Today, we’ll be going through our list of the 10 best gaming chairs currently available. So sit back, try to relax (Assuming you don’t already have a comfy gaming chair) and enjoy.
10. Play Haha Gaming Chair – Best Gaming Chairs
Starting off our list with probably the best budget gaming chair, we have the Play Haha gaming chair. If you are looking for best gaming chair under 300 pounds, then you can grab yourself this incredibly affordable chair. It has a rather simple design, but it’s still quite stylish.

Like most gaming chairs, it has height adjustment controls, with a total height between 104-114cm and the back comes in at about 63cm. One downside is there’s no back panel tilting, so you’ll be stuck using it at the set angle.
You can get this gaming chair in four different colour schemes, though our personal favourite is the red! If you’re on a budget, all in all this is a great seat for you. An easy choice for our number 10 spot.
9. BraZen Puma – Best Gaming Chairs
The BraZen Puma gaming is another affordable budget option, coming in just a little more expensive than the Play Haha option. One of the main reasons you’d want this over the latter; Much more cushioning. The seat is padded, as per the norm, but so are the armrests and headrest, with a nice curve in the seat that fits the back well.
The chair itself is made from faux leather and a high quality steel frame. It’s quite easy to assemble, you get a step-by-step instruction manual and the assembly will typically only take a single person roughly 20 minutes. The chair also uses height adjustment with tilting; It’s definitely worth paying a bit extra over the Play Haha gaming chair.
If you like the look of this one, you can get it in green, blue, grey, pink and yellow. It’s one of the best gaming chairs on amazon for the price and what you get, giving it a solid placement of 9 on our list.
8. GTPlayer Gaming Chair – Best Gaming Chairs
The GTPlayer gaming chair from GTRacing is built solely with racing games in mind. This brand offers possibly the best gaming chairs under $200. It’s quite a stylish option, featuring a two-tone design and a shape extremely similar to racing bucket seats.

It does have 4D armrests like the Corsair T3 rush gaming chair, along with 5 pre-set reclining options.
A downside to this chair is that it is quite space consuming, and it takes 2 people to assemble. If you’re a taller gamer, looking for great comfort and back support whilst also having an easily cleanable chair, this would be a great option for you. We’re rating it a healthy 6 on our list.
