GTRacing’s Luxury Series gaming chairs support 400+ pounds and come pro ergonomic features. These chairs are cheap, full-featured, and in high demand. They sell out fast. Luckily, GTRacing works hard to re-stock these very popular models. At present, two Luxury Series models are available. This article reviews both.
GTRacing Luxury Series gaming chairs offer the same ergonomic features as the world’s best pro esports chairs. Unlike those chairs, Luxury Series models also support up to 400 pounds. On top of that, the the two models now available both cost less than $250.

GTRacing Luxury Series buying advice
These are cheap super-sized gaming chairs that offer plush comfort and solid support. This section provides more insights for potential buyers.
GTRacing warranty

Who should buy Luxury Series gaming chairs?
Luxury Series chairs are best suited to average and above-average sizes of moderate width. With premium padding and features, these chairs are suitable for full-time use.
The main difference between cheap and expensive chairs is the support level. Cheap chairs best support part-time sitting. Sitting full-time in cheap chairs will wear out the leather and flatten the padding.
In contrast, the cold foam padding used by expensive chairs holds up well to full-time sitting. Even after a year of heavy use, you can expect cold foam padding to retain its original shape.
Thus, Luxury Series chairs give you everything that pro gaming chairs do — for under $250. They’re cheap enough to use for part-time pleasure, yet solid enough for full-time use.
What we like and dislike
As with all chairs, there are negatives and positives about the GTRacing Luxury Series chairs.
What we like
If these chairs $350, we’d consider them decent values. You get plush padding, 4D adjustable armrests, and a multifunction tilt lock. You also get a wide, roomy seat that supports up to 400 pounds. These chairs feel super solid.
Buying direct gets you an extended 2-year warranty. That’s the same warranty as leading luxury brands like Arrozi and Noblechairs.
For the price, these chairs offer great value for money.
What we don’t like
The only downside of these chairs is that they are often out of stock. They offer excellent value for money, so they tend to sell out quickly.
Luxury Series alternatives
GTRacing’s new Series is among a special class of reinforced chairs that support up to 400 pounds. Check our Heavyweight Gaming Chair Guide to see how other 400-pound models compare.
Because of its price, these models also rate as affordable gaming chairs. On ChairsFX, we define affordable chairs as those costing between $200 to $300. To see competing models in that price class, check our review of the best affordable gaming chairs.
