There are now fifteen Softweave fabric gaming chair styles. Last year, Secretlab added a Soda Purple edition and a pair of Naruto chairs. In mid-2023, four Demon Slayer Softweave chairs were added to the collection. These join a lineup that includes Triple Black, Mint Green, Frost Blue, Plush Pink, and other standard designs. This article lets you browse the entire Secretlab Titan SoftWeave collection at a glance.
A fabric chair provides a softer, more breathable sitting experience than faux leather. Among all options, Secretlab makes the best fabric gaming chairs that money can buy. A big reason for that is scheduled updates.
Other brands pump out the same mass-produced chairs for years. In contrast, Secretlab revamps the Titan’s ergonomics and upholsteries every two years. The 2022 edition SoftWeave upgrade was significant.
2022 Series SoftWeave Plus debuts a new technical knitting method that achieves two ends. First, instead of a basket weave, it loops resilient yarn fibers in a looser weave that lets more air pass through.
Second, the new process allows for greater control over every pixel in a design. You can see the difference compared to other fabrics under a macro lens. As we go through each style, you’ll see how each takes advantage of this technology.
For instance, the new Demon Slayer chairs push design boundaries with more complex base fabric blends. They also layer embroidered extras on top for added effects.
Standard Softweave 2022 Series Designs
The Secretlab Titan Evo 2022 Series is the most ergonomically-advanced gaming chair on the market. Its highlights include a 4-way integrated lumbar system, strapless magnetic headrest, and an ergonomic seat that provides all-day sitting support.
Chairs come in small, medium, and XL sizes, suiting all sizes between 4’11” and 6’7″. For fabric upholstery fans, there are now seven standard Softweave styles. There are three neutral options.
Black absorbs all light energies; white reflects. There are also four base colors. These fall onto the cool and warm parts of the color spectrum.
I’ve got a few years of experience using neutral Softweave chairs. The Triple Black and Cookies and Cream versions are the safest picks in the collection. These blend seamlessly into any type of workspace.
The Arctic White is also a stunner — but is more likely to show stains. Beyond the neutral options, the appeal of the warm and cool options are subjective. These rankings are based on my own impressions:
- Triple Black: formal black with specks of white; works well in all types of setups.
- Cookies and Cream: inverted Triple Black; brighten your workspace while retaining formality.
- Plush Pink: white and pink threads combine in a weave that’s warm, soothing, and fun.
- Mint Green: cool green mixed with white produces a speckled effect that recalls nature.
- Soda Purple: stunning up-close visuals paired with a refreshing lime hue.
- Frost Blue: baby blue blended with white produces a mild icy-blue; good for creative work.
- Arctic White: off-white fabric with mild gray accents yields soft purity that’s easy on the eyes.
Triple Black: Suave
$569-$619 from Secretlab S, M, XL sizes
Triple Black SoftWeave fuses three shades of black threads into a sleek finish with subtle pop. Chromatic colors reflect light, sending more information to the eyes. Black does the opposite. It absorbs all colors, reflecting nothing back to the eyes.
Based on my experience with the 2020 version, this style will slide seamlessly into any type of setup. It doesn’t stand out — it blends in.
From a distance, the 2022 Triple Black looks like a lightly-dappled black. A closer look reveals more intricate details. The result seems conservative at a glance; it gets more interesting as you look closer.
In an office, it can serve as power executive chair. In a gaming room, it slides in as a stylish battle station centerpiece. This is a safe pick; expect it to blend into a room, rather than stand out.
(Subjectively) Rated #1: I find Triple Black the safest option for all tastes. Its sleek look integrates well in formal offices. At the same time, flecks of white add stimulation in colorful gaming rooms. If you can’t decide on a design, choose this one for assured happiness.

2022 Series Triple Black (small) $569 | 2022 Series Triple Black (XL) $619
Cookies and Cream: Fun & Formal
$569-$619 from Secretlab S, M, XL sizes
Two years ago, I upgraded from an Omega 2020 Triple Black to a medium-sized Titan Evo Cookies & Cream. This style blended well into my workspace — with a delightful splash of extra ‘pop’.
Black absorbs all colors. White reflects light wavelengths back to the eyes. On the Cookies and Cream chair, white specks light up a workspace without overwhelming it.
The black specks in the Cookies & Cream fabric give off a similar vibe as the Triple Black. Light that hits the black parts gets absorbed; light hitting the white specs get reflected.
In sunlight, the design comes alive with visual activity. At dusk, the dark, absorbent hues take over to give the chair a more somber air. This means you can brighten things up while adhering to strict corporate design norms.
Cookies and Cream Cleaning
Every light-colored Softweave chair has the same downside: staining. While you sit, the fabric absorbs body oil and dust. After around six months of full-time use, expect stains to start showing.
Lighter Softweave chairs show more noticeable stains. In my experience, that’s a good thing: a reminder to keep your chair fabric clean and hygienic. That’s a bit inconvenient — but easy to do using common household ingredients.

Rated #2: if you’re looking to get a BIT daring, choose Cookies and Cream. Be warned that half-yearly cleanings are recommended to keep your chair looking brand new.
Titan Cookies and Cream (medium) $569
Titan Cookies and Cream (small) $569 | Titan Cookies and Cream (XL) $619
Plush Pink: Soothing
$569-$619 from Secretlab S, M, XL sizes
Color saturation refers to the amount of white mixed with a hue. Higher-saturation colors like red have less white light. In its purest form, red is an ultra-warm color with a fiery intensity. Adding white lowers the saturation to create a more soothing, comforting pink.
Secretlab’s Plush Pink upholstery amplifies this concept. It blends pure white threads with a smaller quantity of soft pink ones. Up-close, subtle detailing includes suede side wings and color accent stitching.
As you step away from the chair, the white threads in the fabric soften the pink ones even further. From a distance, the soothing pink hue gets even milder.
As part of a high-end computing workstation, its soft hue conveys comfortable happiness.

Rated #3: a warm, soothing, subtle design. Plush Pink adds positive warmth to a workspace while maintaining formality.

Mint Green: Refreshing
$569-$619 from Secretlab S, M, XL sizes
From a color theory perspective, the Mint Green edition is the easiest on the eyes. Red is the warmest color and violet is the coolest. On the color spectrum, green fits between those two extremes as a ‘balanced’ color.
To comprehend shorter or longer wavelengths, the brain must process them first. In contrast, it comprehends green inputs as soon as they strike the eyes(1). That makes it a restful color that mitigates eye strain.
The Titan Mint Green blends a weave of white threads with a mild, soothing green. Up close, it looks a bit darker than a classic Mint Green (#98FB98). In my opinion, it looks closer to Jungle Green (#29AB87).
Regardless, it’s a cool, soothing design that recalls nature. In nature, green connotes an abundance of food and water. Its presence delivers reassurance on a primal level(2).
Besides the funky Minecraft edition, this is the only green fabric chair on the market.
Rated #4: a cool, calming design that recalls nature. It ranks lower because green fabric seating is a new concept. As the concept catches on, this style’s popularity should grow.

Soda Purple: Charismatic Cool
$569-$619 from Secretlab S, M, XL sizes
The new Soda Purple Softweave chair joins Frost Blue and Mint Green on the cool side of the color spectrum. From a color psychology perspective, cool colors slow the heart rate and produce a calming effect. This produces a state of mind that’s ideal for creative work.
Notably, purple sits at the extreme edge of the cool spectrum. It mixes the passion of red with cooling blue energies. That produces a nice balance of stimulation and serenity(3).
Hot passion powers success. Achieving success brings serenity through wealth. Thus, purple is often associated with royalty and bravery (ie Purple Heart awards).
Rated #5: if you’d like a mild jolt of energy mixed with cool serenity, Soda Purple is the style for you!
Titan Soda Purple (medium) $569
Soda Purple editions are also available in small ($569) and XL sizes ($619).
Frost Blue: Creatively Inspiring
$569-$619 from Secretlab S, M, XL sizes
Blue is a cool hue thought to stimulate the intellect. That’s because of the physiological responses it evokes. Red colors raise blood pressure. Higher blood pressure helps with detail-oriented tasks like proofreading(4).
In contrast, blue hues lower blood pressure. That slows the heart rate while reducing stress. Concurrently, associations with water and the sky stimulate openness and tranquility. This leads to a sense of safety which stimulates out-of-the-box thinking. Then, creativity blossoms.
Secretlab’s Frost Blue edition serves up a very mild effect. Baby blue threads get dampened by pure white ones into a soft and soothing hue.
At a workstation, Frost Blue lives up to its name with an almost imperceptible blue hue. If you squint, this chair looks almost gray-ish!
Rated #6: a softer, cooler alternative to the Mint Green chair with a milder aesthetic. Blue stimulates creativity; an extremely mild blue softens that effect.
Titan Frost Blue (medium) $569
2022 Series Frost Blue (small) $569 | 2022 Series Frost Blue (XL) $619
Arctic White: Super-Sterile
$569-$619 from Secretlab S, M, XL sizes
White contains all the wavelengths of the visible spectrum. As a result, when colors bounce off of a white surface, all get reflected, with none getting absorbed.
The problem is that stark white is very bright thus hard on the eyes. Secretlab’s Article White SoftWeave blend solves this issue in a clever way. To tone down the brightness factor, it mixes light gray threads with the white ones.
Up-close, it looks like an off-white fabric with a very light soft gray dusting. That subdues the starkness of pure white with a tiny hint of visual noise.
The Arctic White is the fabric version of the Titan Ash leatherette chair. Head-to-head, the fabric version adds subtle visual noise while the Ash chair is smooth.
That aside, both are ultra-reflective. If you have an RGB-heavy setup, a pure white gaming chair makes a nice centerpiece. See our Hands-On Ash Leatherette Chair Review for details.
Rated #7: like white jeans, white chairs aren’t for everyone. The Arctic White and Ash leatherette chairs both convey crisp sophistication. Between the two, Arctic White is softer, more breathable, and more visually stimulating.

Special Edition Softweave Chairs
The Demon Slayer collection has four chairs; the Naruto collection has two. Adding Minecraft and D.Va chairs makes eight special edition Softweave chairs in total.
- Minecraft: my personal favorite.
- Demon Slayer: four new designs based on the famous anime series.
- Naruto Shippuden chairs: Naruto and Akatsuki editions based on the popular anime.
- Overwatch D.Va: a pink bunny homage to the popular Overwatch character.
Minecraft Special Edition
This chair blends two types of upholstery. The backrest and side wingtips is a tangy lime fabric (blending three shades of green thread). On the seat and side wings, there’s a black fabric weave with flecks of green.
Like the Minecraft game, it’s a vast expanse with limitless possibilities. From different angles, you’ll always see something new.
But despite the intense detailing, the effects are surprisingly mild at a workstation. The lime green gives the chair a refreshing feel. From the rear, the black speckled base tones down the intensity seen from the front.

Demon Slayer Softweave Chairs
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba is a Japanese anime. Season 3 premiered earlier this year on Crunchyroll. The concluding episode 11 dropped on June 18. At around the same time, Secretlab released four Demon Slayer Softweave chairs.
At present, all are available in medium size only (no small or XL versions). The pink Nezuko edition is available worldwide. The others are currently only available in North America and Australia.
Demon Slayer Nezuko Edition
Nezuko wears a light pink kimono with a hemp leaf pattern. She keeps it secured with a red and white-checkered hanhaba obi. She keeps her demon slayer form at bay by wearing a bamboo muzzle.
Secretlab’s Nezuko Softweave chair shows her checkered hanhaba obi against bamboo on the rear side. The front shows her bamboo muzzle and her kimono’s hemp leaf patterns.

Demon Slayer Zenitsu Edition
The Zenitsu Edition has a yellow gradient that fades from top light to bottom dark. Dark wings and his kimono’s uroko pattern flank the sides of the backrest. Keeping you company on the chair’s shoulder is Chuntaro, Zenitsu’s sparrow.
Contrasting the whimsical front is a more aggressive back end. There, Zenitsu’s lightning-streaked katana and white sheath reflect his Demon Slaying prowess.
Zenitsu Titan Evo 2022 (M) $644
The Zenitsu edition is available in America, Canada, and Australia (medium sized only).
Demon Slayer Tanjiro Edition
This chair shows off a lush gradient that transitions from dark at the top to lighter at the bottom. The front shows off Tanjiro’s distinctive black and green ichimatsu haori pattern.
On the back side is an obsidian black blade. This is a nod to the very first Nichirin sword Tanjiro wielded after passing the Final Selection.
Tanjiro Titan Evo 2022 (M) $644
The Tanjiro edition is available in America, Canada, and Australia (medium sized only).
Demon Slayer Inosuke Edition
Secretlab made a special fabric blend specially for this chair. It’s a complex blue blend with a speckled mix of gray and brown. This pays homage to Inosuke’s gray-blue hakama pants and brown deer fur belt.
Embroidered on the front is Inosuke’s iconic boar’s head. On the rear side is a light-to-dark fade and his indigo-grey serrated katanas.
Inosuke Titan Evo 2022 (M) $644
The Inosuke edition is available in America, Canada, and Australia (medium sized only).
Naruto Shippuden Chairs
Secretlab’s Naruto collection pays homage to one of the most popular anime series of all time. Each comes upholstered in a speckled black base color. The Naruto edition has orange accents; the Akatsuki version’s accents are maroon.
On the backside, each features unique artwork, plus a metal plated logo tag. These are inspired by the forehead protectors worn by Naruto and some members of the Akatsuki.
If you find the standard Softweave styles too bland, the extra splashes of color here should inspire even non-Naruto fans.
Naruto Shippuden Chair (medium) $644
Shippuden editions are also available in small ($644) and XL ($694) sizes.
Overwatch D.Va Special Edition
The D.Va gaming chair pays tribute to Hanna Song, an Overwatch mecha pilot defending her homeland. Its design dials up the energy levels with hot pink D.Va logos and her fierce bunny icon.
White leatherette strips on the sides of the chair add several of D.Va’s in-game decals.
Even if you’re not into Overwatch, this model has appeal. Within the SoftWeave collection, it’s one of the most playful and energetic designs.
The small (4’11” to 5’6″) Pink Titan D.Va chair is also available for $644.
SoftWeave Gaming Chair Advice
To get the best value (and happiness) from your SoftWeave chair investment, follow these steps:
Choose a S, M, or XL size
The Titan Evo 2022 Series comes in three sizes. All have flat, wide seats suitable for both slim and thick figures. The point of each is to support your spine’s natural curves while you sit.
To achieve that, it’s important to choose the right chair size. Secretlab makes it easy: simply choose the size rating that matches your height:
| Specification | 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) |
| Backrest | 20″ (W) x 32.3″ (H) | 21″ (W) x 33.5″ (H) | 22″ (W) x 35″ (H) |
| Seat height | 17.7″ to 20.5″ | 17.7″ to 20.5″ | 18.1″ to 21.9″ |
| Size rating | 4’11” to 5’6″; 285 pounds | 5’7″ to 6’2″; 285 pounds | 5’11” to 6’9″; 395 pounds |
For most people, following Secretlab’s recommended size ratings will yield the best results. Check out medium and XL-sized models demonstrating Titan chair fits:
Softweave vs Leatherette
I’ve tested a SoftWeave Cookies and Cream and leatherette Ash chair. I’m working in tropical conditions with average humidity.
In my experience, both offer a good level of breathability for hot conditions. Quick take:
- 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. But in a Softweave chair, crumbs can burrow deep into the fabric. Red wine or coffee will seep in, stain, and stink! Regular Softweave cleanings are highly recommended.
These points suggest leatherette as the more practical choice. Even so, I always feel happier when using SoftWeave chairs. Leatherette feels crisp and formal. Since I work from home, I prefer the more casual look and feel that Softweave provides.
Subjective Style Picks
If undecided on a Softweave style, you can follow the conservative approach like I did. I started out using a Secretlab Omega Triple Black Softweave chair. That’s the safest pick in the collection, suitable for all tastes and room styles.
Two years ago, I upgraded to a Titan Evo 2022. I decided on the second-safest pick, the Cookies and Cream chair. Both integrate well into corporate and casual-styled setups.
When my current chair needs replacing, I’ll get a third. Next, I’ll go for something more daring. Out of all fifteen designs, one stands out to me: the Minecraft edition.
Rather than blending in, this chair stands out. I find the tangy neon-green base color super refreshing. I also love the speckled look of the seat.
Conclusion: A Long-Term Love Affair
I’ve been working full-time using a medium Cookies and Cream chair for around two years. So far, I’ve found the ergonomic back and neck support to be almost flawless. Against the elite ergonomic office chairs, I’ve found no reason to ‘upgrade’.
The only downside to the experience so far is no fault of Secretlab. For long-term enjoyment, it’s necessary to do a deep fabric cleaning every six months or so.
That’s a small price to pay. In two years, I’ve done four cleanings. After each, my chair looks brand new. In sum, that has yielded 24+ months (so far) of plush, breathable, attractive and hygienic support.
