Mechanical Master (mobile gaming)
Price: $359 $399
The Autofull Mechanical Master is an innovative chair optimized for mobile gamers. It features multi-directional arms than can support all types of seated activities. At a desk, the armrests work as typical 4D armrests.
Away from a desk, the arms can adjust up, down, backward, and forwards. They can also swing out (away from, or closer to the seat). The armrest tops also swivel 360° and can open to compartments that store headphones, peripherals, or snacks.
Mechanical Master sizing
This is a big, beefy chair with support for up to 390 pounds. Smaller sizes will enjoy a spacious fit. Wider bodies will find more snug, body-hugging support.

- Backrest width x height: 23.2″ (W), 36.6″ (W)
- Floor to seat range: 16.9″ to 20″

- Size rating: 5’7″ to 6’0″; up to 390 pounds (the recommended max is 260 pounds)
Mechanical Master features
With the footrest retracted and the armrests in default mode, this model serves as a high-end ergonomic office chair. Away from the desk, you can kick up the footrest and align the armrests to support your use of a mobile phone or gaming controller. The multifunction armrests make this the most advanced mobile gaming chair on the market.
Summary of features:

Mechanical Master summary
The Mechanical Master is our top-rated video game chair. This chair also ranks highly on our review of the best gaming chairs with footrests.
It works well as a desk chair but really stands out as a living room gaming recliner. The retracted footrest plus deep recline provides a comfortable zero-gravity sitting experience. When mobile or console gaming, the armrests also supports the arms, shoulders, and neck. That takes the pressure off the spine, ensuring a comfortable and healthy sitting experience.

Slam Dunk (big and tall footrest chair)
Price: $319 $359
The Autofull Slam Dunk is a basketball-themed big and tall gaming chair. The chair’s global ambassador is Boston Celtics 6’7″ tall power forward Gordon Hayward. He uses this chair while anchoring an amateur Fortnite team.
The Slam Dunk is one of the few big and tall footrest gaming chairs on the market. It’s also the only big and tall footrest model with pro ergonomic features.
Slam Dunk chair sizing
The Slam Dunk chair is an even larger chair than the Mechanical Master. It has a wide, deep seat and extra-large backrest, making it suitable for even pro basketball player sizes.
- Seat width x depth: 23.2″ (W) x 23″ (D)
- Backrest width x height: 35.3″ (H), 35.4″ (W)
- Floor to seat range: 17.3″ to 20.4″
- Size rating: 6’0″ to 6’8″ and up to 400 pounds
Slam Dunk chair features
The Autofull Slam Dunk is a modified pro esports gaming chair. Other pro models come with a multifunction tilt mechanism. That lets you tilt and lock the seat at different angles. Instead of a tilt mechanism, the Slam Dunk chair has a retractable footrest. Both options make it easy to alter your sitting angles. Doing so every few often is a good way to keep muscles active and blood flow optimal. A multifunction tilt mechanism works better when sitting upright at a desk. In contrast, the Slam Dunk chair’s footrest recline mode works better when lounging in the living room.
Summary of features:
- Functionality: 4D armrests; recline to 160°, retractable footrest.
- Comfort:Â high-density foam padding; neck and lumbar support pillows.
- Upholstery:Â tri-colored PU leather.
- Warranty:Â 3-year warranty
Slam Dunk chair summary
Footrest gaming chairs are a popular option for living room gamers. When gaming on an Xbox or PlayStation in front of the TV, these chairs bring several advantages. For one thing, the tall backrest and support pillows keep the spine aligned when sitting. For another, the retractable footrest gives the option of lounging in a zero-gravity position.
The problem for big-bodied gamers is that most footrest gaming chairs are too small. As well, the few large enough to support 400 pounds have limited ergonomic features. The Slam Dunk solves these problems with generous dimensions, rich ergonomic features, and a super-sturdy retractable footrest.

T1 Hero (internal lumbar)
Price: $289 $329
On Autofull.com, this model is called the “Big and Tall”. In China, it’s called the “T1 Hero”. The latter name is more appropriate since this model has a maximum weight capacity of 330 pounds. That falls far short of the 400-pound weight limit of other big and tall gaming chairs.
Even so, this chair has spacious dimensions and decent ergonomic features. The star feature is a sophisticated internal lumbar support system.
T1 Hero sizing
This chair has above-average dimensions suited for moderately large users. It has a smaller weight capacity than other big and tall chairs. Even so, the flat wide seat provides enough room for those with thick legs or wide hips.
- Seat width x depth: 21.6″ (W) x 21.2″ (D)
- Backrest width x height: 23.2″ (W), 33.8″ (W)
- Floor to seat range: 19.2″ to 22″
- Chair height: 50.7″ to 54.3″
- Size rating: 5’7″ to 6’3″; up to 330 pounds
T1 Hero features
The Hero T1 has decent features. It lacks the multifunction tilt-lock of other high-end chairs. That means you can rock the seat, but not lock it at angles. It also has 3D armrests instead of the 4D type of premium chairs.
Even so, this chair has one spectacular feature. The internal lumbar support system works by turning a knob on the side of the chair. The internal device can extend outwards by 7″ to support the lumbar curve. Over top of the mechanism goes a layer of high-density foam padding. Over the foam and leather cover, the height-adjustable lumbar adds another seven inches of depth.
This means you can adjust the lumbar pillow to fit perfectly into the small of your back. After that, adjust the internal lumbar until it reaches the perfect depth to support your body.
Summary of features:
- Functionality: 3D armrests; internal lumbar support; adjustable recline to 155°.
- Comfort: high density foam padding; neck and lumbar support cushions.
- Upholstery: combination of black PU and Carbon PVC leathers.
- Warranty: three years
Hero T1 chair summary
Our biggest grip about this chair is the name. Although it has spacious dimensions, the Autofull Big and Tall isn’t ideal for extra-large users. Only those with moderately thick proportions will fit into this chair.
In China, this model is called the “T1”. That’s a much more slick, modern name for a very slick chair. This is an attractive office-style chair with interesting features and an excellent price (using the coupon code). The internal lumbar system is the star feature. It offers both height and depth-adjustable lumbar support. That feature is usually reserved for the most expensive ergonomic chairs.
If you’re looking for a solid ergonomic office chair on a budget, consider this model.

Neonpunk LPL chairs

Autofull Neonpunk chairs come with a white or black leather base, accented with teal and dark pink trim.
Neonpunk chair sizing
These chairs provide solid support for up to 330 pounds. However, they work best for slim sizes. Most people under 170 pounds of average height should find these chairs a wonderful fit.

- Backrest width x height: 22″ (W), 33.8″ (W)
- Floor to seat range: 18.8″ to 22.8″
- Size rating: 5’6″ to 6’0″ and up to 330 pounds
Neonpunk chair features
Given the high price and LPL pedigree, features are surprisingly basic. These are essentially cheap gaming chairs with pro-quality upholstery. Chairs lack a multifunction tilt lock, meaning you can’t tilt and lock the seat at angles. Instead, it offers a basic rocking function with a range of 25 degrees.
- Functionality: 2D armrests; recline to 155°, retractable footrest.
- Comfort:Â high-density foam padding; neck and lumbar support pillows.
- Upholstery:Â tri-colored PU leather with a black or white base color.
- Warranty:Â 3-year warranty
Neonpunk chair summary
These are good-looking chairs with great pedigree. Fans of China’s LPL will recognize the designs as the same ones used in tournament play. On the downside, features are basic.
The main attraction of these chairs is the styling and LPL connection. Another is durability. Like all Autofull chairs, these models come with a solid 3-year warranty.
