The TC100 is our favorite affordable gaming chair right now, following up on the popular T3 Rush with a great look and genuine comfort.

The only issue is, this deal has mostly sold out everywhere now, and Corsair still isn't budging on price. You can still secure this new low price for yourself from Amazon, but it won't likely ship for "1 to 2 months".

Anda Seat Phantom 3 Series | PVC Leather or Fabric | <a href="https://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-7706533-15725900?sid=hawk-custom-tracking&url=https://www.andaseat.com/products/phantom-3-series-premium-office-gaming-chair?variant=40547305488443" data-link-merchant="andaseat.com"" target="_blank">$399.99 $249.99 at AndaSeat (save $150)
With a wide base and a simplistic design, the Phantom 3 isn't the most exciting-looking chair around, but it's all about the comfort and reliable build quality. We know all about AndaSeat quality at this point, and they're supremely robust chairs. The only real question about comfort is the pretty basic, uncomfortable armrests and a bit of an awkward lumbar cushion.

Beyond looking very smart and suave in this particular black and gold finish, this chair comes with a plethora of comfort features. Breathable "cold foam" upholstery, an enlarged seat area and backrest, adjustable lumbar support and 4D armrests complete a very solid and good looking package, and the quilting on the seat and backrest is a rather nice touch too.

It's got comfortable armrests, good lumbar support and is very stable in all positions, and it looks the part to boot. It might be a little small for some, but the comfort on offer here makes it worthy of serious consideration.

The adjustment knobs might be a bit fiddly, but overall this is a great gaming chair with a host of features even some of the more expensive thrones would love to have.

One thing to note: the 'before' price on this chair is a lot higher these days than when this chair was first announced. It used to be $1,495, then $1,595, and now it's a whopping $1,845. Oof. The money saved here brings you back down the original price, at least, so you're still saving something (if not quite as much as it seems).

NeueChair | Silver | <a href="https://neuechair.com/products/neuechair#silver" data-link-merchant="neuechair.com"" target="_blank">$919 $729 at Neue (save $190)
The NeueChair has long stood as our pick for the best office chair, and for good reason. It's highly adjustable, incredibly comfortable, and built to take years of abuse. While it's a lot to ask for a PC gamer to spend so much on a bland chair without fire decals or their favorite LoL character sprayed on it, we think it's well worth it for a proper office/gaming room.

Herman Miller has a serious reputation amongst those who really know their chairs, and this ergonomic model is extremely comfortable, well-made and is a bit of a looker to boot. This Black Friday deal gets you 25% off a luxury chair with 12 years (!) of warranty, and a design that could legitimately be called iconic. It might be a lot of money, but at what price ultimate comfort, design and style?

Similar to the foldable Playseat Challenge, this Next Level Racing sim racing rig is a good option if you can't make permanent space for a whole sim racing rig. I don't blame you. With mounting points for your wheels and pedals, this will importantly keep you from slipping around under braking.

If you can spare the space (this racing rig won't pack down to a smaller size), this is one of the comfiest and sturdy racing rigs I've ever used at home. There's space for your pedals and wheel as standard, and everything stays firmly in place so you can really slam on the load-cell brake if need be while racing. Logitech aren't selling it any cheaper right now, so worth a punt on Amazon's discount price.

The TC100 Relaxed is our favourite affordable gaming chair right now, following up on the popular T3 Rush with a great look and genuine comfort. And on a personal note the fact it allows you to sit cross legged is a big plus for the TC100 and a big cross against most bucket seat style chairs. Scan is selling the chair both on Amazon and its own site, but weirdly it's 98 pence cheaper on Amazon.

The Anda Seat Dark Demon Dragon is a bit pricier than the Phantom 3, but it's PVC leather which makes it easy to clean, uses memory foam and has a more body-hugging design. It's pretty beefy, so make sure you've got room for it.

What should I look for in a Black Friday gaming chair deal today?

Durability has to be one of the key tenets of any Black Friday gaming chair purchase, as does support. If your bargain purchase starts to expose its metal frame six weeks into life as your gaming throne, and the padding sags depressingly, then you might as well be perched on top of a beer keg for all the support you're getting.

At the very least, you need to make sure that the gaming chair you have your eye on can offer some lumbar support, as well as adjustable arm rests. When you're typing or WASDing at a desk, those elbows need to be raised just so. Neck pillows or an adjustable head rest are also worthy of your time and money, but you also want to make sure you actually fit the thing too.

It's not always easy to get a bead on a chair's size from an online search, so make sure to thoroughly check the measurements before dropping a dollar on a new seat. There will be maximum height and weight recommendations for most chairs, and that's absolutely worth paying attention to. 

We recommend only the chairs we feel hit the mark in terms of durability and support.

Do I need a gaming chair or office chair?

Why not one chair that fulfils both roles? There are two ways to go about this, but both are valid.

On the one hand, you look at a pricier office chair, such as the Herman Miller Embody, as both a gaming throne and something for the office. I use this chair at home, and find it offers comfort for eight hours a day, five days a week, but also allows me to relax into a more comfortable position for gaming in the evenings.

The other option is to buy a premium gaming chair and use that in the office. Our top pick for a gaming chair in 2023, the Secretlab Titan Evo, is well-suited to such a task. In fact, I also use this in the office. It's ergonomic, comfortable, and it doesn't look too out of place surrounded by bog-standard chairs. At least not in the usual black finish I have. Maybe some would, but who said an office chair shouldn't have personality?

So, yeah, don't feel pigeonholed into one design or the other, so long as whatever you pick is actually ergonomic, well-built, and feels comfy over long sessions.

What size gaming chair do I need?

If you're buying for yourself it can be a tough job knowing which size of gaming chair to get. If you're buying for someone else, it can be even tougher. Generally, we recommend the standard seat size, as there's nothing worse than a cramped bucket seat. These can become uncomfortable over time, and even wear away the fabric at points.

Some brands will offer just a regular and large gaming chair, while others may offer a small as well. These also can correspond to different maximum weights, too, so you might want to consider that. 

Our one piece of advice is to look out for chairs with flat, or relatively flat, seat cushions. We find these are the most comfortable for most people, but especially those of us that sit in unusual positions.

When is Black Friday 2023?

Black Friday 2023 begins November 24, which means it's already over! Don't fret, there are still many great deals out there yet to buy, they're just hiding under the guise of Cyber Monday gaming chair deals. Once the initial panic is over, you can bet you'll see leftover discounts spilling into Cyber Week, too.

Should I buy now or wait later in the sales?

There are always reasons to hold off on making a new purchase whenever you are thinking about making one. Whether it's the potential for a new generation of techie goodness on the horizon—either cutting prices on existing models or delivering tangible higher performance—or because there might be an imminent sale like Black Friday looming.

When picking out Black Friday or Cyber Monday gaming chair deals we take all of this into consideration, and where we think prices on something might significantly drop on the big day itself we simply won't recommend it. But all of the products here we either believe won't significantly drop much further in terms of their pricing, or are just good deals that we wouldn't hesitate recommending if you wanted to make a purchase today.

Retailers have already launched their best gaming chair sales, and the likes of Newegg and Best Buy are offering their own kinds of price guarantees to give you some confidence in their current discounts.
