How to get it
- Tested for: 110 kg
STYRSPEL gaming chair helps you play at the top of your game. Adjust the headrest, lumbar support, armrests and the seat height and depth – the mesh material keeps you cool when the game heats up!
Product details
The mesh material of the backrest lets air through, which is extra nice when a match drags on.
This chair gives your arms a comfortable support and reduces tension in your neck and shoulders since the padded armrests can be adjusted upwards/downwards, forwards/backwards and inwards.
The armrests are attached to the backrest, so they recline together with the backrest to provide support for various activities like when you’re playing on your phone.
You sit comfortably since the chair is adjustable in height.
The synchronised seat and back tilt follows your body movements and adjusts the chair to the correct position.
The design of the high backrest gives your body, neck and head a sturdy and comfortable support.
You can adjust the height of the headrest to give your neck a nice support when playing – and when you want to relax between matches.
Your back gets the support it needs because the seat depth can be adjusted.
You can adjust the lumbar support to suit you and your needs.
The safety castors have a pressure-sensitive brake mechanism that keeps the chair in place when you stand up, and releases automatically when you sit down.
The base contributes to both movement and stability – and works as a footrest too.

Accessories for STYRSPEL
Level up with the right hardware
Gaming is a profession for thousands of people and a hobby for millions. One thing that unites gamers worldwide is the love of esports and the challenges on the screen. And if we’re honest, sometimes very long sittings and sore muscles. With STYRSPEL you can fine-tune your posture and get the edge you need to comfortably reach new levels and a new personal best.
“Even if you’re not a gamer yourself, you probably know someone who is; there’s one in almost every family constellation,” says product developer Ola Kristensson. “Many gaming chairs on the market look like racing chairs, but we wanted to do something different, that breathes IKEA, with everything that entails.”
Loaded with function and comfort
“With STYRSPEL you get a look and functions we feel are missing in conventional gaming chairs,” he says. The backrest and the extra wide seat are compatible with everyone who appreciate comfort by the screen, and who doesn’t? “We’re using a strong mesh fabric instead of padding. It gives a pleasant cooling effect if you sit for many hours and feels softer compared to other mesh fabrics on the market. We have also tried to make it intuitive to understand how to adjust the chair so you easily can get a comfortable position, no matter how you prefer to sit or what body type you have.”
Adjust according to your game
STYRSPEL has other functions especially developed for gamers, but which others also can appreciate, like the pivoting armrests. “It’s because you want different distances between your elbows depending on if you play on a console, computer or mobile. With STYRSPEL you can fine-tune your posture and sit relaxed, regardless of what device you play on.” It’s a chair with several features that can contribute to higher scores and better gaming experiences. And that’s also good news for anyone who lives with a gamer and maybe needs to borrow a comfortable chair every now and then.
Designer thoughts
Designer thoughts
“The idea with STYRSPEL was to design a dedicated chair for gaming – and at the same time take advantage of the extensive home furnishing knowledge that IKEA has. It had to be good-looking yet have all the necessary features and ergonomics needed when a match drags on for hours and hours. The inspiration for the design comes from the wire-frame models often used in 3D computer graphics. I hope that gamers of all ages will love this chair and want to use it for many years."
