The 3 Best Secretlab Gaming Chairs (2024) | The Guide

First of all, I must inform you of something I believe to be of the utmost importance: the Secretlab Titan Evo Série 2022 is not just an evolution of the Titan range.

It’s a combination of the know-how and qualities that were included in the Titan 2020 and Omega 2020.

It therefore surpasses them in every way, and for the small price difference between these models, I can only recommend that you go for this one.

But what’s so great about the Titan 2022?

(I’m not going to talk about the design, just know that it’s available in 135+ variants, including Overwatch editions, for example).

First of all, something very important in my opinion and often overlooked by competing brands:

• A size S version for gamers under 1m69 and who also weigh less than 90kg.
• A Regular size version for gamers between 1m70 and 1m89 and weighing less than 100kg.
• And finally, an XL-size version for gamers between 1m81 and 2m05, weighing between 80 and 180kg.

It’s a real advantage to have different chairs for different heights and weights, since all dimensions have been redesigned to suit YOUR body type.

Gone are the days when your seat is too deep, and your knees bump against the seat or are 2km from the seat if you’re too tall.

No more headrests that reach your upper back or backrests that are too big if you’re shorter.

As you can see, it’s a real ergonomic advantage, and I’m not even talking about feet that will finally touch the ground for the smallest among you.

The foam used in the Titan Evo is a patent-pending high-density cold foam.

In concrete terms, what you get is a medium-firm foam that will NOT sag over time.

So the foam won’t end up flattened even if you use it for hours every day for years.

And to improve ergonomics, this foam has been made so that your weight is distributed evenly throughout the chair…

So you don’t have to put all your weight on one particular part of your body, and therefore on the chair.

The tilting mechanism is also of the highest quality, so I’ll skip all the technical considerations and get straight to the benefits:

• The chair is not tilted in the middle, so your feet will always be touching the floor as you tilt.
• And because it’s not centered, there’s less pressure on your hips and lower body.
• And as a bonus, it even improves blood circulation in your legs and avoids the “heavy legs” effect.

And now I realize I didn’t mention it… Do you know why a good rocking mechanism is important (apart from what I’ve just mentioned)?

Because your body needs to move, to use various muscles, so without a rocking mechanism you’ll be stiff as a post all day long.

Your lumbar vertebrae (lower back) are going to take a beating all day long without a rocking mechanism, because you’re not giving them a chance to engage other muscles.

So don’t be one of those people who blocks this mechanism (because yes, it’s possible to do so, as Secretlab lets you choose your own settings by pushing a lever under the chair).

Continuing on the subject of ergonomics, it also features 4D armrests.

This allows you to :

• Adjust their height to fit your arms at a 90° angle, relieving pressure on your shoulders.
• Adjust their width to suit your shoulder width, so that your arms can rest on the armrests without having to spread them.
• Adjust their angle to suit the way you play/type (nobody plays with straight arms).
• Adjust them forwards and backwards, so you can move forwards or backwards as you prefer, but it’ll also get you a little closer to your desk!

As you can see, it’s all about ergonomics and comfort.

The backrest can be tilted up to 165°, giving you plenty of room to rest, take a nap or simply find your preferred sitting angle.

When it comes to durability, Secretlab doesn’t leave us out in the cold. The frame is made of metal and the foot cross of aluminum.

Aluminum is the best material for a chair leg, because it withstands almost a ton of pressure.

And when it comes to upholstery, it’s an even bigger success.

The fabric version is 2 times more breathable than the Titan 2020, and the faux-leather version is 12 times more resistant than normal PU leather.

This corrects the problem of PU leather, which sometimes tends to flake off on low-end chairs, AND for those who opt for fabric, means a chair that won’t stick to your back in summer.

And last but not least, ergonomics:

• The integrated lumbar support is adjustable in height AND volume, which is a first for a gaming chair.

So no more separate cushions that have to be modulated, always put back in the right position and sometimes too big if you’re thin.

• Magnetized headrest

So you no longer have to struggle with a headrest that attaches around the chair and sometimes makes it difficult to place it in the right place…

And why are lumbar support and headrest important?

The lumbar support allows you to reproduce the natural curvature of your spine, which, as you know, forms a kind of S-shape.

Without it, you’re headed for disaster and back pain.

The headrest, on the other hand, is more optional, allowing you to place your neck in a neutral position and avoid back pain.

So there you have it: for me, this is the best ergonomic gaming chair on the market today.
