After researching 65+ gaming chairs, our top pick for PlayStation fans is the Vertagear S-Line 4000 Gaming Chair which offered the best features that make console gaming much better. See our top 5 best gaming chairs for PS4 below.
We picked the VERTAGEAR S-Line 4000 as our top choice simply because it suits well with the PS4’s color palette plus it has overall comfort that makes it stand out from the rest. This is a high-profile chair so expect premium features like 4D armrests, smooth height adjustment and PUC leather.
The Vertagear SL4000 includes a 180-degree reclining backrest that is wide enough for anyone to fit in, 4D armrests and smooth height adjustment. The overall size tends to favor shorter players of around 5’8″ and below; so tall players, you should look elsewhere, although we do recommend the E-WIN Gaming chair instead.
Anyway, the upholstery is made with PUC leather – a mix of PU and PVC – giving the chair a sophisticated finish. The frames are made with aluminium alloy and everything else soft is due to the high density foam. Overall, the chair feels good to sit on even after hours of playing. The assembly is very easy too, thanks to the slide-in technology to make it simpler for anyone who wants to set-up a gaming chair within minutes.
Comfortable, chic yet affordable, the Vitesse Gaming Chair sports a sleek black upholstery – which makes it matching to the default PS4 color – and adjustable parts from top to bottom. It is a great choice as an entry-level gaming chair for the PS4. In fact, for its price, it looks very sophisticated.
The Vitess Gaming Chair has lots of value in its adjustability. You get to do all sorts of personalization based on how comfortable you want your dimensions to be. It has smooth reclining action, adjustable arm swivel, and explosion-proof gas lift. On average, the Vitesse Gaming Chair suits best for players with a height range of 5’6″ and above. Thanks to its high backrest and decent seat size, the dimensions are good enough. The chair is upholstered with PU leather (counting the pillows and padded armrests) and the wheels are finished with pro-PU rubber caster. The overall comfort is good enough for its price but don’t expect the chair to still stay cool after prolonged hours of sitting.
The E-WIN gaming racing chair is one of the best-selling tall chairs available. Thanks to its large backrest and roomy seat size, tall players will have no trouble with this chair.
Fully adjustable parts from top to bottom, the E-WIN Gaming chair includes a 155-degree reclining backrest, configurable armrests and seamless height adjustment. The backrest and seating area are large enough to have some breathing room. It can withstand up to 330lbs. The E-WIN also uses high-density foam and high-grade PU leather with a matte finish. The arms are padded and the height adjustment is supported by a Grade-4 gas lift. The chair is also easily assembled – so much so that even a child can do it. In the end, the chair is very good for tall and large players. Comfortable and sturdy, the E-WIN is designed to withstand very long gaming hours.

If you prefer the office style chair, this will definitely cut out for you. The Furmax Office Chair Desk Leather Gaming Chair is much cheaper than any racing style chair because of a more simplistic approach and limited adjustments but it includes a major perk: lots of space.
Furmax is an office-style chair so that means minimal adjustments and customizations. It can only tilt around 125 to 150 degrees and the arms are not adjustable, but at least the height adjuster is still complemented with a class-3 gas lift for that seamless elevation and descension. The Furmax may be an office-style racing chair but this goes more in favor of average to tall persons because of its wide length and width. Seriously, the Furmax has a lot of great leg space.
Much like the general racing style gaming chairs, the Furmax uses PU leather with PU wheels, metal frames and plastic bases. That also means the lack of pillows but that is not the big issue at all. As for comfort, think of a regular office chair but leathered and with more foam – that’s the Furmax.
X Rocker chairs are more of a recliner-type chair than a racing/office chair. In fact, some players recommend getting this for console play more than a PC gamer chair. For that, we introduce to you the X Rocker Pro Series, complete with seat vibration syncing – making action games and FPS titles feel more immersive especially when you’re fighting in a battlefield.
The X Rocker Pro Series chair includes the following: 4 surround sound speakers, 1 subwoofer, multiple audio jacks, a DVD and MP3 player, and vibrating motors. It has RCA outputs too – meaning you can plug in and play your consoles on the chair so it connects to the TV and PS4 wirelessly. It also swivels in 360 degrees and you can fold it down in case you don’t want to use the chair.
The Pro Series also uses high-grade PU leather and high-density foam. Just keep in mind that they insulate heat as you keep on sitting on it for hours; yet the chair is soft enough to let you sit on it for many long sessions without that usual stiff feeling you get from sitting on an expensive racer chair.
Any of the chairs in this review are a great choice, but if we had to pick the best gaming chairs for PS4 players we would buy the Vertagear S-LINE 4000 as it has the sweet spot in terms of value. The second goes to the Vitesse Gaming Chair – affordable for a racing-type chair with lots of great features. The third spot places the E-WIN Gaming Chair, which is the most ideal seat for tall and big gamers. The other two are equally good but in very preferential reasons; the FURMAX office chair is tailored for gaming but it is best for those who prefer office-type chairs rather than the more mainstream racing-type class. Lastly, the X Rocker Pro Series is catered specifically to the console players – adding more convenience for the gamer.
