Secretlab is a Singapore-based maker of high-end gaming chairs. Their collection has a small, large and extra-large model. Many of the world’s top esports teams use these chairs for full-time training. This Secretlab chair review summarizes the Omega, Titan and Titan XL gaming chairs. All offer superb ergonomic features, incredible comfort, and excellent back support.
Secretlab chairs come in dozens of styles, but there are only three models. The Omega is a slim-fitting chair, the Titan a large one and the Titan XL is super-sized. Each comes with 4D armrests, multifunction tilt-lock, and backrest recline from 85° to 165°.

Beyond dimensions, the other difference between the three chairs is the back support. The Omega uses a traditional lumbar pillow. The two Titan chairs use a slick internal lumbar device instead. Summary of differences:
Omega (S) | Titan (L) | Titan XL | |
---|---|---|---|
Size rating | 5'3" to 5'11"; 240 pounds | 5'9" to 6'7"; 290 pounds | 5'11" to 6'10"; 390 pounds |
Back support | Adjustable neck and lumbar pillows. | Internal lumbar + adjustable neck pillow. | Same as the Titan. |
Regular price | $419 to $439 | $459 to $519 | $539 to $559 |
Chair features
Secretlab chairs use the highest quality materials and the most advanced production techniques. Each build starts with a robot-welded, carbon steel frame. Over top goes ultra-resilient cold foam padding and high-quality fabric or leather covers.
All three Secretlab chairs have these features:
- Functionality: 4-directional armrests; recline from 85° to 165°; multi-angle tilt-lock.
- Upholstery: Choice of premium PU leather, Softweave Fabric or genuine NAPA leather.
- Padding: enhanced cold cure foam padding
- Free shipping & discounted prices when you buy direct.
The forward recline of the backrest to 85° is a nice touch that few other chairs offer. For intense computer work or gaming, many people tend to lean forward in their chairs. With Secretlab chairs, you can angle the backrest to 85° to support your body when you lean.

Secretlab chair models
There are three chairs in the product line: the Omega, Titan, and Titan XL. There are three differences between the Titan and Omega. First, the Titan supports larger sizes. Second, the Titan uses an internal lumbar support (the Omega uses a traditional pillow). Third, the Titan has a flat, wide seat with enough room to cross your legs.
In contrast, the ridged edges on the Omega’s seat keep legs closer together. That provides better posture support for your back but gives less wiggle room for your legs. Check our Secretlab Omega vs Titan comparison for more details.
Below is a quick look at each chair in the Secretlab product line. Each mini-profile also links to detailed reviews of each model.
Secretlab Omega
Price: $419 to $439
The Secretlab Omega is a compact gaming chair for slim, average-sized bodies. Its snug dimensions combined with Secretlab’s ultra-firm padding deliver superb back support. Enjoy long periods of high-octane computing in this chair — it’s good for your back!
Average-sized users can choose between the Omega or the larger Titan. If you prioritize comfort and legroom, choose a Titan. But with more free space, there’s a greater chance of sitting with sloppy posture.
As a result, those who prioritize a healthy posture while sitting should choose an Omega. Its padding and contoured edges keep your muscles relaxed, with your arms supported and your head in perfect position.
Buy the Omega from $419 to $439
Available from Secretlab for buyers in North America, the UK, Europe, Singapore, Malaysia, Oceania, and South Korea.
Omega features
There are two key differences between the Secretlab Omega and Titan chairs. First, the Omega supports the lower back with an extra-large adjustable lumbar pillow. In contrast, the Titan does away with the pillow and adds an internal lumbar system instead.
The other key difference between the two chairs is the seat design. The Titan has a flat wide seat. The Omega’s seat is narrower, with ridged edges that restrict leg movement. Beyond those differences, the Omega has the same rich features as the Titan chairs.
Omega sizing
- Seat width & depth: 22″ (W) x 20″ (D)
- Backrest height & width: 32″ (H) x 21″
- Size rating: people 5’3″ to 5’11” tall; up to 240 pounds

Several of the world’s top pro esports teams use either Titan or Omega chairs. The choice usually comes down to size or preference. But in the case of Team Newbee, all members are average-sized. As a result, they only use Omega chairs for their full-time training sessions.
Note that — like all Secretlab chairs — the Omega’s padding is very stiff. That is by design. In a post on their blog, Secretlab explains. In brief, firm padding does a better job of keeping your body sitting with a healthy, aligned posture. As a result, it’s a better choice for long-term health.
When you sit in the Omega, the padding will give only enough to take the shape of your legs and buttocks. When you stand up, the padding will pop back into its original shape. Even with years of use, this padding will look and perform like new.

Secretlab Titan
Price: $459 to $519
The Titan is (in our opinion) Secretlab’s flagship gaming chair. It comes in 24 variants that use either Softweave mesh fabric, PU leather or genuine NAPA leather.
Features
On top of the standard Secretlab features, the Titan also has an innovative internal lumbar support system. That feature rivals the internal lumbar systems on $1000+ ergonomic task chairs. Turn the knob on the side of the backrest to increase or decrease lumbar depth. Doing so gives you precision and depth control than a conventional lumbar pillow.
The Titan also has a flat, wide seat with enough room to cross your legs while sitting.

This is a chair for heavy bodies with thick legs and wide hips. Because they carry more weight, heavy people suffer worse effects from poor posture. The Titan XL is a healthy solution to that problem.
This chair will support long periods of comfortable sitting. At the same time, it will help you maintain a healthy posture. The result is less stress on the neck, back, hips, legs, and joints.
With less stress on your body, your mind’s cognitive abilities improve. That’s why the world’s top esports players use gaming chairs for training. If you are heavy or wide,
- Seat width & depth: 22.6″ x 19.9″ (D)

The Secretlab Titan XL is a very versatile chair for heavyweights. Use it for PC computing, gaming or even as a living room chair. Having one around can provide heavy bodies with relief under various conditions.
The combination of dense padding, a tall backrest and internal lumbar provide the key to crisp and effective back support. Turn a dial on the side to expand or deflate the lumbar support into the small of your back. Then lean into the backrest. Doing so will put your hips, spine and upper body muscles into a healthy sitting alignment.
With a consistent, healthy sitting posture, benefits include boosted energy levels and greater productivity.
Detailed Secretlab Titan XL Review
The Secretlab Titan XL is available for $539 to $559 from Secretlab. There are two PU leather options and two Softweave fabric ones.
Titan and Omega style options
Secretlab Titan and Omega chairs come in 34 leather or fabric design styles. This section summarizes the best design options for all models.
Prime 2.0 Premium PU leather is the most well-rounded and popular option. This material is soft and flexible with a premium leather feel. It’s also durable, resistant to liquids and easy to clean with a damp cloth.
SoftWeave Fabric is a custom upholstery blend of premium 350gsm short yarn. This material has a softer, cozier feel than the PU leather. It’s also the most breathable blend — no matter how long you sit, your Softweave chair will stay cool.
Softweave strands are woven together for high-tensile strength. That ensures the fabric doesn’t lose form, even after a couple of years of use.
The downside of Softweave is that it’s you need to be more careful drinking coffee, wine or grape juice. Stains will ruin the look of these chairs! To clean, use a vacuum or damp cloth with commercial fabric cleaner.
Standard PU leather designs
There are five standard leather designs. These come in 2-tone color schemes with a Titan or Omega symbol plus the Secretlab logo on the front and back.
These models offer a sleek, executive style well-suited to both a gaming room and a boardroom. Consider these models if you prefer a more muted, conservative style.
Softweave fabric
Softweave chairs are breathable, durable, and very comfortable to sit in for long periods. Many customers clamor for more Softweave design options. At present, both the Titan and Omega come in just four different styles.
Softweave models are a little more expensive than PU leather ones, and also more luxurious. The soft, breathable fabric is pleasant to the touch and always stays cool. The material is also pet-friendly and easy to clean with a damp cloth wipedown.

Entertainment collaborations
Beyond esports-related partnerships, Secretlab also has entertainment alliances resulting in branded chairs. For instance, through a partnership with HBO, Secretlab offers three Game of Thrones gaming chairs. A partnership with Warner Brothers entertainment resulted in a Batman, Joker, and limited edition Harley Quinn chair.
Who are Secretlab chairs for?
Secretlab chairs are ergonomic. That is, they adapt to the needs of the user, rather than the user having to adapt to the chair. They are also comfortable and support good posture. Several studies show that good posture has a positive effect on mood, energy levels and even the ability to concentrate.
By the same logic, with poor sitting posture, users tend to suffer stiffness, pain, varicose veins, and worse.
The fact is that everyone can benefit from using these chairs. To prove that point, Secretlab has made pro esports team partnerships a priority.
Full-time esports pros
Many of the world’s top pro esports teams use Secretlab chairs. Most teams have licensed chairs in both Omega and Titan variants.
Pro esports players work under stressful, mentally taxing conditions. A typical training day lasts 10-12 hours. During that time players will engage in solo play, team play, and conference calls. Pro-level gameplay demands lightning-fast reflexes and rapid-fire decision-making.
This is how Secretlab proved the value of their chairs, for the whole world to see.
Here’s what the pros have to say about Secretlab chairs:
- G2 Esports: “…unmatched quality and comfort…”
- Sk Telecom (T1): “the quality of their product is unparalleled…”
- Team Secret: “… they’re perfect for long hours of training…”
- Cloud9: “After trying their chairs out, we immediately understood what the fuss was about.”
General computer users
What’s the difference between a professional esports player and an office worker? Both sit full-time in front of a computer for a living.
But esports players tend to work longer hours under more intense conditions. So if Secretlab chairs can meet the needs of the pros, imagine what they can do for the average computer user.
If you are a pro esports player, rest assured that these chairs will meet your needs. If you’re a run-of-the-mill desk jockey, these chairs will exceed your needs.
So why not get the same level of comfort and support that the pros use? Doing so will let any computer user sit longer, work smarter and be more productive.
