If you’re in search of the best chair for streaming then you’ve come to the right place.
A high-quality chair is essential for long streaming sessions. It should be able to support your body without any aches or pains and generally improve your whole playing experience.
To achieve such comfort, adjustability is a major factor for any chair. Everybody’s shape/ size is different, which is why it’s important to look out for adjustable features in the arms, lumbar, and seat depth, etc.
With this in mind, we will cover the best “racing style” and “ergonomic” chairs on the market right now.
What is the best chair for streaming?
15. BestOffice PC Gaming Chair
The BestOffice PC Gaming Chair is one of the best sellers on Amazon. It features a high back with lumbar support, a headrest, and flip-up arms. Furthermore, the racing style design comes in several faux leather colors including Camo, Grey, and Black/ White.
Besides the low price, what we like about this chair is that it’s incredibly easy to assemble. The package includes all the necessary tools as well as step-by-step instructions that are clear and concise. It should take no more than 15 minutes to put together until it’s ready to use.
In terms of the build, the seat is one part, and the base and arms are separate. A hydraulic spring on the base attaches to the bottom of the chair, and the arms attach using bolts. All of the components are BIFIMA certified to offer a maximum weight capacity of up to 250 lbs.
For under $100, you can’t go wrong for the price.

14. SPACE Seating AirGrid Mid-Back
The AirGrid SPACE Seating Managers Chair has a modern design that is built for functionality and comfort. It features multiple ergonomic adjustments including a 2-to-1 synchro tilt, pneumatic seat height adjustment, and angled adjustable arms.
There are a few different profiles of this chair with this one having the mid-back. The mid-back version helps to keep the weight down and particularly supports the lower back. Unfortunately, the back is not adjustable but it does have some give it to when you lean back against it.
In terms of the build, the cushioned seat has mesh on the sides and vinyl on top to protect against wear. The seat is not over or under stuffed and has some sturdiness when sat in. It’s not as comfortable as some of the most expensive ergonomic chairs on this list but is ideal for part-time streaming.
If you’re in search of a low-lumbar support style of chair, this is one of the best on a budget.

In terms of the build, the seat bolts onto a 5-point base much like other racing-style chairs. The heavy-duty roller blade wheels and 5-point base can withstand up to 240 lbs. However, it’s worth noting that the seat width is quite narrow, although it’s recommended for users up to 6’1”.
For stand-out features, you’re getting a 135-degree tilt lock, flip-up armrests, and a class 4 hydraulic gas lift that lets you glide up and down safely. Undoubtedly the biggest selling point is the delightful Velour padding that lines the top of the seat and backrest..

The Hbada office chair blends ergonomics with modern aesthetics. Inspired from aircraft design, it has a unique “Y-shaped” chair back that provides extra strength to the build. One of the main reasons for this is to support the fully reclining system that can flex back between 90 – 150 degrees.

1. Herman Miller Embody
The Herman Miller Embody is the vision of more than 20 leading physicians. To create a health-positive chair that mitigates the negative effects of sitting for long hours, it has an innovative ergonomic design that focuses on pressure distribution, natural alignment, and support.
The build of the Embody is somewhat unique to other chairs on the market. Instead of having a traditional foam cushion back, it uses a suspended rubber canvas that is supported by a plastic skeleton structure. This allows the chair to conform to your back as you tilt or flex in any direction
In the same way, the seat design is essentially like sitting in a hammock. A series of plastic coils suspend a breathable, elastic netting from the frame to remove the need for a solid foam block. This is especially comfortable as it reduces any fatigue that might occur from flattening the foam.
Just as you would expect with this chair, the Herman Miller Embody is fully adjustable. You can set the seat pan depth, the height, tilt, and much more.
If that’s not enough, it also comes with the Herman Miller 12-year warranty!
