The first on our list for the best cheaper alternative to DXRacer gaming chairs is the Homall Gaming Chair.

This is mainly down to the fact that it looks the most similar aesthetically, with the vibrant contrast between the black PU leather and the striking red. There are also six other color options to choose from if the classic red and black combination is not for you.

The Homall also has very similar functionality to the DXRacer Racing Series gaming chairs. The bucket seat shape is classic to the DXRacers because they are made by the same manufacturers that made car seats for luxury cars. The Homall has a high-density foam padding that maintains its shape for a longer period of time.

The silhouette is a little bulkier than the DXRacer, this thicker sides on the backrest. This provides more stability for the gamer when they are sitting in the chair, since each segment of the chair has been padded separately.

Aesthetically, this Flash Furniture chair has an almost identical shape to the DXRacer Racing Series. The shape of the curves on the side of the backrest are very close to the original.

The backrest can only recline to a limit of 145-degrees, making this the least like the DXRacer, when it comes to reclining, on the list. The material used to upholster the chair is a PU faux leather, just like the DXRacer, which makes it easier to clean and cool to the touch.

Best and Cheap Alternatives for DXRacer Buyer’s Guide

Because it is difficult to navigate the market when it comes to gaming chairs, it can also be difficult to know what specifics and criteria are important to you personally.

In this Buyers’ Guide, we have sectioned off each category that we deem important in gaming chairs, and we have gone into detail about why you should consider them.

Ergonomics

The ergonomics of gaming chairs are extremely important. You are buying a gaming chair because you will probably be spending hours at a time witting at it in the day. When you are spending that long with something, you want it to be able to support you without compromise.

One of the main ways that the chair can support you ergonomically is through lumbar support.

All of the chairs on our list have additional lumbar support pillows that come with the chair. These pillows can be added or removed as you please. But they provide an extra supportive element to the gaming chairs. The chair with the best lumbar support is the AutoFull, because the shape of the cushion fits the chair flusher.

Aesthetics

Since these chairs are such a big product that will sit in your home visible at all times. It isn’t just the ergonomics that are important. The aesthetics of the chair are also worth considering if you want something similar to the DXRacer Racing Series Gaming Chair.

DXRacer are known for their racing style bucket seat shapes and all of the chairs that we have chosen as cheaper alternatives follow this same design.

As mentioned before, the most aesthetically similar to the DKRacer is the AutoFull Gaming Chair. And since this chair also performs well in the ergonomics category, it is a great option as a dupe for the DXRacer chair. The only reason it isn’t higher up on the list is because it is the most expensive of our five. Still cheaper than the DXRacer, but on the pricier end of our top five list.

Material

All of the chairs on our list, like the DXRacer, are upholstered in a PU faux leather. This material is easy to clean and cool to the touch, meaning you don’t need to worry about sweating during a particularly heavy gaming session.

Simply wipe down the chair and carry on with your day. Chairs that are upholstered in mesh or polyester can be harder to clean and end up staining.

Most of the chairs also come in the red and black color combination which is classic to DXRacer chairs. So, you can choose your color combination based on getting your gaming chair as close to looking like the DXRacer chair vibe as possible.

Final Thoughts

After reading this whole guide, you should now be in a better and more knowledgeable position to make a decision about what gaming chair to buy.

All of the top five chairs that we have picked as cheaper alternatives for the DXRacer chair are great options. Some of the chairs perform better in certain categories, when compared to the DXRacer, than others, and this is how we came to the order that we did.

The top slot goes to the Homall Gaming Chair because overall it is the best-looking chair and has a great price point. The AutoFull chair is also a great option but sits at the bottom of our list simply because, even though still an excellent gaming chair below the $500 mark, it is the most expensive of the five chairs.

Although we have ordered these chairs, this isn’t a definitive list. You might really like the look of the AutoFull, and even though it is number five on the list, you know it is the best option for you.

If that is the case, this guide has still been beneficial for you in finding you the perfect cheaper alternative to a DXRacer gaming chair on a budget.
