Putting together any piece of deconstructed furniture is no laughing matter, but at least with the Noblechairs Epic Black Edition, it’s as easy a process as it can be. And once all the parts are combined into the chair-like structure, all that fiddling and grunting from the last 30 minutes fades away into comfortable bliss.

That’s because the Noblechairs Epic Black Edition brings its excellent material choice to the fore. Besides the wrap of vinyl/PU leather hybrid, there’s markedly more metal to the Epic Black Edition compared to many gaming chairs available—even most 1337 fare on this list. The backrest lever and some of the adjustable armrest buttons are now metal to keep them in tip-top shape for longer.

While a little on the pricier side, this is clearly a gaming chair built to last—think of it as an investment in your prolonged comfort. You shouldn’t grow tired of the black colorway thankfully, either. The same which can’t be said for some of the more outlandish designs out there. Once you’re working from home in five years, think back to when you thought that fire-emblazoned gaming chair was ‘legit’.

It’s not the cheapest gaming chair you can find, but if you’re looking to correct your computer neck, the SL5000 is the chair for you.

The dual cushions can be adjusted to support both your lumbar and cervical spines simultaneously so you can settle back into this chair with ease. The backrest is entirely independent and adjustable, which also lessens the strain on your neck and back.

The 4D customizable armrest allows for a wide variety in terms of width and height adjustments to better support your wrists and arms.

The quality of the chair’s materials can’t be denied, either. The entire exterior is made of PVC leather that’s stain and water-resistant, with extra thick foam padding.

The base of the chair is made of aluminum alloy. Plus, the SL5000 stands out, as it strays from standard gaming chair colors of red and black or black on black. The royal purple is eye-catching and vibrant, and the color even lines the inside of the wheels – this thing is a beauty.

It’s wildly easy to put together, too. The only qualm we have is that the seat cushion leaves a little to be desired when compared to the extra cushy backrest. Otherwise, it’s a beautiful, comfortable chair that is well worth the cash. This chair deserves to make it to the list of the best gaming chairs in 2020.

When buying a gaming chair, it’s easy to forget your health. After all, most are advertised as luxurious, cushioned thrones that soothe you’re every ache as you smash the crap out of enemies in Apex Legends. But that simply isn’t true, and for some, it’s important to pick a chair that takes back-support seriously.

With some of the team has used it on a daily basis for almost a year, we can thoroughly recommend the Noblechairs Hero, in uPVC leather. While not the most exciting of chairs, or the sportiest, it definitely takes care of your back.

The Hero is easy to assemble, with the exception of the bit where you attach the back to the seat, so make sure you have a buddy for that. It’s firm and supportive, and extremely sturdy. As a word of warning: it is very firm, so if you prefer a softer chair that isn’t as good for your lumbar, this maybe isn’t for you.

Aside from that, it has a decent recline, can withstand frames of up to 330 lbs, and it has fully adjustable wrist-rests. It’s heavy but glides pretty easily on the supplied casters. It’ll look just fine in both an office or gaming setup, so you’re getting a chair that can do both. Not bad, if you can afford it.

5. Arozzi Verona Junior (Best Gaming Chairs 2020)

Whether you’re a kid or just shorter than the average human, Arozzi has got you covered. The Verona Junior’s racing-style chair is made just for individuals under 5-feet, 2-inches tall, which means you can count on this chair molding to the proportions of your body—and you can finally touch the floor with your feet without having to reach upward for your keyboard. Win, win.

The included lower back pillow actually sits right at your lower back, so the chair helps to hold you up—no fatigued back muscles from trying to maintain a dancer-like posture for eight hours a day.

The shallower seat back allows you to sit all the way back in the chair, which means added support for the hips and other joints that may have become achy with age if you’re a short adult. The Verona Junior also reclines to an impressive 165 degrees, so you can nap fearlessly.

Corsair’s latest addition to its lineup of premium gaming chairs, the T3 Rush, has gotten a much-needed facelift. The T3 Rush is an insanely comfy chair thanks to its memory foam lumbar pillow but, more importantly, uses a breathable soft fabric in place of faux-leather.

The benefit of this is that it retains less heat, keeping you fresh and comfy instead of sweating in your squeaky pleather.

The Rush also reclines to a ridiculous 180 degrees in case you wanted to lie back and take a comfy cat nap before you take on another marathon streaming session of Apex Legends or CS: Go.

The only major downside for the T3 Rush mostly fits for smaller framed users. If you require a little larger seat, the T3 will be an uncomfortably tight fit. Other than that, the T3 Rush is an impressive looking gaming chair that doesn’t need a loud color to make a statement.
