We’ve already done an in-depth Secretlab Titan review. That article covers the big Secretlab Titan 2020 Series upgrades. It also pores over every detail that makes this our top-rated chair.
Thus, for this Titan XL review, we’ll focus on what’s new.
Secretlab Titan XL: what’s new
The Secretlab Titan is the flagship model from one of the best gaming chair brands in the world. The Secretlab Titan XL blows up the chair to suit big and tall sizes. Details below.
Titan XL sizing
The only difference between the Titan XL and the original is the sizing. Both chairs suit large users, but the Titan XL also suits extra-large users.
Here’s how the dimensions of the Titan XL compare to the original:
| Titan | Titan XL | |
|---|---|---|
| Seat Width | 20.5" | 22.6" |
| Seat Depth | 19.7" | 19.9" |
| Backrest Width | 21.7" | 22" |
| Backrest Height | 33" | 33.5" |
| Floor to Seat Range | 18.7" to 22.4" | 19.1" to 22.8" |
| Overall height | 51.7" to 55.4" | 52.6" to 56.3" |
Titan XL upholstery options
The Secretlab Titan XL comes in four styles. Two use Prime 2.0 PU leather. This is high-end faux leather that looks and feels like the real thing. Aside from stunning good looks, Prime 2.0 is buttery soft, easy to clean and doesn’t get sticky.
Two models use Softweave fabric. Secretlab’s signature fabric blend uses dense 350GSM short-yarn. Through a process of meticulous grinding, the yarn softens to a fluffy texture. This blend is breathable, ultra durable and very comfortable.
Which to choose depends on your preferences. Softweave is more breathable and durable, but also harder to clean. It’s stain-resistant to a degree, but a red wine or coffee spill may never come out. Whiever you choose, please don’t smoke while using these chairs!
The Titan XL will make you forget you’re sitting and immerse you in work. Idle smoking could drop a cherry that will burn through Softweave Fabric and damage PU leather.
So pick a model, sort your posture, and quit smoking while you’re at it!

Titan XL key features
The Titan XL is 25% larger than the original Titan model. To support heavier weights, the core mechanisms of the chair were upgraded with sturdier materials made into larger sizes.

- Features: internal lumbar; chrome-plated 4D metal with click-lock mechanism.
- Padding: premium cold cure foam; neck pillow with cooling gel insert.
- Back support: industry leading internal lumbar that provides more precise and consistent support.
- Industry-leading 5-year warranty

Titan XL alternatives
The Secretlab Titan XL is a large-sized gaming chair. To see the best competing products, check out the best chairs that support 400+ pounds. Ranked #1 on that list is the DXRacer Tank Series.
Until now, the Tank Series has been the hottest selling heavyweight chair. Since it requires larger parts, it’s made in smaller batches. These sell fast. Around 40% of the year, the Tank is out of stock.
Expect the same with the Secretlab Titan XL. In fact, even though just released, the Titan XL is running low on stock. Buy it while you can, or else get on the waiting list.
