Sure, it may seem pretty clear cut: console gaming chairs are for console gamers, and PC gaming chairs are for PC gamers. That's not necessarily true, though. While the platform you play on may play a factor in your choice, where you play and whether you plan to also use your chair for non-gaming purposes is more important.

The best gaming chairs often range from more budget options that retail for around $150-$199, like the Corsair TC100 Relaxed gaming chair and the IKEA Markus, to premium options that can go for $800 / £800 to over $1000 / £1000, like the Herman Miller x Logitech Embody gaming chair (which costs an eye-watering $1,795 / £1,496) and the Razer Fujin Pro (which is $1,049 / roughly £835.64). There are plenty of great mid-range options, however, but these do come in around the $500 / £500 mark, with our favorite overall gaming chair, the Secretlab Titan Evo 2022, costing $519 / £414 / AU$724.
