Black Friday gaming chair deals are usually cause for celebration. With thrones being pretty expensive additions to any gaming setup, any large-scale opportunity to get them for cheaper is worth getting excited about. Last year, we saw some really decent prices on the majority of products on our best gaming chair list. With new models and variants to anticipate throughout 2024, here's what you should know as we hurtle toward November.

The best gaming chairs are in a competitive field, and that's great for you. If you need something for posture support, there are ergonomic options. If you need something comfortable for longer sessions, there are plenty of plush models we can point you at. If you need something for a console setup, there are rockers and chairs with speakers that could be perfect. 

Now, as soon as these chairs go on offer, we'll be highlighting the best deals on this page. For now, though, we've got some time to answer your frequently asked questions so you know what to expect for the big event. If you want an idea of budget so you can save your pennies up until November, we've saved a list of last year's best Black Friday gaming chair deals. While prices can change, this might give you a decent ball park of what you'll need.

Where will I find the best Black Friday gaming chair deals?

There's no shortage of choice when it comes to Black Friday gaming chair deals, so we've rounded up a few suggestions of where to focus your search this November. No matter whether you want a Secretlab seat or something a little less expensive from Amazon, you should find something to suit you from the list below.

USA 

Amazon: A wide selection of both cheaper and high-end gaming chairs
Secretlab: We find that this brand makes some of the best gaming chairs
Best Buy: Steady discounts on brands like Razer, Corsair, Arozzi, and more
Newegg: Less emphasis on the bigger names but competitive prices abound
Walmart: More of a focus on budget brands, but a wide selection available
B&H Photo: Mostly offers Spieltek brand and racing-centric gaming chairs 

UK

Amazon: Regular discounts on big-name brands and cheaper models
Secretlab: Expect discounts on the latest models come Black Friday
Currys: Cheap prices on Razer, Noble Chairs, ADX, X Rocker, and more
eBuyer: Well stocked with all the big brands, but few discounts on offer
Argos: Focus is primarily on X Rocker and other pedestal gaming chairs
AO: Decent offers on X Rocker as well as AndaSeat gaming chairs 

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. 

Last year's best Black Friday gaming chair deals

Homall Gaming Chair | $123.34 $87.99 at Amazon (with Prime)
Save $35 - The most deals-prone chair in the world was up and down all Thanksgiving week, but the very best offer we could find was at Amazon, exclusively for those with Prime, where it was down to $88. For all those who didn't have Prime, the best option was Walmart.

Image

GTRACING GTWD-200 Gaming Chair with Footrest | $139 $99 at Walmart
Save $40 - This Walmart-exclusive deal shaved a good amount off a decent chair, making it an excellent budget option. The built-in footrest and color options certainly didn't hurt either!

Image

Downix Gaming Chair | $202.49 $142.49 at Amazon
Save $60  - Downix is a frequent flyer when you search for gaming chair deals. With this model, you didn't get much in the way of armrest adjustability, but you did get some beefy cushioning all over, and a footrest that can fold under the chair when it's not wanted.

Image

X Rocker SE Pro gaming chair | $229.99 $144.82 at Amazon
Save $84 - This chair had a pretty sizeable discount on it and would be perfect for anyone with a console setup to collapse into at the end of a long day. It also comes with built-in speakers in the headrest - while it might not be the greatest sound quality, it's a nice feature for immersive experiences.

Image

GTPlayer Gaming Chair | $389.99 $162.99 at Amazon
Save $220 - This GTRacing chair looks plush as hell! This brand has a solid reputation in the budget gaming chair space, but with materials this inviting, it looks like you'd be lucky to get it for this cheap. You even got that supportive leg/footrest for your money which folds underneath the chair. 

Image

Corsair TC100 Relaxed | $249.99 $189 at Best Buy
Save $60 - When it comes to value, the Corsair TC100 Relaxed is a tough seat to beat. For the features and comfort you got here, it was priced super competitively.

Image

AndaSeat Transformers Edition Premium Gaming Chair | $399.99 $199.99 at AndaSeat
Save $200 - This beautiful Transformers Edition of one of AndaSeat's gaming chairs was well worth a look. The color is vibrant and cushioning substantial, but if you aren't a fan of the bright yellow there's an Optimus Prime model, as well as a Megatron one. You got Premium PVC leather and a serious saving to boot.

Image

Playseat Challenge Sim Racing Cockpit | $259.99 $200.65 at Amazon
Save $60 - The PlaySeat Challenge Sim Racing Cockpit is a bit of an outlier, a racing-game-focused esports chair that can fold out so it doesn't use up quite as much space in your room. It was just a hair over $200 during Black Friday, but for very specialized gear of this quality, this was a good discount.

Image

AndaSeat Phantom 3 | $299.99 $239.99 at Amazon
Save $60 - The AndaSeat Phantom 3 is a brilliant choice of gaming chair that gives you loads of options when it comes to aesthetics. At Amazon and AndaSeat during last year's sales, you could get the Phantom 3 for $60 cheaper.

Image

Noblerocker Gaming Chair XL | $319.99 $255.99 at Amazon (with Prime)
Save $65 - This chair looks strikingly familiar... I can't think why. It's almost as though it reminds me of a premium brand that costs about double what this does...
strange. Nonetheless, those with an Amazon Prime membership could get a bargain on the XL model of this Titan Evo imitator.

Image

Alienware S5000 Gaming Chair | $399.99 $299.99 at Dell
Save $100 - The Alienware S500 is a fairly popular choice of gaming chair you might not have typically heard of because you wouldn't expect Alienware to dabble in chair creation. Just like the rest of Alienware's products though, it seldom gets discounts, so this was worth making the most of.

Image

Noblechairs Hero Gaming/Office Chair | $589 $339 at Amazon
Save $250 - A more classic faux leather design equally at home in a professional environment, this Noblechair had almost half its price slashed.

Image

Boulies Ninja Pro | $399.99 $339.99 at Boulies
Save $60 - Our favorite gaming chair was discounted for Black Friday - in fact, the whole Boulies store had offers running if you wanted premium features and luxury comfort for less money than other big-name brands out there.

Image

Razer Enki Gaming Chair | $499.99 $424.99 at Amazon
Save $70 - Razer's gaming chair bred for all-day comfort was back down to its lowest-ever price at Amazon. These chairs from Razer don't often see discounts, and it was nice to see the whole color range on offer here too.

Image

Secretlab TITAN Evo 2022 Series | $549 $439 at Secretlab
Save $110 - The premium Secretlab gaming chair was on offer, with substantial discounts available if you played your options right. This discount could be found on the classic colors like the Classic, Black, Ash, or Royal designs in the Neo Hybrid Leatherette. 

Image

Herman Miller Vantum Gaming Chair | $795 $596 at Herman Miller
Save $199 - Our favorite ergonomic chair was on offer. The Vantum didn't quite charm us as much as the Embody did, but this one is much cheaper and also comes with a really supportive headrest. We don't see these really pricey seats come down often, so it's important to shout about it when they do.

Image

Herman Miller Embody Gaming Chair | $1845 $1383 at Herman Miller
Save $462 - In our <a href="https://www.gamesradar.com/herman-miller-x-logitech-embody-review/" data-link-merchant="gamesradar.com"">Herman Miller Embody review, we said that it was "all the gaming chair you'll ever need", which it had to be given the price. The Embody is expensive, but you get a lot for the premium markup. Thankfully, it came in with a $462 discount for Black Friday, so if you were thinking of making the investment, November was the time to do it.

Ever since playing Journey at the age of 15, I’ve been desperate to cover video games for a living. After graduating from Edinburgh Napier University with a degree in Journalism, I contributed to the Scottish Games Network and completed an Editorial Internship over at Expert Reviews. Besides that, I’ve been managing my own YouTube channel and Podcast for the last 7 years. It’s been a long road, but all that experience somehow landed me a dream job covering gaming hardware. I’m a self-confessing PlayStation fanboy, but my experience covering the larger business and developer side of the whole industry has given me a strong knowledge of all platforms. When I’m not testing out every peripheral I can get my hands on, I’m probably either playing tennis or dissecting game design for an upcoming video essay. Now, I better stop myself here before I get talking about my favourite games like HUNT: Showdown, Dishonored, and Towerfall Ascension.
