Duelhawk Ultra Gaming Chair review – classy, comfortable… we argue over who gets to use it
WORKING from home made everyone reassess what comfort meant to them.
Be it ergonomic keyboards, natural lighting, peace and quiet… or just somewhere to sit comfortably.
Step forward - or rather, roll forward - the Ultra Gaming Chair from Duelhawk, the new kids on the block in the gaming chair world.
Founders Henry Simmons and Shan Walls are gamers themselves, so well accustomed to the wear and tear sitting for prolonged periods of time can have on our body.
In the Ultra Gaming Chair they have crafted something that feels as fresh in the third or fourth hour as it does in the first few minutes.
Taking delivery of the massive box, it's easy to think the seat will be a mission to put together.
And I must confess I put mine off for a bit while I left the behemoth of a cardboard structure to sit in my hallway.
But once I got round to it, it was an absolute breeze, with the clear instructions and gloves provided a big help.
I received the moonrock fabric ultra gaming chair and was instantly impressed.
It even made a convert of my other half, who was originally against any sort of gaming chair in the house.

The biggest compliment I can pay this product is that now we quabble over who gets to use it on a daily basis - she's a convert.
The adjustable lumbar support mechanism provides relief or even just more comfort where needed.
While if you really feel the need to relax without leaving your desk you can recline the seat to practically horizontal.
The comfort is such you can easily drift off while doing so.
One of the biggest things for me was the size and comfort of the armrests.
Curved at the edges they support your arm and resting on the sharp edge of a desk is a thing of the past.
From a design and aesthetic standpoint, there's basically nothing to fault.
But as one of the pricier models on the market, parting with your hard-earned cash on a chair with an RRP of £499 (although sales can knock £100 or so off) really comes down to how much you value your comfort.
For me, it would be worth it.
