Early into the new year, Secretlab Titan Evo 2022 Series chairs crossed the $500 mark. That brought renewed interest back to the Omega 2020 Series gaming chair. It’s a compact model for sizes 5’3″ to 5’11”. Of note, the Omega is now $100 cheaper than a small or medium Titan 2020 Series. This article reports on the condition of my Omega 2020 chair after two years of use. I also compare it to my new Titan 2022 Series.

Omega 2020 review conclusion
After two years, my Secretlab Omega Triple Black SoftWeave still looks and works like new.

These days, I use a medium Titan Evo 2022 Series (Cookies and Cream fabric). It has better ergonomic features than my old Omega. Using those, I’m able to set more precise back support for my size.

However, after extended use in both, the Omega has delivered better posture support than my new Titan has! With Titan 2022 chairs now over $500, Omega 2020 chairs are suddenly relevant again for $100 less.

Secretlab Omega Review (after 2 years)

Two years ago, I bought a Secretlab Omega and Titan 2020 for testing and review purposes. I used each for around six months full-time.

My one quibble with the Titan was its depth-adjustable lumbar support. I found it a touch too high for my 5’9″ size. In contrast, the Omega’s lumbar pillow is the best I’ve ever tried. Using that with the Titan fixed my issue!

In the end, I used the Omega a lot more than the Titan. Over longer periods, it provided better back support. As a result, it delivered a more comfortable sitting experience.

Omega 2020 Features

The Omega is a full-featured luxury gaming chair designed for small, slim sizes. It differs from Titan Series chairs in two significant ways. First, instead of an integrated lumbar, the Omega comes with a memory foam lumbar pillow.

Omega memory foam pillows measure 11.4 x 11.4″ (29 x 29 cm).

This is the best lumbar pillow I’ve ever tried. It has just the right level of squishiness to perfectly fill your lower back curve. In fact, Omega pillows are so popular that Secretlab now offers a collection of stylized ones.

The other significant feature is the Omega’s bladed seat edges. These chairs are designed for short and slim sizes only!

Features summary

  • Functionality: 4D armrests; backrest recline from 85°-165°; multi-angle tilt mechanism.
  • Cover options: choice of premium PU leather, genuine NAPA leather or Softweave Fabric.
  • Comfort: cold cure foam padding; memory foam neck and lumbar pillows with cooling gel inserts.
  • Foundation: carbon steel frame; aluminum base; Class 4 gas lift; PU caster wheels.

Available from Secretlab in North America, Canada, the UK, Europe, Oceania, Singapore, Malaysia, and South Korea.

Omega sizing

The Secretlab Omega 2020 Series is a compact chair for slim bodies. People over 5’10” or those wide wide waists may find the seat too snug for comfort.

  • Seat (including edges): 22″ (W) x 19.3″ (D)
  • Backrest: 21″ (W) x 31.5″ (H)
  • Seat height: 18.9″ to 21.9″
  • Size rating: 5’3″ to 5’11”; 240-pound weight capacity

The entire seat (measured from the outer blade edges) measures a spacious 22″. However, the seat itself is only 14.7″ wide. Meanwhile, the space between the inner wing edges measures 18″.

Omega seat closeup and measurements

Protip: most people 5’10” and shorter will find an excellent fit in an Omega chair. However, most adult-sized desks are 28″ or higher. Anyone shorter than 5’9″ — despite a well-fitting chair — will suffer a poor fit at a desk.

Sizing a chair with desk
A good fit in a chair can fall apart when paired with an ill-fitting desk.

The simple solution to this problem is to add an ergonomic footrest. That will help you to sit taller at a desk, regardless of how short your legs are.

Likes & Dislikes After 2 Years

In the short term, the Omega isn’t as comfortable as Titan chairs. The bladed seat edges restrict leg movement. That can get annoying, especially when you want to relax. As well, you have to readjust the loose lumbar pillow every time you sit down.

The funny thing is, the Omega’s downsides are also its best points. For one thing, the lumbar pillow is (in my opinion) the best in the business. It’s a good size with the perfect amount of squishiness. On top of that, it’s easy to use and very comfortable.

More importantly, the bladed seat edges force you to sit with good posture at all times. On a day-to-day basis, those restrictions can feel annoying. But over several months, they pay off with supple limbs and a super-healthy spine.

Pros
  • Excellent back support
  • Best-in-class lumbar pillow
  • Cheaper than Titan chairs
Cons
  • Bladed seat restricts leg movement
  • The lumbar pillow isn’t as high-tech an an integrated one

Secretlab Omega Alternatives

Find here comparisons of the Omega vs its most viable premium alternatives.

Omega vs Titan 2020 Series

The Titan 2020 is a larger chair with an integrated lumbar and flat seat. The Omega suits smaller sizes with a compact, bladed seat style.

I used a Titan 2020 Series Stealth for 6 months. Then, I switched to an Omega Triple Black SoftWeave for six months. After that, I used my Omega more often than my Titan.

Omega from Secretlab USD $$449-$524

Titan 2020 Series chairs are also available from Secretlab for $499-$539.

Sizing

Here are the dimensions of both 2020 Series chairs:

2020 Spec Omega Titan 2020
Seat (including edges) 22″ (W) x 19.3″ (D) 20.5″ (W) x 19.7″ (D)
Backrest 21″ (W) x 31.5″ (H) 21.7″ (W) x 33″ (H)
Seat height 18.9″ to 21.9″ 18.7″ to 22.4″
Size rating 5’3″ to 5’11”; 240 pounds 5’9″ to 6’7″; 290 pounds

I stand 5’9″ (177 cm). Based on Secretlab size ratings, I can fit in both chairs. Even so, the fit isn’t perfect. I find the Omega a shade more compact than I’d like. Those 5’7″ and shorter should find it perfect.

The Titan is technically rated for my size. Indeed, the seat and backrest fit well. Sadly, the (non-height adjustable) lumbar support hits a touch too high. For my size, the Omega worked out as the better fit.

Comfort

In the short term, I found the Titan’s flat seat style way more comfortable. It provides plenty of legroom with the freedom to sit however you like. As a result, I developed a habit of sitting with one leg up.

Titan vs Omega seat styles
The Titan’s flat seat style makes it easier to sit with poor posture.

Sitting willy-nilly in a Titan was more comfortable day-by-day. However, the imbalances caused by my faltering habits caused stiffness and pain over time.

Back Support

Sloppy sitting is comfortable but bad for your back! After a spell getting loose in a Titan chair, I started feeling tighter on one side of my body. That made my sitting posture degrade even further!

Why is my gaming chair hurting my back?
Without the discipline to sit straight, a flat seat style can harm rather than help.

When things got too painful, I switched back to my Omega chair. Its bladed seat edges force me to sit straight. After a few days of disciplined sitting, my painful imbalances usually even out.

Bottom line: the Omega forces you to sit with good posture at all times. As a result, you’re not likely to develop sloppy sitting habits.

That’s the gist of Omega vs Titan 2020 usability differences (from a 5’9″ full-timer perspective). For a closer look at the technical differences, see this:

Secretlab Omega vs Titan comparison

Omega vs Titan 2022 Series

Titan 2022 Series chairs come with spectacular upgrades over 2020 versions. For example, check out the difference between 2020 Series Triple Black SoftWeave fabric and the new version:

SoftWeave Triple black 2020 vs 2022
2022 SoftWeave is thicker, more breathable, and more visually complex.

The 2022 Series is better than the Omega in every way — on paper. It comes in three sizes with superior ergonomics, better upholsteries, and a wider range of styles.

On the flip side, the Omega is cheaper than new Titan chairs. As well, if good posture is your priority, you’re likely to get better value from an Omega.

Omega vs Titan 2022 Sizing

My 5’9″ size enjoys a perfect fit in a medium-sized Titan chair. The Omega also fits me well, but with a bit more snugness.

Spec Omega Titan 2022 (small) Titan 2022 (medium)
Seat (including edges) 22″ (W) x 19.3″ (D) 17.7″ (W) x 18.9″ (D) 18.5″ (W) x 19.3″ (D)
Backrest 21″ (W) x 31.5″ (H) 20″ (W) x 32.3″ (H) 21″ (W) x 33.5″ (H)
Seat height 18.9″ to 21.9″ 17.7″ to 20.5″ 17.7″ to 20.5″
Size rating 5’3″ to 5’11”; 240 pounds 4’11” to 5’6″; 285 pounds 5’7″ to 6’2″; 285 pounds

Omega vs Titan 2022 Features

The 2022 Series blows the Omega away with some ultra-fancy luxuries. Highlights include a 4-way adjustable integrated lumbar, magnetic headrest pillow, and three sizes.

Titan Ash chair ergonomic features
The Titan’s advanced headrest and lumbar systems provide next-level customization and support.

Another flashy extra is the Titan 2022 Series seat. It merges the best of 2020 Omega and Titan chairs into a sleek new style. Mild edges along the side gently coax your legs to stay straight. Even so, they provide plenty of space to sit cross-legged if you want.

I love sitting with one foot up in my Titan 2022. That feels a lot more comfortable than using an Omega. However, with one foot up, my posture has (again) gone askew.

Bottom line: the Titan 2022 is more advanced and comfortable than the Omega in the short term. Even so, the Omega’s bladed seat edges provide better posture support over the long term. As well, Omega chairs are now $100 cheaper than Titan 2022 chairs!

Omega 2020 Series $449-$489 from Secretlab

Titan 2022 Series Small and TItan 2022 Medium chairs are also available from Secretlab. Prices range between $549-$624.

Other Small Gaming Chairs

There are a few small gaming chairs worth considering instead of an Omega. For instance, like the Omega, the Noblechairs Epic is an old-school racer enjoying a 2022 resurgence. These days, elite teams like Mousesports, and Sprout eSports use Epic chairs. The Epic has also been Pokimane’s chair of choice since 2019!

Noblechairs Epic small gaming chair
The E[pic chair comes in a range of PU leather and fabric styles.

Head-to-head with the Omega, it has similar features, a shorter warranty, and slightly larger dimensions:

Noblechairs Epic Omega 2020
Features 4D arms, multifunction tilt, recline to 135° 4D arms, multifunction tilt, recline to 165°
Size rating 5’5″ to 6’2″ tall; up to 265 pounds 5’3″ to 5’11”; up to 240 pounds
Warranty 2 years 5 years
Price $539.00 on Amazon $449-$524 from Secretlab

On ChairsFX, the Epic had fallen off the radar after long periods out of stock. Those issues appear to be resolved. Now, they stand out as one of the best premium alternatives to the Omega chair.

Omega Chair cover options

2020 models come in a choice of Prime 2.0 PU leather, nylon fabric, or genuine NAPA leather. There are also several specialty designs.

Prime 2.0 PU leather

This is the most popular upholstery option. It feels soft to the touch, with no chemical smell. Like most premium leathers, breathability is decent. In hot weather, cheap leathers get sticky, while premium blends remain cool.

Omega PU leather color choices

There are five Prime 2.0 stock color options. As pictured above (L-R); Ash Grey, Royal Blue, Stealth, Classic White, and Black.

PU leather Omega from Secretlab USD $449

Available in North America, Canada, the UK, Europe, Oceania, Singapore, Malaysia, and South Korea.

Softweave fabric

Omega SoftWeave still ranks among the best fabric gaming chairs on the market. These models are softer, more breathable, and more durable than PU leather.

Secretlab Omega Softweave fabric chairs
Omega Softweave options: Pink D.Va; Cookies and Cream; Black; Ash.

2020 SoftWeave provides cool, cozy, and consistent comfort in all conditions. Omega 2020 chairs are available in four fabric styles (while stocks last).

Softweave Omega from Secretlab USD $479

Genuine leather

Plush genuine NAPA leather Omega models cost around $400 more than PU leather models. Despite the price, this model is very often sold out.

NAPA leather edition
The NAPA leather model sells for $700+ and is one of their top sellers.

The Omega leather edition comes in all-black buttery-smooth genuine leather. Over time, the leather takes to the nuances of your body shape and provides a rich, luxurious fit.

NAPA leather Omega from Secretlab USD $849

Available from Secretlab in North America, Canada, the UK, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore.

Special Editions

The Omega is also available in several special edition styles (while supplies last). We’ve updated many of our reviews to include both 2020 and 2022 Series prices. For instance, Secretlab partners with many esports teams. There are still seven Omega partner team models available for sale.
Secretlab Omega esports team chairs
Official team chairs: Newbee, Team Secret, Astralis , SK Telecom T1, Cloud9.

Omega Game of Thrones chairs are also available. These come in House Targaryen, Lannister, and Stark designs.

Conclusion

When Secretlab released its 2022 Series chairs, the Omega was to be phased out. Then, skyrocketing shipping and material costs raised the price of ergonomic chairs worldwide. In the chaos, the cost of Titan 2022 Series chairs went up to over $500!

Omega 2020 Series Review: is is still worth buying?
Circa early 2022, the Omega 2020 Series still offers excellent value for money.

That brought massive attention back to the Omega chair. Priced $100 less than 2022 Series models, it offers excellent value for money.

On top of that, it’s the last Secretlab chair with a bladed seat style. That style feels more restrictive than flat seat styles. But with legs forced together, you’re more likely to sit with crisp, perfect posture!

Bottom line: the Omega is cheaper than Titan 2022 Series chairs. Its bladed seat edges also make it easier to sit with good posture. After two years of owning one, I feel it remains one of the best gaming chairs in the world.
