Black Friday gaming chair deals 2025: Early deals that are here already

Black Friday gaming chair deals are one of the few chances throughout the year for you to get one of the priciest types of gaming hardware without overspending. Gaming chairs are a worthwhile investment, but if you want to see your money go the furthest possible distance, waiting until Black Friday can be a massive help. Thankfully, deals are already beginning to show themselves as we flip to the November page of the calendar. I've sifted through the deals on offer and found the best ones you can make the most of.

I've been reviewing gaming chairs and covering their Black Friday deals for years, so by this stage, I've seen it all. I've seen Herman Miller drop their uber-expensive thrones for a whole month around Black Friday, I've seen deals for go-to recommendations, and I've seen brands try to outdo one another with big discounts. This year, we've had a fair few seats arrive and state their claim to our best gaming chair list, so there are plenty of options to consider.

While we wait for Black Friday gaming deals to arrive officially, I've hunted down offers that have crossed the picket line. If you scroll down, you can find all the offers I'd personally recommend going for now if you need something urgently. That said, I wouldn't be surprised if they all got cheaper as we get closer to Black Friday.

Black Friday gaming chair deals - FAQs

Black Friday gaming chair deals - what to expect

If you've been caught out by gaming chair prices after finally deciding to seek out a new one, I understand. Gaming chairs are a very expensive bit of furniture to invest in, sometimes by margins that make no sense. Fortunately, that's why I'm here to help you find gaming chair deals during Black Friday. November's Thanksgiving celebrations bring about the best time of the year to shop for a gaming seat because almost all of them drop down in price.

Brands like Corsair, Boulies, GT Omega, AndaSeat, and Noblechairs - they all tend to offer discounts during Black Friday. Even the biggest brands like Secretlab and Herman Miller make things a bit easier for consumers when Black Friday comes around. We'd expect the majority of our favorites list to see some discounts in November, so fret not.

All eyes this year are on the Fractal Refine, which has now been on the shelves for around a year, and is still enjoying the best overall position on our leaderboard. We saw a good discount for it during Prime Day in July, but fingers crossed its first birthday is celebrated with an even better price drop. Similarly, the Corsair TC500 Luxe has made waves in the market this year, and although its price has been dropping fairly often, I think Black Friday may present a good opportunity for its best discount yet.

Another thing to think about this year are the value options. We've had Razer and AndaSeat launch new "affordable" gaming chairs this year, which is a nice addition to a market that usually charges a fortune for a good place to sit. The $299 price point now has plenty of products in it, so if you're working on that kind of budget, this year's new additions may even see competitive price drops come Black Friday.

Of course, the budget offerings are constantly shifting price to try and get the most attention, and Black Friday sales are no different. If you want something cheap and cheerful, you'll be able to find something this Winter, but if you plan in advance, your budget might even be able to stretch a bit further to something that we'd recommend more strongly.

If you want a better idea of what chairs will go on offer and what sort of prices you might need to budget for, take a look at the list of discounts we saw last year that we've saved down below.

How to choose the right gaming chair for you

There are three kinds of gaming chairs to look out for in the Black Friday sale:

• Traditional gaming chairs: With traditional racer-style cutouts and fabric or leather upholstery, these are the seats most gamers should look for. These are usually designed for desk setups, but more and more these days have footrests and/or are designed for prolonged comfort and posture support. Often, these are the ones to look for if you'd like a flashier design.
• Ergonomic/office gaming chairs: There are several key brands that make gaming chairs in this style to look out for, but you can recognise them from their mesh backing, lack of cushioning, and more minimalist approaches to posture support. These tend not to be as comfortable, and can regularly have higher prices, but the perk is that you should get more adjustability and features overall.
• Pedestal gaming chairs: As the name would imply, this style is stationary and built for rocking back and forth, stuck to the ground, and designed to be used for TV setups. Some models have RGB lighting and stereo speakers in them, tailored towards a younger or teen audience.
