Black Friday gaming chair deals: The best places to park your posterior for the best prices
We're about a month out from Black Friday and the rampant capitalism that comes with it. Though the deals don't wait until the big day. We tend to find gaming chair deals popping up throughout November and, to a lesser degree, continuining through December. There are even some on right now, if you'd care to scroll down for a look.
????Our top early Black Friday PC gaming deals????
The things we look for in a gaming chair are comfort, ergonomics, durability, value and looks. Mostly in that order. We review gaming chairs throughout the year, which informs the deals we highlight. That experience really matters with gaming chairs. There is a lot of trash out there—many super-cheap chairs to sift through at some retailers. If a deal looks too good to be true, it usually is.
When is Black Friday 2025?
Black Friday is on November 28, 2025. This marks the day when most retailers will drop prices to their lowest point.
Though we've been covering Black Friday deals for a long time now, and we've noticed a trend among retailers to try to 'get ahead' of the competition with early discounts. When this happens, it can be a good idea to check if a retailer offers a price guarantee that ensures that even when you buy early on, if the price drops, you get some of your money back.

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 armrestsView Deal
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. It might be a little small for some, but the comfort on offer here makes it worthy of serious consideration. Use code BF90 for the full discount.
Key specs: Ultraflex PU fabric | 4D armrests | Built-in lumbar supportView Deal
Fractal Design makes a mean PC case, and it recently turned its gaze towards the world of gaming chairs with the Refine. It's a comfortable chair with a good look, as you can read about in our review, though it's not ideal for bigger bodies.
Key specs: 4D armrestsView Deal
Our favorite gaming chair does not come cheap, with the prices having risen consistently since the Titan Evo originally launched. To combat that Secretlab has released the Titan Evo Lite, a chair coming in at the same original price as the Titan Evo. It's got the same essential design but lacks some of the luxury touches, such as adjustable lumbar support and the special magnetic neck pillow and armrests.
Key specs: Leatherette or softweaveView Deal
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: AndaSeat $469View Deal
The Titan Evo is our favorite gaming chair at the moment and has been for the longest time. It's the benchmark by which we judge all other gaming chairs—it's comfortable, supportive, and easy to assemble. The holy trinity. Buying directly from Secretlab is the only way to pick up this chair most of the time, and generally we'd recommend ignoring the 'non-direct price' as it's practically non-existant.
Key specs: Leatherette | Magnetic cushionsView Deal
This is the excellent gaming chair I use every day 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 $1,845. Oof.

Black Friday office chair deals
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.
Key specs: Mesh fabric | Height-adjustable lumbar support | 3D armrestsView Deal
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. Don't forget to use the code "NEUEDIRECT" for free shipping.

Black Friday sim racing chair deals
You might laugh at the dorky nature of a sim racing stand but you shouldn't. I used one of these for a while and it makes a world of difference to an aspiring sim racer. Namely, it locks your pedals in place which prevents slippage, but it's also a good way to keep your wheel secured without constantly fitting and removing it from your desk all the time. Plus is folds out of the way.
Key specs: Handbrake/shifter mount | FoldingView Deal
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 | FoldableView Deal
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

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. It's not the cheapest ever right now, but it's a small discount on an already good price.

Black Friday office chair deals in the UK
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.
Key specs: Mesh fabric | Black or grey | Adjustable lumbar supportView Deal
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.
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.
One way to get around the fear of missing out on lower prices (FOMOOLP) is a price guarantee. We've seen a few over the years, from Newegg and others. What these essentially offer is a way to buy now, save later. You score a guaranteed product, and if it's discounted any further later on, you can request some of your money back—making back the difference.
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'll say. Though each deal in this guide has been chosen because it represents a good deal at that very moment.
