In my experience, gaming chairs often come and go for one reason or another. Perhaps the lumbar support isn’t right, the seat base isn’t wide enough, or it develops too much wear or an irritating creak after a few weeks of heavy usage. That’s right, I’m a big gamer in more ways than one – and that often reflects in the gaming chairs that I opt to use.
I’ve been fortunate enough to review one of the best gaming chairs I’ve ever sat on – the Noblechairs Hero Black Edition. This sumptuous, sturdy seat is one of the finest elements of my setup; a reliable foundation that supports me for several hours a day.
In this Noblechairs Hero Black Edition review, I’m going to break down why it’s just so good.
What’s New About The Noblechairs Hero Black Edition?
Let me open this Noblechairs Hero Black Edition review by stressing that I’ve got my hands on something really special – a custom-printed seat. It’s a new service offered by Noblechairs, and it’s phenomenal. I simply posted my images and the team expertly applied them to the back of this wondrous chair. The result is a high-quality, long-lasting, and bright print that stands out nicely against the deep black of the hybrid leather.
That’s where we’ll kick this off – the leather.
The Noblechairs Hero Black Edition uses a unique cover made of vinyl and polyurethane. It’s soft to the touch, doesn’t make you sweat, and you won’t stick to it in even the warmest weather. It feels super durable, and it’s wrapped around a cold foam cushioning that doesn’t relent, even after hours of use. If you pair all that with the velour and memory foam cushions that come in the box, plus the borderline military-grade aluminium and solid steel frame, you’ve got a seat that’s as comfortable as it is dependable – even if you’re looking for the best gaming chair for large people.
Full Features of the Noblechairs Hero Black Edition
I cannot praise this chair enough. It’s wide enough to support a larger frame, and the ‘racer’ style back simply opens up to accept you and welcome you to your new home. The soft-topped armrests are 4D, which means you can adjust them to suit your exact needs, and the integrated lumbar support is adjustable to match the curvature of your spine.
It’s heavy and chunky as all hell, but that’s a good thing – it’s indicative of the robustness of this chair. I previously owned a Noblechairs Hero Edition and it lasted me three years before I moved on to something else – and even when I moved on, the chair was in near mint condition, aside from a little wear to the custom design (it was a Fallout-themed chair).
Let me stress again – if you’re looking for a gaming chair for bigger people, you cannot sleep on the Noblechairs Hero Black Edition. It supports a maximum user weight of 330 lbs (150 kg) and everything from the gas lift mechanism to the levers that you use to adjust the chair just feel so solid and high quality.
Is The Noblechairs Hero Black Edition Worth It?
It’s time to wrap up this Noblechairs Hero Black Edition review.
Is this gaming chair worth the £399.95 asking price (before shopping costs)?
Absolutely – it’s without a doubt the best gaming chair I’ve ever used. It’s supportive, soft, breathable, and most of all, it’s comfortable. It accommodates people of all sizes but is perhaps best suited to those with a larger frame, and the custom printing that Noblechairs offers means it’s one of the best chairs for esports players and teams.
It’s easy to assemble, simple to maintain, and you’re unlikely to need to repair it, even after months of use. It’s noble by name and noble by nature – if you’re in the market for a new chair, consider the Noblechairs Hero Black Edition.
