Next Level Racing ERS3 Elite Reclining Seat
Three upholstery editions, dual recliners, cold-moulded foam.
The ERS3 is Next Level Racing's endurance seat: a twin-recliner sim racing seat with a deliberately open, roomy shell, cold-moulded foam and pre-installed sliders. It reclines to 135 degrees, supports users from 120 cm to 210 cm and up to 150 kg, and bolts to Next Level Racing cockpits as well as most third-party rigs with bottom-mount seat rails. Choose from three upholstery editions: PU Leather, PU Leather and Suede, or Fabric and SIMAERO Mesh. An FIA Official Licensed Product, held and shipped Australia-wide by Player1 Sim Gear in Queensland.
Why the ERS3
Built to be sat in for hours, not laps.
Double Recliner Mechanism
Recliners on both sides share the load instead of twisting the shell, so the backrest stays put under heavy load-cell braking. Adjust the angle out to 135 degrees without tools.
Cold-Moulded Foam
Softer cold-moulded foam holds its shape through long endurance stints, giving proper lumbar support rather than the flat, thin padding found on entry-level sim seats.
Open-Feel Shell
Deliberately roomier than a hard-shell GT bucket, with a suggested maximum waist of 44 inches (111 cm). It suits a wide spread of body types and shared or commercial rigs.
Three Upholstery Editions
PU Leather for a clean, premium finish, PU Leather and Suede for extra grip and a racier look, or Fabric and SIMAERO Mesh for maximum airflow in warm Australian rooms.
Sliders and Hardware Included
Dual seat sliders arrive pre-installed and the mounting hardware is in the box, so you can dial in your reach to the pedals or swap position between drivers in seconds.
FIA Official Licensed Product
The ERS3 is built under Next Level Racing's FIA licence, part of the FIA's global sim racing programme, and is used in private, esports and commercial installations worldwide.
Choosing an edition
PU Leather, Leather and Suede, or Fabric and SIMAERO Mesh?
All three editions are the same seat: identical shell, identical dual recliners, identical dimensions and the same 150 kg rating. Only the upholstery changes. Pick on feel and airflow, not on strength.
| Edition | Part number | Upholstery | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| PU Leather | NLR-E050 | Full PU leather, smooth finish | A clean, understated look that wipes down easily. The most popular of the three. |
| PU Leather and Suede | NLR-E051 | PU leather shell with racing suede centre panels | Extra grip through the shoulders and hips, and a more motorsport-flavoured finish. |
| Fabric and SIMAERO Mesh | NLR-E052 | Racing fabric with SIMAERO breathable mesh | Hot rooms and long endurance sessions where airflow matters more than a leather finish. |
Want active cooling rather than passive airflow? The ERS3 Hypercool is the same seat with six built-in fans. Not sure which edition suits your rig? Call us on 0488 385 870.
Fit and adjustment
Reclines to 135 degrees, slides for reach.
The twin recliner levers set the backrest anywhere from upright to a laid-back 135 degrees, so the ERS3 works for a Formula-style driving position, a GT position, or a relaxed flight-sim posture. The pre-installed dual sliders then set your distance to the pedals.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Editions and fit
What is the difference between the three ERS3 editions?
Only the upholstery. The PU Leather Edition (NLR-E050) is full PU leather, the PU Leather and Suede Edition (NLR-E051) adds racing suede centre panels for extra grip, and the Fabric and SIMAERO Mesh Edition (NLR-E052) uses breathable SIMAERO mesh for maximum airflow. Shell, foam, recliners, dimensions and the 150 kg rating are identical across all three.
Will the ERS3 fit my cockpit?
The ERS3 uses a universal bottom-mount seat rail system and ships with dual sliders and mounting hardware, so it fits Next Level Racing cockpits and most third-party rigs that take a bottom-mounted seat, including the cockpits we stock. Rail spacing does vary between brands, so if you are mounting it to a non-Next Level Racing rig, call us on 0488 385 870 with your cockpit model and we will confirm before you order.
What height and weight does the ERS3 support?
Next Level Racing rate the ERS3 for users from 120 cm to 210 cm tall and up to 150 kg, with a suggested maximum waist of 44 inches (111 cm). The open-feel shell is deliberately roomier than a hard-shell GT bucket, which is why it suits shared rigs and commercial installations.
How far does the ERS3 recline?
The backrest adjusts through to 135 degrees using recliner levers on both sides of the seat. Because the load is shared across two mechanisms rather than one, the backrest stays rigid under hard braking with a load-cell or hydraulic pedal set.
Can I use the ERS3 for flight sim, truck and farming sims?
Yes. The wide recline range and open shell make it a good fit for flight simulation, truck simulation and farming simulation as well as GT and Formula sim racing, where a tight, high-bolster bucket seat is often uncomfortable over long sessions.
Build and comfort
What is the ERS3 padded with?
Cold-moulded foam. It is softer than the thin flat foam used on entry-level sim seats but holds its shape over long stints, so lumbar support does not collapse two hours into an endurance race.
Is the ERS3 the same seat as the ERS3 Hypercool?
They share the shell and the dual-recliner design, but the ERS3 Hypercool adds six internal fans and a fan speed controller for active cooling. The standard ERS3 on this page is passively ventilated, and the Fabric and SIMAERO Mesh edition is the most breathable of the three.
Is the ERS3 an FIA licensed product?
Yes. The ERS3 is an FIA Official Licensed Product, produced under Next Level Racing's collaboration with the FIA as part of its global sim racing and driver development programme.
Do sliders and mounting hardware come with the seat?
Yes. Dual seat sliders arrive pre-installed and the mounting hardware is supplied in the box, along with digital assembly instructions and assembly videos. No separate slider kit is required.
