Here’s a review of the world’s best fabric gaming chair. The Cookies and Cream chair is Secretlab’s original fabric design. Its 2022 Series edition is a game-changing upgrade. It delivers super-soft comfort, next-level ergonomics, and stunning aesthetic flair. This hands-on review covers the thrill of the 2022 Series SoftWeave Plus experience.
I’m writing this review after three weeks of using a Titan 2022 Series Cookies and Cream chair. That’s how long it took me to digest the details and come to a conclusion. It’s been a rollercoaster of emotions that has settled into Zen-like bliss.
Titan Cookies and Cream Chair Review
By a large margin, the Titan 2022 SoftWeave is the best fabric gaming chair money can buy. This hands-on review covers its tactile, functional, and aesthetic merits.
Cookies and Cream Fabric Upholstery
Interior designers divide colors into a spectrum of warm and cool hues. Neutral hues (black, grey, off-white) are those without color. Neutrals are staples in office design for their formal, harmonious, subdued qualities.
My previous testing chair was a 2020 Series Omega Triple-Black. It blends three shades of black yarn with flecks of white. The Cookies and Cream chair is its technical opposite. White dominates, with flecks of black and grey adding the contrast.
Black is the least reflective color. It absorbs all color wavelengths, reflecting none back to the eyes. Indeed, I found that the Triple-Black design fits seamlessly into any type of design. It doesn’t stand out — it blends in.
In comparison, the Cookies and Cream chair lights up a room. White is one of the most reflective colors. It catches and reflects all wavelengths of light back to the eyes.
Compared to the Triple Black chair, I found the Cookies and Cream brightness a bit jarring at first. While the Black chair blends in, the Cookies and Cream chair stands out. It’s inspired me to keep my workstation pristine to match the crisp, clean looks of the chair.
SoftWeave Plus Fabric Upgrades
I found the 2020 Series fabric soft, smooth, and ultra-breathable. In comparison, 2022 Series SoftWeave Plus upholstery has a more plush, textured feel. Its superior softness is evident when you compare the two under a macro lens.
SoftWeave Plus uses a new weaving process that interlaces loops of high-strength yarn. That allows better airflow and 3.5 x more durability than the old blend. It also gives designers control over every pixel in the fabric.
That lets them map complex designs using different color layers. Secretlab shows this off with gradient fade side wings. From different angles, the gradient shows differing effects.
The fabric drapes over the padding with snug, wrinkle-free perfection. Whether you run your eyes or your hands over the material, it exudes premium quality.
Available from Secretlab in North America, the EU and UK, Oceania, Singapore, and Malaysia.

Ergonomic Functionality
Titan 2022 Series chairs come in small, medium, and XL sizes. Each comes with a recommended minimum and maximum height. If you stick within the ratings, two new features will ensure an ultra-precise fit.
First, the chair has an integrated lumbar support system with depth and height-adjustability. Second, its strapless magnetic headrest pillow provides a wider adjustment range than what other chairs offer.
Summary of Specifications
For a detailed specs analysis, see this Titan 2022 Series gaming chair review. Here are the highlights:
The dial on the left lets you adjust the height of support to fill your lower back curve. Once that’s in place, toggle the knob on the right to adjust the depth of support. If you need help to configure, see this Lumbar Support Biomechanics Tutorial.
This yields two sweet benefits. First, it gives the chair a clean, modern, professional look. That reflects the incredible amount of thought that went into this chair’s aesthetics.
The functional benefit is a much greater adjustment range. Without straps, you can move the pillow from the top of the backrest to the bottom of the embroidered “T”.
The seat’s side edges have also been pared down. While most gaming chairs have hard, bladed seat edges, the Titan has a gentler slope.
That helps guide the user to the center of the seat, without restricting legroom.
Small, Medium, and XL sizes
2022 Series SoftWeave chairs come in small, medium, and large sizes. All come with enough seat width to accommodate slim to husky body types.
That means most people can use Secretlab’s size ratings to choose the right model. For example, I stand 5’9″ and find the medium size a flawless fit.
[table id=116 responsive=”scroll” /]But what if you prefer a larger size than what Secretlab recommends? To test that out, I also ordered a Titan XL. Based on Secretlab’s size ratings, I’m two inches too short to use it.
However, the Titan’s improved ergonomics provide better adjustability than other chairs. But lowering the integrated lumbar and placing the pillow to its lowest point, I enjoyed a great fit!
If you’re thinking of supersizing your Titan chair, see this guide for advice. In most cases, the depth of the seat is the key spec to look out for.
Other Titan Evo 2022 Designs
At present, the Titan Evo 2022 chair comes in seven SoftWeave fabric designs and 37 leatherette ones. Here’s a quick look at the other options.
SoftWeave Plus: Neutrals and Pastels
When light hits a colored object, it sends information to the brain via the eyes. This information goes to the hypothalamus, which regulates body temperature, metabolism, appetite, and more. As a result, different colors produce unique physical effects in humans.
Including the Cookies and Cream chair, there are seven 2022 Series SoftWeave designs. Options include cool, warm, and neutral color schemes. Here’s a quick rundown of each type:
- Warm colors: reflect more light and than other hues. That results in energetic, optimistic, playful energy infused into a workspace.
- Cool colors: recall nature, stimulate creativity, and evoke feelings of serenity.
- Neutral colors: slow the heart rate and give off formal, conformist-type energies.
One of the most interesting models in the collection is the Mint Green edition. On the color spectrum, Red is the warmest color and violet is the coolest. On the color spectrum, it’s the most balanced color that places the least amount of strain on the eyes.
In nature, green implies an abundance of food and water. That emits reassurance on a primal level. If you’re looking to push the color boundaries of your workspace, this is a great choice. It’s a soothing design with positive vibes and a soothing hint of lush nature.

Other Titan Evo 2022 Collections
In total, the Titan Evo comes in 37 leatherette and seven SoftWeave styles. Our Complete Titan Evo 2022 Style Guide applies color theory principles to six multi-chair collections within the series.
As an example, five standard leatherette editions make up an executive series. All models (except for the Royal blue) use basic neutral colors to deliver powerful executive styling.
If you can’t decide on a style, the plain colors and basic styles make these chairs safe picks for all cases. If you prefer something more daring, there are plenty of options.
For instance, the DC superhero collection contains one somber design and three brilliant ones. The Batman edition is a stealthy all-black design that could pass for an executive chair from a distance.
In comparison, the Superman, Flash, and Joker chairs pop with colorful embroidery and intricate detailing. If you’re looking to inject your workspace with fun, playful energy, these are excellent picks.
