AndaSeat Kaiser 4 XL vs AndaSeat Kaiser 3 XL

How they differ in real use

Built from our ergonomic gaming chairs scoring, each product's published specifications, and verified owner feedback — not hands-on testing.

Both the AndaSeat Kaiser 4 XL and the AndaSeat Kaiser 3 XL made our Top 5 Gaming Chairs for Tall Men, at #2 (best premium) and #3. AndaSeat's current big-and-tall flagship and the successor to the Kaiser 3 XL below it. AndaSeat rates the XL size for users from 5'11" to 6'11" and up to 395 lbs, the tallest height rating on this list, and its 51 cm (20 in) seat depth answers the short-seat complaint reviewers raise about the Kaiser 3 XL. It adds 6D armrests, a 4-level pop-out lumbar with height and depth adjustment, and a magnetic memory-foam head pillow on a 22mm steel frame. It sits just behind the Titan Evo XL because its backrest reclines only to 135° (plus a 15° rocking range) against the Titan's 165°, and the Titan's cold-cure foam gives it the edge in long-session comfort; it also costs noticeably less than the Titan. The previous-generation Kaiser, still a heavy-duty big-and-tall chair. AndaSeat rates the Kaiser 3 XL to a 6'8" maximum height and 395 lbs, and backs it with a MagSwap 4-way adjustable lumbar, magnetic swappable 4D armrests, and a steel frame under a lifetime warranty. It reclines further than its successor (160° versus 135°), but it ranks behind the Kaiser 4 XL because independent reviewers note its seat cushion runs a little short for very long thighs, which is exactly what the newer chair's deeper seat addresses, and its 4D armrests offer fewer adjustment directions than the Kaiser 4's 6D.
