Rank #5 in Best Gaming Chairs 2026: 10 Ranked, Plus a 1,136 kg Capacity Claim
SONGMICS OBG077G01 Gaming Chair, 54 cm Seat, Slate Grey
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The SONGMICS OBG077G01 is a slate grey gaming chair with a footrest, adjustable headrest and lumbar support, listed at £91.79. It takes the number 5 slot in this guide, with a 4.1-out-of-5 rating from 476 ratings and a maximum weight recommendation of 150 kg that appears in both the product name and the specification field — the two places a buyer looks, and on this listing they agree.
The figure that earns it a place here is the seat. The bullet describes a 54 cm wide cushion, 10 cm thick, and says it is wide enough for cross-legged sitting. A £149.99 chair elsewhere in this guide calls a 375 mm (37.5 cm) seat 'roomy'. Put those two numbers next to each other and the adjective does less work than it looks. The weight rating is worth noting too: 150 kg is a figure a chair can plausibly carry, unlike the £89.99 chair in this set whose spec field claims a 1,136 kg maximum weight recommendation. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing — we have not sat in the chair or measured it ourselves.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“Excellent gaming chair, great value for money, easy to set up. I'm a 110kg guy and it is robust enough to support my weight with zero issues, bought a few other brands, some 4 times more expensive over the years that have failed or broke. This is by far the best I've purchased.”
Verified purchase“It's fantastically comfortable.The back support is excellent, as is the head rest, the foot rest could be a little better, it's completely horizontal, a slight downward angle would be much better. But overall for £100 it's a bargain compared to other chairs.It doesn't auto recline like almost all the other chairs out there, it has a lever that is used to set the angle. Need to adjust it? Pull or push the lever and the back rest will move up or down according to your preference.”
