Looking to refresh your setup with a new gaming chair?
We’ve rounded up our favorite gaming chairs available ahead of Amazon’s big Prime Day sale.
We’ve also made sure to include picks from a range of price points.
Before we dive in, let’s briefly discuss the benefits of gaming chairs.

Best of all, just about everyone can grab this chair.
The main concessions between the Evo Lite and standard Evo is versatility and customizability.
It also offers fewer upholstery options, but the Prime Leatherette and Softweave fabric are both solid choices.
Mavix currently has four gaming chairs, each of which share a similar design.
Unlike most of the other chairs on this list, the M9 doesn’t have a racing seat look.
Instead, it’s designed to resemble a high-end ergonomic office chair with subtle flair.
The M9 is highly adjustable, allowing you to find the right options that work for you.
The backrest reclines to 127 degrees, and a tension dial provides even further customization for your recline.
The backrest can easily be moved up and down, which changes the positioning of the lumbar support.
It’s also fitted with roller blade-style wheels for a smoother roll and comes standard with 4D armrests.
From a comfort standpoint, the Mavix M9 is a step above the other contenders on this list.
Mavix M9’s comfort and wealth of customization options make it a clear standout in its price range.
you could also add an Elemax massage pad, footrest, and full-rotation armrests at separate costs.
If you like the M9’s design, another great option is the Mavix M4.
Where it mainly differs is the materials.
The M4 uses cooling mesh on both the backrest and seat cushion.
It also has an adjustable headrest that removes the need for an additional pillow.
It’s available in four fabric color options and 10 wheel colors.
The leatherette upholstery and high-density molded foam padding also make for a comfortable seat.

Instead, it only offer two-dimensional adjustments.
