Anda Seat premium gaming chairs
Anda Seat’s premium chairs come with high-end features, extra-thick padding, and spacious seating dimensions. These chairs have 4D armrests, a multifunction tilt mechanism, deep recline, and high-density molded foam padding.
Anda Seat Fnatic Edition
Anda Seat price: $499
Back in May, Anda Seat announced a partnership with Fnatic. That is a UK-based esports team. Based on total career earnings, Fnatic is the fourth most successful esports team of all time.
The Fnatic edition is the premier esports design in Anda Seat collection. Top teams like Fnatic typically train 10-12 hours each day. These hours are mentally taxing and very intense. To stay fresh over such long periods, having a high-quality ergonomic chair is essential.
The chair uses the trademark Fnatic black and orange color scheme. The Fnatic logo appears on the front of the chair in orange and on the back in a dark outline. It’s also written along the top edge of the chair. Even so, the branding isn’t overbearing. These designs work even if you’re not a fan of esports or Fnatic.
Fnatic gaming chair specs
Like all of the high-end Anda Seat chairs, Fnatic editions come fully loaded. Included are rich ergonomic features, spacious dimensions, and some sweet design tweaks.
Here’s a summary of the key specs:
The Fnatic edition has the same rich features as the other high-end Anda Seat chairs. Each chair comes with a neck pillow and an extra-large lumbar pillow.
- Functionality: 4D armrests (9 cm height range); recline to 160°; lockable tilt mechanism.
- Comfort: extra-large neck and lumbar pillows.
- Design: dark PVC upholstery with orange trim. The control levers under the seat are also a brilliant orange.
The PVC leather is thicker and stronger than PU leather blends, but also less breathable. In very hot weather, this chair can get a bit sticky against bare skin. On the plus side, the material is nearly indestructible.
Anda Seat rates the Fnatic chair to support users from 5’9″ to 6’8″ weighing up to 441 pounds. That said, the recommended weight capacity is 330 pounds. Broadly, these dimensions should support most people of average sizes and above. Smaller users will find a spacious fit, while extra-wide users will find it more body-hugging.
- Seat width & depth: 22.83″ (W) x 21.65″ (D) | 58 cm (W) x 55 cm (D)

Fnatic chair advice

Kaiser Series gaming chair specifications
The Anda Seat Kaiser Series is our #3-rated heavyweight gaming chair. It offers rich ergonomic features, heavyweight support, and up to a 6-year warranty.

The Kaiser Series has the same dimensions as the Fnatic chair. The recommended size is 5’9″ to 6’9″ and 176 pounds. As a super-heavyweight chair, the Kaiser Series might be too narrow for people with very wide hips.

T-Pro 2 Series
Anda Seat price: $449.99
The Anda Seat T-Pro 2 Series has a similar shape as the preceding chairs. The main difference is its ‘AD Alpha Linen Fabric’ upholstery.
T-Pro 2 chairs come in a choice of all black, or a blue/ grey base white black trim. Fabric gaming chairs have upsides and downsides.
Positives include enhanced breathability, a softer feel, and comparable durability to PVC leather (both are basically indestructible).

This chair’s specs are comparable to the previous models. Here’s a summary:
- Functionality: 4D armrests (9cm height range); recline from 90-160 degrees; multifunction tilt-lock.

T-Pro 2 advice
The T-Pro 2 Series is a nice alternative to the Fnatic and Kaiser Series chairs. It has similar features and dimensions, with three pleasing fabric designs.
Fabric upholstery works especially well on a work-from-home office chair. Against the skin, the material feels soft and luxurious, like a pair of luxury pajamas.
Available from Anda Seat in America, the UK, EU, and Australia. * Also available from Amazon in its US and UK stores (USD price $449.99).
Captain America Marvel Chair
Anda Seat price: $469.99
In December 2020, Anda Seat partnered with Disney on a series of Marvel Superhero gaming chairs. There are two premium chairs (Captain America and Spider-Man) in the collection, and two consumer-class models (Iron Man and Ant-Man). At present, these models are only available in the United States.
The Captain America gaming chair has the same shape, features, and dimensions as the T-Pro 2, Kaiser, and Fnatic chairs.
The front features a tri-color American shield design. On the back, Captain America’s shield is embroidered in white.
Quick specs

The result is a brash design that could serve as a showpiece in a home gaming battle station. Combined with the spacious dimensions and rich features, expect years of colorful ergonomic luxury.

Spider-Man superhero chair
Anda Seat price: $499.99
The brilliant Spider-Man edition has a taller and thinner backrest than the other models.
It also pays a striking tribute to everyone’s favorite wall-crawler. Against a blue base, the webbed Spider-Man ‘face’ on the front and back of the chair gives a pop of brilliant red. Intricate black webbing patterns adorn the front and back.
Quick specs
- Functionality: 4D armrests; recline to 160°; multifunction tilt.
- Comfort: memory foam headrest; extra-large memory foam lumbar pillow.
- Upholstery: blue PVC leather base with red PVC accents; black webbed embroidery.
- Seat width x depth: 22.4″ (W) x 20.4″ (D) | 57 cm (W) x 52 cm (D)

Even if you’re not a comic book superhero fan, this chair’s design will light up a room. If that’s the effect you’re looking for, the Anda Seat SPider-Man edition is a great choice.

Anda Seat consumer gaming chairs
Anda Seat’s consumer-class chairs have stripped-down ergonomic features compared to pro models. This collection gives you lower prices, thinner padding, and less adjustability.
For example, these models lack the multifunction tilt-lock of the high-end models. That means you can rock the chair, but not lock the seat at angles.
These models also use a less luxurious type of PVC leather. It’s thick, a bit less breathable than the premium blends, but almost indestructible.
Dark Demon
Anda Seat price: $349.99
The Dark Demon was one of the original Anda Seat Designs. Back in 2018, it was one of our favorites. Sadly, Anda Seat discontinued the Dark Demon line in late 2019.
In fact, it wasn’t a discontinuation, but rather a revamping. Recently, Anda Seat relaunched the Dark Demon with an upgraded design in two color options.
One thing we really like about this model is the flat seat style. Instead of ridged edges restricting leg movement, the flat style provides more freedom.
Flat seats provide a more comfortable experience over long hours. At the same time, with legs splayed, it’s easier for good posture to fall out of sync.
Dark Demon specifications
Beyond the flat seat style, the Dark Demon also differs from premium chairs with a conventional tilt. Use the single lever under the seat to adjust the height, rock the seat, or lock it flat.
Aside from those differences, ergonomic features are the same as Anda Seat’s high-end models.
- Functionality: 4D armrests; recline to 160°; seat rocking plus tilt-tension.
- Comfort: regular-sized neck and lumbar pillows.
- Cover options: all-black PVC leather or black PVC with red color accents.
The Dark Demon is an average-sized chair. Most users with moderately thick legs or wide hips should find a decent fit.
- Seat width & depth: 21.26″ (W) x 22.32″ (D) | 54 cm (W) x 56 cm (D)
- Backrest width x height: 20.47″ (W) x 34.17″ (H) | 52 cm (W) x 87 cm (H)
- Size rating: fits people 5’6″ to 6’8″ tall; up to 350 pounds | 167-203 cm; 158 kg weight capacity
Dark Demon advice
The Anda Seat Dark Demon is a tough, rugged gaming chair. The PVC leather feels indestructible and the parts feel solid. The flat, wide seat also provides a more comfortable seating experience.
On the downside, the Dark Demon doesn’t look as spectacular as Anda Seat’s premium chairs. Also, the padding doesn’t feel as generous.
Even so, users on a budget wanting a high level of luxury should consider these models. With the extended 6-year warranty, expect a Dark Demon to serve as a solid long-term ergonomic workhorse.
Dark Demon from Anda Seat $349.99
Available from Anda Seat in America, the UK, EU, and Australia. * Also available from Amazon in its US and UK stores (USD price $369.99).
T-Compact fabric chair
Anda Seat price: $349.99
The T-Compact chair has the exact same features and dimensions as the Dark Demon chair. The main difference is the upholstery.
T-Compact chairs come upholstered in linen fabric. Choose an all-black, grey and black, or black and blue design.

Pretty in Pink
Anda Seat price: $379.99
This model comes in a soothing pink and white color scheme with 3D adjustable armrests.
Its dimensions resemble the Dark Demon. However, the Pretty in Pink chair has ridged edges, while the Dark Demon’s are flat.
Pretty in Pink specs
This chair has basic features and compact dimensions suitable for adolescents and up.
One difference between this chair and the Dark Demon is 3D armrests instead of 4D. The 4D options move up/down, back/forward, side-to-side, and at angles. The 3D version lack angle adjustments.
- Functionality: 3D armrests; recline to 160°; seat rocking with tilt-tension.
- Comfort: regular-sized neck and lumbar pillows.
- Cover options: premium pink PVC leather with white trim.
The Pretty in Pink chair has similar dimensions as the Dark Demon:
- Seat width & depth: 21.26″ (W) x 22.32″ (D) | 54 cm (W) x 56 cm (D)
- Backrest width x height: 20.47″ (W) x 34.17″ (H) | 52 cm (W) x 87 cm (H)
- Size rating: fits people 5’6″ to 6’8″ tall; up to 350 pounds | 167-203 cm; 158 kg weight capacity
Summary
Among the best pink gaming chairs, the Pretty in Pink chair is the most expensive. But it has consumer-level features, not pro ones.
On the positive side, this model’s six-year warranty beats all others. Expect a solid, comfortable seat built to last for years.

The thick PVC leather is easy to clean with a damp cloth and nearly indestructible. The steel frame is guaranteed for life and feels super-sturdy.
Jungle Series specs
The key downgrade is the armrests. Jungle versions are 2D. They can adjust up and down, plus forward and backward.
- Functionality: 2D armrests; recline to 160°; lockable tilt mechanism.
- Comfort: regular-sized neck and lumbar pillows.
- Cover options: premium PVC leather in all-black, or black with red trim.
The Jungle chair is the smallest in the Anda Seat product line. This is a slim-fitting model best-suited to average and small sizes.
- Seat width & depth: 20.47″ (W) x 20.28″ (D) | 52 cm (W) x 51.5 cm (D)
- Backrest width x height: 21″ (W) x 32.48″ (H) | 53-82.5 cm

Anda Seat chair advice
To choose the right Anda Seat chair for your needs. start with choosing a more expensive premium model or a cheaper consumer-class one. The former provides more luxury and adjustability. Both provide excellent back support with superb durability.
Anda Seat color theory
After choosing the premium or affordable price class, the next step is to pick a model. Using color theory can help narrow down your options.
The visible light spectrum is an electromagnetic radiation spectrum visible to the human eye. Colors strike the retina as unique wavelengths that feed the hypothalamus with different inputs.
That part of the brain governs crucial functions like appetite, body temperature, and sleeping patterns. In other words, the colors in an environment affect the people within.
For example, sleeping in a bedroom painted bright red is unpleasant. It’s a long, powerful wavelength that stimulates a high-energy ‘fight-or-flight’ instinct. In contrast, gaming in a red chair can help you get pumped up.
- Warm colors: warm colors reflect more light, sending stronger wavelenths to the brain. Psychologically, yellow is the strongest warm color. Red inspires masculinity, excitement, and fight or flight.
- Cool colors: cool colors promote a sense of peace and introspection. Blue is the color of the intellect. While red tends to raise blood pressure, blue does the opposite. Green is also a calming color that recalls nature.
- Neutral colors: grey, black, and white are achromatic (neutral) colors off the color spectrum. These reflect the least amount of light, which has been shown to slow the heart rate. While chomatic (color wheel) hues liven up a room, achromatic furniture give off a more formal and harmonious dynamic.
Anda Seat pros and cons
Here are the general pros and cons about Anda Seat gaming chairs.
Likes: comfortable, luxurious, durable chairs
Across the entire product line, it’s hard to find quibbles about Anda Seat gaming chairs. Most come upholstered in thick PVC leather designed to last for years. Build quality is superb.
The new linen fabric chairs are also a nice addition for work-from-home power users.
Anda Seat’s new 6-year warranty extension program is a testament to the durability. No other gaming chair on the market offers longer protection.
Dislikes: ridged seat edges
My one quibble with the premium chairs is the seat style. Even though these models support 440 pounds, the ridged seat edges limit the usability of these chairs. The point of those edges is to keep the legs locked into a neutral position.
It works well but can be limiting. Extra-large users with wide hips or very thick legs will find the side wings annoying. The last Anda Seat chair with a flat seat style was the original T-Pro chair.
Adding this feature to its premium collection will make these chairs truly usable for extra-large sizes. At the same time, smaller users can enjoy enough room to sit cross-legged.
Conclusion
Anda Seat makes high-end pro-quality gaming chairs, and also consumer-class ones. The former all support at least 440 pounds and come with spacious dimensions. They also boast premium features like 4D armrests and a multifunction tilt-lock mechanism. These chairs match up well with the best big and tall luxury chairs in the world.
Anda Seat’s consumer-class chairs have lesser ergonomic features than the luxury models. They also cost more than comparable offerings from other brands. On the plus side, they are well-built and very durable. Even if you don’t get the extended 6-year warranty, you can expect your Anda Seat chair to last that long.
Anda Seat gaming chairs are available for direct sale in the United States, the EU, UK, and Australia.
