A chair is one of the most important aspects of your work or gaming setup. A good gaming chair does not necessarily mean the best or most expensive one available; it means that it complements your seating posture and provides the comfort you seek in a chair. Gaming chairs are mainly on the stiffer side. Here are our five best affordable picks. If you decide to purchase one, ensure you visit a store and try out the options, except for the Amazon-based one.

Note: The pricing data provided is for informational purposes only. As mentioned, visit a local store and try out the chair, alongside your suitable table height. Then, only make the purchase.

One of the few budget options that offers a massage function alongside PU leather. If you become exhausted while working, this option is the best choice.

3. GTRACING GT890MF with Bluetooth Speakers

Racing enthusiasts will likely opt for this option, as it features Bluetooth speakers. It can also provide drifting and braking sound effects when you’re hard steering across a corner. However, be aware that you need to be very creative with the audio routing and preferably set up custom EQ curves, so that the speakers within your chair can produce those SFX. As for the rest, features such as adjustable armrests and retractable footrests are present.

Key Features:

  • Price: ~$130-180
  • Weight Capacity: 130 kg
  • Material: High-density foam with PU leather
  • Built-in Bluetooth speakers for immersive audio
  • 90-155 degree reclining backrest
  • Retractable footrest
  • Adjustable armrests
  • Cold polyurethane foam

4. Corsair TC100 Relaxed Gaming Chair

As the name suggests, this one is more premium-oriented and primarily focused on comfort. However, the pricing is not in the obnoxious territory; at around $220, it’s one of the most comfortable gaming chairs out there.  

Key Features:

  • Price: ~$190-220
  • Weight Capacity: 120 kg
  • Material: Fabric or leatherette options
  • Wide, plush and comfy seat design
  • 160-degree recline with tilt lock
  • Adjustable armrests (height and width)
  • Breathable fabric options
  • Lumbar and headrest pillows included

5. RESPAWN 110 Ergonomic Gaming Chair

Respawn chairs are well-known among the community. For starters, you’re getting a very long warranty period, 5 years, and on top of that, there’s lumbar support and headrest, along with all the bells and whistles that a good gaming chair has. If you’re looking for a gaming chair with an extended warranty and excellent build quality, the Respawn 110 is the way to go.

Key Features:

  • Price: ~$150-180
  • Weight Capacity: 125 kg
  • Material: Leather with high-density foam
  • 135-degree recline with infinite angle lock
  • Built-in extendable footrest
  • Lumbar support and headrest
  • 5-year limited warranty

Verdict

All of the gaming chairs mentioned here are incredible budget contenders, albeit one or two options can cross the $200+ territory. That said, the one with the massaging option and the one with the speakers are unique and niche in this territory. Usually, high-end gaming chairs often add more than what you need in real life. In the end, visit a local computer or furniture store, get your hands on one of these, have a seat, and then decide.
