If you’re anything like us, you will agree that a gaming chair purchase is just as important as the PC you play on. It’s no good having all the gear only to have to put up with a chair that makes your bum go numb, or offers little to no support.
With past experience, finding the perfect gaming chair can feel like a proper quest. But since being kindly sent the Recoil Centurion Gaming Chair to try out from Bed Kingdom, We can honestly say this might just be the best gaming chair we have owned to date!
First Impressions: Built To Last
Out of the box, the Centurion looks premium. The black and grey fabric gives it a clean, stylish look that fits in nicely whether you’ve got LED lights everywhere or a more toned-down setup. It will fit right in.
The assembly was straight forward. It took about half an hour to put together and there is an instructions manual included to help you along (one that you can actually follow).
Comfort Level: Next-Level Support
Let’s be real comfort is king, especially when you’re logging serious hours on your favourite game. The Recoil Centurion ticks a lot of boxes:
- Reclines to 165° – Perfect for those moments between matches when you need a quick reset.
- Orthopaedic backrest – Perfect if your back hates you! It is super supportive.
- 4D adjustable armrests – Whether you’re leaning into a clutch moment or chilling with a controller, you can adjust the armrests exactly how you like.
- Breathable fabric – No more sticking to faux leather.
Is It Just for Gamers?
Not at all. I think it’s good for everything – gaming, editing videos and even working from home. It doesn’t scream “teenage gamer chair” either, so if you’ve got a semi-professional space and still want comfort, it fits the bill.
With that said, its real power shows when you’re gaming. It’s supportive, adjustable and genuinely helps you stay focused without getting uncomfortable, which, let’s be honest, is one of the biggest distractions mid-play.
Build Quality: Solid Stuff
The steel frame gives it a sturdy, premium feel and there’s no wobble or creaking even when you recline all the way back. This handles all of us, including my 6ft 2 husband. The padding is firm but not hard, we haven’t noticed any sagging with the material yet, unlike other chairs we’ve had in the past.
So, Is the Recoil Centurion Worth It?
At £179.99, it hits that sweet spot between budget and high-end. You’re not shelling out £300+, but you’re getting way more than your average “budget gaming chair.” If you’re after a comfortable, well-built gaming chair in the UK, this one’s absolutely worth considering.
Final Verdict: Game-Changer for the Price
The Recoil Centurion Gaming Chair has earned a permanent spot in our gaming room. It looks amazing and really adds to the gaming experience. I think we will be arguing among ourselves as to who gets to claim it! I think my hubby is favourite, closely followed by our eldest!
Whether you’re a serious gamer or just want to level up your home office setup, the Recoil Centurion Gaming Chair gets a massive thumbs up from us.

This looks so comfortable, I was thinking it would be great for the kids who are both gamers, but I think I want one for my desk instead.
I love that it has an orthopaedic backrest, that’s so useful when you spend a lot of time gaming or working from home.
Looks a great chair!
looks very comfy and could sit in this for hours playing – very smart too!
That looks like a really comfortable chair. I’ll direct my son when he replaces his (he pays for his own and doesn’t worry too much about the expense so long as it’s comfortable) We are a family of five gaming chairs so we know how important it is to get the right one.
Finding an ergonomic chair with good support is vital no matter the task on a computer. It looks very comfortable. #MMBC
