Conclusion and Verdict
So we made it to the conclusion part of our review of the Explore S gaming chair. If I was comparing this model directly to the Explore Racing, the first thing I notice is the cushion. This chair is a noticeable amount firmer. The density of the foam is quite a bit higher just by doing a sit test. I wouldn’t necessarily say it uncomfortable but is pretty firm out of the box and not as soft as the Racing model. The firmness will decrease after use but the extra density in the foam will increase the long term durability. You could say the armrest followed the same route because they are not plastic buy very dense and have very little give. This chair also offer most of the things you would want from a gaming chair, steel frame, aluminum wheel base, steel frame, adjustable reclining, and adjustable arm rests. The style is something you could easily picture if I said I have a new gaming chair to show you. You get the lumbar and head pillows as a nice extra but I honestly have never utilized either for their intended uses. They are usually first thing that gets taken off the chair. This is going to be different for everyone but I don’t feel they benefit me in any way. They make a nice decoration on a desk of shelf though.
The PVC leather design is also easy to maintain, and looks awesome. Even the neck and back cushions use high quality PVC leather.
Benefits of PVC leather:
- Cost – This has been made possible by the use of more efficient production processes in the PVC leather field.
- Maintenance – water resistance and stain resistance of the highest level- even better than leather.
- Appearance – PVC leather is much more resistant to general wearing and external factors, making it a suited choice for a longer life span.
At the time of this review the chair can be purchased for 199 dollars. It was released at 269 and as of right now Newegg has it listed at 199. I am not sure if this is a sale price or permanent. That is a pretty good price for a chair of this category. You can still find these types of chairs going for 400 dollars. And the only comparable feature you are missing on this chair is 4-D adjustable arm rests. These are 3-D and offer quite a bit of options to find that perfect fit. You are not going to come across very many gaming chairs around this price point. You can find a lot of no name brands around 150, so this one at 200 is a great deal. You can sleep well knowing you spent your money on quality when you go with Cougar.
You can find the Cougar Explore S Black Racing Gaming Chair on Newegg and various other e-tailers for around $199.00 USD. Alternatively, you can also buy the Cougar Explore S Black Gaming Chair from Amazon – https://amzn.to/3gRRNvs
