Gaming chairs are a hot item these days and some of the best fabric gaming chairs are even hotter. They give streamers extra comfort they’re looking for, especially during Twitch livestreams. They’re also a great choice for kids, teenagers and adults looking to enhance their gaming setup.
They’re also more comfortable than vinyl or leather chairs. After all, who doesn’t hate the feeling of being stuck to their chair after long hours of gaming? Peeling your skin off a vinyl chair can be pretty uncomfortable to say the least.
Whatever the reason you may be looking for fabric gaming chairs, you’ve certainly come to the right place. We’ve dedicated ample time to researching, testing and reviewing the best fabric gaming chairs. Our goal here is to help you determine what the best option is for you while also giving you our favorite recommendations on the market.
So let’s get to it.
The Best Fabric Gaming Chairs
Nouhaus Gaming Chair
Instead of peeling yourself off a leather desk chair after a long gaming session, Nouhaus designed a gaming chair with a plush microvelvet cush that’s perfect for your tush. It’s more forgiving and far more comfortable than your standard leather or hard vinyl desk chair — and also looks way better in your gaming cave.
The chair is packed with features to make it stand out from the rest, too. Have you ever tried out roller blade wheels on a chair? Yeah, you should. They’re A+. You get the smoothest roll on any type of flooring. No more jerking your chair back and forth trying to get in the perfect position. Just roll with the flow.
And instead of sweating buckets while you’re pwning n00bs, this chair comes with a cut-out backrest to let air flow freely during those hot days. Set up a fan behind you and feel that cool, cool breeze come on down the back of your neck. Ohhh yeah, that’s the good stuff.
GTRACING Gaming Chair
GTRACING is dedicated to making the best gaming chairs for the pros — and without a doubt, this chair delivers. Once you sit down, adjust it to your liking and turn on the monitor, you are absolutely going to feel the difference between this chair and the one you’re leaving behind.
It features multifunctional adjustability: height, reclining, armrests and a removable headrest and lumbar cushion. When it comes to adjustability and comfort, this chair pulls out all the stops. No more uncomfortable gaming sessions on a hard chair.
This chair is made with high quality materials and features a soft fabric surface and added seat cushions. You’re absolutely not going to get up from this chair because you’re uncomfortable. This is an ideal chair for working, studying, gaming and more.
In fact, it’s very similar to the Pewdiepie Gaming Chair — at a much more budget-friendly price point.
AKRacing Core Series EX Gaming Chair
Another “racing” style gaming chair that we love is the AKRacing Core Series EX. They’ve been in business since 2001, first in automotives and then expanding to office and gaming furniture. When a company starts out making automotive seats for high performance cars, you know they’re serious.
If you’re truly passionate about the best, most durable and breathable fabric on the market — then you should probably just click the link above and check it out now. This chair is the king of kings when it comes to fabric gaming chairs. It also comes in five bold color options.
This chair also is adjustable as heck: armrests that adjust in three directions, a 5-star base for a smooth movement and a rocking mechanism to help you find a comfortable seating position.
Arozzi Vernazza
If you’re looking for a gaming chair that could also double as a “WFH” desk chair as well, then the Arozzi Vernazza is a perfect option. This fabric chair looks just as good in the back of a Zoom call as it does a Twitch stream.
The chair comes in a variety of colors — ash, blue, dark grey and light grey — so you’re sure to find something that fits the vibe you’re looking for. And the premium upholstery fabric is what makes it stand out. It’s stylish, breathable, but more importantly, durable. It’s designed for the body to stay cool for long term use, so you can stay focused.
The Arozzi Venazza is truly one of the best fabric gaming chairs out there, but also one of the biggest — able to hold a weight capacity of 320 lbs. and also has a big “hugging” backrest that wraps all the way around your shoulders. It’s an ideal chair for those who are big, tall or just enjoy the extra space.
Bottom Line
A fabric gaming chair can be an excellent addition to your current (or future) gaming setup. They’re comfortable, stylish and allow you to sit for an extended period of time without getting the feeling that you’re stuck to your chair.
