Best gaming chairs

Start with the Secretlab Titan Evo. It's the chair most people end up keeping: steel frame, firm-but-supportive seat, and the best owner ratings of anything here — get the size that matches your height and weight.

Who the others suit:

• AndaSeat Novis — the sensible mid-range pick if you want a proper ergonomic recline without Secretlab money.
• RESPAWN 110 Pro — a solid, widely sold racing-style chair with a footrest for lounging.
• Bossin big-and-tall — the one to look at if you're heavy or tall; it's rated to 400 lb.
• GTPLAYER GT800A — a cheap first chair with a footrest; expect budget build quality.
• Secretlab NanoGen — only if you want the softest, most premium upholstery.

Skip the LED rocker unless it's for a kid's room.
