Among the best gaming chairs of 2026, the Secretlab TITAN Evo, offered in three sizes, suits most people. On a tight budget, get the Corsair TC100 RELAXED for €189.90 or the HATOR Darkside 3 Pro for UAH 13,999. Tall and heavy users should consider the AndaSeat Kaiser 4 XL or the noblechairs HERO, and people who sit at a desk all day, the ergonomic Herman Miller x Logitech G chairs.
Below are 9 chairs sold on their makers’ official websites in September 2026: 7 gaming chairs and 2 ergonomic ones that Herman Miller designed with Logitech G for gaming. For each, we list the recommended user height and weight, max load, upholstery, armrests, recline, lumbar support, warranty and official price as of September 25, 2026. The pick for most people comes first, then the chairs go from cheapest to priciest.
How we picked
- Current models only. All 9 chairs are listed on their makers’ official websites in September 2026. If a model came out a few years ago but is still on sale, we say so.
- Different needs and budgets. Affordable chairs, models for big and tall people, and ergonomic chairs over €1,000 for those who game and work at the same desk.
- Manufacturer data. User height and weight, max load, upholstery, armrests, recline, lumbar support and warranty come from the websites, manuals and help centers of Secretlab, Corsair, HATOR, Razer, DXRacer, noblechairs, AndaSeat and Herman Miller.
- Official prices as of September 25, 2026. HATOR runs its own store in Ukraine with prices in hryvnias. For the other brands, we list prices from their official EU stores, and for AndaSeat, from its US store.
These are not our test results: we didn’t test the chairs; we compare manufacturer data instead. Sale prices are for a limited time, and prices and warranty terms at Ukrainian retailers may differ.

- 12-year warranty, no assembly needed
- Most expensive chair in the list
- No headrest
The Embody Gaming Chair is a gaming version of the Embody office chair that Herman Miller and Logitech G released in 2020. Compared with the regular Embody, it adds an extra layer of foam in the seat for a more upright gaming posture and cooling foam that keeps the seat from heating up.
The backrest adapts to the curve of your spine: the BackFit adjustment sets its shape, and PostureFit supports your sacrum and lower back. The seat adjusts for depth (381–457 mm) and height (432–559 mm), and the armrests for height and width. Max load is 136 kg, the warranty is 12 years, and no assembly is needed.
It’s the most expensive chair in the list at €2,154 in Herman Miller’s European store. There’s no headrest, and the maker doesn’t specify the recline angle. This chair makes sense if you spend many hours at your computer every day.

How to choose a gaming chair
Size: height, weight and max load
Start with your height and weight: most makers in this list offer two or three sizes and say who each one is for. Max load isn’t the same as recommended weight. The Secretlab TITAN Evo in size R holds 130 kg but is designed for people up to 100 kg; above that, Secretlab offers the XL for 80–180 kg.
Next, check seat height and depth. OSHA, the US workplace safety agency, says your whole foot should rest on the floor, with the back of your knee slightly above the seat. The UK’s Health and Safety Executive (HSE) advises a 2–3 cm gap between the seat edge and the back of your knee; per OSHA, a too-deep seat presses on shorter users’ knees and keeps them off the backrest.
Lumbar support
OSHA recommends lumbar support that adjusts in height and fits into the small of your back. There are three options in this list. A separate pillow (Corsair, HATOR, DXRacer) is the simplest: you reposition it by hand. The Razer Iskur V2 X’s backrest curve needs no setup, but it can’t be adjusted either. Built-in adjustable support comes on the Secretlab, noblechairs, AndaSeat and Herman Miller chairs.
Upholstery
Leatherette is easier to clean, while fabric is softer and more breathable — that’s how AndaSeat, which makes the Kaiser 4 in both, describes the difference. Makers deal with heat in different ways: Corsair perforates the upholstery, Razer uses CoolTouch leatherette in its NewGen versions, and Herman Miller builds the Vantum’s backrest as an elastomer and polyester suspension.
Armrests: 2D, 3D, 4D
The D stands for the number of adjustment directions. 2D means height plus one more movement: in or out on the Corsair, rotation on the Razer Iskur V2 X. The DXRacer’s 3D adds forward and back, 4D (Secretlab, noblechairs, HATOR Darkside 3 Pro) adds width or angle as well, and the AndaSeat’s 6D adds tilt and pad rotation.
Set the armrests so your shoulders stay relaxed and your elbows stay close to your body, as OSHA recommends. HSE advises placing the keyboard just below elbow height.
Warranty and where to buy
Warranties differ sixfold: 2 years for Corsair, DXRacer and HATOR, 3 years with a free extension to 5 for Razer and Secretlab, 5 years for AndaSeat and 12 years for Herman Miller. The noblechairs term isn’t stated; in the EU, a 24-month seller’s warranty applies.
Warranty terms are tied to where you buy: noblechairs says outright that they depend on the country, retailer and store, and Razer’s extension applies only to orders on Razer.com. If you buy from a retailer in Ukraine, ask who handles warranty service.

Which chair can hold 150 kg or more?
Up to 180 kg: the AndaSeat Kaiser 4 XL and the Secretlab TITAN Evo XL; up to 150 kg: the noblechairs HERO. From HATOR, the Arc 3 in size XL and the flagship Arc 4 in size XXL are rated for up to 180 kg.
Which is better: a gaming chair or an ergonomic office chair?
The ergonomic Herman Miller x Logitech G chairs adjust for seat depth and come with a 12-year warranty, but they cost €1,160–€2,154 and are rated for up to 136 kg. The gaming chairs in this list are cheaper, recline to 125–165°, and Secretlab and AndaSeat offer sizes for up to 180 kg.
How often should you take breaks when sitting at a computer for a long time?
The UK’s Health and Safety Executive (HSE) recommends short, frequent breaks: 5–10 minutes every hour is better than 20 minutes every 2 hours. During a break, get up and walk around, or at least stretch and change your posture.
