Top Black Friday office chair deals in the US

A budget office chair from a company whose chairs we love for their ergonomics and comfort. The black mesh desk seat has a professional look and feel for any office. It features full adjustability, its 27.5in legs improve stability and weight limits when compared to many other chairs, which top out at 25 in.

The Flexispot OC3B comes with ergonomic and passive lumbar support to relieve back pains, while the mesh fabric cushion should make this a comfortable all-rounder. Weight capacity is a fair 220lbs. The seat is available in black, grey, and blue.

One of the top office chairs around, the premium, professional Herman Miller Embody sees a 25% discount ahead of Black Friday. In our review (read ithere), we praised the chair for its “elegant and ingenious design, premium build, and excellent comfort.” Available in a range of colorways to suit your workspace

A smart, traditional office chair from Amazon that comes with a budget price-tag, this is a comfortable and supportive chair with adjustable height and recline. Better still, the sturdy metal base has been certified by BIFMA – a nonprofit that creates safe standards for office furniture. A mesh version is available fromAmazon.com, though not yet discounted.

Branch is well-known for its luxury, premium office seating - but the company’s Ergonomic Chair is a more affordable option. It’s stylish, comfortable, ultra-adjustable, with a breathable mesh backrest and cushioned seat (read ourreview here). Better still, there’s a 7-year warranty.

Netting an Editor’s Choice from us, the Verve from Branch is one of our favorite office chairs (find out why in ourreview). It’s an incredibly comfortable seat, beautifully designed, and available in a range of colorways to suit your workspace. The 7-year warranty makes it excellent value, too.

Our top choice for an ergonomic office chair with back and lumbar support, the Sihoo Doro C300 is designed for comfort while working (or gaming, for that matter). The seat has dynamic lumbar support that adjusts as you move your body for constant back support.

The Razer Enki is our top pick for gamers and you can see why in ourRazer Enki review. Like the Corsair TC100 Relaxed, it sets itself apart thanks to its smart, professional design that suits any workspace (or game-space). In testing the Enki, we found it solidly built, stable, and comfortable, even with the non-adjustable lumbar support.

The AndaSeat Kaiser 3 hits itslowest price all year. A professional-looking gaming seat that will suit almost any home office, it comes in PVC leather and fabric (I’d opt for fabric if I were you, it’s more breathable) and comes in a range of colors. The Kaiser 3 XL is also on offer at $449 (see ourreview here), offering a little extra space and the best pick for big and tall body types.

The Branch Ergonomic Chair Pro takes the original model and adds thicker seating, 5D armrests, and improved lumbar support. The optional headrest adds even more customization and adjustability when finding that sweet spot. This chair also boasts a 7-year warranty, too.

The Branch Softside is a relaxed mid-back office chair - although a high-back version is available that’s designed for comfort, featuring integrated lumbar support and a cushioned foam seat embedded with supportive micro-coils. The chair comes with a 5-year warranty.

Of all the ones we’ve tested, the Vari Task Chair is one of our favorite office chairs. In ourreview, we really enjoyed our time in the seat. It’s built with ergonomics in mind, which is excels at. We found support was fantastic here, but more variants would be nice - for now, it’s just black and grey for the professional touch.

Good for ergonomics, the Flexispot OC3B features a mesh seat, back- and headrest, which is my preferred choice when sitting for long hours - it’s much more breathable. A comfortable all-rounder is how I’d describe this one.

Beautifully designed and extremely comfortable, they may call this a gaming chair, but it lacks any cliché designs, instead presenting a professional, ergonomic office chair. In our review (check it outhere), we called it comfortable and classy. Available in a range of colourways to suit your workspace

The Flexispot BS11 Pro is a strong and simple office chair, and is the perfect purchase for anyone looking to protect their posture. The classic mesh-and-fabric design is sleek and comfortable (see ourreview here). Overall, this is the ideal chair for a full day of working from home.

My top choice office chair for gamers, the Razer Enki, is a smart-looking seat that’s suitable for work and play. During our review (read ithere), we liked the build quality, stability, and comfort, although it’s worth noting lumbar support is fixed.

The Phantom 3 from AndaSeat is a good budget pick for work and play (for more, see ourreview here). Easy to assemble and comfortable to use, we would’ve liked improved lumbar support and softer armrests, but otherwise, this is a great choice for those saving money.

An ash grey variant is available for the same price atCurrys.

This flexible and adjustable chair is perfect for all day use, with a 7cm padding to ensure you’re comfortable all throughout. The breathable nylon fabric and durable wood frame give the chair a durable feel. The chair is highly adjustable, with a swing tilt function and 90 degree folding armrests.

One of our top recommendations for a smooth and sleek office chair is the PU Directors Office chair, available in black, brown, or grey. The gas-lift mechanism allows for height adjustment and the extra padding means you’ll be comfortable all day in this elegant chair.

Black Friday office chair deals 2024: Our predictions

We’re still tracking every big retailer and niche outlet for the best Black Friday office chair deals that remain. But if you’d like to start your own search, we’ve selected some of the best office chair retailers from the US and UK – from the big brands with huge ranges to specialist outlets with in-depth knowledge.

How much can I save with Black Friday office chair deals?

Office chairs are generally not the most expensive, but they are available at various prices. If you’re shopping on a budget, you only have to spend between $100 and $200 to get an office chair with some ergonomic features, but it’s entirely possible to shell out between $500 and $1000 if you’d like every feature and stylish design.

Not every office chair will benefit from a huge discount. As a general rule, find a chair you like and anticipate its price to drop by around 20% - anything beyond that is a bonus. That means you’ll save around $20 or $40 on an office chair that costs $100 or $200. For a $750 unit, a 20% discount would reduce the price to $600.

Black Friday office chair deals: 3 top tips

Do your research

Before you open your wallet, it’s worth figuring out exactly what kind of office chair you need – because if you narrow down your choices, you won’t spend as much time shopping around.

Consider everything you need from your new office chair. It must include ergonomic features like lumbar support and a neck pillow. You should also consider adjustability options – crucial if you want to change your chair’s height, armrest position, or seating angle.

Beyond that, think about the material of your new chair: some will be made from soft fabric that’s comfortable but tricky to clean, while others will have a mesh that’s better for airflow and cooling. And make sure that any new chair will be large enough to accommodate you comfortably.

Shop around

Once you’ve chosen a new office chair, it can be tempting to head toAmazon, find the product, and immediately click the Buy Now button, but that’s not necessarily the best method if you want to buy a new office chair with the biggest discount possible.

Take a gander at different office chair retailers because you often spot your chosen chair at a lower price on a different site.

It’s not just about the price. While many big retailers match prices across products, lots also offer extra incentives, like free gifts and bundled extras. If you spot one of those deals, it could add value when the office chair has the same price across many different outlets.

Be patient and consider different office furniture

You may have found your chosen chair at a great price in the middle of October, but don’t hit the Buy button immediately – discounts tend to get better as the month rolls on, and you’ll usually find deeper discounts around Black Friday itself.

If you cannot wait to see if a better price emerges, consider buying your chair early, keeping it in its box, and buying the same chair again if it’s available at a lower price. You can always send the first chair back for a refund.

There are other options if you want to save cash, too. It’s worth investigating older models of your chosen chair – last year’s kit will often have many of the same features. Similarly, check to see if more affordable chairs in the range offer most of the features you need at a more palatable price.

How to choose a Black Friday office chair deal

There are a number of key factors when figuring outhow to choose an office chair.

MaterialsOffice chairs come in a range of materials, with leather, fabric, and mesh fabric being the most popular. Given its hard-wearing nature, a smart leather office chair should last a long time. the seat can become hot and sweaty, particularly in the summer months. Fabric office chairs are typically cheaper to buy. However, neither material offers the breathability of mesh office chairs, which are popular for those sitting for extended hours.

AdjustabilityIf you’re looking for the maximum possible comfort from your chair, check all the adjustability options. Some chairs offer only basic adjustability such as an up-and-down movement; others offer no customization at all. However, try to choose one that offers plenty of options for personalizing the comfort of the chair. This includes seat height, recline features, locking mechanisms, and tilt control.

Lumbar and back supportOne of the main reasons for buying an office chair is the additional lumbar and back support on offer. This prevents unnecessary aches and pains, helping you maintain a good posture when you’re sitting down for long periods of time. At its most basic, you’ll see office chairs with a curved backrest, giving support to the lower back. Others add additional parts for stronger, more continued support. Some top-rated seats offer dynamic lumbar support, which means the mechanism shifts and moves with your body for constant, real-time back and spinal support when and where you need it.

Height and weightIf you’re of average height and weight, you shouldn’t need to worry too much about the seat’s height range and weight load capacity. Most standard office chairs will afford you the clearance to sit comfortably. If you’re a big or tall user, opt for a chair with a seat height of at least 17in but ideally 19in plus.

Warranty and returnsTop office chair suppliers will include a warranty and fair returns policy, so if something goes wrong with the chair, you can easily send it back for repair or replacement. That’s even more important when buying a Black Friday office chair deal online, since you can’t try it out. While some office chairs have a one-year warranty, it’s best to select a desk seat with a longer warranty - we recommend a minimum of three years. Premium models often offer far longer warranties of around 10 to 15 years on core parts of the chair.

BudgetOffice chairs come in a very wide range of prices, from under $100 to over $1000. Generally, you get what your pay for. Cheap seats for desks will lack adjustability and comfortability features which can impact back health, and may not be breathable, robust, or sturdily designed. On the other hand, not everyone needs (or even has room for) a luxury executive office with all the bells and whistles. Choose one balances comfort with your budget. On Black Friday, office chairs deals will be everywhere - and we’ll keep highlighting the lowest ever prices and biggest discounts you can find.
