Many have asked: ‘what is the best Secretlab chair’? At any point in time, the ‘best’ Secret Labs gaming chair is the most recent edition. As of mid-2023, that title belongs to the Titan Evo. It’s the most advanced model with the widest array of available styles. Beyond the Titan Evo is the Titan 2020 Series. There’s also an Omega version, a 2020 Titan XL, and a Neue office chair. This article ranks the best Secretlab gaming chairs available to buy right now.
The Titan Evo 2022 Series is the best Secretlab gaming chair available right now. Its cutting-edge features support top esports teams like Team Liquid — and chess stars like Magnus Carlsen.
Both use Titan Evo chairs as a key part of their performance optimization strategies. In that scenario, the Titan Evo serves up the best adjustability and variety of designs.
Even so, all Secretlab chairs are designed for the same end: to support healthy neutral postures and movement. So if the latest and greatest Titan Evo is too expensive for your budget, cheaper Secretlab chairs are well worth a look.
Best Secretlab Gaming Chair Picks
These high-end gaming chairs are suitable for the most hardcore gamers and desk workers. There are now five gaming chairs in Secretlab’s collection.
- Titan Evo 2022: available in 3 sizes; integrated 4-way lumbar; magnetic headrest; 50+ styles.
- Neuechair: full-mesh office chair with robust, user-friendly functionality.
- Titan 2020 Series: for sizes 5’9″ (175 cm) and up; integrated 2-way lumbar (depth-adjustable only).
- Omega 2020: external lumbar pillow, bladed seat edges, for sizes 5’3″ and taller (limited availability).
- Titan XL 2020: same as Titan 2020, but for sizes 5’11” and taller (limited availability)
Limited 2020 supply: the three 2020 Series chairs are only available while supplies last. By the end of 2023, the entire 2020 collection will likely be sold out forever.
Titan Evo 2022 Series
This is the only Secretlab gaming chair available in small, medium, and XL sizes. On the ergonomic front, the Titan Evo 2022 introduced several new features.
A strapless magnetic headrest provides a slick look and a massive 11″ height adjustment range. Complementing that is a 4-way adjustable lumbar support.
Rounding out the highlights is a flat, spacious seat with a waterfall edge and mild side bolsters. Combined, this trio makes it very easy to maintain crisp neutral postures for long periods.
Upholsteries
Secretlab’s latest upholstery iterations improve on breathability, softness, and durability.
- NEO Hybrid Leatherette: features a resin top laminate bonded to a base PU layer. The resin layer recreates the luster of NAPA leather with an ultra-smooth, soft and supple grain. 12x more durable than regular PU leather.
- Softweave Plus: debuts a new technical knitting method that interlaces loops of high-strength yarn fibers. This allows more air to pass through, making it the most breathable gaming chair fabric on the market.
After over 100 hours in each type, I find both are decently breathable and comfortable. Leatherette is easier to keep clean; Softweave chairs need stain cleaning every 6 months or so.
Despite this hassle, I prefer Softweave. I find the extra softness of the fabric very relaxing, especially when working from home. It feels like working in pajamas!
- Breathability: both stay cool over long sessions. Even so, SoftWeave is more porous and definitely more breathable.
- Tactile sensation: SoftWeave has a soft, plush feel like luxury sofa fabric. However, leatherette has a sleeker, more corporate-style look.
- Maintenance: leatherette is tough, stain-resistant, and easy to clean. Food and drink spills wipe away easily. In contrast, Softweave chairs absorb dust and body oils. Every six months, you’ll need to clean and deodorize your chair to keep it looking (and smelling) like new.
How To Clean
Softweave fabric cleaning is annoying — but easy to do with common household ingredients. For fast results, I scrub out stains with detergent and a scouring pad.
For deeper cleanings, baking soda and a vacuum cleaner are the only extras you’ll need. learn more:

These tabs list the sizing specs and features of the best high-end gaming chair available today:
| Dimension | Titan 2022 Small | Medium | XL |
| Seat | 17.7″ (W) x 18.9″ (D) | 18.5″ (W) x 19.3″ (D) | 19.3″ (W) x 19.7″ (D) |

Neue Office Chair
What’s the difference between an ergonomic office chair and a gaming chair? The Neue Office Chair (aka NeueChair) prioritizes back support with its mid-back design. That keeps in upright postures with a neck neatly balanced atop the shoulders.
It’s a full-mesh beauty with a nice blend of luxury and ergonomic muscle. It has a polished steel frame, 4-way adjustable lumbar support, a seat slider, and plenty more.
The highlight feature (in my opinion) is its Infinite Tilt functionality. Most office chairs (including the pricey Aeron) only let you lock your recline in a few positions.
In contrast, the Neue’s Infinite Tilt lets you lock at any angle between 85-130°. That’s a nice extra giving you more opportunities to move while sitting.
Summary of Specifications
Priced at $649, the Neue slots between the cheapest sub-$300 ergonomic chairs and the priciest Herman Miller ones. If you’re looking for more luxury than cheap models without going overboard, NeueChair is a great fit.
- Armrests: 2D adjustable (up and down, side-to-side).
- Seat: height and depth adjustable.
- Backrest: recline from 85° to 130°; tilt tension and angle lock.
- Lumbar: height & depth adjustable
- Warranty: 12 years on the frame; 5 years on components; 3 years on armrests, casters & gas lift.
- Seat width x depth: 19.6″ (W) x 16.5″-18.5″ (D)
- Backrest width x height: 19.5″ (W) x 22.4″ (H)
- Floor to seat range: 18.5-22″
- Size rating: 5’3″ to 6’0″; up to 240 pounds
If you’re looking for an office-styled equivalent with the quality and luxury that Secretlab is famous for, this is the one!

Titan 2020 Series
The Secretlab Titan 2020 gaming chair was released in October 2019. I used Stealth and Cyberpunk editions for two years of full-time desk work before upgrading to a 2020 Series.
The biggest functional difference with the Titan Evo 2022 is sizing. The Titan 2020 Series is only suitable for sizes 5’9″ (175 cm) and taller. This is because the 2020 chair’s integrated lumbar is not height-adjustable.
I stand 5’9″, the minimum height Secretlab suggests for this chair. For my size, the lumbar feels a tough high — but still usable (barely). Shorter sizes will find that the integrated curve will hit too high, causing pain instead of support.

Titan 2020 Vs Titan Evo 2022
Both chairs do a similar job at supporting healthy neutral postures. The Titan Evo differs with more targeted sizing (3 size options) and refined features:
| Spec | Titan 2020 | Titan Evo 2022 |
| Lumbar support | Depth-adjustable | Height x depth-adjustable |
| Headrest | Memory foam pillow on straps | Strapless magnetic memory foam |
| Recline Range | 85-165° + multifunction tilt | Same as the 2020 |
| Sizing | 5’9″ to 6’7″; 290-pound capacity | Medium: 5’7″ to 6’2″; 285 pounds |
| Price | $549-$644 (S, M, XL options) | From $484 (limited availability) |
As of mid-2023, Titan 2020 chairs are rapidly running out of stock. Once the last models are sold out, this collection will be gone forever!
Secretlab Omega 2020
The Omega is a compact gaming chair for sizes 5’3″ to 5’11”. My 5’9″ size found it a perfect fit. In fact, my Secretlab Omega 2020 is one of my favorite gaming chairs.
It differs from the Titan 2020 with bladed seat edges and an external memory foam lumbar pillow. The bladed seat edges are there to dissuade you from putting your feet up.
Instead, they encourage you to keep your feet planted, thereby ensuring good posture. Also, the memory foam lumbar pillow is super easy to use.
If you’ve never used a lumbar support system before, this is a great way to learn. Try to target support just above your beltline. Because of the generous size of the pillow, you don’t even need to be exact.
Besides the lumbar support, my favorite aspect of my Omega chair was its Softweave fabric. It’s soft, breathable, and very comfortable.
On the flip side, I’m not a fan of the hard, bladed seat edges. I’ve enjoyed hundreds of hours of comfort in my Omega chair. I got used to them. Even so, I much prefer the flat edges of Titan-style seats.
Secretlab Omega Specifications
- Functionality: 4D armrests; backrest recline from 85°-165°; multifunction tilt.
- Cover options: PU leather; NAPA leather; Softweave Fabric.
- Support: memory foam neck and lumbar pillows with cooling gel inserts.
- Foundation: carbon steel frame; aluminum base; Class 4 gas lift; PU caster wheels.
- Size rating: 5’3″ to 5’11”; 240-pound weight capacity.
- Warranty: 5 years.
Only a limited supply of Omega gaming chairs are still available. In the Secretlab U.S. Store, all Softweave Omega chairs are sold out forever; a few PU leather versions remain. Availability in other regions vary.

Titan XL 2020 Series
Secretlab’s original XL gaming chair was released in early 2020. The original Titan XL supported sizes 5’11” to 6’10” with a 390-pound weight capacity. Here’s how its dimensions compare with the Titan Evo 2022:
| Spec | Titan XL 2020 | Titan XL 2022 |
| Seat (including edges) | 22.6″ (W) x 19.9″ (D) | 19.3″ (W) x 19.7″ (D) |
| Backrest | 22″ (W) x 33.5″ (H) | 22″ (W) x 35″ (H) |
| Seat height | 19.1″ to 22.8″ | 18.1″ to 21.9″ |
| Size rating | 5’11” to 6’10”; 390 pounds | 5’11” to 6’9″; 395 pounds |
| Price | From $559 (limited availability) | $599 to $644 |
The Titan 2020 XL is a super-sized version of the Titan 2020, with the same features. But these days, availability is very limited.
Across all regions, there might be less than 50 Titan XL 2020 chairs in stock. XL users looking for a bargain can consider snapping one up before they’re all sold out.
Best Secretlab Accessories
A good desk chair isn’t enough to ward off the many technostress problems of this era. Beyond healthy sitting support, today’s desk workers are plagued by text neck syndrome, rampant obesity, chronic lethargy, widespread apathy, and more.
To address this bigger picture, Secretlab has developed an entire ecosystem of workstation gear. Combined, this collection can help boost your movement, improve your neck posture, and make you feel happier.
- Magnus Pro Standing Desk: a luxurious standing desk with an array of add-ons including brilliant lighting effects.
- Secretlab Professional Footrest: this multi-mode footrest can unlock the potential of your multifunction tilt.
- Plushcell Armrest Caps: these soft velour snap on magnetic caps add decadent luxury to the sitting experience.
- Technogel Armrest Caps: armrest caps with a special cooling gel insert.
- Secretlab Memory Foam Lumbar Pillows: stylish pillows that can support your lower back in more casual postures.
- Secretlab Plushie Pillows: fun throw pillows for an extra splash of snuggly seated comfort.
Magnus Pro Standing Desk
My Magnus Pro standing desk has completely changed the way I work. On the downside, it took me several months to get the hang of shifting between sitting and standing.
These days, I’m comfortable shifting on the fly – without disturbing my work. Now that I’m in the zone, working at this battle station has been a joy.
While sitting for desktop computing, my Titan chair does the bulk of the posture-supporting work. If I need to use my phone, I raise the desk a few inches. Then, I can use my device without tilting my neck forward.
Standing, this desk enables good posture by letting you rest your forearms on the table top. Once my legs start feeling tired, I lower the desk and use my Titan chair.
This combination covers all possible computing scenarios, ensuring good posture throughout. Highly recommended.

ChairsFX advice: Secretlab Titan Evo chairs are fantastic as is. Skins suit thrill-seekers craving even more psychological titillation.
Secretlab Professional Footrest
Secretlab has two footrests within its collection. The Secretlab Professional Footrest is coming this summer. Secretlab gave me an advance copy to test out. Before this model, I used a cheap (under $40) Mind Reader footrest.
The $199 Secretlab Professional Footrest is a massive upgrade. There’s no listed weight limit. Even so, it supports my entire 160-pound standing weight with a rock-solid feel.
A switch under the unit lets you switch between stationary and dynamic modes. Stationary mode lets you free rock or lock at any angle, with a +15° to -15° range. Use your toes and rear heel for control.
Dynamic mode removes the locking functionality. Then, you can use the footrest at any angle. To move it, apply pressure with your feet to tilt the footrest.

Secretlab Premium Footrest
Secretlab’s Premium footrest is available now. It’s a firm, massive block of Secretlab’s cold-cured foam, wrapped in a decadent velour shell.
The velour shell is removable and machine-washable. That means you can enjoy the decadent velour cover with bare feet guilt-free.
The footrest itself is a generous 21.7″ wide, providing enough space to support most sizes. Unlike the steel, high-tech Pro version, this model is specially designed to help you relax. As a bonus, it also a lot cheaper than the Pro:

Plushcell Armrest Caps
Secretlab Plushcell armrests caps are only for Titan Evo 2022 Series chairs. These are a luxury upgrade over the included PU versions. They’re stuffed with memory foam and covered with soft velour.
There are three color options: black, silver, and pink. I’ve got a set of silver ones. Compared to the stock PU armrest caps, the Plushcells are a lot thicker.
They’re also easy to install. Simply yank the original ones off and slap on your Plushcell caps. Magnets will snap them in place, ensuring a seamless, enjoyable transition.
I really enjoy using mine. However, they feel too delicate for full-time, long-term use. As a result, I use them sparingly — as a reward, when I deserve to be pampered.
Bottom line: a wonderful but extraneous addition to your Secretlab battle station. If you deserve decadent luxury and have the means, give Plushcells a go.

Technogel Armrest Caps
Titan Evo 2022 chairs come with CloudSwap armrest technology. These let you remove the armrest caps with custom ones. Technogel armrest caps were Secretlab’s original Cloudswap add-ons.
Instead of soft, Pluscell velour covers, these have stock PU ones. These are filled with premium gel that regulates temperature by absorbing body heat. They also provide a softer, more welcoming cushion than the included PU plastic caps.
Special Edition Lumbar Pillows
Secretlab Titan gaming chairs come with an integrated, fully-adjustable lumbar support. Even so, Secretlab memory foam lumbar support pillows also work. When Secretlab started making special edition designs, pillow popularity skyrocketed.
With a Titan Evo 2022 chair, these serve a few purposes. First, if the seat is too deep for your legs, adding a lumbar pillow fixes the problem. Second, if you prefer squisher lower back support, these do a great job.
Third, the vibrant styles will surely spice up the look of your chair. On top of that, these also work as a huge upgrade with all types of gaming chairs.

Pastel Plushies
Here’s a soft, squishy pillow made for hugs and cuddles. It was released as an add-on for Secretlab’s new Titan XXS for kids. Even so, it’s a nice holiday extra for anyone who spends long periods sitting at a desk or in a car.
Plushies come in Mint Green, Plush Pink, or Frost Blue. Inside is a microbead filling designed for cuddles. It has no ergonomic purpose and you can certainly live without one.
Even so, it’s a unique workstation accessory built to Secretlab standards of style and comfort.
