September 2026 is absolutely stacked for gaming releases. We’ve already had The Blood of Dawnwalker and Orbitals, but with Marvel’s Wolverine, Silent Hill Townfall and Control Resonant also on the horizon, that can only mean one thing – I’m about to spend an awful lot of time sitting down.
As someone who works from home, I’m no stranger to the importance of having an office chair that actually supports you at your desk. I’ve always lived by the saying that you should spend money on things that separate you from the floor, and I’ve gone through countless desk chairs as a result in the search of the perfect one.
So when FlexiSpot reached out to ask whether I’d be up for checking out the C7 Morpher, I jumped at the chance. After spending over a week sitting in the chair for close to ten hours a day for both work and gaming, it’s proven a vital tool in my desk setup for ensuring that I’m not just looking after my back, but I’m enjoying sitting in it too.
The FlexiSpot C7 Morpher is a desk chair that has almost every bit of adjustment you could possibly need.
Of course, there’s the usual up and down motion to get the right height for your desk, as well as sliding the seat forwards and backwards to accommodate for slouchers (guilty as charged).
Moving further up the back, there’s an adjustable lumbar cushion that moves up and down with the whole back of the chair to accommodate a variety of heights. That lumbar cushion can also be pumped up and down using buttons that inflate and deflate airbags on the side.
Pumping these airbags up to their max creates a subtle change, but I did notice over time that I felt my mid-section to be more supported, holding me in place and preventing me from fidgeting quite as much.
Another trick up the C7 Morpher’s sleeve is that the entire back section of the chair is on a rail that moves up and down as you recline back. It’s not a huge range of movement, but it’s enough to follow the curves of your back as you move your head up and down – something I do regularly while flicking between multiple monitors.
As such, you get the sense that this is a chair that moves with you, with the support extending no matter which position you like to sit in.

There’s also an optional head rest included in the box that I highly recommend installing. It’s shaped to perfectly cup the back of your head and neck with an impressive range of motion, and I found it to be fantastic for supporting me during long work and gaming sessions this last week.
Another area that impressed me was the arm rests, which use a novel adjustment system that allows them to be moved in pretty much any direction. This is fantastic for whether you want them to sit closer to the desk when gaming or more tucked in when typing.
The soft leather-like material on the top is plush with my boney elbows sinking into them beautifully. They can also move up and down, although I do wish the lowest setting was a little lower to achieve the absolute perfect 90 degree typing position.
I also found that the metallic finish on the plastic around the tops of the arm rest was prone to picking up dust and blemishes. I’m not sure how they’d hold up after years of use as they already required a wipe down twice to keep them looking sparkly.
While the arms are fantastically manoeuvrable, I found them to be a little too much so on occasion. There were times when I’d dialled in the absolute perfect position, only for them to be knocked out of line the second I leant on them to get out of the chair.
A locking mechanism to keep them in place would go a long way on a second revision of the C7 Morpher.

Like most office chairs, there’s a recline function that’s easy to use with several stops locking it in place firmly as you sit back. That recline is paired excellently with the optional footrest, which is stored underneath the seat.
Its construction is a little plasticky, but it serves its purpose just fine. The cushioned pads proved comfortable on the ankles, and paired with the recline function ended up being the primary position for most of the 25 hours I spent reviewing The Blood of Dawnwalker last week.
I like to sit bolt upright while working and recline back when gaming, and the C7 Morpher feels confident in both positions. It meant I was able to transition from work mode to gaming mode in an instant, with both situations feeling satisfyingly different despite sitting at the same desk.
If I had one minor complaint about the recline function, it’s that the arms of the C7 Morpher tilt backwards along with the backrest of the chair. This may be down to personal preference, but having the arms tilt back in this way raises them up slightly, and means that you can’t pull the chair into the desk quite as closely due to them colliding with the desktop.

The construction of the C7 Morpher includes a mixture of metal and black plastic, which provides a weighty, premium feel overall. Despite its weight, it’s fairly easy to put together – I managed it in about 20 minutes by myself, although it definitely could have been done more quickly and easier as a pair.
I also appreciate that all of the adjustment controls are within easy reach when sitting on the seat. A series of flaps are located immediately below the mesh seat, making it super easy to dial in your adjustments without having to stand up each time.
For long sessions, I was a huge fan of the mesh material FlexiSpot has used here. My flat can get remarkably hot when running my gaming PC for long periods of time, but I remained well ventilated throughout as air flowed through the chair’s material with ease.

The Verdict
The FlexiSpot C7 Morpher is a fantastic ergonomic office chair that has all the adjustment points you could want. I found that it made a noticeable difference to the amount of time I was able to spend at my desk before feeling fidgety and uncomfortable, and it’s proven a vital part of my home office setup during long evenings of reviewing games as well as writing.
There are a few minor areas I’d like to see improved in a second iteration – namely with regards to a locking mechanism on the armrests and separating their recline function from the backrest of the chair.
But on the whole, this is a fantastic choice for anyone looking for a gaming chair that will actually support them through long gaming sessions rather than just looking cool for the camera.
