Boulies Master Rex 2026

I was originally looking at a regular office chair, but decided on the new Master Rex 2026 because I wanted something I could work in during the day and relax in afterwards. My desk is in the bedroom, so I didn't fancy having a separate gaming chair taking up more space.

The armrests were the first thing I played around with. They rotate much further than I expected and there are quite a few different ways to position them. I usually have them pointing slightly inwards when I'm working, then change the angle when I'm gaming. The lumbar support is also adjustable using the knobs on the back. I found the adjustments straightforward enough.

What I enjoy most is how the chair feels when leaning back. The rocking movement is smooth and doesn't feel loose, and I can lock the tilt when I find a position I like. Pulling out the footrest makes it quite comfortable for watching a film or having a break.

The seat is definitely on the firmer side, so anyone expecting a really soft cushion might need time to get used to it. I don't mind that personally. Still early days, but I'm happy with how it's working out.

Le Master Rex est installé à mon bureau et je m'en sers aussi bien pour travailler que pour me détendre. J'aime particulièrement le mécanisme de bascule. Quand je lis de longs textes, je le laisse déverrouillé pour pouvoir bouger un peu de temps en temps. Le mouvement est fluide, sans les à-coups que j'avais avec mon ancien fauteuil. Quand je dois écrire, je le verrouille à nouveau.

J'ai réglé le soutien lombaire pour qu'il soutienne légèrement le bas de mon dos. Les molettes permettent d'ajuster la hauteur et la profondeur, ce qui me convient bien car je n'aime pas avoir trop de pression à cet endroit. Le revêtement en tissu est agréable au toucher et les bords arrondis de l'assise ne me gênent pas, même quand je replie une jambe sur le siège. C'est une position que je prends assez souvent chez moi.

Love this chair! I'm not really into those super soft seats you sink into, so this one suits me nicely. It's got a good bit of firmness to it but is still comfy to sit in. Even after a few hours at my desk, the cushion still feels supportive rather than flattened out.

Bought the Master Rex mainly because of the built-in footrest. I spend a fair bit of time watching films on my computer and it's nice being able to stretch my legs out without moving to the sofa. The back goes quite far down too, so I can almost lie back when I want to. Exactly the sort of thing I was looking for.

My legs used to go numb quite a bit after sitting at the computer for hours, but I've noticed it happens much less since getting this chair. I can also put my feet up and lean back a bit, which is so comfy when I'm gaming or just relaxing. You can tell it's a quality bit of kit as soon as you get it out of the box.
