Best cheap gaming chair deals in May 2025
These are the best cheap gaming chair deals on offer right now

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.
Best cheap gaming chair deals in the US
GTPlayer | $199.99 $107.99 at Walmart
Save $142 - The GTPlayer is another frequent flyer in the discounted gaming chair aisle. With lumbar and neck cushions you're getting some comfort and posture support, and it's available in a slew of colors - this deal only applies to the black and red version, however.
Downix Gaming Chair with Cat Ears | $169.99 $139.99 at Amazon
Save $30 - In this limited-time deal, you get a Downix seat with a lovely black and pink design, complete with bunny ears we're used to seeing on our best pink gaming chairs guide. In an added bonus there's even a footrest that folds outward, letting you recline.
GTPlayer Gaming Chair | $299.99 $149.99 at Walmart
Save $110 - Usually, we'll recommend this chair if it drops below $200, and although we prefer to see it down at $129.99 it's a very tempting prospect for the price at the moment. For those who like a plush velvety feel under their tushy. You also get a recliner, which is a nice bonus for the cash you pay.
Dowinx Office Chair | $239.99 $179.99 at Newegg
Save $70 - This is one of the better discounts we've seen on one of Newegg's most popular gaming seats. A discount of $70 isn't all too common, and usually we see this Downix offering go for around the $199 mark.
Best cheap gaming chair deals in the UK
Downix Gaming Chair | £169.99 £119.99 at Amazon
Save £50 - Downix chairs can often be found on sale, and this one at Amazon has lumbar support, a footrest, and leather cushioning. A £50 saving through a tickbox on the retail page brings it down below the average price we usually see it at.
Corsair TC100 Relaxed | £199.99 £179.98 at Corsair
Save £20 - If you ask us, this is one of the best value gaming chairs money can buy, and it's slowly been coming down in price recently. At under £190, this is nothing short of a steal for the money you pay. Cheaper models don't usually come this comfortable, and it's a perfect gaming chair for those on a budget.

Weekly digests, tales from the communities you love, and more
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
