The Next Level Racing® ERS5 Elite Reclining Seat — PU Leather & Suede Edition is a compact, fitted racing seat designed for sim racers who prefer a snug, bucket-inspired seating feel with reclining adjustability. Its FIA-licensed design, cold-molded foam, premium PU leather and suede upholstery, durable double-recliner mechanism, and included bottom-mount seat sliders provide a supportive foundation for GT, touring-car, endurance, rally, and road-racing simulator builds.
The ERS5 is the narrowest and most fitted seat in NLR’s ERS reclining-seat range. It is best suited to drivers with a waist size up to approximately 40 inches who prefer closer lateral support rather than the wider, more open feel of the ERS3.
The PU leather and suede edition prioritizes a premium motorsport appearance and increased grip. Customers seeking maximum airflow should compare the Fabric & SIMAERO Mesh edition.
The ERS5 is an FIA Official Licensed Product developed for simulation, esports, and motorsport-oriented training environments.
The ERS5 uses a compact and fitted shape intended to create closer body support than NLR’s wider ERS3 and ERS4 reclining seats.
Best suited to users within NLR’s published waist-fit range.
Helps maintain a consistent seated position during steering and braking.
Creates a more traditional racing-seat presentation in the cockpit.
The upholstery combines durable PU leather with suede contact areas for a premium appearance and increased surface grip.

Complements premium home and commercial simulator installations.
Cold-molded foam provides consistent shaping and structural support across the seat base and backrest.
