I have chronic back pain at 24 years old from years of bad posture. Got the titan Evo 2022 a few months ago and although it didn’t “fix” my back pain, it certainly isn’t making it worse and I can definitely tolerate long gaming sessions better than I used to in my previous chair. I 100% agree that it’s quite firm and sometimes the seat begins to hurt if I’m playing for a particularly long time. The back rest is a bit firm as well and occasionally I have to reduce the lumbar support a little bit. Besides that I’m happy with my purchase and I can just tell that it’s going to maintain its quality for years

[@RolandsDad]

Solid and, relatable remarks. TL;DR: I like my chair, share his complaints. Still recommend, tell them to F off with shilling for your extra two years on your warranty. I got the 2022 model Titan, and at 6' 4" I opted for the regular size to save some extra cash. I was replacing a really nice Steelcase office chair that had officially run its course and was causing some significant back pain, especially after the gym. They recommended the XL size, and I went with my wallet and judgement. I'm very much of the "buy once, cry once" mentality and did plenty of research and have my own gripes about Secretlab, chief among them is that in order to get your full, 5-year warranty you must shill your personally owned chair for them. I think that is a dirty practice and will do my part to share that element. It panned out well to choose the regular size, despite my height. It is a VERY tall chair, and even with my natural tendency to sit textbook perfect, this chair is more than adequate. I can't imagine what I would have benefitted from an even TALLER chair, or deeper seat. Long legs and all, it fits me fine. The armrests do indeed rattle more than I'd like to accept from a chair at this pricepoint, and I appreciate him pointing out it is not related to the magmount toprests. That element is a marketing gimmick to sell their alternative for an extra $80, which feels like a gouge in my humble opinion. Side note for that: if you're like me and wear a mechanical watch, these magnetic mounts MAY screw with your watch's balance, if it isn't magnetic protected. The magnets holding the mounts and pillow for that matter are impressively strong. My wrist rests RIGHT on the magnets and I have been keeping mind of my time to see if it begins to affect the watch. I have to have this chair at the peak of its height for my legs to feel naturally comfortable, notably due to my height. The armrest adjustments are very keen, and if you go below the chair you can even pull them in or out with the hardware. Speaking of hardware, the included toolkit was excellent, and I have nothing but compliments there. The bolts all seem to be stainless and have lockwashers and washers, so I haven't felt the need to throw on some loctite for good measure. The seat is deep, to my taste. That is to say to fully rest your back to the backrest, your butt has to be pretty deep and the seat supports a good chunk of your thighs. The fabric option (which I opted for) is not as "soft" as I anticipated, given the trademarked title. It has a coarseness to it, but doesn't feel abrasive, maybe "rugged" would suit that term. Even with the fabric option, it retains heat, which I attribute to the density of the foam cushions. I run hot naturally, and my previous mesh back chair didn't hold any heat (obviously). I attribute this a testament to the density, and likely, longevity of the foam. Worth noting, as I opted for the fabric to keep cooler in the summer. It's Spring and it already runs warm. I actually really like the gimmick of the magmounted pillow. It just works for ME. I don't rest on it when I'm actually gaming, but when I lounge in my chair, it it nice to not fight a band that involuntarily moves a neck pillow around. It is indeed a firm chair, not remotely a cloud, but I do not mind. Even with my nonexistant white boy butt, it's fine to sit in for extended periods but I will again cite that I tend to hold good posture by nature. The controls are all good, and very easily accessible from a seated position. The handle to move the backrest does however feel like the cheapest part of the chair, and you will note that everytime you use it. Last but not least, the casters are phenomenal. They roll great on carpet and don't try to "guide" the chair when you roll. They go pretty understated. It's a feel thing and difficult to describe. Overall, I do like mine and it's dang cozy. I'd recommend it to anyone eyeballing one, or a gaming chair. It gets a solid pass on my scale.

You still stand with the regular size?

[@RolandsDad]

@@ManBoogey1 I honestly still rock this chair, but now due to price not quality. It's a fairly comfortable chair with a lot I dislike now. It's clattery as hell. None of the adjustable armrest features are solid, they all wobble. It was a feature for them, not a bug. The detachable tops for the armrests are polyurethane and deteriorating, and this is with one year's use. They sell "better" ones, naturally, and at a premium. The seat itself is rock solid, and I haven't had any issues such as discomfort, back pain, anything like that. It's a reasonably firm chair, but I've been okay with it. It still looks out of box new to me, but I also clean it regularly, and don't trash my stuff. The massive holds for me are the arm rests. They're trash, and I can't bear them for the price asked.

I've had the exact same 2022 as in the video since just before new year. The firmness takes some getting used to, but I started to like it. It's firm enough that you don't sag away in the chair, yet still not hard enough to be a pain in the butt (ha). The magnetic armrests aren't for long-term exchange when they're worn, but they're for upgrading and swapping them with new materials. The technogel for example, and maybe they'd introduce more.

[@garcia1177]

@@porschepal7932 secret labs is more than likely your best bet then. I know the 2020 lineup of chairs are on sale but overall the 2022 chairs seem worth the price especially for adding lumbar support and adjustability. Just something most currant gaming/office chairs fail to offer without marking it up to double let alone triple the price of a standard secret labs chair that being between $500-$600. I’m sure they also plan to reveal the 2023 model soon as well since this year is coming to a close however in terms of back support and comfort, these chairs are definitely worth the price tag despite the minor issues that people generally point out like the firmness of the seat, which generally you get used to within a few days after using the chair periodically.

[@DigitalApex]

For what it's worth, I have the 2020 Omega fabric chair and I've been using it for the better part of a year now with daily use. My sessions range anywhere from 2 to 14 hours. The chair is definitely firm, but I use the lumbar and neck support pillows, and they help immensely to prevent discomfort. There's no rips in the fabric, no signs of wear, and it's retained it's shape the entire time. The legs are metal and the armrests are a condensed foam with metal frames and levers for adjustments. The SecretLab chairs are definitely built to last, which I'd hope so, because mine ran me almost $400USD. I also don't have back spasms with the chair, partly due to the fact that slouching in the chair is very uncomfortable, so I found myself actually sitting properly over time.

I bought one of these cause I see everyone using them and raving about them. It's the most uncomfortable thing I ever sat on. It's like seating on the bleachers, my butt falls a sleep in 5 mins. The back offers no lower back support and pushes the upper back forward causing a lot of pain and pressure in lower back, this makes your neck and head to far away to lean back. Your looking up at the ceiling under your glasses. I wasted 400 dollars, it cost more then half the price to send back. It says it's for people my size but the chair is so high my feet barely touch the ground and it's at the lowest it goes, I wish I could attach the photo so you could see it next to my old chair I wanted to replace and how much taller it is. The back is really tall and straight the bottom is very flat and square, feels like the back wants you to sit one way and the bottom wants you to sit another way. I thought it was gonna be like buying a seat from a truck but it's nothing like a truck seat. You have been warned. I'm stuck with this paper weight.

I previously owned a Secret Lab Gaming chair for about 2 years and I would use it quite often. At first I noticed it was extremely firm which I wasn't a fan of. I later found out that from the company that the chair would have a break in period and that it would take some time to get the chair adjusted to my body. It never did in my opinion because even after two years of use, I could only sit in the chair for maybe two hours. After that I would start to have severe back pain. I do have a bad back but that Secret Lab chair would always cause me discomfort after use. I recently sold my chair and I am in the market for a Steelcase Leap V2. I hope that it will reduce the back pain that I experienced in the Secret Lab.

The 2022 Titan SecretLab chair XL did solve my back problem. The fine adjustment to the recline is important to for me and almost no 200-300 chairs have that feature that will support my weight. My only complaint is that the hard seat has broken down and my butt hurts after just few hours. Looking at seat pads now... but for $500 it shouldn't do that. The pillow does not fall at all for me. The problem is I HAD to get XL to support my weight, so its a little bit tall, not bad though. The PU leather is holding up VERY well and I tend to be rough on seating surfaces in the past. I just need better foam in the seat and it would be perfect for me.

Do I really need a 2.75x3' color printed, laminated assembly guide that I'll use once, then throw right in the garbage? Except that that garbage man ain't gonna haul that away, I'll have to pack this up in the Sandmobile and cart it to the office on Tuesday and chuck it all in their dumpster. What fun! Seriously though, I don't mind paying a premium price for a premium product that will purportedly last me for years - but the packaging alone has got to cost at least $20 in materials, not including the labor, call it $60 after end-user markup. It makes no difference to me what it ships in, and provided it gets in here intact, and just as soon forgo the fancy wrapping (that will be discarded anyway). Just my two cents.🐽

I've had a Secretlab 2020 Omega chair with the softweave fabric since Nov of 2020 and it has been really good. I like the fact that the seat cushion is really firm and find it comfortable. I even bought my dad one of the chairs for his birthday recently But I do wish that my armrests pads were either the Titan's magnetic type or the updated Omega ones that can be removed by undoing a screw and popping the pad off. One of my armrests had become very loose and just recently it actually came off the upright support. The pad and mechanism were secured to the plastic portion of upright by four screws and the heads are underneath the pad. Unfortunately, the armrest pad I have appears to be bonded to the mechanism and there is no apparent access to the heads of the screws to reattach the armrest. I am currently in contact with Secretlab to see what I and they will do about it. I suspect it will mean replacement of the entire arm, less the mounting plate to the bottom of the chair.

How is the seat pressure on the back of legs on the 2022 titan? I just got the 2020 as it’s 100 cheaper but the seat puts so much pressure on my legs that it starts to hurt after 30 mins. I heard the seat on the 2022 is more rounded, so wanted to check if that helped with legs pressure.

[@g00gle5ucks5]

I've owned a 2022 SoftWeave one for a few months now. Didn't want to spend the money for a proper office chair nor did I want to buy something low quality. I think this chair strikes a good compromise. I plan on sticking with it for another 5-7 years assuming it holds up. The chair has a lot of gimmicks as pointed out in the video, the whole magnet thing is entirely pointless. Also, I use the cushion as lumbar pillow, and no it's not magnetized at that level but it makes the chair more comfortable for me. A lot of users have complained about squeaking and creaking. No sounds here but I'm a light dude so who knows. The chair is also very stiff, I personally don't mind that but some may find that bothersome. My main issue is the racing-seat design with sides that aren't comfortable to lean on. Overall, I also recommend getting the previous model since the price point is the main reason for buying this chair and not opting for an office or used office chair instead.

[@JBStudius]

I have a 2020 version, that i have been using since mid-ish 2022. Pros: I am a very large person (6’6 and 240lb) so I tend to wear down the hydraulic thing pretty fast, so having one made specifically for someone like me is very nice, although it does cost a bit more. Soft weave is much nicer than all the “fake” leather materials I have tried. A lot more customizable than other budget chairs I’ve used. Cons: Price of course, I bought mine on sale and the price was still twice that of the second most expensive one. Very heavy, so when I just moved last month it was a pain to deal with lol. Overall I would say it has been worth it for me, as I can easily see myself still using this chair in 3-5 years, so by then I would have probably paid the same for that one chair as I would have buying 3 chairs in total over the secret labs chairs lifespan.

There is one big HUGE issue that makes me regret purchasing it though: *the LOUD. FREAKING. NNOOOOOOOOOOIIIIIIISEE!!!!!* I mean my goodness, after only a few weeks this thing is louder than a creeky old attic in a b-rated horror movie!! C'mon, Secretlab, are you kidding me??? A lot of it is coming from the *inner lumbar-support mechanic* --so much so that I sometimes feel tempted to stab it open and spray it down with a can of WD-40 (because as is, you CAN'T access it the same way he talks about adding WD-40 to the seat piston in this video). *SECRETLAB: IT'S CALLED LUBRICANT.

[@Bushwhacker73]

SL is secretly bad. I bought a regular SL PU chair in late 2018 and have had nothing but problems with it. The spring mechanism that returns the chair from recline just flat out broke on day 2, and have had to manually assist it. One of the bolts that mounts the chair frame to the seat snapped in half. The arm rests deteriorated around the edges. The PU leather started flaking and peeling after the first year. The lumbar adjustment max setting is equivalent to adding a thin blanket behind your lower back. The seat cushion was too firm, like sitting on wood, and still is after 4 years. The seat height was too high. I'm 6' and even at the lowest setting, my feet don't touch the ground during a slight recline, which causes circulation issues. (I assume this is why the new 2022 models were lowered). These are all common failures and complaints I've seen on many forums. Someone might ask, well why didn't you just return it? Good question, and that leads to their Customer service and warranty. I don't know what their policy is now, but in 2018 they had a no return, no money back policy. Purchasing was an act of faith, based on their reviews. They did warranty their chair from defects, but dealing with their warranty claims is like playing a game of email ping pong against a pro that has nothing better to do. Eventually you write the whole thing off as a $400 loss. Speaking of reviews...don't believe the hype! After purchasing the chair they spammed me with emails, asking for a review and promising discounts or credit towards future SL products. By this time I had enough of their BS and so I left an honest review, 2/5 stars listing all the complaints almost verbatim to the above. By the end of the day, the comment was removed from their website. Later I found an advertisement on Facebook and I wrote the same exact review in the comments section, again they removed it. I'm 100% convinced that the reason they have such great reviews is because they cherry pick and remove bad reviews. That's not to say that people don't enjoy their chairs, I'm sure there are some that do, but the overall picture of customer satisfaction is a fabricated lie. Oh, and they never gave me the store credit for the review. Since then, I've had opportunities to try some high end chairs like Herman Miller embody and Steelcase Leap V2. I ended up pulling the trigger on the Steelcase and have never been happier. As TATV points out, these are 4X the cost of a SL chair. They also come with lifetime warranties and their customer service actually cares. I know it's not an option for everyone, but I look at it as a long term investment, for both your equipment and your health, versus a short term investment of $400 that you have to keep paying out every 2 years. TATV is right in their review, that these are hybrid chairs, more for show than they are ergonomics, comfort, durability and customer care. Hopes this helps someone in their decision process, or maybe confirms someone else's experience.

[@01poppyblue]

Thanks for your review. My daughter wants a SL chair. I said their reviews are dodgy on their website because there is only good reviews.

I bought Omega chair a year ago, I'm 165cm (5,4 feet), 60kg. I used to use my ex boyfriends chair when at his place which was bigger one, titan. His chair was super comfortable so I bought mine. And I'm super disappointed, chair is stiff, and doesn't put my back in the right position. My back and neck hurt. I keep on throwing away and trying to use again the pillows and it's not helping. The one for the neck is way too stiff, and too big, It doesn't give support, just pushes my head away from the chair. The other is better but without the neck one doesn't make sense to use it. Finally, I use the lumbar one with my private travelling pillow for neck. Also, worth to mention, putting this chair together was a nightmare and I cried when doing it. My dad had to do it for me and even for him it was hard. I would have bought their plushie or travel pillow but a) I shouldn't need it in the first place b) price is way too high. In polish zł I paid for this chair 2000zł, my net salary is 3900... So I worked for two weeks to buy a chair that makes my back hurt anyway lol.

Hello, I have a question about the lumbar support on the XL and the regular model and it's possibility to adjust it. 🙂 I am relatively tall (6'4 / 193 cm), I could easily take the Titan Evo XL, but I would prefer the "regular", because I have very narrow shoulders and the armrests on the XL are too far apart for me. I measured. How far up can the lumbar support be raised on the regular in comparison to the XL? How many inches / cm can I raise to lumbar support higher on the XL, compared to the regular? Do you understand what I mean? I would appreciate a qualified answer. Greetings, Johannes

[@nomore6167]

One thing that nobody seems to address, including this video, is the backrest angle. Most chairs require you to recline when using them. They simply do not allow you to sit up straight; the backrest will be several inches (or more) away from your back if you do. The tech sheet for this chair claims that it has an 85-165 degree backrest angle, but I cannot see anything which confirms this and this chair is far too expensive to buy one and then find out this claim is false (even if you ignore the cost of the chair, the shipping cost to return the chair would be exorbitant).

[@giguy2002]

I bought the Titan 2020 Softweave Nov 2020 and I can use the seat back lever to sit leaning forward where I'm actually forced slightly hunched over my keyboard. I can also sit up straight or all the way back almost completely lying down. I'm 5'10" @ 220lbs and my chair feels firm and secure. The base is wide and heavy and I don't worry about any tipping. I use my chair at least 10 hours a day and another 3-4 on a Sat/Sun so very likely have over 7,000 hours in my chair. There's a tiny squeek somewhere in the base when leaning back but I'm typically sitting upright so not an issue. The arm rests have very little wiggle, soft and comfortable but crack/tear really easy. SecretLab said my issue was due to prolonged exposure to perspiration and/or environmental friction. What does that even mean? It means not covered under warranty but they did reluctantly replace them with pictures and a lot of complaining from me. I recommend people cover them with an armrest wrap if they buy a chair. Overall I'm very happy with the chair. I do have back issues and the this chair has helped me but there are others out there as well. Everyone's body is different so it's hard to tell what will work for you until you buy or go to a store and test a couple. I also want to give a big ROFLOL 😂 at the comments about going to the gym to for back pain vs having good posture while sitting all day. We know who didn't listen to Mom when she said "Sit up straight! Stop slouching!" There's a reason mom's and doctors have been preaching good posture for decades but you'd probably have to pay attention to remember that. I put a link to the Mayo clinic with easy to understand pictures/steps why good posture is beneficial to reduce back pain. www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/adult-health/multimedia/back-pain/sls-20076817?s=1 For the record I go to the gym 4-6 days a week and have multiple personal trainers / kinesiologists there. Some exercises and stretches do help with While that does help even they tell me I need to sit straight/properly with the right arm bend and elevation at my desk since I'm there so many hours a day. So a combo of both seems like the best course of action to keep back pain minimal at least for me. Whatever you get I hope it works for you!
