Why upgrade your backrest?

The backrest on gaming chairs commonly wears out through foam compression (it loses its support and shape), PU leather peeling (especially at seams and pressure points), or a cracked internal frame. The same issues affect the seat — which is worth inspecting at the same time. Rather than replacing the entire chair, a backrest replacement restores full comfort and often improves on the original.

Step-by-step replacement guide

Step 01

Remove the old backrest

Locate the bolts connecting the backrest to the seat frame — usually on the sides or at the rear. Remove them and carefully lift the backrest off.

Step 02

Verify compatibility

Our universal backrest fits approximately 95% of gaming chair frames using standard mounting hole patterns. Check that the hole spacing on the new backrest matches your seat frame before proceeding.

Step 03

Position and align the new backrest

Align the new backrest with the seat frame mounting points. Make sure it sits straight and all holes line up correctly before inserting any bolts.

Step 04

Secure all bolts evenly

Insert and tighten all bolts evenly, working in a cross pattern. Check that the backrest does not wobble before sitting down.

Step 05

Test and adjust

Sit in the chair and test the recline. The backrest should feel solid, well-supported and comfortable. Adjust the recline tension if your mechanism has a tension knob.

💡 36 kg/m³ foam vs 28 kg/m³ standard

Standard gaming chairs use foam at approximately 28 kg/m³. Our backrests use 36 kg/m³ — firmer initially but far more durable. It maintains its shape and support significantly longer than the original.
