I'm going to say it; Corsair's gaming chairs are really underrated. Two of my favorite go-to recommendations are made by this brand, which may be surprising since Corsair is known for its PC components, not its seats. But as Amazon's big UK Spring Sale kicks off, Corsair is leading the charge with some of the best gaming chair deals I've seen so far in 2026.
First off, our favorite budget gaming chair, the Corsair TC100 Relaxed, is back down to its record-low price of £149 at Amazon (despite its dull price being £199). If you're on the hunt for something a bit more premium, the Corsair TC500 Luxe, the brand's flagship chair, is down to £379.99, which is actually an even deeper saving than the one above. It has a full price of £499.99, so this is the type of discount you only ever see a few times throughout the year.
But which one is right for you? Let's kick things off with the budget-friendly option. The TC100 Relaxed might be dubbed a "budget" gaming chair, but don't let that fool you. Compared to other chairs under £250, this one packs in a lot of build quality, cushioning, and adjustability. You don't get 4D armrests, but they will move up and down and to either side to meet the level of your desk.
Its current deal price is available in both the fabric Black and Grey colorways, but either will give you an upholstery that looks quite understated. The silhouette of the TC100 Relaxed definitely feels appropriate for a gaming setup, but it's not overtly going to disrupt the feng shui of a living room either.
The biggest pitfalls of this chair? Well, it is a budget option, which means you're going to miss out on some of the perks of pricier models. You get a lumbar and neck/head cushion as added bonuses, but those pale in comparison to adjustable lumbar support that's integrated into more expensive seats. Case in point, the neck cushion especially, is particularly hard, and during testing, I actually took mine off because it felt like my head was being pushed out of alignment with the rest of the seat.
But if that's a problem for you, and you want a bit more of a premium feel, why not check out the TC500 Luxe?
The TC500 Luxe's armrests are more easily adjusted, so much so that they actually click in and out of position without locking mechanisms - but that's besides the point. This chair does have integrated lumbar support, and you can use some twisty wheels on the side of it to move it up, down, back, and forward to suit the curve of your spine.
Where you'd notice a marked step up in quality is with this chair's neck pillow, because it actually feels like a beautifully plush neck cushion, and it magnetically snaps onto the chair's headrest. No annoying straps to loop through, no rigid support that makes you feel as though your head is being pushed forward.
I'm also a huge fan of how this chair looks. It's got three colorways, but it looks as though only two are available at Amazon right now. Either way, you have a choice between grey and white, and either will come in this luxurious leatherette-fabric hybrid. The best way I can describe it is a more malleable suede material, but it feels really comfortable to sit in an really great for temperature control.
The real design perk of the TC500 Luxe comes from its width. I'd actually argue the armrests are a little too far apart for my liking, but the seatbase being so wide means you can cross your legs or switch up your position in lots of ways and still benefit from that plush cushioning.
