Overview

The AutoFull M6 Ultra 2.0 is the Swiss Army knife of gaming chairs -- a product so determined to pack every conceivable comfort feature into a single seat that it borders on absurd. Thermoelectric cooling that drops surface temperature to 66 degrees Fahrenheit. Heating that climbs to 122 degrees. Dual vibration massage motors in the seat. A leg rest with its own massage system. Dynamic lumbar tracking, now in its third generation. This chair does not just support you; it actively conditions the environment around your body.

At $600, the M6 Ultra 2.0 is actually $200 less than its predecessor while adding seat and leg rest massage -- a pricing move that signals AutoFull's intent to compete on value rather than cede the market to premium-priced rivals. The result is the most feature-dense chair in our roundup, and possibly any roundup, at a price that undercuts several competitors offering far less functionality.

The catch is complexity. This chair requires a wall outlet. It weighs significantly more than passive alternatives due to the thermoelectric and motor hardware. It is only available direct from AutoFull, with no Amazon option. And the long-term reliability of integrated heating, cooling, and massage systems in a chair frame is an open question without years of market data to reference. But if the idea of a climate-controlled, massage-equipped gaming chair appeals to you on any level, nothing else comes close to what the M6 Ultra 2.0 delivers.

Features Deep-Dive

Thermoelectric Heating and Cooling System

The M6 Ultra 2.0's standout feature is its Peltier-based thermoelectric module embedded in the seat and backrest. In cooling mode, it actively pulls heat away from your body, dropping the surface contact temperature to approximately 66 degrees Fahrenheit. In heating mode, the same module reverses to push warmth into the seat, reaching up to 122 degrees Fahrenheit. Both modes are adjustable through multiple intensity levels.

The cooling performance is particularly impressive. Unlike "cooling" gel pads or breathable mesh that merely reduce heat accumulation, thermoelectric cooling actively removes heat -- the surface genuinely feels cold. During summer months or in warm rooms, this transforms a multi-hour gaming session from a sweaty ordeal into a comfortable one. The heating mode serves winter months and cold offices, providing the kind of warmth that a heated car seat delivers. Both features consume modest power and produce minimal noise -- a faint fan hum is audible in silent rooms but disappears under any audio.

The system requires a power adapter plugged into a wall outlet. The cable runs from the base of the chair, which means planning your outlet proximity when positioning the chair. Wireless operation is not available, and the heating/cooling does not function without power.

Dual Vibration Massage System

The 2.0 revision adds vibration massage motors in both the seat pan and an integrated leg rest -- a feature that was not present in the original M6 Ultra at $800. The massage system offers multiple intensity levels and pattern modes, ranging from gentle rhythmic pulses to more assertive vibration sequences. The motors are positioned to target the lower back and thighs during seated use, and calves when the leg rest is deployed.

To be clear: this is vibration massage, not deep-tissue or shiatsu-style kneading. It relaxes surface tension and improves circulation rather than working out muscle knots. For gamers who sit for 6+ hours, the periodic activation of massage during loading screens or between matches provides genuine relief from static posture fatigue. It is not a substitute for a real massage, but it is a meaningful comfort addition that no other gaming chair offers.

The leg rest itself extends to support your calves in a reclined position. Combined with the massage motors, it turns the M6 Ultra 2.0 into something closer to a recliner than a desk chair -- a distinction that works well for console gaming or media consumption but makes the chair less practical as a daily work chair.

3rd-Generation Dynamic Lumbar Tracking

AutoFull's third-generation lumbar system uses a flexible support mechanism that adapts its position as you shift in the chair. Unlike the motorized tracking of the LiberNovo Omni, this is a mechanical (non-powered) system that uses a spring-loaded plate to follow your lower-back position through moderate posture changes. It will not track aggressive shifts the way powered systems do, but it handles the natural drift that occurs during long sessions better than fixed lumbar supports.

The system is simpler and lighter than motorized alternatives, which reduces potential failure points while still providing meaningful adaptive support. The 3rd-generation improvement over earlier versions is primarily smoother tracking response and a wider range of motion. Combined with the chair's 396-lb weight capacity and wide seat pan, the lumbar system accommodates a broader range of body types than most competitors in this price range.

Pricing Analysis

At $600, the M6 Ultra 2.0 represents an unusual value proposition: more active comfort features than any competitor, at a price lower than several chairs offering fewer features. The original M6 Ultra launched at $800 without seat or leg rest massage; the 2.0 adds those features and drops the price by $200. AutoFull is clearly pursuing market share through aggressive pricing.

The comparison to the Secretlab Titan Evo ($549) is instructive. The Titan Evo offers superior passive ergonomics -- better lumbar adjustment, three size options, and proven multi-year durability. The M6 Ultra 2.0 offers active comfort technology -- heating, cooling, and massage -- that the Titan Evo cannot match at any price. You are choosing between two different philosophies: a chair that supports you perfectly through mechanical design, or a chair that actively conditions your environment through electronics. For $51 more than the Titan Evo, the M6 Ultra 2.0 adds an entire dimension of comfort features.

Purchase is direct from autofull.com only, with no Amazon availability. International shipping is available but adds cost and complicates returns. The warranty terms are standard for the category but notably shorter than the Herman Miller Vantum's 12-year coverage.

Who Is This For?

AutoFull M6 Ultra 2.0 works best for:

• Gamers in climate extremes -- whether a sweltering apartment without air conditioning or a cold basement setup -- who would genuinely benefit from active temperature control in their chair rather than relying on room climate
• Marathon session gamers (8+ hours) who experience fatigue, soreness, or circulation issues from extended static sitting and want active massage intervention without leaving their chair
• Larger users up to 396 lbs who need a chair with generous weight capacity and a wide seat pan, combined with comfort features that compensate for the limited chair options in this weight range

Who Should NOT Use This

AutoFull M6 Ultra 2.0 might not be the right choice if:

• You prioritize portability and simplicity: At roughly 65+ lbs with all the built-in hardware, the M6 Ultra 2.0 is heavy, requires a power outlet, and involves more setup complexity than passive chairs. If you move your chair between rooms, rearrange your setup frequently, or simply prefer a chair that works without plugging it in, a traditional gaming chair is more practical.
• Long-term reliability is your top concern: Integrated heating, cooling, and massage electronics in a chair frame are relatively novel. The mechanical components (motors, Peltier modules, wiring) introduce failure modes that a foam-and-steel chair simply does not have. If a 5-to-10-year reliable lifespan without electronic maintenance matters more to you than active comfort features, the Secretlab Titan Evo or Herman Miller Vantum offer proven longevity through simpler designs.

Bottom Line

The AutoFull M6 Ultra 2.0 is the most feature-packed gaming chair available, and it is not particularly close. Thermoelectric cooling, heating, dual massage, and dynamic lumbar tracking in a $600 chair is an aggressive value play that no competitor matches. The tradeoffs are real -- complexity, weight, power dependency, and uncertain long-term reliability -- but for gamers who want active comfort technology rather than passive support, the M6 Ultra 2.0 is the only chair delivering this experience at any price.

FAQ

How noticeable is the cooling effect?

Very noticeable. This is active thermoelectric cooling, not passive airflow or gel padding. The seat surface genuinely feels cold within 2 to 3 minutes of activation -- comparable to sitting on a chilled surface. In a warm room, the difference between cooling on and off is dramatic and immediately apparent. Multiple intensity levels let you dial the effect from gentle coolness to aggressive chill.

Does the massage feel like a real massage chair?

No. This is vibration massage, not roller or kneading massage. It loosens surface muscle tension and promotes circulation rather than working deep tissue. Think of it as a constant gentle relaxation rather than therapeutic treatment. For breaking up the monotony of static sitting during long sessions, it is surprisingly effective. For replacing an actual massage, it is not designed to do that.

What happens during a power outage or if I unplug it?

The chair functions as a normal, non-powered gaming chair. Recline, height adjustment, and lumbar support all work mechanically. You lose heating, cooling, and massage until power is restored. The chair does not lock up or become unusable -- it simply becomes a conventional (heavy) gaming chair.

How much electricity does it use?

Comparable to a laptop charger -- the thermoelectric module and motors draw modest wattage. Running heating or cooling continuously during an 8-hour session adds negligible cost to your electricity bill. The power adapter is standard and replaceable if damaged.
