Gaming chairs are our thrones. The pinnacle of comfort, they let us game for hours on end without so much as an ache. Therefore, we decided to show some love to the best gaming chairs of 2025.
There are some strong contenders in our collection of gaming chairs, with certain models that we could rightly list year after year. Today, we’re looking at a few more recent additions. Some even come with matching accessories! So, grab a cuppa and a biscuit, and get ready to admire these cracking gaming chairs!
ThunderX3 CORE Smart Gaming Chair
ThunderX3 is starting our list off strong with the CORE Smart Series. These gaming chairs have a self-adjusting back panel, a SYNC5 mechanism with five ways to configure it, and are available in a range of colours and materials. Oh yeah, and it has a snack pocket on the back. (What can I say? I’m a woman and we live for pockets. And snacks.)
This is the CORE Smart Loft Dark Grey gaming chair, with breathable fabric upholstery in stunning dark tones. Without a doubt, this gaming chair adds equal parts sophistication and ergonomic excellence to your set-up.
noblechairs HERO Gaming Chair Darth Maul Edition
We love a great special edition noblechairs gaming chair – especially when they are depicting someone as iconic as Darth Maul! Officially licenced, the noblechairs HERO Darth Maul Edition is stunning in red and black. The breathable PU leather is coloured black for the main body, while the wings are red with black velour panels to emulate Maul’s distinct tattoos.
On the backrest, there is an embroidered rendering of the Sith Eternal crest – brilliant in red against the black backdrop. Upon the back is Darth Maul, himself, precision stitched with his dual lightsaber ready to duel the Jedi.
On top of this incredible design, the noblechairs HERO is packed with ergonomic features that make it a throne fit for a Sith Lord. Enjoy adjustable lumbar support, a lockable tilt rocking mechanism, and 4D armrests!
Nitro Concepts X1000 Gaming Chair Transformers Editions
We’re going to cheat a little here and talk about three chairs. But honestly, I cannot separate the Nitro Concepts X1000 Transformer Edition gaming chairs. They are all stunning in their own right, and each is built with the same foundation: a steel frame, PU leather upholstery, and adjustable ergonomic features. From there, they feature three Transformers inspired designs. We have the Autobots, Decepticons, and Optimus Prime models.
The Autobots and Decepticon Editions are similar, both sporting black backgrounds, a single colour accent, and silhouette stitching of an iconic Transformer. The Optimus Prime Edition emulates everyone’s favourite robot in disguise’s colour scheme, in bold blue and red.
What else is there to say but, Autobots – roll out!
ThunderX3 YTC Gaming Chair
Coming back to ThunderX3, we have something a little different with their YTC Gaming Chair. Built with individual mesh panels and an innovative Y-frame design, this gaming chair offers the best in breathability and self-adjustment. The back and lumbar panels move independently, always moving to best fit your body as it sits in that very moment.
Plus, the YTC features a SYNC5 mechanism, which can be configured in five ways. Adjust the height, depth, angle, resistance, and tilt. In addition to this, the backrest can be locked at various recline angles, there is a 2D headrest and 2D armrests. With so many adjustment options, it’s easy to find the perfect set up to match your comfort needs.
noblechairs Printing Service
Finally, we have our custom printing service, available on select noblechairs models. Because what better throne is there than one sporting your own artwork?
Using this service, we can print your designs onto the backrest of a noblechairs – curing the detail in place with incredible durability. There are a few parameters to meet – sending us a non-copyrighted image using the CMYK colour model in a print-ready file – but the possibilities are limitless!
Just look at these stunning designs brought to life!
