Homall Gaming Chair Review – How Comfortable Is It? Update 12/2024

When I decided to buy a Homall gaming chair to review it, I had low hopes. Since this was the least expensive gaming chair we’d ever purchased ($120 on sale), I didn’t have high hopes for its reception. I’ve even written the opening lines in my head: “You know the saying, you get what you pay for?”

Let’s just say I was taken aback by it.

How We Tested the Homall Gaming Chair

For the purpose of this review, I bought a Homall gaming chair on Amazon like any other shopper would. I used the chair for at least two weeks straight, as we do with all of our chairs.

Homall Gaming Chair Specs at a Glance

Here is a quick look at the technical specifications of the Homall gaming chair before we get into all the juicy details. A few of these measurements are mine, for the sake of providing the most precise data possible:

• Between 18 and 21.5 inches should be the height of a chair’s seat from the floor.
• Seat dimensions (in inches): 15.25″ x 20″
• Dimensions (inches) of Backrest Height: 32″
• Tilt and recline from 90 degrees to 155 degrees, lockable backrest
• The standard range for the height of fixed armrests is from 25.5 to 29.5 inches.
• Adjustable headrest and lumbar support pillow sets
• Weight per unit: 51.40 ounces
• The advertised maximum capacity is 260 pounds.

At present, the Homall classic S-Racer comes in five different colors: red, white, black, green, and blue.

Packaging

In an effort to improve my in-house gaming setup, I recently acquired a Homall S-Racer Gaming Chair. The chair was packaged in a box that weighed about 40 pounds, but was small enough to be easily handled.

It was disappointing that the box was just made of cardboard. My first impression wasn’t helped by the chair’s packaging, which was typical of gaming chairs and featured flashy words and neat graphics.

There was a warning not to cut the tape on the outside of the package unless I wanted to risk slicing the leather inside. Following their advice, I inverted the box and inserted the key from the bottom.

After cutting open the box, I found several pieces sandwiched between Styrofoam and cardboard. I’m not totally green to this, so I made sure to take detailed notes on everything. A few of the plastic pieces were completely foreign to me, and I wondered how they would be utilized.

The hydraulic lever and some of the other parts were moved to a separate box for safety. See some images of the parts all arranged and ready to be put together below.

Assembly of the Homall Gaming Chair

The Homall chair’s light weight made assembly a breeze. The backrest could be propped up as I attached it to the seat, and all the other parts were manageable by a single person. All of the caster wheels slid easily into the base, as well.

However, I did encounter a problem at this stage that both indicates possible quality control issues and demonstrates the company’s excellent support.

To my horror, I discovered that the seat was missing the two screw holes on either side when I attempted to attach the backrest to the seat.

For me, everything worked out fine on its own. As I sat on the seat, I could feel the two holes through the leather and knew I had to make them with a screwdriver.

Homall Chair Size and Target Audience

The advertised weight and size capacities of the vast majority of gaming chairs are grossly exaggerated.

The manufacturer claims a 260-pound weight limit for the Homall gaming chair. The actual number is, according to the chair’s measurements and the components used to create it, Approximately 6’2″ tall, and around 200 pounds.. To learn more, check out the “Construction Quality” section.

Without the bolsters, the width of the seat is precisely 14.5 inches. Total height is 20″ when including the arm rest bolsters.

Because of the narrow width, I don’t think anyone weighing more than 200 pounds would be comfortable sitting here. I wouldn’t feel comfortable recommending this chair to anyone weighing more than that, even if the seat were wider, because of the nylon base.

The Homall chair can be adjusted to a height between 18 and 21.5 inches (from the floor to the top of the seat cushion)

The highest possible seating position is quite lofty. Nonetheless, I would say that the ideal user height for the Homall gaming chair is someone who is 5’10” or taller due to the chair’s relatively small backrest. between 5’4″ and 6’2″

Features and Adjustments

Remembering that it is, in fact, a cheap gaming chair, its capabilities are limited.

• Reclining and tilting backrest (up to 155 degrees).
• Strain regulator for tilt
• The capability to turn off tilt exists.
• The use of two throw pillows
• Chairs with fixed armrests (not Adjustable in height)

Applying pressure causes the backrest to tilt about 20 degrees and can be locked in place. Under the seat, you’ll find a tension knob. In its most slack position, the backrest rocks easily.

The Homall chair, like most gaming chairs, has a reclining backrest. About 155 degrees behind the forward tilt The backrest can be rocked even when fully reclined. a reversal of another 20 degreesas long as you’d like. Even though it’s not as much as the GTRacing chair, it’s plenty for me to put my feet up on the desk and take a little nap.

The two throw pillows provided are of a standard design. The fact that the neck pillow is attached by threading it through a hole in the backrest is fantastic, as it allows me to adjust it by several inches to put it exactly where I need it for comfort.

By adjusting the seat height, you can adjust the armrest height from 25.5″ to 29.5″. Both armrests, when adjusted to their lowest position, fit neatly under my regular 29″ high desk.

Is it a deal breaker if the armrests cannot be adjusted? Truthfully, that’s not always the case. If you only use the armrests of a chair to prop your arms up while taking a break, perusing your phone, or lounging back, the height of the armrests is less of an issue.

A different chair (like the GTRacing chair) with adjustable armrests that can be brought up to desk surface level without adjusting the seat height would be preferable if you plan on using the armrests even while working (such as typing or writing).

The chair’s fixed armrests aren’t a deal breaker for me because I normally slide it under my desk so that my elbows can rest on it while I work. Learn that about yourself first.

How Comfortable Is It?

The first rule of any office chair is that it must be comfortable, regardless of how much money you spent or saved on it.

When it came to that, the Homall blew me away.

So, let’s begin with the back support. It’s generously cushioned, as opposed to the thin piece of fabric that serves as the backrest on many cheaper gaming chairs.

Also, the cushion on the chair was much more comfortable than I had anticipated. It’s high density foam, and it’s about four inches thick Compared to the GTracing chair, that appears to be more durable.

Last but not least, the throw pillows did the job. You can define the lumbar pillow as Explicitly noticeable for those who, like me, prefer a firmer pillow support for their back.

In conclusion, if you are an average-sized person (200 pounds or less and 6 feet or less in height), I think you will find the Homall gaming chair to be quite comfortable.

Build Quality

For such a low cost, obviously some corners were cut. However, the Homall chair’s overall construction quality surprised me for a low-cost option.

The chair’s build quality impresses me. In that regard, it’s on par with the GTracing Chair.

The padding on the seat is worth highlighting in particular because it is denser than the padding on the GTracing chair and thus should retain its shape for a longer period of time.

That being said, two things bring home the fact that this is still very much a low-priced gaming chair. The nylon (hard plastic) base and the Class-3 gas lift are the two most noticeable differences from, say, a GTracing chair’s Class-4 lift. While the chair’s frame and seat are each rated to hold over 300 pounds, I would only recommend it to people weighing less than 200 pounds.

So, if you’re an average-sized guy or gal, you’re good to go, as this chair appears to be well-made and will last for quite some time.

S-Racer Speed Series Light

Pricing as of right now: $99.99

There are both light and dark variants of the Speed Series chairs. In spite of its low price ($99.99 on Amazon), the Dark chair is not worth buying. The $99.99 light editions are the better buy. Both have a full 180 degrees of reclining comfort and fixed arms.

The Speed Series models are distinguished from the rest of the lineup by their distinctive racing-inspired designs and plusher seat padding. A fractal design is embroidered on the front, and the seat is striped in a speed-racer color scheme.

Homall gaming chair with footrest

At this time’s price: $89.99

Chairs with homal padded footrests are great for those who enjoy playing video games on home consoles in the living room. Relax in luxurious gaming comfort with the footrest retracted, just like in a La-Z-Boy recliner. Having a footrest built into the seat makes this chair function similarly to any other ergonomic desk chair.

Every model with a footrest can be swiveled back 160 degrees. It’s a little more compact than regular Homall seating.

• Seating Depth x Width: 18.7″ (W) x 19.7″(D)
• Height x width of the backrest: 20.6″ (W) x 30.5″
• Variation in seat height: 14.3-17.5″
• In terms of size, I would say:Maximum height and weight of 280 pounds (5’5″-6’0″).

These are the best value among well-known brands of gaming chairs with footrests. The non-adjustable armrests are fine for occasional use in the living room.

Your options for a suitable gaming chair number four different models. The costs are cheap overall.

RGB lighting chair

Present Value: $159.99

There are two notable upgrades to this otherwise standard Homall chair. To begin with, it’s the only chair of its kind from Homall to feature 3D armrests. Additionally, an RGB accessory is included to customize the look of your seat.

You can change the color temperature and select from four different lighting modes with the included remote control. You can select from a static light show, a rolling light show, a breathing light show, or a multicolored stacked light show. Keep in mind that you’ll need to plug a USB cable into your chair in order to get the lights to work.

Get 3D armrests and stunning RGB effects for a steal of a price. That’s a lot of bang for your buck, which is why this model is so popular.

How to use a Homall gaming chair

To what end isanyThe purpose of a gaming chair is to encourage healthy posture while sitting for extended periods of time. Chairs made of homoll can handle any activity.

In the first place, the semi-firm resilience of the padded seat and high back support envelops the body. Which means you can sit for hours on end without ever feeling uncomfortable.

Second, there is a lumbar pillow that can be attached to the back. Raise or lower it so that it sits comfortably in the small of your back. Use the headrest pillow in the same way, to prop up your neck. While seated, your back, shoulders, and neck will all be in better alignment if you do this.

Feeling tired? Recline the chair’s back with the flick of a switch. You could also use the rocking feature. Either option will improve circulation, which in turn will give you more energy.

Simple user tips

If you want to get the most out of your chair, sit with your back against the backrest and your feet firmly planted on the floor. To achieve a state of neutrality while sitting, one should adopt this posture. When sitting, it’s best to maintain a neutral posture to reduce strain on your body.

Yet, staying home has its advantages.anyMuscles can still get fatigued from staying in one place for too long. Use the reclining feature of your chair to solve this problem. It’s recommended that you recline the chair to an angle of about 135 degrees when you want to kick back and relax, and 110 degrees when you need to get work done. In sum:

1. Put both of your feet down firmly.
2. Make sure the lumbar support sits in the natural curve of your lower back. Press the pillow that serves as a head rest into the base of your neck.
3. Extend your back so that your whole upper body rests on the chair’s back. Because of the pillows, you can rest assured that your spine will remain in a neutral position.
4. To get up and move around while sitting, simply toggle the backrest recline. Doing so will keep your hips moving and increase blood flow.

Who should buy a Homall gaming chair?

The best results from using a homalpart-time hours.

Best for casuals

Homalls are great as a seat for doing homework or playing video games. You can relax knowing that you’ll have a good few hours of work or gaming in comfort.

Not ideal for full-time use

However, its performance as a permanent fixture in an office is below par. One problem is that the arms aren’t adjustable, which can put strain on your back over the course of a workday. Also, the padding will lose its shape more quickly.

Homall Gaming Chair Final Verdict

In the right hands, the Homall gaming chair can provide years of comfortable service. That is, if you’re on a tight budget, don’t weigh more than 200 pounds, don’t measure more than 6’2″ tall, and don’t need a lot of legroom and don’t lean on your armrests very often while typing or playing a computer game. You won’t find a better deal elsewhere, especially at this price.

If you need more adjustability, consider the slightly more expensive GTRacing Chair, and if you’re a larger person, the much more expensive Anda Seat Dark Demon.
Pros:

• A thick, 4 inch seat cushion that is firm and supportive
• Extra padding for your posterior
• Generally solid construction
• Most affordable gaming chair we’ve tested so far

Cons:

• Seating dimensions are inadequate for those who are particularly tall or broad.
• In addition, the class-3 gas lift and nylon base are not appropriate for users weighing more than 200 lbs.
• Some squeaking from the chair.
• The armrests can’t be adjusted for height.
