If you’re looking for the ultimate geeky gaming chair then this is it. Rival brands such as Secret Labs offer various special edition variants of their chairs that incorporate designs from content like Cyberpunk 2077 or Game Of Thrones, and while they do this well, it doesn’t hold a candle to the effort that has gone into the AndaSeat Marvel range.
The chair design is immediately identifiable as Spider-Man, and includes a lot of nice finishing touches, such as the ‘eyes’ located on the headrest, formed from solid textured plastic to emulate the appearance of Spider-Man’s mask. The colors are bright and scratchresistant, with accompanying memory foam pillows to support your head and back should you need them.
We found the Anda Seat SpiderMan Edition gaming chair to be plenty comfortable enough without these extra additions, but the constant theming through all the additional accessories should be applauded. Every meeting or video call was met with a compliment on the styling of the chair, so this is sure to be a hit with fans of the Marvel franchise.
The chair also comes with a circular floor mat to protect your flooring or carpets from the heft of the chair. The floor mat is the only bit of this collection we feel doesn’t deliver a premium feel, as it’s stiff and easy to get caught under the wheels. Visually speaking though, it works to complete the Spider-Man aesthetic and certainly does its job to protect your flooring (we spilled water onto it during our review process and no liquid leaked through to the carpet underneath).
The armrests are 4D, meaning that you can adjust their height, position, and rotation. This level of customisation is intended to adapt the chair to its environment and aid in preventing wrist discomfort.
The main body of the Anda Seat Spider-Man Edition is a high density molded foam that promises to retain its shape for years to come. The racing seat style of the chair isn’t medically ergonomic, but we found it to be extremely comfortable for lengthy periods of sitting and didn’t exacerbate any joint or back issues.
The chair is coated with hard-wearing PVC leather which makes it resistant to scratching and spillage, and as such would make this a great option for kids.
The reviewer measures in at 5ft 6-inches, and found the height of the pillow to be completely unusable, but this didn’t ruin the overall experience too much, as we found the pillow wasn’t necessary when trying to get comfortable in the chair.
The chair offers plenty of room to sit with legs crossed or extended, and the additional memory foam lumbar pillow is a great addition for anyone who requires a little support. Overall, sitting in the Anda Seat SpiderMan Edition gaming chair for lengthy periods is extremely comfortable, even for a shorter individual who can’t use the additional extras.
