The best cheap gaming chair deals can help you save on what can be a very expensive piece of furniture. Yes, we'd argue investing in a good chair can be really worth it for anyone who spends hours at a desk, but still, a little lumbar support on a budget shouldn't be too hard to find. Luckily, we know some regular suspects when it comes to deals-prone seats, so we have some recommendations for you.

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 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.

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. Location: UK Remote
