After releasing its elegant Throne chair in 2015, Secretlab gradually rose to fame as one of the top manufacturers of gaming furniture. If a gamer has decided on purchasing a Secretlab gaming chair, even with the Titan Evo and now discontinued Omega as the only two options, the buying process can soon become surprisingly complicated. Secretlab aims to accommodate every gamer, regardless of their size or preferences with fabric and style. As a result, a bevy of choices bombards buyers as they check out on the Secretlab website.

When considering which Secretlab chair to purchase, the most critical factor is finding a chair that is comfortable for the gamer using it. The best gamer chairs have ergonomic qualities and are carefully molded to align themselves to the spine of an occupant. Secretlab has all buyers in mind by offering Small, Regular, and XL options with various height and weight limitations. In addition, gamers will have to decide on either a Neo Hybrid Leatherette or SoftWeave Plus Fabric upholstery, each with its advantages and disadvantages. Beyond that, Secretlab offers a dizzying array of colors and special edition designs to select from. In order to cut down on the confusion, the following guide is a breakdown of all the variations of gaming chairs Secretlab has to offer.

In 2022, Secretlab relaunched the TITAN series with its Evo models. This simplified the Secretlab gaming chair buying process, as it now allowed the Titan series to accommodate not only a wide variety of different materials but also the ability to now come in three different sizes. Taking into account even further adjustments for ergonomics during long gaming sessions and busy work hours, there's a reason why Secretlab has made the Titan Evo 2022 series the flagship chair of the company.

Beyond the wide range of options, the Titan Evo 2022 series also contains the largest number of color options. Ranging from simple single colors such as Frost Blue or Plush Pink to their collaboration products from games such as League of Legends, Valorant, and Fortnite. Though these collabs will only come in specific materials and are limited in nature. So if you've been waiting for a Diablo IV Secretlab gaming chair or Star Wars collection, strike while the iron is hot.

Comfort-wise, Secretlab launched the 2022 Titan Evo with your back and posterior in mind. Combining their 4-way L-ADAPT™ lumbar support system for back health with a COLD-CURE foam mix for the bottom. While these actions do help alleviate some of the pressure and stress on the body from sitting for hours at a time, always try to stand up and walk around every hour.

The adjustment ability of a Titan Evo 2022 falls under your typical gaming chair range, with the option to adjust to the height of the seat as well as the angle of the back. Beyond your typical lean back in your chair a little after a huge clutch, the new 2022 version of the Titan allows you to lean back as far as 165° to fully relax after a long night of gaming. Just try not to fall asleep, which may be hard, as their chair also comes with a magnetic memory foam head pillow. That's right, no more straps that require five minutes' worth of fiddling to adjust to how you like it. Simply slide it up or down and relax.

The armrests themselves need their own paragraph to talk about why the Titan Evo 2022 series really takes the cake as the best overall Secretlab gaming chair. Beyond the fact that you can easily order new ones to replace your old ones, you can also make 4D adjustments, which really just means:

• Up and down
• Angled in or out
• Forward and backward
• Left and right

Because of the huge selection of Titan Evo 2022 chairs available, Secretlab tends to have the best deals available on them at any given time. So it's not uncommon to find a 2022 Evo Titan at a better price than the 2020 Titan. Though this does vary depending on sales and promotions.

While Secretlab no longer has the OMEGA 2020 series in production, you can still easily find one of these on their websites, though with limited color options and materials available. Because it's on the way out, it's the perfect time to pick up a Secretlab gaming chair for a more budget-friendly gaming chair option compared to the Titan Evo 2022 or even Titan 2020 series.

Originally meant for those with smaller builds, the OMEGA series accommodates those with a height <5'11" and weighing under 240 lbs. But with the launch of the Titan Evo 2022 series, which came in three size options, there was no need to make a separate line strictly for smaller gamers. So if you don't fall within those specific recommendations, there's a good chance you may not find this specific Secretlab chair comfortable.

The OMEGA series still comes with the 165° backrest, but you'll be using a strapped lumbar pillow rather than the built-in lumbar support. The armrests are not replaceable, and the head pillow is a strapped version as well. But, the cold-cure foam does come with the gaming chair, so there isn't much of a difference in sitting quality.

A big plus to the OMEGA series that the Titan Evo 2022 had to forgo in the "merge" was the more enclosed seat base. The snug-fit seat base made for a comfortable yet cozy sitting and gaming experience while playing games. Especially for those who enjoy lying back and relaxing on their chair while concentrating during a match.

At the time of this writing, there are only a limited number of versions left of the OMEGA series Secretlab PRIME™ 2.0 PU Leather on the Secretlab website. The ones available all fall under a collaboration such as their World of Warcraft collection and there are no single colors available. While you may think it's better to buy secondhand, you would have to forgo the 5-year warranty that comes with all new Secretlab gaming chair purchases. Which may end up saving more money in the long run.

While the Titan 2020 Series Gaming Chair has also received the discontinuation notice, there's still a specific set of people that will enjoy it over the previous two. The Titan 2020 is among the best gamer chairs for gamers who love to sit cross-legged or prop their legs up on the chair in some fashion. This is a result of the leveled seat base, which the Titan 2022 Evo series chose to forgo during the merge.

There are major differences between the OMEGA and Titan 2020 series, such as the fact that the Titan 2020 has a recommended height range from 5'9" to 6'7" and a weight recommendation of under 290 lbs. This opens up the range for those who are on the taller side that wouldn't enjoy the compact design of the OMEGA.

The Titan 2020 still comes with a strapped memory foam head pillow and a non-replaceable 4D armrest. But unlike the OMEGA, there's the benefit of a 2-way adjustable lumbar support, making it slightly better for long-term usage. The only caveat though is the fact that the Titan 2020 series tends to have a deeper initial backrest angle, making it less likely to support the back without properly adjusting it to your own individual body.

Everything else that the OMEGA and Titan Evo 2022 series has does carry over as well, such as:

• 165° backrest tilt
• 5-year warranty
• Cold-cure foam
• Steel frame
• Class 4 hydraulics mechanism

Currently, there are limited options for the SoftWeave™ Fabric, PRIME™ 2.0 PU Leather, NAPA Leather available on the Secretlab website. The Titan 2020 series does come in at a slightly lower price point than the Titan Evo 2022 series, but it's not by much.

To discover more about what makes the Titan 2020 series still worth considering for your next gaming chair, read our full review.

One of the reasons why Secretlab gaming chairs are so popular is the fact that there is an option for every gamer, regardless of height or weight. Buyers weighing up to 395 lbs should feel secure sitting in the Secretlab Titan Evo XL. The 35-inch tall backrest allows especially tall gamers and pro athletes to rest their heads comfortably on the included magnetic head pillow.

The build quality of a gaming chair is crucial with larger users since there is more stress on essential parts like the backrest, seat, and base. With a construction that heavily relies on steel and not just hard plastic, even the base of the chair accommodates big and tall gamers. Benefiting from ADC12 aluminum, the bottom is still light enough to roll around easily on its XL PU casters, but still sufficient to support such a large gaming chair.

The Titan Evo XL offers everything the regular-sized version of the chair brings to the table, including 4-way L-adapt lumber support which moves up down in, and out to align to any spine. Unlike many other big and tall gaming chairs, the Titan Evo XL is available in the same wide variety of fabric and color options as the smaller sizes. Whether a gamer prefers Secretlabs's especially durable Hybrid faux leather or their patented SoftWeave Plus fabric, it's simple to craft a unique chair that matches any gaming room style.

Becoming rather pricey with upgrades and certain fabric choices, the Titan Evo XL still is in the same price range as the manufacturer's smaller offerings. Even so, there are more budget-friendly big and tall gaming chairs out there, most notably the Fantasylab Big and Tall Gaming Chair with a 400 lb weight capacity and massage capabilities.

Secretlab only sells a few gaming chair models at any one time, but they still cater to everyone including big and tall gamers, lovers of pink chairs, and even the smallest customers. The Secretlab Titan Extra Extra Small was initially created as a gag for April Fool's Day in 2021, as a miniature-sized gaming chair. What Secretlab would later realize is that this "gag" had great potential for small gamers and brought it into production with the launch of the Titan Evo 2022 series. This fits closer to a fusion of the Titan Evo 2022 and the OMEGA 2020.

It features the cozy, rounded seat base the OMEGA 2020 series has and combines it with the durable materials of the Titan Evo 2022 series, the SoftWeave Plus Fabric, and the NEO Hybrid Leatherette. But it does not have an adjustable lumbar support system, magnetic head pillow, or 4D armrests. You should also keep in mind this chair only comes in three colors, Stealth (Black) for the NEO Hybrid Leatherette and Plush Pink and Frost Blue for the SoftWeave Plus Fabric.

While the Titan XXS series is meant to be more of a collectible, it still has the required Furniture Industry Research Association (FIRA) certification that labels it as children's furniture, which features child-friendly locking casters, a maximum weight of 154 lbs, and a maximum height of 5'3". If you fall outside the weight and height required for the Titan Evo 2022 small size, have a little one who likes to join you for your gaming sessions, or simply want to collect a novelty from Secretlab, then this is the best gaming chair for you.

Perhaps because leather is synonymous with luxury, most gaming chairs are adorned in either this material or faux leather. Leather definitely has some advantages, especially with how easy it is to clean up the spills that inevitably happen near gaming desks. Regardless, some gamers prefer the soft feel of cloth, which is why Secretlab developed their unique SoftWeave Plus fabric for their Titan Evo chairs.

Secretlab first introduced its SoftWeave material in 2018, weaving together dense segments of short yarn to form an especially strong and durable fabric blend. In 2022, Secretlab unleashed a new and improved SoftWeave Plus which had a looser weave of the fabric, allowing more air to penetrate the material. SoftWeave Plus also enables designers to have fine control over patterns, resulting in some more detailed style options.

RELATED: Are Secretlab Gaming Chairs Worth It?

Secretlab Titan Evo 2022 gaming chairs with SoftWeave Plus Fabric are ideal for gamers who live in hot and humid locales. Sweat and moisture lingers on the surfaces of leather and faux leather which leads to some unpleasant intense gaming sessions. A gamer wouldn't want to wear a leather T-shirt all day in the hot sun, so the breathability of fabric gaming chairs definitely has some practical benefits. Unfortunately, one drawback of the SoftWeave Plus Fabric becomes apparent if a gamer isn't careful enough when eating or drinking. Removing or preventing stains from a SoftWeave Plus Fabric chair isn't impossible, but it requires a little more effort than with faux leather. Secretlab does sell some specially formulated fabric wipes and cleaners to make the process easier.

With the introduction of Softweave Plus, the company also offered a healthy number of new styles for its fabric chairs. There still aren't as many special edition designs as with Hybrid Leatherette chairs, but that will likely change as long as Secretlab's fabric remains popular. Otherwise, Secretlab SoftWeave Plus gaming chairs are available in the same small, regular, and XL sizes as the standard Titan Evo 2022.

Despite their comfort, sometimes a gaming chair looks odd in a traditional office space. In that case, an ergonomic office chair may be the best option. The NeueChair is technically a subsidiary of Secretlab and is an office chair by default, but that doesn't mean you can't use it for gaming. Rather than fabric or leather, the NeueChair uses a patented NeueMesh which consists of three layers of mesh to create maximum comfort and breathability. This chair is perfect for those long hours at the home office and when you get off, it still maintains that comfort when you want to switch over gaming for the night.

A unique feature of the NeueChair that some people also might be interested in is the ControlShift adjustments. Rather than the under-chair lever to control the height and tilt lock, there are controls right underneath the armrests. The right lever adjusts the height of the seat while the left lever controls the locking and unlocking of the backrest tilt.

Unlike Secretlab gaming chairs, the NeueChair also has a seat depth adjustment, allowing you to move the seat base forward and backward to fit the shape of your legs and knees. This adjustment is essential in ergonomics, as it keeps the legs level and comfortable, preventing the legs from losing circulation as you sit for long periods of time.

The NeueChair comes in two different "colors", although it's more like the accents and strength of the aluminum. There's the Silver option, which features polished aluminum accents, and the Obsidian variation, which has a plated layer, creating a darker finish to the accents. This plated layer does increase durability and protects against corrosion.

If you spend more time at your desk typing up emails, creating content, or simply doing your job but still want to game for an hour or two after work, then you're going to want to try out the NeueChair. You may also want to consider this option if breathability is your number one factor in choosing a Secretlab chair, as the mesh is great at letting air flow through. The mesh might not fight off stains as much as the Secretlab NEO™ Hybrid Leatherette, but the larger holes do make for less area for stains to occur.

Best Secretlab Gaming Chair Accessories

Another strong selling point of Secretlab chairs is their modular construction, which allows for straightforward customization. The company also supports existing gaming chairs with far more accessories than other manufacturers including add-ons like alternative armrests, skins, and footrests.

Most gamers would hardly call the standard PU-coated armrest tops of the Secretlab Titan Evo 2022 uncomfortable. However, if your elbows are begging for some added comfort, the PlushCell Memory Foam Armrests are a great option. The CloudSwap technology used in Secretlab's chairs makes it an almost instant upgrade to replace the existing armrest tops, thanks to the magic of magnets. The pair of PlushCell Memory Foam Armrests can face any direction, so the installation process is impossible to get wrong.

If a gamer enjoys reclining in their chair, a footrest is a great way to keep your legs and feet from aimlessly dangling. Other gamers may have legs that are a bit too short for the chair that they currently own. To solve the issue, Secretlab recently released their Premium Footrest which is meticulously designed to sit just at the right height for their chairs. They are also exceptionally comfortable with 2 layers of PlushCell Memory Foam and cold-core foam for the right balance between softness and firmness. A surface that is curved on the edges and flat on the footrest's top provides users with several positions to rest their aching feet.

If you ever have used a slipcover to transform the look of an old sofa, you might have mixed impressions about the results. The fact is most of these covers weren't designed to precisely conform to the shape of a piece of furniture. With Secretlab Skins, the manufacturer seeks to change what is possible with fabric covers, precision-mapping them to seamlessly adhere to a Titan Evo chair.

Often available in more than 20 style choices, the SoftWeave Plus Fabric covers install in a few different sections on chairs within 3 or so minutes. Special edition Skins are a great way to celebrate your favorite game every year or two without having to purchase an entirely new chair. Skins also add more cushioning to a Titan Evo chair and protect a chair's original fabric or leather from damage and wear.

The Secret to Deciding on a Secretlab Chair

Despite only selling two basic lines of gaming chairs, Secretlab offers an unprecedented amount of customization on each model. Size is the most critical factor when deciding on a Secretlab chair, with the company offering everything from the diminutive Titan Extra Extra Small to the massive Titan Evo XL. The average gamer will feel perfectly content sitting in a regular-size Secretlab chair, but it's vital to check the height and weight recommendations of each option before purchasing.

The debate on whether the Neo Hybrid Leatherette or SoftWeave Plus Fabric is the right choice for a buyer is a tricky one. Ultimately, a gamer needs to determine if they desire soft breathable cloth fabric or the smooth luxurious, and spill-rejecting qualities of faux leather. For the ultimate status symbol, Secretlab also produces authentic Napa leather chairs, but it's often a chore to find them in stock.

Even more perplexing for some buyers is deciding on what they want their chair to look like. It's hard to go wrong with signature Secretlab styles like Stealth, Black, Classic, or Royal, as these tend to blend in with almost any gaming room. However, the company also constantly invents special editions that pay tribute to famous Esports teams or the most popular games of the day. If a buyer is afraid to get stuck with a design that they will regret in a year or two, Secretlab Skins are an ingenious way to almost instantly change the look of a chair.

Truthfully, customer satisfaction is so high with any Secretlab gaming chair, that the prospect of disappointment with a purchase is insignificant. Even so, as some of the best gamer chairs, Secretlab chairs can withstand years of abuse, so expect any candidate to become a permanent fixture in your gaming room.
