Gaming chairs do a similar job as ergonomic office chairs at supporting good posture. But the best ergonomic chairs also have sliding seats and fancy tilt functions. In a huge development, Noblechairs has evened the playing field with the new Epic Compact. It brings a sliding seat and synchronous tilt to the classic racing-style chair!
The Epic Compact is an exciting new gaming chair recently announced by Noblechairs. It’s an ultra-small gaming chair rated for sizes 4’1″ to 5’7″ (125-170 cm).
On the surface, it looks like a minified version of the original Noblechairs Epic chair. Both have a similar design. Each comes bundled with memory foam lumbar and headrest pillows. Two powerful functions set the Epic Compact apart.
Epic Compact from Noblechairs $399-$419

Conclusion
In recent years, Noblechairs suffered extended stocking issues. As a result, they fell off the radar on ChairsFX. Luckily, the company has sorted its issues and is back in the mix.
Beyond exciting new products like the Epic Compact, the original Epic is also making waves. It’s the official gaming chair of elite German squads like Mousesports and Sprout Esports. As well, Pokimane recently ditched a Herman Miller Aeron for an Epic.
