I’ve been using the noblechairs Icon and Hero chairs literally every day for so long that reviews of the Icon and Epic models still had an intro sequence… [Play intro] Like seriously who has time for an intro any more… Anyway, in layman’s terms that’s just over 4 years, with the majority of that time spent in the faux leather Hero. It’s held up incredibly well despite me using it for far, far too long literally every day and is showing little to no signs of wear. But, there’s a problem with it, in fact with all of these leather or faux leather chairs: just how sticky and nasty it feels on bare skin, especially when it’s hot which since this is meant to be a gaming chair is pretty much a given. Enter this, the Hero TX, a fabric gaming chair and one that I’m in love with.

The Hero isn’t the only fabric option, they’ve launched a full TX line with the Hero, Epic and Icon all included. They cost the same as the faux leather models, and beyond the fabric are otherwise pretty much identical. With that said, there are some nuances to the new material, so I’m going to cover this with the assumption you haven’t seen my review of the faux leather model.

First things first, the unboxing and assembly. They package the chairs well meaning it’s really unlikely you’ll have any shipping damage on any of the parts – if you are buying the UK you can rest easy knowing they DON’T use Yodel or Hermes to deliver these, as they would find a way to wreck anything no matter how well packed it is. Getting everything out the box, you’ll find the star base, backrest, lower seat section with one armrest pre-attached and the other to the side, the tilt mechanism, head and lumbar cushions, a box with the bolts, 60mm casters and gas cylinder inside, and a rather nice instruction booklet with illustrations of how to get everything set up.

Building it is also pretty easy. I like to start with the star base, pushing each castor wheel in at the end of each arm, then drop the gas cylinder into the center and it’s sliding cover on top of that. Next I attach the second arm rest to the seat base. I’m using a ⅜ ratchet and 5mm allen/hex bit to help speed up the process, and occasionally a Ryobi impact driver, as I’m somewhat physically disabled but they include an allen key that doubles as a phillips head screwdriver along with the bolts so you don’t need any extra tools if you don’t already have them.

Once the arm is on you can then screw in the tilt mechanism. That just needs four bolts on each corner – just make sure you install it the correct way around as I’ve done it wrong before and had to swap it round after. You’ll want to press the two paddle handles onto the stems on the tilt mech, they are keyed so make sure they are lined up correctly, then you can place the seat base onto the gas cylinder. Then it’s just installing the seat back, so remove the screws that come preinstalled and push it between the two arms protruding from the base and install all four screws making sure the left free floating arm from the base is squarely in line with the ratcheting arm on the right. Lastly install the plastic covers over those bolts, it’s a single small phillips head bolt. It can be a bit fiddly to get it lined up but once they are in that’s it built.

Features wise, the Hero model is the most equipped. You of course have the standard height adjustment from the gas cylinder, plus locking base tilt in 4 different positions. The backrest tilts too in around 10 different positions, although doesn’t tilt completely flat but that’s probably a good thing for stability. This also includes their “4D armrests” which are very much standard for the market these days, offering the ability to slide forwards and backwards, twist outwards or inwards (both using the inboard button at the front of each armrest), slide outwards or inwards with a stem mounted button, or raise or lower with an outboard stem mounted button.

That’s all fairly standard, what’s special here is the knob on the right side of the chair. That controls the integrated lumbar support, which ratchets in or out to your desired position. It ranges from perfectly flat to a sizable bulge you definitely feel – for me a middle ground position generally works best but since it’s adjustable you can tweak it to what you want at that time. It’s not height adjustable though which is a bit of a shame.

As for the new fabric, I really like it. It’s a semi-coarse fabric, it’s not too harsh or itchy on bare skin, nor is it overly fluffy or soft. It’s a good balance and to me anyway feels really nice. It’s impressively both breathable and resistant – I tested dropping some water on it and the vast majority preferred to run off the surface rather than soak in. The water I left in place did slowly soak in, but a gentle wipe cleared the majority of it and what stayed dried quickly. From my testing with it over the last few weeks it seems to do a good job of venting any sweat and odours you might be… depositing… while using it. Only time will tell if it can hold up to daily usage as well as my faux leather model, but from feeling how thick the material is where it meets the frame on the bottom I’d say it stands a good chance.

The Hero frame in general is great, offering a fairly flat base section with just slightly raised bolsters on either side. If you have wider hips and larger thighs like me, you’ll find this nice and comfortable. The seat back has a very Recaro race seat aesthetic with both lower side bolsters and upper winged sections, and extends high enough to support your head (depending on your height of course). The lower bolsters are quite deep, but are angled outwards and are already in a fairly wide position meaning I’d expect the majority of people to fit comfortably between them. The upper wings are also pretty flat allowing for broad shoulders to fit well.

I’ll include the specs on screen so you can compare to your own measurements, but for context I’m 6ft or 183cm, I’m around 90kg and have fairly wide hips and broad shoulders. I also have arthritis in every joint in my body so I can be more sensitive to discomfort and positioning.

Comfort wise I’m plenty happy with this design. I use the base tilt to slightly recline so my feet are comfortably resting on the floor, the backrest moves as I need it, as does the lumbar support. The chair is nicely padded – it’s not soft but it’s not rock hard either allowing for a nice amount of cushioning while still supporting you fully.

I know this is labelled as a gaming chair, but one of the benefits of getting a noblechair over the countless other brands is their certifications. This Hero model is a DIN EN 1335 certified office chair, and the black edition version even lists both ANSI/BIFMA X5.1 Office chair certification and a TUV tested gas pressure spring. What that means is they are actually certified for use in offices and at least somewhat ergonomic, at least as far as the standards go.

Personally, I’m really happy with the Hero TX. I do prefer fabric chairs especially when it’s hot, I don’t like my arms sticking to the faux leather, so this is a great option. Obviously I can’t tell you how it’ll hold up after months or years of usage, but if it’s anything like the standard Hero I expect it to do pretty well. As with all of the noblechairs, and in fact most gaming chairs, this isn’t exactly cheap. It’s listed on OverclockersUK for around £365, which I know isn’t the cheapest, but you are getting a chair that from my previous experience with the standard model should easily last you multiple years and will support you well throughout that time. It’s comfortable and for me well worth the money.
