Boulies Master Rex (2026) Review: 6D Armrests and Integrated Footrest Underprice Key Rivals

The Master Rex follows the previous Boulies model with tweaks and additions intended to improve comfort and versatility. TechRadar reviewed a dark gray fabric version; a PU finish is also available, and the chair comes in black, grey and green colorways. The review described the fabric as durable but soft to the touch, with precise stitching. The head pillow was less premium, using relatively meager padding and an elastic strap instead of the magnetic attachment found on more expensive chairs, but TechRadar said it provided sufficient comfort and height adjustment.

The seat is firmer than the previous model's, and its front edge has a more prominent lip that can dig into the underside of thighs, according to the review. The seat height range is decent but not the largest. The backrest reclines to 165 degrees and includes a rocking function, though TechRadar found the rocking stiff even at its loosest setting. Built-in lumbar support can be adjusted for height and prominence, but the height range is limited and the dials require too many turns, making them a chore to use.

The standout feature, TechRadar said, is the 6D armrests. They offer numerous positions through a series of pivots and rotations. The review, however, struggled to find a benefit to their tilt function, and the armrests could not go low enough for the reviewer's liking. Their padding is harder than the previous model's, and they can wobble, although they remain stable during normal use. TechRadar noted that not even Secretlab's Titan Evo has 6D armrests, and the base Titan Evo is still more expensive than the Master Rex. The Titan Evo has better build quality and premium features such as a magnetic head pillow, but it does not include an integrated footrest as standard.

The integrated footrest is basic: it pulls out and flips. TechRadar said the cushioning is sufficient, but the footrest does not extend very far and supported the reviewer's calves rather than feet. Assembly was mostly straightforward without help, though attaching the tilt mechanism to the seat base was frustrating because the heavy piece requires delicate placement to keep the spacers from moving.

At $479.99 / £409.99 (about AU$670), TechRadar considered the Master Rex reasonably well priced for its build quality, adjustments and integrated footrest, and noted it has already been seen with significant discounts. The review said even at full price it is considerably cheaper than the Razer Iskur V2 NewGen, which has fewer armrest adjustments and lacks an integrated footrest. The chair's maximum user weight is 243 lbs / 110 kg, and its maximum user height is 5 ft 11 in / 180 cm. Its backrest dimensions are 29.9 x 22 inches / 760 x 560 mm.
