A good gaming chair costs a few hundred dollars and should last years, so the timing of the purchase matters. Black Friday 2026 falls on November 27, and chair prices on Amazon move in the weeks around it: last year the Dowinx below hit its lowest price of the year on November 20. Right now the picture is mixed. The Razer Enki is about $60 under its recent average, while the Secretlab Titan Evo and Corsair TC100 Relaxed sit at or above their usual prices.
We compared every price below with what the chair sold for on Amazon over the past 90 days and its lowest price of the past year, not with the list price. When a chair is not on sale, we say so.
Our picks at a glance
8 deals1.The chair most testers still recommend first, with built-in adjustable lumbar and three sizes. At its usual price for now.
2.The budget chair independent testers agree on: wide seat, breathable fabric, deep recline. Above its usual price right now.
3.A wide, comfortable Razer chair with built-in lumbar, about $60 under its recent average and near its lowest price this year.
4.The cheapest chair here: soft and recliner-style, with a footrest and a massage lumbar pillow. Only a few dollars under its usual price.
5.A plush alternative to Secretlab's firm foam, with adjustable lumbar and an XL size for big and tall readers. Selling at its usual price.
6.The lumbar specialist, with an adaptive backrest support reviewers single out. Priced far above its October low, so we would wait.
7.A mesh ergonomic chair with a footrest for readers who work and game in one seat. Above its recent average right now.
8.Secretlab's softer, tougher Titan Evo for buyers who want the top version. About $250 more than the standard model right now.
Our picks
#1Best overall
Secretlab Titan Evo (Regular, Stealth)
by Secretlab
The Titan Evo is still the chair most testers recommend first. PC Gamer kept it as its overall pick after long-term use, and PCGamesN gave it 9/10, singling out the lumbar support built into the backrest, which you dial in four ways instead of wedging a pillow behind you.
This Offer is the Regular, the middle of three sizes; taller or heavier readers should look at the XL, which was about $60 more when we checked. Expect the seat to feel firm for the first few weeks. At under $700 it is only about $9 above its lowest Amazon price of the past year, which tells you the price barely moves there. This is the going rate, not a deal, so buy it now only if you need a chair before Black Friday.
Pros
- +Built-in lumbar support that adjusts four ways
- +Magnetic head pillow stays put
- +Sold in three sizes for a closer fit
Cons
- −Firm seat foam takes a few weeks to soften
- −Several accessories are sold separately
- Upholstery
- Leatherette
- Lumbar support
- Built-in, 4-way adjustable
- Footrest
- No
- Size
- Regular (also in Small and XL)

Corsair TC100 Relaxed (Fabric)
by Corsair
Corsair's TC100 Relaxed is the budget chair independent testers agree on. PC Gamer names it its best budget chair, PCGamesN gave it 8/10 for the wide seat and back support, and TechRadar liked the deep recline. The fabric breathes better than the leatherette on most chairs here, which you notice in a warm room.
The trade-offs are 2D armrests that several reviewers found wobbly and a neck pillow that stays where it is. Its Amazon rating sits just under 4 stars from nearly 1,500 ratings; we kept it because the independent testing is so consistent. Amazon sells it directly, but at about $270 it is above its 90-day average of about $250, and it fell to about $190 in June. We would wait for it to get back near $200.
Pros
- +Wide, roomy seat
- +Breathable fabric stays cooler than leatherette
- +Reclines from 90 to 160 degrees
- +Supportive backrest with a lumbar pillow
Cons
- −2D armrests feel wobbly
- −Neck pillow cannot be repositioned
- −Assembly is fiddly
- −Some parts feel cheap
- Upholstery
- Fabric
- Lumbar support
- Separate pillow
- Footrest

The Enki is the one chair here that is clearly cheaper than usual right now. At under $480 it is about $60 below its 90-day average and within about $7 of its lowest price this year, set in early October. It also has the best Amazon rating of our Picks, 4.5 stars from more than 350 ratings.
Tom's Hardware gave it an Editor's Choice for its materials and comfort, and Trusted Reviews calls it the Razer chair to consider first. The seat is wide and the lumbar arch is built in, so there is nothing to set up. That is also the catch: if the fixed lumbar feels too firm, you cannot change it, and GamesRadar found it a poor fit for shorter people. For adjustable lumbar from Razer, see the Iskur V2 below.
Pros
- +Wide seat with room to shift around
- +Built-in lumbar arch with nothing to set up
- +Quality materials and comfortable over long sessions
Cons
- −Lumbar and head pillow are not adjustable
- −Fixed lumbar feels too firm for some backs
- −A poor fit for shorter people
- Upholstery
- Synthetic leather
- Lumbar support
- Built-in arch, fixed
- Footrest

#4Best budget
Dowinx LS-6689S Recliner Gaming Chair
by Dowinx
The Dowinx is more recliner than racing seat: soft faux leather, a footrest that slides out from under the seat, and a lumbar pillow with a built-in massager. TechGearLab tested it hands-on and named it a best buy, and more than 5,000 Amazon ratings average 4.2 stars.
TechGearLab also found it can tip when you lean forward hard, and it developed pressure spots after about six hours, so it suits evenings with a controller more than full workdays. If you sit longer, the TC100 above is the better seat for about $30 more. At about $240 the Dowinx is only a few dollars under its 90-day average, but it dropped to about $190 in late November last year, so it is worth watching through Thanksgiving week.
Pros
- +Soft faux leather with a retro look
- +Retractable footrest
- +Lumbar pillow with a built-in massager
- +Recliner-style comfort for evenings on a controller
Cons
- −Can tip when you lean forward hard
- −Pressure spots after about six hours
- −Short cord on the massager
- Upholstery
- Faux leather
- Lumbar support
- Massage pillow
- Footrest
- Yes, retractable

AndaSeat Kaiser 4 (Large)
by AndaSeat
Windows Central's reviewer called the Kaiser 4 the most comfortable chair they had tried, and GameTyrant praised its seat depth and adjustable lumbar. If Secretlab's firm foam puts you off, this is the softer alternative.
This Offer is the Large. The XL, rated to about 395 lb, costs about $30 more and is the better choice for big and tall readers. Reviewers flagged thin assembly instructions and armrests that do not lock in place, and TechRadar found the lumbar aggressive. At about $550 it is selling at its usual price, not at a discount, so ignore the list price on the card. It was about $490 in January, which is the level we would hold out for.
Pros
- +Plush, comfortable padding
- +Adjustable built-in lumbar support
- +Generous seat depth
- +Armrests adjust in six directions
Cons
- −Assembly instructions are thin
- −Armrests do not lock and can drift
- −Lumbar can feel aggressive
- Upholstery
- PVC leatherette
- Lumbar support
- Built-in, adjustable
- Footrest
- No
- Size
- Large (also in XL)

Nearly every reviewer singles out the Iskur V2's lumbar support. It is built into the backrest, moves with you as you shift, and lets you set how deep the curve sits. TechGearLab named it the most comfortable chair it tested, and Tom's Guide called the lumbar its standout feature. PC Gamer was cooler on it, and shorter users may find the lumbar too pronounced.
On the chair alone it would rank higher. The price holds it back: Amazon is not selling it directly, and the cheapest third-party offer is close to $880. That is nearly $80 above its 90-day average and roughly $250 more than the $620 it sold for in early October. We would wait for it to come back down. If you want a Razer chair now, the Enki is the better buy.
Pros
- +Adaptive lumbar that moves with your back
- +Adjustable depth for the lumbar curve
- +4D armrests
- +Comes with a head pillow
Cons
- −Head pillow is flat and fiddly to position
- −Lumbar can feel too pronounced for shorter users
- Upholstery
- Synthetic leather
- Lumbar support
- Built-in, adaptive

Hbada E3 Pro 2026 Edition with Footrest
by Hbada
If you work and game in the same seat, or run hot in leatherette, a mesh ergonomic chair makes more sense than a racing-style one. PCGamesN rated the original Hbada E3 Pro 9/10 as its best mesh gaming chair, praising how far it adjusts and its leg rest. We could not find that model on Amazon, so this is its 2026 Edition, with three-zone lumbar support, an upgraded headrest and a pull-out footrest.
We have not found an independent review of the 2026 Edition yet, so treat it as the riskier Pick. Price is the other problem: at about $710 it is above its 90-day average of about $650 and well above the roughly $540 it sold for in early October. The same chair without the footrest costs about $50 less.
Pros
- +Breathable mesh for warm rooms
- +Three-zone lumbar support
- +Adjustable headrest and armrests
- +Pull-out footrest
Cons
- −No independent review of the 2026 Edition yet
- −Earlier E3 Pro adjustments could slip; unclear if fixed
- Upholstery
- Mesh
- Lumbar support
- Built-in, 3-zone
- Footrest
- Yes, pull-out

#8Best premium
Secretlab Titan Evo NanoGen (Regular)
by Secretlab
The NanoGen is the Titan Evo with a softer top layer of foam and a tougher leatherette, and Tom's Guide called it the new standard for gaming chair comfort. 3DTested praised the build and the easy assembly, though it found the seat still firm, the chair heavy, and the casters slow on carpet.
PC Gamer's verdict is the useful one for shoppers: the real-world gain over the standard Titan Evo is modest. Right now the gap is about $250, and the NanoGen has not been below about $920 on Amazon in the past year, so there is no discount here. Buy it if that gap narrows or you want the most durable Secretlab; otherwise the standard Titan Evo at the top of this list is the better use of your money. This Offer is the Regular size.
Pros
- +Softer top layer of foam than the standard Titan Evo
- +Tougher NanoGen leatherette
- +Solid build and easy assembly
- +Same 4-way lumbar and magnetic pillow as the Titan Evo
Cons
- −Seat is still firm
- −Heavy to move
- −Casters drag on carpet
- −Modest real-world gain over the standard Titan Evo
- Upholstery
- NanoGen leatherette
- Lumbar support
- Built-in, 4-way adjustable
- Footrest

How to choose a gaming chair this Black Friday
Pick the size before the model. Secretlab sells the Titan Evo in three sizes and AndaSeat sells the Kaiser 4 in Large and XL. A chair that is too small puts the lumbar and headrest in the wrong places, so check the maker's height and weight chart before you compare prices.
Decide how much lumbar adjustment you want. A pillow, as on the TC100 and Dowinx, is cheap and easy to move but slides around. Built-in lumbar like the Titan Evo's or the Iskur V2's stays put and adjusts, while the Enki's fixed arch suits people who would rather not fiddle.
Match the upholstery to your room. Leatherette wipes clean but runs warm over a long session. Fabric, like the TC100's, breathes better, and mesh, like the Hbada's, is the coolest of all.
Ignore the list price. A list price a few dollars above the selling price is not a discount. We compare against what each chair sold for over the past 90 days and its lowest price this year, and that is the comparison to use when Black Friday prices appear.
Check who is selling it. Of these Picks, Amazon itself sells only the Corsair TC100 Relaxed right now; the rest come from third-party sellers on Amazon. Read the seller's return terms before you buy, because a boxed chair is heavy and awkward to send back.
How we chose these gaming chair deals
Every deal on this page was selected and checked by Ed Hollinghurst. We start from products with a strong track record in independent reviews and owner feedback, then compare the current Black Friday price against the product's typical selling price over the past months, not just the inflated list price. A deal only makes the cut if the product is genuinely good and the discount is real.
Product prices and availability are accurate as of the date/time indicated and are subject to change. Any price and availability information displayed on Amazon.com at the time of purchase will apply to the purchase of this product.
