4 Best Gaming Chairs of 2025: The Official List

There's nothing playful about choosing a gaming chair — in a world where the serious gamer can spend days concentrating on levelling up, intense support and comfort become necessities, not luxuries. First, there's the matter of height: from seat height to back height to arm height, even one option led astray can make or break quality. Then, there are considerations like material, cushioning, spinal contouring and adjustable tilting, recline and swivel: all can take the gamer from level 1 to champion, thanks to meticulous customizations. To help you with parsing through pages of gaming chair designs (all great, by the way), designer Brynna Evans picked out the best of the great; gaming chairs so good, even her own praises are superceded by those of the products' actual customer reviews. Here are slots for the best, divided into categories of Best Overall and Most Comfortable . . . see which ones passed her tests and years of chair design research for the winning titles!
