Black Edition. The noblechairs HERO was originally designed as a larger chair, with a wider seat base and enlarged backrest, while the ST version features stylish harness holes for that race car seat aesthetic. This gaming chair pairs a spacious foundation with superior ergonomics, such as adjustable integrated lumbar support and 4D armrests. In addition to this, the gas lift can support up to 150kg / 330lbs in weight. Plus, the high-tech vinyl leather is highly breathable, with microfine pores permeable to air and water vapour. This throne will keep you comfy even during those long campaign sessions!
ThunderX3 TC5 MAX Gaming Chair Ember Red
Next, we have the ThunderX3 TC5 MAX, the Ember Red edition. This gaming chair is styled on their TC5 model but scaled up to be XXL sized. The backrest is 90cm tall and 60cm wide, perfect for long bodies, and it reclines down to 180-degrees for that ultimate relaxed position! Padded with latex foam and upholstered in a leatherette, the TC5 MAX utilises AIR Tech, a combination of a pinhole design and non-woven fabric, to keep you fresh and well supported throughout your gaming session. Once again, the gas lift can support up to 150kg / 330lbs in weight.
Nitro Concepts E250 Gaming Chair Black
The Nitro Concepts E250 Black will seamlessly integrate into any gaming aesthetic, while the 84cm backrest and weight support up to 150kg / 330lbs make it a welcome addition for large gamers. This is paired with tasty ergonomic features, like a 135-degree recline, adjustable armrests, and a rocking mechanism with 14 degrees of movement. What’s more, a matching pillow set is included to enhance your comfort even further.
ThunderX3 TC3 MAX Gaming Chair All White
Much like the TC5 MAX, the ThunderX3 TC3 MAX is an XXL version of another TX3 series. We picked the All White for its fresh white panelling offset by black accents. Plus, the carbon fibre design creates a sleek, futuristic style that we can’t get enough of! This gaming chair has a 90cm backrest and can support up to 150kg / 330lbs in weight, which is paired with adjustable comfort features. As a result, gamers of all sizes can enjoy enhanced comfort in the TC3 MAX.
noblechairs HERO Gaming Chair DOOM Edition
Naturally, we have to finish our round-up with a Special Edition gaming chair. The noblechairs HERO DOOM Edition is the perfect showstopper. Using the larger HERO design, this gaming chair is adorned with DOOM logos and sigils stitched in red and black. A must for all Slayers out there. More than just its good looks, the HERO DOOM Edition has adjustable integrated lumbar support, 4D armrests, and a lockable tilt rocking mechanism so you can configure this chair to meet your every comfort need. Rip and tear in comfort and style!
