comfort vs ergonomics is such a hard balance to find. often times super "comfy" chairs will encourage slouching or bad posture while ergonomic chairs might not meet the same level of comfortability but they keep you in a position that wont destroy your back
He keeps saying 400 pound chair, and im like "jeez how did you carry that inside" :|
Mayonaise!
Americans...
@@PlayWatchViewKayden Thanks for explaining the punchline to everyone. I don't think it was obvious enough. /s
@@PlayWatchViewKayden Rumor has it the joke is still in the air after it flew over your head.
the chair in the packaging weighs like 90 pounds but funny joke.
You sir, are the Jeremy Clarkson of tech reviews.
I was just about to make this post. I wish he'd say, "The most comfortable gaming chair... In the world!"
Being called Jeremy Clarkson is a HUGE compliment. At least in my book. His genius... its almost frightening!
You are right, it is exactly the same style actually :)
I recieved my Secretlabs Omega Chair two days ago. After sitting on cheap chairs all my life and burning through average office chairs who go for about 80-150 euros, the Omega really holds up in terms of quality. I too imaged it would be softer, but in the end its the firmness and stability that gets you through the day sitting. In my day to day job i also sit most of the time, so my work chair isnt super comfy, but not unpleasent either - but my ass won't hurt when i sit on there for at least 8 hours 5 days a week. And thats the same feeling and support i get from the Omega. It's build like a tank and to last, which was also a consideration on my part - because i dont like to buy shit every goddamn two years. And Stu, i stumbled on your channel by accident and i have to agree with your regulars: Please narrate a documentary, you have a nice voice.
This is the most honest review I've seen yet. Thanks!
Cheers!
This is the big misconception that a lot of people have about comfort. Sometimes we think that comfortable is good, but that can sometimes be bad for our posture. The reason that proper support is often uncomfortable, is because often we've never sat that way before.
lol firm is not good should be support and comfort if you have pressure points will cause blood circulation problems and pain
I loved this review. I spent most of the time laughing because I love the honesty and frank reactions! I am searching for something to support my back and I was so interested in this one. Happy to see the initial reaction versus the end. Thank you much!
I love your reviews! And the way you edit your videos.. thanks so much stu! Keep being awesome :)
I've owned one for about four months now. Totally agree that initially the seat bottom feels very hard. I was expecting something like a German sports car, but it's far firmer than that.
It does take a bit of getting used to, but once you have it's extremely comfortable including for long periods of time.
It's very well packaged - unlikely to be damaged in shipping. It appears well built. So there's content to be seen that matches the price.
I would definitely purchase one again.
I have the (very similar) Noblecharis Hero now - and it's pretty, darn pretty!, hard as well. Rest is excellent though! Still thinking about returning it because of that...I'm not sure if I will EVER get used to it. What do you think?! Thanks!
I have the Omega version it is just small and it is firm out of the box once you have it it's really comfortable
@@z3rxsy158 I've just bought the omega, and have the exact opposite opinion. It's like sitting on a concrete slab lol
I've had mine like a year and it feels perfect now
Rob Murray how long did it take to get used to? It’s ok for a little bit of time but it still feels uncomfortable.
I am sitting in the exact same IKEA chair that you had, and my back is also hurting lol
I just came here to post the exact same comment lol
Lol me too
lol i got it also, hurts my arse
@hadditor What chair is that?
Oof same
4:09 I'm betting someone's OCD intensified at that twisted rubber band XD
KinanEldari YES!!!!!!
Um, yeah. Funny you mentioned that.
Such a great review. Great speaking voice. Editing is very well done. Would love to see this type of review on others like the Noble Chair Hero. Good Job! Worth the Sub.
This is the first review that has made me laugh. Your review was thought out and I appreciate the initial review accompanied by a follow-up a few weeks later.
I’ve got a catch-up coming too 😉🥃
I've got one of these as well. I've had it for a few months and it has improved my posture a bit.
However, if I sit in it for longer than an hour, my tailbone hurts immensely when I go to stand up. I know the chair is harder/firmer than most chairs but this seems a little more extreme than that. There seems to be some sort of metal support underneath the cushion at that spot where you would sit your tailbone too so I don't know if that plays into it as well.
Did you experience something similar?
The genius of this chair is that it goes against what you think comfort is. I've been plagued by back problems my entire life, compounded by a spinal injury several years ago. Any length of time spent at my desk would result in both back pain and what I call "chair fatigue".
After a month of using it I had NO back pain. None. Not a bit and chair fatigue was non existant. I can sit in that thing for 12 hours plus and I just don't get tired. And this is no fan boying. I've owned so many chairs that I've lost count and they all failed me in some way. But this chair just keeps on giving.
I love it and my wife loves it. Not only is a delight for her to sit in after a long shift caring for sick and elderly patients but it's genuinely made her a happier person. And I have to admit it made me a happier, more relaxed and less irratible person as well.
This chair may not give you what you 'think' you want, but it certainly gives you what you need. Gone are the days paying for back treatments, painkillers and any sort of cushion to make a cheaper chair feel comfortable enough to use for prolonged periods.
Also they are built like tanks. After several months of use the chair looks and feels as good as the day I got it.
I set up a computer in another room and bought myself a cheaper chair that looked similar. And that was all that was similar. Within days my back was complaining, the arm rests just weren't right and I was napping during the day just to take a rest from sitting. So today I put together a new one and I don't regret a penny I've spent on either of the Titans we now own. Yes it is expensive, but how much am I going to save on back pain treatments? How much sanity will I save now I'm relaxed and my relationship has improved. I know it's crazy to say and probably more crazy to read, but it's the truth.
Now as to cost. I think of it this way. How long do we spend in bed each day? Now think how much you would spend on your bed. Now take into account that sitting is one of the worst things to do to your back and, for me, the calculation is simple. My back deserves this chair. And if you are invested in your own back lasting the duration of your life then maybe, just maybe you deserve it too.
Did you get the leather or cloth option?
I like the outlook that it gives you what you need,not what you "think" you need. I ordered mine like 3 weeks ago and cant wait for it to arrive. I currently have a GT racing chair I got off amazon for like 150$ and it's okay but I'm looking for the long term investment. Thanks for your input I really appreciate it
You would be really good at narrating a documentary
Thanks!
Wait, isn't that what he does a lot of the time for a living?!
You really really remind me of Jeremy Clarkson the way that you were narrating the chair (prior to building it)😂
@@Ryan123Jake i thought the same lol great review and entertaining and honest to the point!
Hi! Plese, which chair would you recomand me, as I really want a nice lumbar support chair, not with a pillow ? The thing is I am 1m74 and 70Kg
This is exactly what I needed to hear. I am 6'4" and I'm a programmer (in my chair 12 hrs+ everyday). So to me this helps make the decision to get one. I've been feeling my back hate me for quite some time now.
They actually just came out with the Titan XL model thatll work better with your height. I'm 6'3 and I got have the regular titan. The XL is 25% bigger so it has a wider base and taller back. I suggest looking into the Titan XL if you're looking into getting one but it's all preference

Enjoyed this review, luckily I don't suffer with my back so my 30 year old kitchen stool does me. Looking forward to collaborating with you soon Stuart. Cheers
ur reviews are so high quality i love it
Stu, would you say the padding has broken in at all in the time you've had yours? I got mine about 2 week ago but i've put many hours into it so far and it's as hard as it was the first time I sat in it. I appreciate the rigidity and firmness for posture and that was part of what sold me on the chair but it's like sitting on a park bench. My ass hurts if i sit in it for more than an hour or so.
I really loved this unbiased and honest review. However, now I am torn on what chair to get.
Which one did you end up getting?
Thank you UA-cam for recommending this video! Thanks for this honest review.
is the a bar in the back pair? when you lean back for a few hours did it hurt you mid back ?
Thanks for the review!! I am looking forward to buy a SL Titan chair as well
Just bought a Titan in black. I’ve been using it working from home during these times. I’ll be using it for flight swimming. I love it. All of the previous crappy chais up until now, probably add up to this.
New sub.
Had mine for about a year (black cloth version). Super comfortable for all day sitting, as I mostly work from home, and still looks brand new.
Does it also move quite a bit though? Im just scared mine will just suddenly give way. Im only 90kg lol. This should be able to support my weight. I bought the Titan XL.
Great review. Just got one, wondered if you have had any play (front and back movement) when in the locked position. I have some slight movement in mine when sitting in it. Seems odd and wondered if you have observed this or not. Thanks.
Stu: “what are my initial thoughts?”
Also Stu: “Mmmm”
Interesting review... Ignoring the initial impression about the firmness of the chair (in my experience most proper office chairs are firm, with minimal padding), would you say it's comfortable? When I say comfortable, after sitting down for 3 hours, are there any noticeable pain points, is your bottom numb or is there pressure on your coccyx? I'm not expecting an arm chair...
I'm considering this as a budget alternative (yes I said budget) to a proper office chair for working from home. However I'd rather pay £380-£400 than the £8-900 that the equivalent would cost in an office chair.
So I'm a gamer and in need of a new chair. Would you recommend this chair to someone who spends a lot of hours gaming in front of their TV?
how tall are you? I'm curious, I was thinking of getting one of these chairs, but didn't know the size to get. I'm 6' and 180pounds (slim). would you think the Titan or Omega would be better.
Love these kind of reviews and the fact that you dont review it straight after you get it. Loved your m365 review as well.
Cheers kargo!
Stu I'm searching for a set of Bluetooth headphones (not earphones as I already bought a fantastic set you recommend)
Any recommendations?

This was one of the most honest reviews I have seen for this chair.
To no fault to them, multiple other people I have watched instantly rave about how "OUT OF THIS WORLD" it is. I understand, it's a good chair, however I truly appreciated you showing us the bottom of the chair, had a second opinion, and really focused on the fact "Hey, it's not the most comfortable chair, but it's done wonders for my back". These are the reviews that we need!
You have a new subscriber! :)
Cheers Fiona! Going to be doing a recap soon... it seems a lot have people have been asking how it’s fared over the past 8 months!
@@StusReviewsUK I am in the market for one and would love a recap!
It’s up on the channel 👍
@@StusReviewsUK Thank you so much for replying to my comment! (I am the absolute worst when it comes to checking notifications on UA-cam)
I will be checking out your review right after I finish this reply. Cheers!
I had heard it was from from friends before I ordered so I'm really hoping when mine shows up that it's not uncomfortable
3:33 I had the same reaction I sat down and said “that’s harder than I thought it would be” laid back and if the lights were out I would’ve fell asleep 😂😂😂
So, what room/computer/gaming chair do you recommend?
Thank you for this honest review. I've had a bad back for 15 years and I'm almost 30 - I've sat in an IKEA Markus chair for over a decade and the fixed armrests and lumbargh support is sat too high for my body. I wake up with back/neck/shoulder pain every day. If this chair can save my back too, it'll be worth every single penny. I've been working hard and saving for a few months now to be able to get it, and now shipments are delayed for about 6 weeks.. Patience is virtue, as they say.
Hmm pain free vs back being in pieces sounds like a good investment to me
hahahahahaha
Hello Stu, are you able to recline in the chair without having to pull on the lever every time ?
I have the same IKEA chair rn lol. Glad you did this review, I was looking to get this chair too. 😊
Thanks for the review. Recently i brought a Titan Napa for my office.. also that is my 3rd secretlab chair.. they are really good and worth the $$..
Just curious what convinced you to spend the extra $$$ on the Napa vs,. the PU leather? Would love to hear your feedback, thanks!
Great review mate, here's another sub for you 👌
watching you put together the chair is exactly my thoughts on assembling especially the chair back to the rest of it.
It was a nightmare!
@@StusReviewsUK I have put together two of them. The most recent one just a couple of days ago. I put my chair together like two years ago almost and I recently got one for my roommate because his computer chair broke and so in an effort to surprise him and make it easier on him, I put it together while he was at work. Let me tell you, I was cursing that chair out trying to get the back and the seat attached to each other.b
This was literally just me today lol, my dad went to help me and he started cursing too haha
Did the seat cushion break in a little, has it become softer / you grown used to it since day one? I'm on the verge of buying one of these Titans over a 'noblechairs Hero' as i heard the cushions are even firmer on noblechairs but now after this review am unsure if i want either.
Thanks for the review.
What’d you end up doing? I’m tryna decide between a cloud 9/weave fabric/Napa Titan... or an ErgoChair 2 by Autonomous
@@takingBackWhatsMine Hey, I got a softweave charcoal/suede Titan. Have zero regrets its fantastic. Working from home in it 8-12 hours a day for the last 4 weeks. 6 foot 1" , 155lbs my boney arse is very comfortable I had nothing to worry about regarding the seat cushion. Its still £100 overpriced but thats what you gotta pay for branding sometimes i guess and a warranty that lasts half a decade.
I also nearly got an Ergochair 2 but in retrospect it looks a bit rattley and plastic and im sure will not have the build quality of these Titans, I'm also very glad i got the softweave, it got to 32 degrees centigrade the other week in UK and I wasnt melting onto the chair like my old crap fake leather one, I also think it will be warmer in the winter too.
Thanks, found this quite a helpful review. I have ordered one of these chairs and can’t wait for it to arrive. I don’t have a bad back, but i also think investing in a good chair is a way not to get a bad back in future!
I'm in the exact same boat lol I'm currently checking my emails nonstop just waiting for a shipping notice, they said August 5th or sooner, ordered on the 3rd. No bad back but don't want to develop one either and the amount of time I spend at my pc could 100% cause one
Did u got it? Is it any good??
@@sauronspadawan1512 yes I got it and I love it! Its a bit firm but its good for my back
@@sauronspadawan1512 Yes, I got it and it's fantastic. The customer service from the makers has been great as well. Had to replace the chair back, which they did without a problem.
@@raskarl Ohh, thats unfortunate but im glad its all good now. Is it comfy for ur buttocks and hows the lumbar? People say the seat is firm...i dont really know what to think about that..
does the cookies and cream colorway have a brownish color or is it just grey and black?
I've bought one of these recently and it has certainly improved my posture while sitting.
So would you think that the pu leather one would be softer?
I would add some hot glue to all those frayed edges and also where the wire hooks attack to the fabric underneath. Might make it last a lot longer (if you wanted to keep it...)
*aggressively watching reviews on the day the chair is arriving*
How you finding it?
Niceee Review....:) very informative and funny as hell. Great job. 👍👍👊👊🤙
Does this chair also move alot and creak alot? There seems to be a hell of a lot of give for a chair like this - i feel like its gonna break at any given moment.
Just got mine today. Yes it's very firm, but comfortable. Those hooks in the underneath holding the material is actually strong. The material has metal rods through the end and the hooks go around that.
you deserve more subscribers and views
nice review
just bought the 2020 secret lab titan PU leather
I heard it's really stiff Nd hurt the spine , what do you think ?
@@downsouth1678 the chair will arrive in 3 days so I won't really know until I try it myself
But from what I've heard the stiffness is good because it makes you sit properly and it lasts for a long time so you get your money back this way
About the bottom of the chair.... It will be stiff at first but your weigh and time will make it softer
@@downsouth1678 got the chair some days ago and it's not stiff for me that's how all gaming chairs are and I have tried Noble and racing
@@christoslagonikas9191 cause I had a ex racer and it would hurt my spine after a couple hours , just didn't want to spend the money on something that's the same
@@christoslagonikas9191 How's it been so far?
If bass is hard to hit on does it cause but pain/fatiuge?
Really liked the review Stu, I've actually been trying to look for a replacement chair that'll hold up for long hours of coding. Not too keen on the fact that it's not as soft as some other chairs, but my back has been racked lately so I'll have to give this a try, even if $400 is rather steep for any chair I've owned...but it beats some of the ergonomic office chairs that easily go for $1K+. Cheers!
Did you end up registering your extended warranty? Did it actually verify your public post?
I'd be curious, as I suspect everything before the "go to our website and register" is optional and just a marketting ploy
When I first sat in this chair I loved it. My chair before that was a plastic folding chair. But sitting in it for more than 30 min my tail bone starts to really hurt, especially when I try to get up. Not sure what I need to do to fix it. I have a much lower quality chair at work but dont experience this issue unless I've been sitting in the chair for over 10 hrs
Getting my limited edition game of thrones chair coming today and seen this video so watching this until it arrives great vid btw
KEEP CALM AND BOX ON how is it?
I’m in need of assistance. I’ve already done the thing where you put in your height and weight and they recommend what you should get, but a lot of different people have been saying a lot of different things. I’m 5’9 and 170 pounds. Should I get the omega or the titan? I like having space when I sit down
Get the Omega, if you get Titan you gonna feel like him saying is too hard. That's bc is for fat and big people
Eugene Chavez gotcha. Thanks homie
"400 for a chair is stupid" any Real office chair is around 7-800 euro, so this is pretty cheap for extended hour usage
And that's on the low end amazing chairs like herman miller chairs are way way more expensive and you really get what you pay for, and with the secret labs titan you get more than what you pay for.
Buying 800 euro office chair is stupid too,5 months ago i was looking to buy a chair and i made one from a car seat,VW golf mk6 to be precise, bought some wood,some wheels and voila i wouldnt trade it with any Titan trash or any other crappy 400$ "gaming chair".It costed me around 200 eur all materials+seat included.I sometimes play for 15+ hours non stop on my days off and trust me when i say that my back is praising it.
@@EckoUntitl shut up you little creep.

@@ccenturionnmc "reply sponsored by Secretlab"
Brilliant and in depth review. There are many complaints of the seat being too firm. Any thoughts or concerns about firmness on your booty?
Additionally, do you have a recommendation for a chair you feel is better? Im in desperate need for a new chair
P.s. subscribed. Im grateful for your honesty
Thanks for the honest review, looking into these chairs now and I thought one part of this really stood out. The firmness of the seat being a surprise to you is not shocking, but your comment about expecting a cloud is exactly the reason. A lot of people equate comfort to softness, you expected the chair to feel like a cloud. The same thing goes for mattresses. People see a memory foam mattress (Not just a memory foam top, I mean a FULL memory foam mattress, no pocket coils or anything) and they think "Oh my god it'll be like sleeping on a marshmallow". Yeah, that's how it feels, now go ask those memory foam mattress owners how they feel after sleeping in it for a year. I bet dollars to doughnuts they give you a rant on how they wish they never bought it, same happened for me and someone else I knew who also bought one. It's hell after that new purchase honeymoon period wears off. Super soft chairs or beds or whatever feel wonderful to the touch, but they wreck havoc on your posture and muscles, firmness is the solution to these issues. Problem is it can take time to adjust.
Hi Stu,
I just received my Titan L today - with the PU leather option, rather than soft weave. I moved up from a 17 year old knackered (nearly) office chair I inherited from my father - which was soft, leather affair with hardly any lumbar support and certainly fewer adjustable parts.
For context, I am used to using a £700 Herman Miller Mirra 2 Triflex Chair at work, which are very comfy for long sits, but significantly more expensive than most gaming chairs.
I was looking around for a decent chair while I am forced to work from home during the lock down, having developed a sore back sitting in my old 17 year old chair (which my kids now use!) and this had great reviews, including by those who use the same office chair as me, and compared it favourably.
I can't say I'm disappointed ! It might be expensive in comparison to a typical Staples or Ikea chair, but is of a much better build quality and I'll bet it'll last a lot longer too!
I'm happy with the comfort level, - it's worth noting that if a chair is too soft it wont provide firm support. But that is an individual thing.
I love the adjust-ability of it, and found it a cinch to put together. Bit concerned about the dire warnings about fingers being trapped all over the box!
Already I can feel a huge difference to my back with the lumbar support, and it doesn't hurt that it can recline so well!
I'm 6'2", and the L version was fine - but they do have a XL also.
Finally a review that doesn't seems like a paid advertisement on TV shopping channel.
Very helpful review. Thank you, good man. I was just thinking about buying this chair and you dispelled my doubts.
I experienced the same shock when I bought this type of armchair and it turned out to be damn hard. I bought the Quersus GEOS 701 armchair for 359 pounds, has the same functions and sits just as hard.
At this price, I hoped it would sit like on cloud. From the perspective of 4 years, I think that gaming chairs are not intended for slim and tall people. If you have backache, you need to look for ergonomic chairs, something like WAU 2. Regards.
Excellent. I was looking at getting a new office chair and I thank you for your review. Thank you so much.
My DVa chair arrives tomorrow I can’t wait
Nice!
Thank you for the review, one of the best arround UA-cam. However, I still have a question: Do you think it improve so much the posture for long studdy/gaming session that it's worth your penny?
Stay tuned... gonna be doing an update video in the next few weeks! 👌
@@StusReviewsUK due to being stuck working from home I've been considering 1 of these also, be really keen to hear your update. Cheers for all your efforts and reviews!
I have my 2020 softweave titan and after probably 50 days of use the left armrest has split open. That material failure is also not covered under warranty and they basically said its on you after this one time replacement with a 10 usd shipping fee that they then waved.
That's some bad quality control
Is the fabric one more durable than the pu leather? I am concerned the pu leather might be sweaty, but the fabric could get dirty :s
I tried both the Titan and Omega at their showroom, and eventually decided to get the Omega because it felt a lot cushier / more comfortable than the Titan (which is too firm for my comfort). According to the salesperson, it is because Titan series is meant for users who are heavier, and hence made firmer to maintain good support over a long period of usage. Makes sense.
Haha I sound exactly the same when I'm building literally anything 😄
Is it a coincedince that i have the same ikea chair
This like top gear of tech, subbed
I'm sitting on that exact IKEA chair as i'm watching this. Yes, fuck. this. chair.
subscribed after 4 minutes. i like you
Stu what's your jeans' brand? They look like they fit well and I'm struggling to find anything good lately. Thanks!
Only the finest primarni for me in size xtra-smedium.
In all truth, nobody makes clothes in my height.
I'm thinking about buying one. Another reviewer put it this way which makes a whole lot of sense to me: You spend hundreds, if not thousands (USD) on your mattress that you sleep on, but you're unwilling to spend 400 on a chair that you spend most of your day sitting in? This put it in perspective for me. I sleep roughly 5-6hrs a day and I am in front of my computer >10hrs a day. Going to purchase one right after posting this comment.
i feel like im getting a review from jeremy clarkson and i love it!!
I just ordered the same chair in the black PU leather. I also suffer from soft chair problems and look forward to a supportive chair. I often spend 8-10 hours a day in a chair and I am really looking forward to getting my new chair. Thanks for the honest review.
Any update? How do you like it?
Michael, it is a great chair. It is firm, but not in an uncomfortable way. I am 6'1" tall and 200lbs without any extra padding on me and the chair is a pleasure to sit in. I occasionally watch a movie in my office, and the recline (back) and tilt (seat) are a nice feature. The fully adjustable arm rests are also high enough to rest you elbows on and type comfortably with keyboard on top of a standard height desk. I haven't adjusted the lumbar again since I got it, and I think it is quite supportive. I hope this helps.
I’m curious to know how tall you are? as I’m looking at buying this chair when I get the chance after this lockdown, you look of similar build as me.
They have a sizing chart on their website that’s pretty handy. For the titan they recommend it for people between 5’9” and 6’7” and less than 290lbs. If you’re larger than that you’d want the titan xl. The omega is great for smaller folks but it’s seat is more of a bucket seat than platform so it’s no good if you like to sit cross legged.
Found this review after getting chair two days ago. Made me feel little better when you had trouble putting the back on like I did, i of course ripped off the cardboard strip that i was supposed to leave on until after the back was on, took it off when ripping the plastic off, I did not pull the release tho, but still had trouble lining it up on my own. I really like the chair I find mine comfortable and solid, but Im happy its solid as my last chair barely made it a year and it was almost 200 $cdn . (old chair arm rests are lose tho bolts are tight and base is loose, doesnt feel like it will last much longer) whereas the titan feels like it will last a long long time. Well worth it in my opinion..
Useful review. 400 may be a lot for a 'gaming' chair, but compared to a lot of 'professional' office chairs, it's peanuts; in which case, I'd say it's done its job pretty well for you.
but its not comfortable and it cost more...….
@@patriotsfan1236 ive seen way more expensive chairs. My local staples has some for $450. I can get an omega for $360. The pricing isn't that bad.
@Diamond Bourne according to literally every single unpaid/ unendorsed review. It's not.....
@@patriotsfan1236 I'm sitting on one, haven't been paid to review it, and it is!
You realise this is an unpaid and unendorsed review right...?
I'd like to point out that when you get into a driver seat of a well made car, the seats are typically firm. Definitely not plushy like a lounge chair, or a couch. This is for the exact reason this chair is likely made firm, it provides much better support for long sitting durations. I've driven a cross Canada/US roadtrip that had me in the car for 9-10 hours a day for 1.5 weeks, and never had back pain or comfort issues, despite the seat being fairly firm.
Can anyone tell me what desk he is using? It looks very wide, exactly what I am looking for!
I made it myself from an old kitchen worktop and some Ikea legs 👍
What are some good alternatives?
Are secret labs the best chairs for gaming? also what’s better fabric or leather?
Thank you very much. You just saved me a couple of hundred bucks and the hassle to return it!
did productivity increase? or did you make more youtube shorts about the #secretlabs titan
I only got the Omega, so "only" £300 :D but I have to say, I'm really appreciating the lower back support it gives.
Do they lean back or just recline?
I bought a Global Obuform chair about 15 years ago that I paid then $765.00 CDN which is about $400 pound then. It was worth that much and more for what it did to my herniated back. I bought another model of their orthopaedic Office Chair and paid a little over $600 CDN 3 years ago and it is already falling apart so I bought a SecretLab Titan XL because the mechanism is extra strong. I will receive it mid August 2020 and I am expecting as much as the Obuform was with the added adjustable lumbar support. When you have a bad back, a good orthopaedic chair is what you need to buy even if you think it is too expensive, try it on and advise. Thanks for the excellent review.
Great and accurate review. I got mine (Dark Knight Edition) 4 days ago. Assembly was really easy. They made changes to putting the back on, so the problems you experienced I didn't have. Yes, it's shockingly FIRM almost to the point of being disappointing. BUT, I sat all day for several days with no discomfort. Soooooo, maybe it's perfect? Most people I know wouldn't spend $460 (US) for a chair, and if they did, would expect a cloud experience. On a scale of 1 to 10 for satisfaction, I'm an 8. Why? I'd like it more if when I sat down it didn't feel like I was sitting on a stone park bench. Yea, I forget about it as I sit, but still.... The 2 year warranty? Well, I don't use social media so I can't post, and I don't plan getting an account just to get the 2 years.
Idk if you get this a lot or if it’s intentional, but was you going for a top gear style review cause it definitely works
Thank you for an honest review on this chair everyone else lies about this chair and says that it's the best chair ever because they get sent it for free to review. But finally an honest review out there (and the reason I know it's honest is because I personally own this chair) and everything you mention is definitely true. The chair is stiff not super comfortable. Yes very good for the back though with the lumbar support. But after sitting in this chair for several hours I definitely have to get up and walk around for a bit also the arm rests are pretty bad and while you can adjust them they aren't padded at all. Overall it's not a bad chair but it's definitely not worth the $400 price tag.
I find it extremely comfortable. However, I'm coming from a sunken in folding lawn chair to this, and that thing demolished my back. I absolutely need that stiffer support. But its definitely not for everyone. If one is looking for a softer feeling, they should look elsewhere.
Dear lord.... is it firmer than I expected? Quite a bit... but I absolutely adore that. It didn't take more than half a second of sitting down to realize how much comfier that is for me personally. Coming from a sunken in folding lawn chair, this thing is great for my back.
With that said, that's only for me personally. If you want a softer chair you sink in to, you may want to look elsewhere or look for padded bits you can add.
this or the dxracer? ty
Tbh all i want in gaming chair is.
Plush comfy cushion and easy off adjustable handle since i play guitar while gaming.....
