Two years ago, the Retail Council of Canada slapped tariffs of up to 295% on imported Chinese furniture – where most gaming chairs are made(1). Their mission? To shield Canadian furniture manufacturers from an influx of cheap foreign products. This left Canadians with a limited array of gaming chair options. Thankfully, a few clever brands managed to carve a path into the market. Today, we’ve rounded up the cream of the crop. Discover the top gaming chair brands that serve Canadian gamers directly.

According to IbisWorld(2), the 3 biggest office furniture manufacturers with a Canadian retail outlet are:

  1. Global Furniture Group: a U.S. maker of generic office furniture, with an outlet in North York. (CA $992 million 2023 earnings)
  2. MillerKnoll: the world’s #1 office furniture brand has a showroom in downtown Toronto. (CA $205 million 2023 earnings)
  3. Krug Furniture: a Kitchener maker of home furniture products. (CA $205 million 2023 earnings)

MillerKnoll’s ergonomic seating options are world-famous. In contrast, Global Furniture and Krug Furniture specialize in making cheap, generic (non-ergonomic) desk chairs.

Krug Furniture offers Canadians a range of cheap, non-ergonomic desk chairs.

Meanwhile, leading gaming chair brands like DXRacer, Respawn Gaming, and E-Win do not sell directly to Canadians (excluding Amazon vendors). Below, Canadians can find five brands that do sell chairs directly to Canadians.

Best Direct-Order Chairs For Canadians

Buying directly from manufacturers cuts out middlemen. That gives consumers cheaper prices and direct after-care support.

  2. Secretlab: all chairs are accessories are available Canada-wide for direct-order.
  3. AndaSeat: most global chairs are available for Canadians, plus several legacy editions.
  4. Cybeart: a home-grown Toronto brand with some big-name brand associations; they’re still thriving in 2023.

Herman Miller

Herman Miller runs a national showroom (462 Wellington St. W) in Toronto. There are also 22 official Herman Miller retailers scattered nationwide. Even so, the best and easiest option is to buy a Herman Miller chair online.

Herman Miller is the juggernaut of the ergonomic seating industry. The company’s Aeron chair has reigned as the world’s best ergonomic chair since 1994.

When the Herman Miller Embody emerged in 2008, it became a serious contender to the throne. These days, a majority of the world’s best streamers use Embody chairs.

Herman Miller gaming chair collection
Herman Miller’s gaming collection also offers sale, delivery, and after-care services for Canadians.

Herman Miller also has a gaming collection. It includes ‘gamified’ versions of the Embody, Aeron, and Sayle chairs. These models are also available for Canadians to buy online.

Here are quick links for Canadians to order directly from Herman Miller. The office editions are customizable online, while gaming editions come fully loaded out of the box. In most cases, it’s worth paying extra for fully loaded models.

  • Embody: Gaming Edition C$ 1,995 |
  • Aeron: Gaming Edition $1805 | Classic Edition C$ 1,805
  • Sayle: Gaming Edition C$ 970 | Classic Edition $945

Anda Seat

For several years, AndaSeat maintained its headquarters and a showroom in Richmond Hill (north of Toronto). The showroom still exists, although AndaSeat’s main offices are now located in America and the UK.

Besides its Richmond Hill showroom, AndaSeat serves Canadians from the AndaSeat.ca website. From there you can buy Anda’s flagship Kaiser 3, the popular Phantom 3, and a few legacy models not available anywhere else.

For example, the Dark Wizard chair was discontinued in all other regions two years ago. However, it’s still available in Canada. I sent one out to a Toronto office worker who raved about it. Check this Dark Wizard Chair Review for details.

Cybeart

Cybeart is the only homegrown Canadian gaming chair brand to achieve national acclaim. Against all odds, the brand launched in August 2020 at DC Fandome with a remarkable partnership.

At Fandome, Cybeart gained instant notoriety by dropping five Justice League superhero gaming chairs. These were variants of its Cyberart Apex Series collection. In essence, Apex chairs are reimagined Secretlab Titan 2020 Series clones.

Cobra head gaming chair backrest design
All Apex Series chairs (including the pictured Signature Edition) have a backrest shaped like a cobra’s head.

Apex Series chairs resemble the Titan 2020 in terms of both design and functionality. All models come with internal lumbar support, a flat, wide seat, and a 5-year warranty.

  • Functionality: padded 4D armrests; multifunction tilt lock; 90-165 degree backrest recline.
  • Upholstery: embroidered PU leather certified to last for 200,000 abrasion cycles (10x more durable than the industry standard).
  • Padding: high-density cold foam padding (firmer density than cheaper chairs).
  • Headrest: memory foam pillow included.
  • Warranty: five years on all parts (details).

Despite similarities to other brands, Cybeart is not associated with others. It’s a unique brand with its own patented design and production facilities.

Noblechairs

Noblechairs appears to serve Canadian customers via noblechairs.com/en-ca/. All chairs are listed. However, there is no checkout button on any of them.

Noblechairs Canada website checkout
The Noblechairs Canada website does NOT let Canadians buy chairs.

Canadians wanting to buy a Noblechair should instead visit the Noblechairs Amazon CA Store. There, you’ll find most models with several styles to choose from.

Best Gaming Chairs For Canadians

China is the global hub for producing ergonomic furniture. However, steep tariffs (exceeding 2000%) prevent many brands from gaining entry. This has severely restricted the choices for Canadian consumers when it comes to ergonomic chairs.

China Canada trade war
Trade tariffs protect Canadian furniture makers by limiting chair options for consumers.

However, there’s a silver lining. Elite brands like Secretlab and Herman Miller have both established operations in the Canadian market. AndaSeat and Cybeart provide additional variety. Amazon stands as a reliable fallback, serving as a solid last resort for chair-hunting Canadians.

  1. Herman Miller: their full array of chairs are available for Canadians to order online.
  2. Secretlab: all chairs are accessories are available Canada-wide for direct-order.
  3. AndaSeat: most global chairs are available for Canadians, plus several legacy editions.
  4. Cybeart: a home-grown Toronto brand with some big-name brand associations; they’re still thriving in 2023.
