Honourable Mentions
ThunderX3 CORE Smart Gaming Chair Loft Dark Grey
The ThunderX3 CORE Smart Series has been a game changer for ergonomics this year. With a SYNC5 mechanism, self-adjusting lumbar support, and a snack pocket, this gaming chair really has it all. There are a couple of great styles available across the range, but it’s the Loft Dark Grey with its brushed grey finish that gives us the super heart eyes. The SYNC5 mechanism offers five-way adjustability, including the seat base position and a synchronous tilt. You can adjust the CORE Smart to meet your exact needs. (And have a cheeky place to keep your Christmas biscuits, too!)

Aerocool Guardian Gaming Chair
Next on our list is a chair that isn’t afraid to be a little different. Unlike the rest of the gaming chairs featured in our top five, the Aerocool Guardian Gaming Chair is the only one to not sport an esports design. Instead, this chair has an armour-like plating style, upholstered in a highly breathable mesh material that just looks stunning with the Azure White colour scheme. The black and white panelling accents the unique shape beautifully. More than just its looks, the Areocool Guardian is equipped with amazing ergonomic features such as a backrest able to recline up to 135-degrees, adjustable armrests, and a two-dimensional headrest. Comfy stuff!
Aerocool Guardian Gaming Chair – Azure White
- Armour-plate style design

- 2D armrests

- Stunning black and white aesthetics
Buying on a budget? Don’t let that stop you, we have a selection of our best gaming chairs available under £250 for you to peruse.
Nitro Concepts X1000 Gaming Chair – Black/Blue
On to the next model, we have the Nitro Concepts X1000 Gaming Chair in a sleek blue and black colour scheme. The high-quality fabric is black with accenting panels of vibrant blue, making this a stunning addition to any gaming set-up. We particularly like it when paired with the OcUK Gaming Mach 1. What’s more, the X1000 has adjustable ergonomics, including 3D armrests, ~10cm of height adjustment, and a deeply reclining backrest. Game on in comfort as well as style.

noblechairs LEGEND Gaming Chair
A legend is among us: the noblechairs LEGEND Gaming Chair. Five different styles (and a special edition or two!) are available, but it’s the Black / White / Red chair that caught our eye. The LEGEND takes inspiration from the whole noblechairs range, sporting a shape similar to the ICON, harness hole like the EPIC, and sculpted wings like the HERO. What makes this chair stand out from the others is its brand-new aesthetic: the main body is upholstered in black high-tech PU leather, highlighted edges in white, and then bold textured red panelling on the wings. Paired with the superior ergonomics we know and love from noblechairs, and this is one heck of a chair!

- Upholstered in high-tech PU leather
- Stunning black, white, and red design
