The Autofull M6 Ultra 2.0: The Perfect Chair for My Goblin Lifestyle | Review

During my two months of testing the Autofull M6 Ultra 2.0, it felt like this gaming chair was tailor-made for me. After my $100 Amazon chair started falling apart, I was on the lookout for a new seat, but I kept running into the same issues with every option I tried.

Here’s the deal: I work at a standing desk that’s set pretty low, which means armrests often clash with the desk instead of fitting comfortably around it. At 5ft 5, I also find that most gaming chairs have armrests that are too wide for my frame. Plus, I have a tendency to sit like a goblin—crossed legs, hunched shoulders, and a spine that’s definitely going to remind me of my choices later in life. I game like a taco, and finally, I’ve found a chair that gets it.

The Autofull M6 Ultra 2.0 checks all the boxes for comfort and build quality, plus it comes packed with some impressive features. While it’s listed at $999.99, I noticed it often dips to around $600 – $800 during my testing, making it a strong contender among the best gaming chairs available. It’s definitely earned its spot in the lineup.

Unboxing the Autofull M6 Ultra 2.0 is a two-person job, but I managed to put it together solo. The assembly process is straightforward, aided by a large instructional poster and a video. There are a few discrepancies between the two, and some diagrams could be clearer, but overall, it’s a simple matter of screwing the right pieces together. After some back and forth with the instructions, I had it set up in just over an hour.

There are only two color options available, unlike some other chairs that come in a rainbow of designs. The Autofull M6 Ultra 2.0 is available in black and gold or white and blue. I was eager to try the blue, but ended up with the black and gold. I’m pleased with it; the subtle gold accents enhance the sleek black design without overwhelming it.

The black color is applied to a soft PU leather that’s perforated for better airflow (and those cooling fans we’ll discuss later). While some might prefer fabric, the leather maintains its shape while remaining flexible, showing no signs of wear after two months. The base feels incredibly sturdy, supporting up to 396lbs, which is the highest weight capacity among the top gaming chairs I’ve tested.

When I first sat in the chair, I appreciated the flatter seat design without high bolster sides. This shape is different from many other chairs on the market, which may not suit everyone’s taste. However, it allows for comfortable cross-legged sitting without harsh edges digging in, and it makes cleaning up crumbs a breeze.

The only concern I have is with the armrests. They have some give, but the surface is already showing minor scuffs from being under the desk. It’s not a huge issue, but the raised edge is starting to show slight wear from moving my arms in and out, which is something to keep in mind if you have a similar setup.

The Autofull M6 Ultra 2.0 is the flagship model of the brand, meaning it comes loaded with features while enhancing the dynamic lumbar support. You get heating and cooling options, lumbar and seat cushion massage, fully adjustable armrests, auto-adjusting lumbar tracking, a height and depth adjustable head cushion, and a 160-degree recline with an integrated footrest.

On a good day, you’re looking at a price between $600 and $700 for all these features. Compared to other feature-rich chairs, the Autofull M6 Ultra easily surpasses options like the Fractal Refine and Razer Iskur V2, which lack some of these electronic extras.

For instance, the Iskur has a $649.99 MSRP and offers similar lumbar support with 4D armrests, but it doesn’t include the integrated headrest or heating and cooling features.

The heating and cooling could be a game-changer, especially for those who tend to get warm during long sessions. A USB-A cable needs to be plugged into your system or a separate power source to operate the fans, but it can be tucked away in a small pocket when not in use.

I didn’t use a portable battery, and since my setup is on the left side of the desk, I had to disconnect the cable every time I stood up, which became a bit annoying. However, this is specific to my desk layout and can be easily managed. I’ll definitely consider getting a small portable charger in the future.

All controls are located on a small rubberized panel on the right side of the seat cushion. Both the heating and cooling functions have three settings, as do the vibrating seat cushions and lumbar pillow.

After two months of using the Autofull M6 Ultra 2.0, I’ve experienced it as both a human and a goblin. I can finally sit cross-legged without sacrificing lumbar support. Good posture is important, but I no longer feel like my back is neglected when I want to hunch over.

Initially, the main padding felt a bit firm, but it has become more comfortable over time. It provides support without letting me sink too deeply, and I never felt numb or uncomfortable during long gaming or work sessions.

I was also impressed with how well the mechanics of the massage and thermal systems are integrated into the seat. There’s generous padding over these components, with only one slightly firmer spot near the center of the cushion that I barely noticed during my testing.

The lumbar cushion offers a surprising amount of adjustable depth and snaps back into place easily. Its dynamic support is smooth, usually moving down to accommodate my position. However, there were times I wished I could manually set and lock this height, which is where some other brands’ integrated settings could be beneficial. At times, it felt like I was supporting the chair as much as it was supporting me.

Now, let’s talk about the heating and cooling features, which are the standout aspects of the Autofull. I tested the M6 Ultra 2.0 during winter, so the fans were mostly off, except for a few dedicated sessions. The cushions heat up quickly but cool down just as fast once turned off. At full power, it can get quite warm—too warm for extended use. I found a sweet spot by heating the seat to the highest setting before dialing it back a notch.

The cooling function is impressive. The fans deliver a surprising amount of cold air immediately upon activation, without sounding like a jet engine. The initial effect is quick, but it takes about ten seconds to reach its full cooling potential.

The massage feature is decent. It doesn’t have rolling parts but uses a series of vibrating pulses through the cushion and backrest. It’s comforting, but not exactly a massage. If you’re specifically looking for a chair with robust massage capabilities, you might want to explore other options.

Finally, I have a mixed opinion about the armrests. Their adjustability has been a lifesaver, allowing me to sit with my arms comfortably at my sides instead of awkwardly squished or extended. However, they can easily shift out of position when getting in and out of the chair or moving it around. A bit more tension in the adjustments would help keep them in place, as I often find myself readjusting them.

The head cushion is securely in place, providing solid support. Like the main seat, it’s a bit firmer than others but still offers excellent support. Autofull has added some nice touches here, with full depth control and winged sides that cradle the head comfortably.

Overall, I’ve been impressed with the Autofull M6 Ultra 2.0. While its MSRP is on the higher side, it frequently goes on sale for a more competitive price, especially considering its comfort, build quality, and features. The value is definitely there, but whether it’s the right fit for you is another question.

If you’re looking for lumbar support, adjustable armrests, and thermal controls, I highly recommend it—just make sure to snag it at a discounted price. It’s also a great choice for anyone with a narrower frame who struggles to fit into wider gaming chairs.

However, if you’re after a chair primarily for its massage features, you might want to look elsewhere, and if you just need basic cushioning, you won’t need to pay for the extra features this chair offers.

I used the Autofull M6 Ultra 2.0 as my primary gaming chair for two months, mostly in an upright position, but I also spent some weekends fully reclined. I tested both the heating and cooling functions and used the massage feature extensively for at least a week.
