Tips & Tricks To Find The Best Gaming Chair

In our quest to find the best pink gaming chair, we asked the gaming enthusiasts among our parent readers for their tips and advice. We interviewed several gamers, learning about which gaming chairs make playing fun . . . and what makes a gaming chair fall short.

Here are some key tips to find the best gaming chair:

• Adjustability! The best chairs have adjustable armrests AND footrests—this is important, as some folks prefer armrests in a higher position. FYI: All the chairs recommended in this chair (except the final pick) have adjustable armrests.

• Lumbar support. All the chairs we recommend in this article have built-in lumbar support pillows. We learned that’s critical to comfort from gamers who told us this makes or breaks a good chair.

• Footrest. This is one of those features that folks either love or hate—one of our top picks has a footrest, which can be retracted when not needed. 

• Tapered seats. Some gaming chairs have seats with wings that provide additional hip support. That’s nice, but it also tends to narrow the seat. If that is a concern, go for a model that has a straight cushion (we recommend one of these below).

Based on our reader recommendations, here are the best pink gaming chairs we’d recommend:
