Black Friday gaming chair deals - what to expect
Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart tend to be the front-runners when it comes to deep discounts on premium gaming chairs. Secretlab runs its own offers, and although you'll find its wares available on Amazon throughout the year, in 2023 we saw it remove all of its listings at the retailer for the busiest point in the year. Luckily, some lighter savings were available via the Secretlab store, including savings on models we've praised in our favorites list (as per our Secretlab Titan Evo 2022 review).
Similarly, Razer is sure to have some solid prices, too. Razer has a stellar range of gaming peripherals that are frequently on offer across various retailers. The brand's premium gaming chair at the moment called the Iskur, has just had a successor announced, so that could mean we see Black Friday discounts on the older versions in 2024.
Elsewhere, the biggest brands that come to mind could be in line to launch new seats in 2024. Alienware could randomly come out with a new chair, Esports partnerships could create new models - there's a lot that could happen, and new models usually create good discounts for older ones.
Interestingly, Secretlab has just announced a new version of its Titan Evo chair which is a bit more budget-friendly. This could force deals either way, really. Sometimes when a product is deemed "too expensive", a manufacturer will launch a new one to justify its price more, making it less likely to garner deals. Other times, a new product can force an older one into cheaper deal prices. Either way, the prices on Secreltlab chairs don't really fluctuate, so take a gander at the best prices from last year to get an idea of how much to save up.
How to choose the right gaming chair for you
There are really only two kinds of gaming chair to look out for in the Black Friday gaming chair deals; ergonomic/office style gaming chairs (which are much more popular for both PC users and console gamers) or pedestal/rocker gaming chairs. Although the latter variant isn't as popular, it does have its quality brands too.
- Ergonomic/office gaming chairs: There are several key brands that make gaming chairs in this style to look out for on the day, including Secretlab, AndaSeat, Noblechairs, Corsair, and Razer. The design for most of them includes a racing-style swivel seat complete with a high backrest, reclining action, lumbar support, and headrest cushions.
- Pedestal gaming chairs: As the name would imply, this style is stationary and built for rocking back and forth, stuck to the ground (there are also free-rocking chairs in the same style, most notably by X Rocker). Some models have RGB lighting and stereo speakers in them, tailored towards a younger or teen audience.
