SONGMICS OBG079GD06 Gaming Chair with Footrest, Spring Seat Cushion & Synchronised Armrests

What it is and what problem it solves

The SONGMICS OBG079GD06 is an ergonomic gaming and office chair built around the idea that long sitting shouldn’t feel quite so punishing. It combines a spring seat cushion with a softer, high-density foam layer, aiming to reduce the fatigue that can creep in during extended sessions. On top of that, the design leans heavily into comfort and support features you’d typically want at a desk: an adjustable backrest, lumbar support, a soft-touch headrest, and a footrest to give your legs a proper rest.

This is the kind of chair you’re likely buying when you want something more supportive than the basic “gaming chair” look—without immediately jumping to premium adjustable systems that can be a faff to set up and fine-tune.

The essentials: comfort, support and adjustability

A lot of chairs promise comfort, this one is built to work around it in a few different ways. The backrest adjusts between 90° and 135°, which matters because sitting perfectly upright for hours is rarely realistic. Lean back slightly for breaks, then return to a more upright angle when you’re focused.

There are also synchronised armrests, so the arm position is meant to move in step as you adjust the chair’s recline. In day-to-day terms, this can help avoid that awkward feeling where your arms suddenly feel too high or too low.

Support-wise, you get a lumbar cushion and a soft foam headrest. If you tend to slouch when tired, having those two points available can take the edge off. And with the extendable footrest, you’re not forced to have your legs dangling or constantly repositioning your chair height.

What stands out in day-to-day use

The seat is the headline. The spring seat cushion uses evenly distributed springs paired with softer, high-density, high-resilience foam. That combination is intended to feel comfortable rather than rigid—useful if you do a lot of desk time and you find simple flat cushions start to feel “bottomed out”.

Then there’s the cover. The PU surface is described as easy to clean and quiet, while the perforated design is meant to be breathable so the seat stays cooler while you’re playing or working. In practical terms, that’s the difference between a chair that’s just “comfortable enough” and one that you don’t dread using in warmer rooms.

Things to bear in mind before you buy

It’s an ergonomic chair with a fairly broad comfort setup, but it’s still important to be realistic about fit. Comfort features like headrest position, lumbar support feel, and the way the footrest suits your leg length depend on the person, not the brochure.

Also, the spring seat cushion will suit many people, but if you strongly prefer a very firm seat (or hate any “give”), you may find it a touch too cushioned. It’s not marketed as a rigid support seat—its whole purpose is cushioning and fatigue relief.

Finally, the product info says it’s “easy to clean and silent” with a PU surface, but you’ll still want to treat it like any other upholstered chair: wipe spills promptly and avoid abrasive cleaners.

Who it’s for (and who should look elsewhere)

It makes sense if you spend long periods at a desk and you’re after a chair that covers several comfort basics: recline range, lumbar and head support, synchronised armrests, and a footrest to keep you settled. It’s also a decent match if you want something that’s described as stable and built for regular use—especially if you like the idea of a seat designed to ease fatigue rather than just cushion.

You may want to skip it if you’re extremely sensitive to seat firmness, or if you need very specific adjustments beyond what’s listed here. It’s more about comfort support features than it is about highly technical adjustability.

Buying verdict

Is it worth it?

It’s worth considering if your main goal is a more supportive, comfortable chair for everyday gaming and office work, with a seat designed to feel forgiving over time and a recline setup that won’t leave your arms at an odd angle. The synchronised armrests, lumbar support and extendable footrest all point to a chair that wants you to sit “properly” rather than just plonk yourself down.

It may not be the best choice if you know you prefer a very firm, minimal-spring seat feel, or if you’re after fine-grain adjustability not mentioned in the details.
