Foldable Gaming Chair Review -- Portable AND Comfortable?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 окт 2024
- When it's game time you want to be comfortable, right? If at home you don't want to move furniture around and space can be limited. On the road a hotel bed isn't an ideal seat, plain and simple. In either event, you want your stuff handy whether it's snacks, drinks, headsets or controllers. This is where the Foldable Gaming Chair comes into play.
Looking like a posh camping chair and with the same ease of portability, this seat offers much more padding for those longer gaming sessions. It supports up to 350 lbs. and was designed to have all of your game session essentials at hand.
We go to a LOT of conventions, so having a take along seat like this is ideal to us! Join us as we unbox and take a closer upper look, and then have a seat and with Tears of the Kingdom's recent release, a Zelda game is the perfect long form gamer session to truly try this chair out!
Full disclosure, while the Foldable Gaming Chair Company DID supply us with this chair, this review and our opinions are 100% pure and truly our own in this review.
What are your thoughts? Willing to pay a little more for quality?

I’ve had this chair for about a month now. I’m a big guy 6ft 240lbs. It is definitely more comfortable than a camping chair, but the support bar does dig into my legs and it bothers me a lot. I think there should be more padding around that bar, especially for the price of the chair. This probably wouldn’t be as much of an issue for a smaller person though. Other than that I really like the chair.
I can see longer periods of time in the chair having that support bar being an issues. Hopefully they'll scroll through some comments like this and consider what could be added to help that. I get the folding and portability, but maybe some sort of foam padding, memory foam style or something.
Tom here--I'm a very heavy guy, so while this isn't absolute perfection, the time I've spent in camping chairs over the years, this is far more ideal and I'm glad to not feel like it'll crumple under my weight.
This is a great comment. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Just got this exact color way today first impressions are very good I found it very comfortable to sit in
That's great to hear! We've still been enjoying it, especially for travel; it's better at hotels than sitting on the edge of the bed or whatever they toss into the room as a chair!
I agree, it’s nice to have a good sit
Hey watch your step, that’s where Tom sits!
lol--if there's one thing my butt loves, it's the hugs that place it between my body and a comfy chair. ha ha
Sounds like it has the cushion for the button pushin'
Honestly, a 350lbs weight rating is crazy good. Regular camp chairs are normally rated for 250lbs.
LOL--"cushion for the button pushin'" Now THAT'S a slogan they could put to good use!
Dude, when I saw that weight rating, that alone helped to sell me; I'm a big guy not about to get any smaller, so this is my kind of chair.
Next time you're around you'll definitely have to take it for a test sit.
Great review guys! Love how you all went into detail on so many functions and considered the accomodations for larger people! Fantastic review process!
Just bought one myself! 🍻
Thank you--hey, we're not small people here so this was a great chance to truly try this seat out. We've still been enjoying it and in just about a month we'll be taking it to a convention to have a few others try out too.
When you get yours, feel free to circle back and let us know what you think!
@@DoYouNerd absolutely will! Looking forward to that convention review 🙏🏿🙏🏿
This looks awesome! Like something my wife would be interested in. You also mentioned going to conventions. This looks like a chair I would want to use if I was working a booth at a convention. The amount of hours they put in at those booths, it would be nice to have something like this to maximize comfort the times you do get to sit down.
We didn't even think of that, but how perfect! Working a booth at a convention and having a bit more comfort and padding like this, oh no doubt, this chair would fit that bill nicely!
This is a very interesting concept. I would agree that long periods of time would get uncomfortable fairly quickly due to the bars.
Absolutely; we took this to MoGameCon with us for others to try and the consensus is the same; that front bar is a pain. We get the need for support, but that gamer sitting stance is unforgiving. As a lean-back plush seat though, totally comfy to lounge.
Going to keep an eye on these chairs. Maybe wait for a V2. A portable gaming chair would be excellent for game conventions!
That's something we're excited to test out--convention trips! Trying out our own comfort but also having others give it a go.
We had a comment saying this may also be a good seat for people running tables at events too.
Don't expect a v2
Yeah, those rocker chairs are made for smaller/shorter people.
Sounds like it could be a nice out and about or hanging at home when you need an extra chair.
I am curious as to how well it would hold up camping and stuff.
The price tag is up there but when you want comfort sometimes you got pay for it.
Put me in one of those rockers and leave me cause I live on the floor now. lol
Really cannot wait to take this on the road and hear some more takes of various sized people. I kinda DO want to take it camping too and really put that durability to the test (I've gone through some chairs over the years).
The price point is a sticker shock, but it really comes into what one is looking for. We've tried the office style gaming chairs but beyond (personally) lack of comfort, I never know where to wheel them to have it close but not in the way. At least I can fold this up and lean in the corner. We, ah, may have a space concern to begin with though. Ha ha
Great review. This is something I might have to seriously consider, as you know my room is small and all I have is the typcial office Gaming chair. Would be nice to have something I can store away adn take out as an alternative seating. In college my Roommatee and I both had camping chairs we would break out of the closet when we were bored of sitting on our beds watching tv or came in handy with guests. This would have been killer back then.
For space saving, this seat is stellar! Sounds like if you have that gaming pedigree with camping chairs already, then THIS will be such a nice upgrade for you. We plan on traveling with this too, sooooo next time we see you, you know where you can plant your bottom. 😉
This looks like a great chair! We take our zero gravity chairs out when there's more than a few of us. We always have to put a chair cushion on it.
I love that it holds an entire bottle of wine 😂
Damn, too bad you were going to SEGE. We coulda tried out that chair 😊😊
Wait, bring THIS chair? You told us to pack the OTHER chair...now I'm confused. lol
Really looking forward to bringing this to conventions and trying it out and having others give it a go. Plus--right? Full body of wine fits...well, it WAS full...what happened to the wine?
Great review you two. I'm probably focusing on the wrong thing here, but is that Grogu goldfish crackers at 4:25?
Thank you, thank you--and they absolutely ARE Grogu Goldfish crackers!!!
Hi! This chair is currently on sale for Cyber Monday ($40 off and Free Shipping, $159). I was thinking about ordering one. Thank you for your video, It was very informative. Do you have any updated notes to share? I'd love to hear how you guys feel about it after using it for the last 6 months.
Hey, thanks for the sale heads up--we made sure to share that out, hopefully in time for a last minute buyer or two out there.
We appreciate your checking the video and as a matter of fact, since we've had this, we've managed to put it to good use ourselves but also at a local-ish convention where we had many people try it out.
The general consensus is that it's nice, very comfy, and incredibly portable considering how much it folds out. That comfort is still mostly for sitting back, however, as that front support bar can be felt under the thighs depending on how much you're a leaner of a gamer (for me, it depends on the game; RPG, I'm slack and comfy; shooter, edge of the seat for sure).
question is: Would you buy another one ?
We're leaning towards yes, BUT, we want to drag this around to a few conventions to us and see what we think of it on the road at hotels and such. That, and the response of those we're visiting, will be the next upsell for us.
That’s pretty cool great review!!
Thank you! It was neat to check this out and we're curious to put it through the paces now as we travel with it.
I think they said 350 pounds is the weight limit I can't wait to get one lol.😢
Tom here--I'm generally pushing the 300 mark and it was such a huge deal for me that this is a chair that actually supports me. I think more people and companies are realizing things like chairs aren't exactly "one size fits all."
What's wrong with everyone piling onto the bed? 🤷♂️😂
That's for the "other" game time. 😉
I also purchased this chair and the front bar digs into my legs. I've emailed about it and no response. Do not buy this chair. For a quarter of the price I could have bought a gig padded champing chair from Costco. How is it that no one comments on the front bar? The padding needs to come out another inch or two and maybe it would be better. I wish reviewers were more honest. I want to return the chair and I'm within 30days. If Francois replied to my email I wouldn't have written this review. Poor customer service once he has your money. Do not buy
Really, really sorry to hear that on the customer support side of things; that's definitely something, no matter the item or service, you never want to hear.
We took this to a gaming convention this past weekend and had numerous people try it out and generally that front bar seems to be the one related annoyance, and honestly it's mostly due to the lean forward stance gamers have. Kicked back in it, all that tried it thought it was great--but that pose and that bar, absolutely is noticeable.
Definitely hoping you can find a better chair though! This one from Costco you mentioned, that might be interesting to get and compare to this; thanks for the heads up!
@@DoYouNerdmaybe you should mention the bar being uncomfortable in your video and I finally got an email back from Francois today
Is Francois Chinese? WHy the heck is this made in China!
ha ha, honestly a lot of things are manufactured in China simply because of how cheap the materials and production are there. The company I work for, our medical supplies are produced there for that exact reason.
