There is by far plenty of room in this chair with the arm-rests set at their narrowest position. I've got the chair raised about half an inch / 2cm and my legs can easily touch the ground (I wear trousers with 33-34" inside-leg).

But then Im not sure if my shoulder would have fit, me personally I dont like if I cant have my shoulders totally open in the chair. Conclusion: I think I'm between the 2 sizes actually hahaha !

Hey Dan! Just wondering, for someone whom is 5’3 and on a petite side, would you suggest getting the secretlab small or Iskur? Or would Herman miller be a better fit? Perhaps, the one deciding point for me is the lumbar support to kick my habit of sitting hunched and also prevent my feet from dangling mid air. Hmm~
@Ahnestly2 жыл бұрын
Hi Patience! I really think the Herman Miller would be a better fit. With your dimensions, I think it's going to be really really critical your feet are planted on the ground which will help keep you from hunching - think of it this way - if your legs are dangling and you need to get closer to the screen, what do you instinctively do? You hunch to put your face closer because your feet aren't available to help you scooch in. Now if your feet are on the ground, that doesn't mean you won't hunch, but you can use your feet to help move the chair closer to see. Check out my video "Which Herman Miller Gaming Chair is Best for You?" video - you'll see that all 3 should be a great fit for you!!

I want to say that your videos are incredibly high quality and i was pleasantly surprised finding that out when you only have 30k subs. And your commentary is way too entertaining for mostly talking about chairs all the time. I hope the algorithm blesses you in the near future. I’ve got an old dxracer at home and I’ve realized how awful it is for my back so I was thinking about picking up a titan evo but after browsing opinions on Reddit I went down the rabbit hole of steelcase and Herman miller which led me to your channel. Now I’m having trouble deciding between a titan evo and a “remanufactured” leap v2 from Crandall for $600 (I don’t have a car so I can’t go around looking for a used chair so at least I know what I’ll get from Crandall). I’m 5’9” and skinny with a long torso and I often sit cross legged and in some weird positions . What do you think?

Most gaming chairs arm rests don't lower enough to go under the desk so I can use my full arm on the desk. I usually have to remove the arm rest on the right side because I use a big corner desk. That's the only thing I'm worried about for this chair. I'm hoping that they will move out of the way enough that I don't have to remove them.

I think 6'3 should really go with an XL! I know the XL is a little pricier, but might be worth it so you have that extra breathing room (also, think of it as paying a fee for winning the height lottery...lol). If you decide to pick up, please consider using my link!

Thank you @Ahnestly for useful guides on this channel, I've watched quite a few videos (for me you're "the" chair reviewer on KZbin) and decided I want to give gaming chairs one more try so picked up a Titan Evo 2022 Regular using your link. I'm ~183cm/6" tall & ~75kg/165 lbs so fairly slim (perhaps slightly wide shoulders, but only slightly) but my only worry is whether the headpillow will be at a suitable height or not but otherwise I think Regular will be more worth it than XL as I kind of like sitting at a perhaps couple cm lower height than "typically", my current chair I got at the lowest setting of 45cm which is same as the Regular so didn't want to go any higher. My past experience with a gaming chair was with some DXRacer one but hated it so much I had to give up due to the metallic bolsters at the sides limiting the seating position and the sides hugged me a bit much too (therefore I couldn't use a HM Aeron either but I'm not either prepared to go full-out on HM Embody either). At least it looks like you can spread your legs a little in these and I sometimes put one leg over the other etc, I'm like really switching between a lot of various seating positions so typically gaming chairs hasn't been that good fit other than a couple options here and there which has a more flat base. Been using an fairly cheap ergo mesh chair from amazon ~150€ but the problem with these budget chairs from amazon apart from otherwise offering solid comfort vs price ratio is the seat really will sink in after like 1-2 years of use already. That in turn made the lumbar support even in the lowest position too high for me so have had to put an extra cushioning to the base in order to lift me up but now that one is slowly starting to sink in as well and figured it's about time I step up my budget a little bit due to how many hrs I sit everyday. I liked all the adjustability and the now added vertical adjustment of lumbar support to the SL 2022 lineup sold me over on these chairs. I read a lot about creaking issues but my current mesh chair also started creaking quite significantly after a while but as a headphone user it hasn't really bothered me tbh so I could live with a bit creaking if it's otherwise good.

@RPGWiZaRD3 жыл бұрын
@@emrys95 No not yet and there's probably lots of orders rn being Black Week n all. I could update here when I do recieve it how it fits me. I'm rather picky even if I'm perhaps not spending so much as I should on a chair so I'm quick at pointing out small details that doesn't work well for me. :p Regarding DXRacer Air I would write that off my list based on that plastic bar alone at the lower-back. I don't know what DXRacer were thinking there, for me instantly when I would see a chair I would be like "no-no-no" that bar has to go. Sure you can sit slightly further ahead and (mostly) avoid having your lower-back resting up against it but what about when the chair wears down? I would definitely have lots of concerns regarding that. Another concern would be the hugeload of plastic junk at the sides which restricts arm movement way too much, already on the Secret Labs chair I'm slightly worried about the protruding sides of the backrest but I think it should be a lot more maneagable vs the DXRacer at least. Also the plastic hard sides at the edge of the seat is a no-go for me with my varying seating position would dig in my legs or feet and create discomfort when I spread out legs or sit crosslegged or whatever. Those aspects wrote me off the DXRacer chair rather instantly based on seeing it. YMMV.

@@RPGWiZaRD EXACTLY what you said is why im also not immediately picking up the dxracer, that and also the lumbar seems to be very subtle idk, i suffer from lower back pain sometimes and want a bigger lumbar.

@RPGWiZaRD3 жыл бұрын
@@emrys95 I chose Regular based on the testimonial in this video, Yong is even slightly bigger than me and the chair looks to fit him just fine, we seem to have roughly the same kind of body shape although I'm just little bit slimmer/smaller (or cough probably just not as well worked out cough) overall. I also have a preference of lower seating position, I usually set the seating position so legs are roughly strait / very slightest bit so knees point upwards if legs are at 90 degree and I tend to place feet ever so slightly forward instead so not the perfect 90 degree position, my current chair I think had 43cm seating height in the lowest position although I've added now additional memory foam seat so it's more like 44-45cm, anyway I wouldn't want to have much higher seating height than I'm used to and Regular is 45m as opposed to 46m of the XL. Another slight worry regarding going XL would be whether or not the lumbar support would go low enough (or maybe they would be the same), with my experiences for me the lumbar support tends to be unnecessary high up on most of the chairs that I'm typically at the lowest setting and sometimes that is not even low enough for me, on my current chair I even have a slim extra pillow at the very base below the lumbar support, helps with comfort in my case. Yes seat might be a bit stiffer but I don't mind that personally and typically expensier ergo chairs are stiffer in general and in the long run it's appearently good for the body or so they say according to studies anyway. I got used to sit on a totally compressed chair seat when I studied so it felt more like sitting without any cushioning whatsoever so maybe that got me used to stiffer seats. Most people seem to initially think these Secret Labs chairs feel a bit stiff at first but appearently it loosens up some after a week or two of use so I'm not too worried about that personally. The stiffness also means it's not as likely to compress with time. My seat at work is also the same, doesn't compress really at all yet it feels good to me and it hasn't changed at all after years of use and I like that as opposed to these budget seats I'm used to that compresses a lot in already 1-2 years of heavy use.

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 from Germany 🙂 Johannes

Yeah, I agree, most gaming chairs are simply too tall. They could go with smaller / flatter wheels ( I don't know why they don't do that ). Like if you are 5'6, you are probably not 500 pounds. It'd be 100% fine if the wheels could only sustain less weight and you could just replace them or something. :/ Honestly, I don't think there are any gaming chairs that are good for smaller people. Office chairs exist, but they are really hard to find in other countries. Spent my past few days looking for one, and nothing. Wish IKEA did good chairs.

Honestly, my experience is that many gaming chairs are all made too short, or at least they have lacking adjustment options for my size (I am quite tall at 6"4). The headrests only come up to my upper back instead of my actual head, and the gas lifts are usually slightly too short meaning my legs aren't properly positioned at a right angle because of it. I usually have to customise chairs, or get models specifically made for my height, which are sometimes hard to come by. My 5"4 fiancée finds it much easier to purchase chairs than I do.
