Save $200 – This ranked pretty highly in our best gaming chairs list, so we’re excited to see it on sale at such a high discount.

Razer Iskur XL gaming chair | $599 $399 at Amazon
Save $199 – The Razer Iskur is one of the best gaming chairs around, so for those with a bigger frame, the Razer Iskur XL is a fantastic choice. At an MSRP of $599 though, it’s a pretty expensive proposition, making Amazon’s $199 discount on this chair all the better.

Razer Iskur | £349.99 £279.99 at Ebuyer
Save £69.99 – What can be said of the Razer Iskur that we haven’t said a few lines ago. This comes at an even lower price without the premium of the Black Edition design (which visually isn’t all that different, barring the neon green logo.)

Trust Gaming GXT 707R Resto | £199.99 £187.99 at Amazon
Save £12 – As the bells rang for midnight on Black Friday, this chair dropped a further £58 in price from its previous £12 discount, making for big savings on this robust ergonomic chair which is already pretty reasonably priced. Now, it’s back to £12 – but worth keeping an eye on.

Adjustability
One of the first things you should check is the adjustability of any given chair. This is crucial for both ergonomics and making sure you pick up the right chair for your desk setup and space. We recommend choosing a chair that will at least allow you to adjust the height of both the seat and the armrests and the angle of the back. 

Most gaming chairs offer a lumbar support cushion or additional padding built into the chair itself, but, especially if you’re shopping in the cheaper aisles, it’s worth double-checking that this is included. However, an adjustable lumbar support cushion is far more ergonomic as you’ll be able to fit the chair perfectly to the curvature of your spine.

Materials
While the vast majority of cheaper chairs offer PU leather upholstery, picking up a softer material like the SoftWeave Fabric of the SecretLab Titan may not be preferable for all users. Double-check the breathability of the material you’re choosing, whether it contains any meshed webbing to allow heat to dissipate, for example. These soft chairs usually come at a slight price premium but won’t be for everybody, so we’d recommend testing one out in a store if you can.

Frame and base
The best way to judge the durability of your chosen chair is by looking at the frame and base. A steel frame and aluminum base are a good combination offering a durable build quality that will last you far longer than plastic. However, some cheaper chairs are still built with this plastic skeleton to keep costs low, and while you’re paying less now, it will need to be replaced far sooner. 

Size
Make sure you’re buying a gaming chair built for your size by checking the height and weight requirements of the base. Most mid-range and premium chairs lay out their height and weight recommendations, however, cheaper chairs sometimes forego a suggested height. In general, make sure your seat places you between 16 and 21 inches off the ground so that your feet are flat on the floor and your knees are at a 90-degree angle.
