Rank #9 in Best Gaming Chairs 2026: 10 Ranked, Plus a 1,136 kg Capacity Claim
SONGMICS Suede Gaming Chair with Pocket Spring Seat
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The SONGMICS Gaming Chair with footrest is the ninth chair in this guide. At £139.99 it is a suede-covered model built around a 53 cm pocket spring seat, with 4D armrests, a back that locks between 90° and 135°, and a metal five-star base on a Class-4 gas cylinder.
Capacity is where this listing talks to itself. The seat bullet says the steel frame "safely holds up to 200kg". The model description field for the same OBG095GD01 chair says "180 kg Capacity". Both sentences sit on the same Amazon page, and only one of them can be the weight the chair is actually rated to. Everything on this page is taken from that listing, not from any testing we have carried out.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“Bought to replace a cheaper seat that lasted less than 3 months. Instantly observed the great build quality. The padding is great, akin to that of a car seat, and the lumbar pillow is non intrusive and comfy. Leg rest does feel a bit flimsy but im a heavier guy. Overall really impressed with it.”
Verified purchase“At 140 at time of purchase excellent value for money”
