This gaming chair cools you, heats you, and massages you, and the cooling is the part I didn’t expect to love
Most gaming chairs are, when you get down to it, a padded frame with some pillows or other extras thrown in. You get a backrest, a seat, some armrests that move around a bit, and if you’re lucky, a memory foam cushion for your neck and another for your lower back. That’s more or less the template of a good gaming chair, and it has been for years. However, the AutoFull M6 Ultra 2.0 is very decidedly not that. It has two fans built into the seat to actively cool you down, graphene heating elements to warm you up, and vibration motors in the seat and lumbar to give you something approximating a massage. It was the official chair of IEM 2026 if that means anything to you, and it comes with adjustability that borders on excessive. I’ve been sitting in it for a while now after receiving it for review from the company. I’ll be honest: it is a good chair, but it has its share of… oddities, to say the least. Some of the features are genuinely great, whereas others are closer to novelties, and one or two feel cheaper than the rest of the package. There’s one thing for certain, though: this is a lot of chair. Everything works as it should, and compared to the competition, there’s an argument to be made that its $570 asking price is a decent enough deal to warrant consideration for your home office. Would I get it at its MSRP of $900? Probably not, but $570 is a lot more compelling.

The cooling and heating are the best part
Yes, there are fans in the seat
Whenever I’ve told people about this chair, they often say something along the lines of “sorry, what?” when I mentioned the built-in cooling. There are two fans built into the base of the seat, pushing air up through the perforated leather so you actually feel it against you, and it does actually cool you down. I can’t put a hard number on what I felt, but I can tell you it was more than welcome during the Irish heatwave that I experienced while testing this chair out. You can sit down, press the button on the side, and within a few seconds there’s a noticeable stream of cool air blowing up out of the seat. These fans won’t replace air conditioning on a hot day, so don’t go in expecting to be blasted. On a warm afternoon, though, it takes the edge off, and it can go a long way towards improving your comfort when sitting down at your computer for a long time. That alone is honestly better than it sounds, especially if you’re sat in the same spot for hours. Heating is the other half of the same system, using graphene elements rather than fans, with three levels to choose from. It warms up quickly, and on the higher settings it gets properly toasty, which would be welcome in a cold room in the depths of winter. The catch is that it loses its warmth almost as fast as it builds it once you switch off, so it’s very much an on-demand thing rather than something that sits warm in the background. You can’t run both at once, which makes sense given one is blowing air out and the other is trying to hold heat in. Switching between them is simple enough, and honestly, the fact that a chair does either of these things at all is the part that still amuses me. I’ve tried chairs with a fan clipped to the back or a heated pad thrown on top, but having it built into the seat itself, running quietly underneath you, feels like a different thing entirely. Of the two, the cooling is the one I’ve been actively using, given that aforementioned heatwave. It’s also the feature that best justifies a chair like this, because it does something no amount of padding or memory foam can, and it does it well enough that I’d miss it if I went back to a normal chair.
The massage and leg rest are the weak points
Not everything is perfect
The massage promises more than it delivers, which is unfortunate. Unlike the M6 Ultra+ 2.0, this isn’t a shiatsu setup with rolling nodes that dig into your back. Instead, it’s a set of vibration motors in the seat and the lumbar area that buzz away at a few different intensities. It works fine, it’s just weak, and it can be kind of annoying at times. On the lowest setting you can barely tell it’s on, and even at the top it’s more of a gentle hum than anything I’d call a massage. It’s pleasant enough as a novelty, but it isn’t a reason to buy the chair. The leg rest is the other part that feels like it’s there to tick a box. It pulls out from underneath the seat when you want to put your feet up, and the idea is sound, but the execution feels cheap next to the rest of the chair. It doesn’t have the same solid, planted feel that everything else does, and it’s the one component that reminds you there’s a price ceiling somewhere in here. I use it occasionally, but it’s not something I’d miss if it wasn’t there. If you did want a proper massage out of it, as I said, there’s another version with an actual shiatsu system. It’s a different product at a higher price, so you’d want to be sure that’s actually what you want before getting it, though it’s clear that AutoFull realized there was room for improvement given that they launched it in the first place. The one I’ve been using is the standard M6 Ultra 2.0, and its massage is the vibrating kind, so check which one you’re buying if a real massage is what you’re after.
Almost every part of the chair adjusts
The armrests especially, for better and for worse
AutoFull has thrown everything it has at adjustability. The armrests are the big one, marketed as 720 degree armrests, and they move in just about every direction you can think of. They go up and down, forward and back, they rotate, they tilt, and the top surface itself spins around. If you’ve ever wanted an armrest in an oddly specific position, you’ll find it here somewhere. The trouble is that all that freedom comes at the cost of them staying put. Because there’s so much movement built in, the armrests are prone to getting knocked out of position, especially when you’re getting in and out of the chair or leaning on them to push yourself up. I’d get one set exactly where I wanted it, then shift my weight and find it had wandered off. It’s not a dealbreaker, but it is a constant low-level annoyance, and it’s the price you pay for all that flexibility. The lumbar support is the clever one, using a dynamic tracking system that moves with you as you lean and shift rather than sitting in one fixed spot. Sitting upright, it does a good job of rolling with your lower back and keeping you supported. The odd part is when you recline fully, where the mechanism that feels natural when you’re sat up starts to feel very weird, pressing at you in a way that doesn’t quite match the position you’re in. I ended up sitting more upright than I otherwise might, just to keep it comfortable. I would often lie fully flat in my Secretlab Titan Evo NanoGen, which I can’t do here. The headrest, on the other hand, I have no complaints about. It’s a memory foam pillow that adjusts for height, angle, and depth, and it’s one of the better ones I’ve used given that it’s built into the chair. It’s firm enough to actually support your neck rather than just being there for show. Between the headrest and the lumbar, the chair holds you well when you’re sitting normally, which is how you’ll spend most of your time in it anyway.
Powering it over USB brings one real annoyance
Watch that cable
All of these electronics need power, and the way you get it into the chair is over USB. There’s no battery in the box on the standard model, so it needs to be plugged in to do its cooling, heating, and massage tricks. The plus version ships with a removable battery, but on this one you’re working with a cable, or a powerbank if you’d rather not be tethered to the wall. The cable itself is pretty fiddly. A chair moves, rotates, and rolls around, so you have to think about where the cable runs in a way you never would with a normal chair. Route it out ahead of you and it becomes a trip hazard every time you stand up, and it gets in the way of your feet and your chair mat. Running it behind you is the best fix I settled on, keeping it out of the path of anywhere I’d actually walk while still leaving it easy to reach. Thankfully, there’s a USB-A extender in the box, so that certainly helps.
It’s a small thing, and once you’ve found a routing that works you stop thinking about it. Still, it’s something to sort out early, because this is essentially a chair with a plug, and you have to treat it like one.
The real appeal is having everything in one chair
Alternatives don’t have this
The price of $570 (which I haven’t really seen it go significantly above, even if it’s technically way more expensive), puts it right alongside a base model from the likes of Secretlab. On paper, you’re paying roughly the same money for either chair. The difference is what comes included. With a Secretlab, the base chair is the base chair, and the comfort extras are all things you buy separately. The memory foam head pillow, the upgraded lumbar pillow, a footrest, they all cost extra and add up quickly, and even after all that, there’s no cooling, no heating, and no massage available at any price. The M6 Ultra 2.0 technically doesn’t come with the footrest or the pillow out of the box, but I also haven’t seen it ship without those as thrown in free extras. I’m sure that deal will eventually end, but it’s still ongoing now, and has been for well over a month. The individual pieces on a chair like a Secretlab are often nicer than what you get on this one. The build quality has a slight edge, the armrests stay where you put them, and the materials feel great, though those are noticeably less premium than the leather of this particular chair. However, when you’re buying those pieces one at a time, and not one of them will cool you down or warm you up. AutoFull’s whole pitch is that you get most of it in a single box, and for the money, it manages to compete surprisingly well. The M6 Ultra 2.0 is a decent chair with a good cooling and heating system, a solid headrest, and enough adjustability to fit just about anyone, wrapped around a handful of features that are all at least useful, even if some are executed poorly. It has massage, but that feels weak, it has a leg rest, but it feels cheap, the armrests are adjustable in any direction you could ever imagine, but they just won’t stay still, and the lumbar support is great until you fully recline. None of those are dealbreakers on their own, and they don’t stop it from being comfortable where it counts. All in all, AutoFull packs an enormous amount into one chair for the money. If you’ve ever eyed up a gaming chair and its pile of paid add-ons and wished the whole lot just came in the box, this is more or less that chair, quirks and all. I don’t love every part of it, but I don’t regret sitting in it either. The cooling, as weird as it sounds, is something you really don’t appreciate until you’ve lived with it.
