Streamer Chairs: Which Gaming Chair xQc, Ninja and Pokimane Use
Which chair every streamer uses, why Secretlab and Herman Miller dominate setups, and what to check before buying a chair for long gaming or streaming sessions.
When you stream six or eight hours a day, your chair stops being a luxury. In the setups we reviewed two philosophies repeat: the racing-style gaming chair and the ergonomic office chair.
The most common chairs
| Chair | Type | Used by |
|---|---|---|
| Secretlab Titan Evo | Gaming | Pokimane, IShowSpeed, Summit1g, Ibai, AuronPlay |
| Herman Miller x Logitech G Embody | Ergonomic | xQc, Ninja, Tfue, IlloJuan, Vegetta777 |
| Herman Miller Aeron | Ergonomic | Shroud, Knekro |
| Razer Enki | Gaming | Asmongold, Alexelcapo |
| GT Omega Pro | Gaming | Faker, Cristinini |
Secretlab Titan Evo: the reference gaming chair
The Secretlab Titan Evo has built-in adjustable lumbar support, 4D armrests and deep recline, and comes in several sizes. Its gaming look works on camera, which matters when streaming.
Herman Miller Embody: the pick for the longest sessions
The Herman Miller x Logitech G Embody is an ergonomic office chair adapted for gaming. Its flexible back follows your spine instead of holding you in one position and breathes better than faux leather. It’s expensive, but chairs in this class come with long warranties. The Herman Miller Aeron, Shroud’s chair, follows the same idea with a mesh back.
What to check before buying
- Size and seat height: with feet flat on the floor, knees should be roughly level with your hips.
- Adjustable lumbar support: the key in long sessions.
- Adjustable armrests: at desk height so your shoulders stay relaxed.
- Material: mesh and fabric breathe better than faux leather.
- Warranty: it makes a difference at the high end.
No chair makes up for sitting still for hours: stand up and stretch regularly. Ergonomics guides like OSHA’s stress changing posture.

FAQ

What chair does Pokimane use?

Gaming chair or ergonomic office chair?
Racing-style gaming chairs look bolder and usually recline further; ergonomic office chairs (Herman Miller, Steelcase) fit the lower back better and breathe more in long sessions. Both show up in the big setups.
