Razer Iskur V2 X: was $299.99 now $249.99 at Amazon
Read moreRead less

The Razer Iskur V2 X is a budget-friendly gaming chair that shows it in being not massively adjustable and not coming with a head pillow. Despite this, we still gave it 79% in our review due to just how comfortable it is, and that pretty great price point.

The Boulies Master series performed very well in our review, and the model we covered with the water-resistant fabric is covered under this discount as well. It's got comfortable armrests, good lumbar support and is very stable in all positions, and it looks the part to boot.

Razer Enki: was $499.99 now $415.96 at Amazon

If you want a pink throne then this is for you. It also comes in black, by the way, but where's the fun in that? We've been fans of the Razer Enki line-up in the past and this model is a high-quality unit. The 4D armrests, recline and lumbar support all help to get it snugly fitted around your frame, which we like to see for this sorta money.

Key specs: 4D armrests | Multiple colors available

AndaSeat Kaiser 3: was $489 now $429 at AndaSeat
Read moreRead less

In our review of the XL version, we found it to be very comfy indeed with nice features like the magnetic snap-on neck support pillow and built-in adjustable lumbar support. 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.

Key specs: PVC leather or fabric | Integrated lumbar support | 4D armrests

Price check: Best Buy $439.99

Secretlab Titan Evo

Secretlab Titan Evo: was $579 now $499 at Secretlab

The Titan Evo is not just a gaming chair but a gaming throne, thanks to a comfortable seat, sturdy build, and great look. It is a tad more expensive than the previous Evo, but an $80 discount helps bridge that gap.

Herman Miller Vantum

Herman Miller Vantum: was $930 now $697.50 at Herman Miller
Read moreRead less

Available in a range of colours, the Vantum offers a more affordable way to purchase a Herman Miller outside of the Embody. It also comes with a headrest, the Embody doesn't, and includes Herman Miller's excellent 12-year warranty. We've had to hit Herman Miller up for a spare part in the past and it was supremely easy.

Key specs: Glass-filled nylon frame | Polyester fabric | Flexible foam support

Logitech G Embody
Save $613.50
Logitech G Embody: was $2,045 now $1,431.50 at Herman Miller
Read moreRead less

This excellent chair is one I use every single day, because it's just so comfortable and strong. You can read my full Logitech G Embody review for more info. 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 $2,045 so it's not as big a saving as it looks, though still a decent chunk cheaper than last week.

Flexispot makes some tidy office gear, and the Ergo X is no different. It's well-priced, comes with some neat lumbar support, and features a nice mesh material. Down by just under $200, it's dropped to its best-ever price. This deal is for Amazon Prime members only.

Razer Fujin
Save $233.65
Razer Fujin: was $649.99 now $416.34 at Best Buy
Read moreRead less

I sit on this chair when I'm in the office. Well, the Pro version, anyways. The Pro version comes with a headreast and some slightly fancier lumbar features, but the headrest is actually my least favorite thing about the chair. The rest of it is comfortable, supportive, and adjustable. Plus, it looks normal on a work call and not like some sort of gaming throne.

Playseat has become one of the go-to names for foldable sim racing fun, and this chair gives you most of the advantages of a proper sim racing rig setup while remaining foldable enough to stick in a wardrobe. You get plenty of adjustment, a pedal mount to stop your foot controls from slipping around, and a comfy driving position that's much more convenient to have in your home than a big metal frame.

Key specs: Sim racing cockpit | Foldable

Playseat Trophy
Save $29.99
Playseat Trophy: was $558.99 now $529 at Amazon

If you can spare the space (this racing rig won't pack down to a smaller size but will sit upright), this is one of the comfiest and sturdiest 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.

Key specs: Sim racing cockpit | Wide compatibility | Adjustable sizing

Corsair TC100 Relaxed

Corsair TC100 Relaxed: was £199.99 now £149.99 at Scan
Read moreRead less

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 that it allows you to sit cross-legged is a big plus for the TC100 and a big cross against most bucket seat style chairs.

Save £105
AndaSeat Phantom 3: was £279.99 now £174.99 at Amazon
Read moreRead less

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 armrests and a bit of an awkward lumbar cushion.

Key specs: Extra wide seat | 2D armrests

This is a gaming chair that wouldn't look too out of place in an office, and it probably wouldn't feel too out of place sitting on it, either. Its subtle black aesthetic is matched by its adjustable armrests and lumbar support, so you can adjust things to your liking and keep comfy over long periods.

We've been fans of Boulies gaming chairs for a while now for their quality and comfort, but it makes chairs of all types, even for the office dwellers among us. This mesh office chair has plenty of adjustability, an integrated lumbar support, and a breathable material that should keep you cool, comfy, and upright. Use code BF90 for an extra £90 off in its early Black Friday sale.

Secretlab NeueChair

The NeueChair has long stood as our pick for the best office chair, and for good reason. It's highly adjustable, incredibly comfortable, and it's cheaper than many of Herman Miller's lot. While it's a lot to ask for a PC gamer to spend so much on a bland chair without fire decals or their favourite LoL character sprayed on it, we think it's well worth it for a proper office/gaming room.

If you can't dedicate a whole chunk of your room to your sim rig alone, the Challenge is a more compact sim racing cockpit than the Trophy. It'll fold together easily, yet it still retains a solid base for your wheel and pedal set.

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 isn't selling it any cheaper right now, so worth a punt on Amazon's discount price.

Buying advice: gaming chairs

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 are comfort and ergonomics. 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 can be worthy of your time and money, with the exception of some high-end office chairs, but you also want to make sure you actually fit the thing too.

What size gaming chair do I need?

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. 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 with raised edges. 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.

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 2025, the Secretlab Titan Evo, is well-suited to such a task. 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.
