11 Best Gaming Chairs in New Zealand

1. Secretlab Titan

Best overall

If you are willing to splash the money for the best gaming chair in New Zealand, the Secretlab Titan might be for you. Unlike the others that make you feel the strain, the gel-coated headrest pillow helps you stay cool during your hardcore gaming sessions. Besides the 4D metal armrests, you can also adjust the depth of the lumbar support to avoid unwanted lower back pain.

Cold-cured foam

This chair has a cold-cured foam filling all over it and we feel it’s way denser than its competitors. It can be reclined almost fully, which is a comfortable zone to snooze, and even gamers weighing 130 kg can lay down safely. Whether you are pushing the limit to play or work, you can multi-tilt and lock the seat at any angle that you want, and you can also adjust the height for optimal posture.

Why buy this:

• Award-winning
• Cool gel-coated headrest pillow
• Built-in, adjustable lumbar support
• 165-degree reclining backrest
• Multi-tilt mechanism

2. Secretlab Omega

For medium to smaller users

If you want the lighter option than the Titan, the Secretlab Omega is it. Unlike the previous that is made for heavy-duty, this one is constructed for medium to smaller gamers. Smaller gamers are also thankful for its 80 cm high-back as they find the TItan’s backrest way exceeds their head, which is pretty disruptive.

Reclinable to 165 degrees

We also love that it can be fully reclined for up to 165 degrees, which feels amazing to take a powerful nap between games. To prevent you from stiffly sit in one position for too long, you can adjust almost everything like the armrests, the seat height, seat depth, and even your sitting position can be locked at a certain angle. In addition, no matter how much we move the chair, it glides smoothly and doesn’t leave any scratches on the floor.

Why buy this:

• For 110 kg gamers
• 165-degree reclining backrest
• 4D armrests
• Adjustable seat height, depth, and angle
• Smooth, floor-friendly caster wheels

3. Razer Iskur Gaming-Chair

Ergonomic lumbar support

Sitting on the extremely comfortable Razer Iskur Gaming Chair, we are pretty sure that you will not be leaving your seat anytime soon. What’s great is about the Razer Iskur is that it features an ergonomic lumbar support which includes an adjustable curve aligning perfectly to your spine. This help to provide optimal back support for any lengthy gaming sessions. Moreover, its multi-layered synthetic leather is extremely durable. Not to mention its denser cushions which can mould to support any unique body shape.

Innovative armrests design

In terms of armrests, this Razer gaming chair does not compromise comfort and quality. Its 4D movement allows you to adjust its height, angle and position according to your heart’s desire. Additionally, its strong frame and base can carry up to 136kg of weight. To top it off, its angled seats have been maximized for the most surface area!

Why buy this:

• Ergonomic lumbar support
• High-density foam cushions
• Angled seats

4. GT VIDA V7 Ergonomic Gaming Chair

Ergonomic mesh chair

The GT VIDA V7 Ergonomic Gaming Chair comes with breathable mesh covering, giving you better cooling effect for long gaming sessions. While the headrest of almost all gaming chairs in New Zealand can’t be adjustable, the headrest of this chair can be modified up and down, which tall gamers will appreciate. Other than its adjustable armrests, seat, and backrest, we also love its airy head and back that keep us cool and fresh, even when we sit for extended hours.

Why buy this:

• Ergonomic mesh chair
• Bears up to 250 kg
• Adjustable headrest height

5. Corsair T3

Stylish fabric chair

If the popular racing-style gaming chairs in New Zealand do not fit your style, the Corsair T3 might be for you. It is a stylish chair with classy fabric material that also has the good cooling capability. Furthermore, demanding game sessions can be joyful with its adjustable padded neck and memory foam lumbar cushions to prevent back and neck strain.

Good adjustability

When it comes to game-winning performance, the most important thing is the utmost comfort and sitting position that feels just right—like its tilt and lock mechanism, adjustable seat height, and 4-dimensional armrests. In addition, when you need to relax after the hardcore gaming, the 180-degree reclining backrest snuggly hugs whilst giving the relaxation you need.

Why buy this:

• Stylish fabric chair
• Adjustable, padded neck and memory foam lumbar cushions
• 4-dimensional armrests

It has a full metal construction with a dashing look that works well in reflecting its features—it is taller, tougher, and wider than other gaming chairs in New Zealand. Its other unique feature is the adjustable lumbar support so you can fit it to your most comfortable position. 

Good design

This chair is the perfect balance of design and comfort — it is wrapped in black and neon green PU leather with moulded foam filling all over it that feels soft and dense. Whether you need to stretch your arms a bit or need the maximum positions to win the battles, the 3D soft coat-padded armrests are it. Beyond the velvet-covered headrest pillow that feels extremely soft to the head, we also love the tilt and lock seat mechanism that effortlessly helps us sit in different positions as we spend the nights on it.

Not just the gaming experience, but its glossy, premium leather also elevates the whole room!

Adjustable backrest and headrest

By adjusting the knob beside the seat, you can recline the backrest and the headrest for extended comfort. Furthermore, its breathable mesh cushion and lumbar support also help to make long gaming sessions comfortable. In addition, the 4D armrests help in both placing the optimal forearms positions and making the game sessions less intense.

Although you can set the light in the day, we recommend you to turn it on during the night to really see their true colours and make gaming sessions more enjoyable.

This premium gaming chair is reclinable for up to 160 degrees, and even gamers weighing up to 200 kg won’t tumble down to the ground, thanks to its stable and sturdy aluminium base. We find it effortless to swivel the 4D armrests, and it greatly relieves the wrist pressure, too.
