Secretlab dropped its Black Friday sale well in advance this year, and they've since moved on to all things Cyber Monday. In either case, it's a relatively modest reduction, but as it's the only place you can buy them reliably, this is about as good as it's going to get for Secretlab deals.

There are other gaming chair sales on right now, however, and the excellent Corsair TC100 Relaxed has had a hefty discount taking it down to just $180. It was already the best budget gaming chair around, and now that it's well below the $200 mark it's a no-brainer.

But why buy into Black Friday gaming chair deals? Well, posture is everything. It's certainly key to a healthy spine at least, and with the best gaming chair, we can help keep you upright, supported, and ready for a long session with minimal discomfort. With heaps of high-quality gaming chairs that will keep you comfortable for long periods, it's definitely a good time to invest in your comfort or pick up a gaming chair for the PC gamer in your life.

Corsair TC100 | Fabric and leatherette |
$249.99 $179.99 at Best Buy (save $70)
The TC100 is our favorite affordable gaming chair right now, following up on the popular T3 Rush with a great look and genuine comfort. You can read more in our review. Right now, even with only a light discount, it's a truly excellent gaming chair that's cheaper than most of its competition.

Price watch:
Anda Seat Phantom 3 Series | PVC Leather or Fabric | $399.99 $269.00 at AndaSeat (save $130.99)
With a wide base and a simplistic design, the Phantom 3 isn't the most exciting-looking chair around, but it's all about the comfort and reliable build quality. We know all about AndaSeat quality at this point, and they're supremely robust chairs. The only real question about comfort is the pretty basic armrests and a bit of an awkward lumbar cushion.

Black Friday gaming chair deals - Under $500

Price watch:Boulies Master Series | Ultraflex PU/Water-Resistant Fabric | $459.99 $369.99 at Boulies (save $80)

Price watch:
Boulies Master Series | Ultraflex PU/Water-Resistant Fabric | $459.99 $369.99 at Boulies (save $80)
The Boulies Master series performed very well in our review, and the model we covered with the water-resistant fabric is covered under this discount as well. It's got comfortable armrests, good lumbar support and is very stable in all positions, and it looks the part to boot. It might be a little small for some, but the comfort on offer here makes it worthy of serious consideration.

Price watch:Secretlab Titan Evo Lite | Leatherette or softweave | $459 $419 at Secretlab (save $40)

Price watch:
Secretlab Titan Evo Lite | Leatherette or softweave | $459 $419 at Secretlab (save $40)
Our favorite gaming chair does not come cheap, with the prices having risen consistently since the Titan Evo originally launched. To combat that Secretlab has released the Titan Evo Lite, a chair coming in at the same original price as the Titan Evo. It's got the same essential design but lacks some of the luxury touches, such as adjustable lumbar support and the special magnetic neck pillow and armrests. But it's still a high-quality chair, with the same robust, reliable comfort the company has made a name for itself with.

Price watch:
Anda Seat Kaiser 3 Series | PVC leather or Fabric | $499 $429 at Anda Seat with discount code K3SS30 (save $70)
Another Andaseat chair, but this one is a little more premium, hence the price increase. In our review of the XL version, we found it to be very comfy indeed with nice features like the magnetic snap-on neck support pillow and built-in adjustable lumbar support. The adjustment knobs might be a bit fiddly, but overall this is a great gaming chair with a host of features even some of the more expensive thrones would love to have.

Price watch:
Secretlab Titan Evo | 'Signatures' designs | Magnetic cushions | $549 $519 at Secretlab (save $30)
The Titan Evo is our favorite gaming chair, and has been for the longest time. It's the benchmark by which we judge all other gaming chairs—it's comfortable, supportive, and easy to assemble. The holy trinity. Buying direct from Secretlab is the only way to pick up this chair at this price right now.

Herman Miller Embody Gaming Chair | $1,845 $1,421.44 at Herman Miller (save $573.56 with code SAVE5)
Right now you can save 25% on the excellent Embody gaming chair I use every day, plus an extra 5% on top if you use code SAVE5. You can read my full Embody review for more info. One thing to note: the 'before' price on this chair is a lot higher these days than when this chair was first announced. It used to be $1,495, then $1,595, and now it's a whopping $1,845. Oof. The money saved here brings you back down to the original price, at least, so you're still saving something (if not quite as much as it seems).

Price watch:
Dowinx gaming office chair| PU leather| included footrest |
$289.99 $187.90 at Amazon (save $102.79)
This Dowinx chair is somewhere between an office chair and a gaming chair, with some of the aesthetic of the gaming variety and shape, but an included footrest and slanted armrests. It is designed to straighten up for better posture, yet lounge when you want a more comfortable session.

Price watch: ➖Office Star ProGrid | Black | $264.99 $241.99 at Best Buy (save $59)

Price watch: ➖
Office Star ProGrid | Black |
$264.99 $241.99 at Best Buy (save $59)
It might look a bit basic, but this is our best budget office chair for a reason. It's extremely tweakable, with a selection of levers that allow you to tilt, slide, and shift this chair around to find the perfect sitting position for you. It's remarkably comfortable, and while it won't be winning any awards in the style stakes, it's the seating positions it can provide that really matters.

Price watch: Razer Fujin Pro| Black | $1049.99 $894.99 at Razer (save $155)

Price watch:
Razer Fujin Pro| Black |
$1049.99 $894.99 at Razer (save $155)
Even with a decent discount, this is still a lot to pay for an office chair. However, in our review, we found the Razer promoted an excellent, upright posture with easy ergonomics, was very comfortable, and trod the line between being supportive enough for hours of office work, and comfortable enough to game through the night as well.

Price watch: Herman Miller Aeron| Black | $1,275 $908.44 at Herman Miller (save $366.56 with code SAVE5)SAVE5

Price watch:
Herman Miller Aeron| Black | $1,275 $908.44 at Herman Miller (save $366.56 with code SAVE5)
Herman Miller has a serious reputation amongst those who really know their chairs, and this ergonomic model is extremely comfortable, well-made, and is a bit of a looker to boot. This Black Friday deal gets you 25% off a luxury chair with 12 years (!) of warranty, and a design that could legitimately be called iconic. It might be a lot of money, but at what price ultimate comfort, design, and style? For 5% extra saved, use code SAVE5 at the checkout.

Price watch: ➖
NeueChair | Silver |
$1,319 $1,069 at NeueChair (save $250)
The NeueChair has long stood as our pick for the best office chair, and for good reason. It's highly adjustable, incredibly comfortable, and built to take years of abuse. While it's a lot to ask for a PC gamer to spend so much on a bland chair without fire decals or their favorite LoL character sprayed on it, we think it's well worth it for a proper office/gaming room. Don't forget to use the code "NEUEDIRECT" for free shipping.

Black Friday sim racing chair deals

Price watch: ➖
Playseat Challenge | Sim racing cockpit | Foldable | $229 $168.99 at Amazon (save $60.01)
Playseat has become one of the go-to names for foldable sim racing fun, and this chair gives you most of the advantages of a proper sim racing rig setup while remaining foldable enough to stick in a wardrobe. You get plenty of adjustment, a pedal mount to stop your foot controls from slipping around, and a comfy driving position that's much more convenient to have in your home than a big metal frame.

Price watch: Next Level Racing GT Lite | Sim racing cockpit | Foldable | $199.99 at Best Buy

Price watch:
Next Level Racing GT Lite | Sim racing cockpit | Foldable | $199.99 at Best Buy
Similar to the foldable Playseat Challenge, this Next Level Racing sim racing rig is a good option if you can't make permanent space for a whole sim racing rig. I don't blame you. With mounting points for your wheels and pedals, this will importantly keep you from slipping around under braking.

Price check: Amazon $215.20

Price watch: ➖
Playseat Trophy | Sim racing cockpit | Red |
$599 $549 at Playseat (save $50)
If you can spare the space (this racing rig won't pack down to a smaller size), this is one of the comfiest and sturdiest racing rigs I've ever used at home. There's space for your pedals and wheel as standard, and everything stays firmly in place so you can really slam on the load-cell brake if need be while racing.

Corsair TC100 Relaxed | Fabric | £199.99 £159.98 at Scan (save £40.01)
The TC100 Relaxed is our favourite affordable gaming chair right now, following up on the popular T3 Rush with a great look and genuine comfort. And on a personal note, the fact it allows you to sit cross-legged is a big plus for the TC100 and a big cross against most bucket seat style chairs. It's not technically on discount yet, and may well drop in price later, but this is still a superb price for a truly excellent chair.

The Boulies Master series performed very well in our review, and the model we covered with the water-resistant fabric is covered under this discount as well. It's got comfortable armrests, good lumbar support and is very stable in all positions, making this a chair you can really rely on to stand the test of everyday comfort.

Price watch:Anda Seat Jungle II | PVC leather | £308 £299 at Currys (save £9)

Price watch:
Anda Seat Jungle II | PVC leather | £308 £299 at Currys (save £9)
With tons of adjustability, a mix of PVC leather and velvet(esque) fabric, and proper head and lumbar cushions to boot, this is a lot of gaming chair from a proper brand for the money. We like AndaSeat's offerings a lot, and while the Jungle is something of an older model, it has a lot going for it at this price.

Price watch: Secretlab Titan Evo | Leatherette | Magnetic cushions | £469 £439 at Secretlab

Black Friday gaming chair deals - FAQ

When is Black Friday 2024?

Black Friday officially started on Friday November 29, 2024, but the deals are continuing right through the weekend. It's the biggest sales event of the year, and will continue on into Cyber Monday and Cyber Week directly after. So there's plenty of opportunity to bag yourself a PC gaming bargain.

We're seeing a lot of the major retailers providing big discounts all the way through the sales period. Really, we should call it Black November at this point, although the day itself has served up some tasty bargains too. They're virtually all still here, so fire away.

Then of course we'll be into the holiday season, New Year Sales, and probably some Valentine's Day dealios too. Still, November and early December has reliably provided some of the best deals in years past, and we expect this year to provide much of the same.

When is Cyber Monday 2024?

Cyber Monday is the Monday after Black Friday, so it falls on December 2, 2024. Black Friday sales often continue into Cyber Monday, but the day also brings a fresh set of new deals with it.

What should I look for in a Black Friday gaming chair deal today?

Durability has to be one of the key tenets of any Black Friday gaming chair purchase, as does support. If your bargain purchase starts to expose its metal frame six weeks into life as your gaming throne, and the padding sags depressingly, then you might as well be perched on top of a beer keg for all the support you're getting.

At the very least, you need to make sure that the gaming chair you have your eye on can offer some lumbar support, as well as adjustable arm rests. When you're typing or WASDing at a desk, those elbows need to be raised just so. Neck pillows or an adjustable head rest are also worthy of your time and money, but you also want to make sure you actually fit the thing too.

It's not always easy to get a bead on a chair's size from an online search, so make sure to thoroughly check the measurements before dropping a dollar on a new seat. There will be maximum height and weight recommendations for most chairs, and that's absolutely worth paying attention to.

We recommend only the chairs we feel hit the mark in terms of durability and support.

Do I need a gaming chair or office chair?

Why not one chair that fulfils both roles? There are two ways to go about this, but both are valid.

On the one hand, you look at a pricier office chair, such as the Herman Miller Embody, as both a gaming throne and something for the office. I use this chair at home, and find it offers comfort for eight hours a day, five days a week, but also allows me to relax into a more comfortable position for gaming in the evenings.

The other option is to buy a premium gaming chair and use that in the office. Our top pick for a gaming chair in 2024, the Secretlab Titan Evo, is well-suited to such a task. In fact, I also use this in the office. It's ergonomic, comfortable, and it doesn't look too out of place surrounded by bog-standard chairs. At least not in the usual black finish I have. Maybe some would, but who said an office chair shouldn't have personality?

So, yeah, don't feel pigeonholed into one design or the other, so long as whatever you pick is actually ergonomic, well-built, and feels comfy over long sessions.

What size gaming chair do I need?

If you're buying for yourself it can be a tough job knowing which size of gaming chair to get. If you're buying for someone else, it can be even tougher. Generally, we recommend the standard seat size, as there's nothing worse than a cramped bucket seat. These can become uncomfortable over time, and even wear away the fabric at points.

Some brands will offer just a regular and large gaming chair, while others may offer a small as well. These also can correspond to different maximum weights, too, so you might want to consider that.

Our one piece of advice is to look out for chairs with flat, or relatively flat, seat cushions. We find these are the most comfortable for most people, but especially those of us that sit in unusual positions.

Should I buy now or wait later in the sales?

There are always reasons to hold off on making a new purchase whenever you are thinking about making one. Whether it's the potential for a new generation of techie goodness on the horizon—either cutting prices on existing models or delivering tangible higher performance—or because there might be an imminent sale like Black Friday looming.

When picking out Black Friday or Cyber Monday gaming chair deals we take all of this into consideration, and where we think prices on something might significantly drop on the big day itself we simply won't recommend it.

But all of the products here we either believe won't significantly drop much further in terms of their pricing, or are just good deals that we wouldn't hesitate recommending if you wanted to make a purchase today.
