If you're looking for the best cheap gaming chair deals, your choices are a bit limited right now. In fairness, this isn't exactly the time of year we expect to see chairs come down in price, but luckily, we know some frequent flyers which get discounted often. I've done the rounds and found some of the best deals going this week.

Although you may not find all the models on our best gaming chair list among the options below, these offers are still more than enough for those with smaller budgets. As well as some of our go-to budget recommendations, we've also added a few of our favorite models overall because sometimes they're particularly discount-prone. If your budget can stretch beyond the $100/£100 mark, these are well worth considering.

One thing to bear in mind, particularly when you're shopping for budget chair brands, is that a lot of these models are on sale perpetually. The tricky part is that their prices still change though, and particularly at a retailer like Amazon, the price something is discounted down from fluctuates too. We've tried to keep these offers below as honest as possible, so if you notice some inaccuracies on the retail page, that'll be why.

One of my earliest memories is playing SuperMario64 and wondering why the controller I held had three grips, but I only had two hands. Ever since I've been in love with video games and their technology. After graduating from Edinburgh Napier University with a degree in Journalism, I contributed to the Scottish Games Network and completed an Editorial Internship at Expert Reviews. Over the last decade, I’ve been managing my own YouTube channel about my love of games too. These days, I'm one of the resident hardware nerds at GamesRadar+, and I take the lead on our coverage of gaming PCs, VR, controllers, gaming chairs, and content creation gear. Now, I better stop myself here before I get talking about my favourite games like HUNT: Showdown, Dishonored, and Towerfall Ascension. Location: UK Remote
