I've had my Softweave Titan for 11 months now and have to say I'm 100% satisfied with it. Still looks as good as the day I unboxed it and is extremely comfortable. I like you was skeptical as to how much positive info was out there about Secret Labs but now after owning the Titan for almost a year can say it's well deserved. I spend at least 8 hours a day in my Titan and even though it's firm or possibly because it is it's the most comfortable computer chair I've ever owned. I'm 53 and disabled and prior to my Titan I was having to buy a new chair at a minimum of every 2 years. The way my Titan and it's fabric are holding up with minimal maintenance I fully expect it to last far longer. At first it seemed far to stiff to be as comfortable as it is but I can say it has truly helped with my back pain. They are however not cheap but if you figure in having to replace a cheaper chair much more often it balances out. The level of comfort is something else to consider with my Titan I never feel as badly after sitting for long periods as I did with cheaper chairs. Sorry for the TLDR post but I felt I should share my experience as well to maybe help others. I had my Titan in the cart for a good 2 months before I finally pulled the trigger. Honestly I wish I'd bought it sooner because believe it or not the hype is real...

For anyone looking for Omega reviews, I have a 2020 softweave omega, it's just as amazing as this one. The only major difference is that it doesn't have a built-in lumbar support, just a pillow. The pillow is memory foam, it feels amazing and I've had no problem with it, (I've had my chair for a few months).

Not a night and day difference mind you but soft enough to reach a good balance between good support and comfort.

I have had my 2020 Titan for about a month and love it. Mine arrived in perfect condition was easy to assemble. The adjustable armrest are amazing and are a feature that don't get mentioned often in reviews that really make a difference in your overall comfort along with the lumbar support. My experience is the Titan is the perfect combination of support and pressure relief and no other gaming chair I have owned comes close in material & build quality. Worth every dollar in my opinion.

I'm really glad you added the disclaimer towards the end of the video. I'm a sceptic at best and averse honey-coated endorsements. Not to mention buying without trying. You did a really good job describing the chair and you articulated the size-related difference between the Omega and Titan better than I've seen elsewhere. I had actually paid for an Omega in July. I was assured an August delivery. Then September. I cancelled the order when we'd got to late October. I get the COVID delays but 3 months is ridiculous! Then there was Secretlab's 'customer support', the pro-forma replies and the fact you could not speak to someone at Secretlab on the phone. Moral of the story: don't order if it's on 'pre-order' unless you're prepared to wait. Black Friday led me back to Secretlab and I've been wooed by your excellent video. And leaning towards the Titan on the basis of your spiel. And the fact it's in stock! Thanks again.

I just pre-ordered my chair this morning. I probably wont get it till July 3rd. I was looking at the Corsair cloth chair for a few weeks but when I went to go buy it yesterday it was out of stock lol. Then I remembered this company and checked out the site. I found something I might like and waited 24 hours before committing my self to something I know very little about. I did watch a few videos and they all seemed positive about the chair and how you can sit in them for hours without any pain. That is a big concern for me since I destroyed my spine :) Thanks for the video sir. I'm looking forward to getting mine.

@@BenCad Just out of curiosity, because it's my only point of concern about this chair (and it seems to be many other people's concern as well), how hard exactly is the seat? I reckon it can't be like sitting on a solid wooden surface, it's gotta be better than that, but still, if only you could showcase/describe the rigidity of the seat in a more perceptive way, that would be greatly appreciated. I personally don't mind the chair being hard as long as it's not like sitting at a bench or a metal chair with no cushion.

@@maxemore Its the hardest thing to describe. I think my when I sat on the chair in the video I think the first thing that came to my head was a padded kitchen/dining room chair for the first few seconds. Then you feel its more padded than that. The main thing is you wont sink into the chair like you're probably used to likely with your current chair. Otherwise I would describe it as Supportive and Firm. But, you have a good 15cm of padding underneath you. All I can say is personally, 6 months+ in now and I can still go on all day on this chair comfortably and it shows no signs of the padding wearing out and sinking. I hope that helps!

Thanks for a great and detailed review. I have had my Titan XL for a week now and I love it. The seat is a bit on the hard side, but I have no doubt it will soften after some wear. The whole chair feels like it's going to last for ever. You mentioned that you chose the gaming chair rather than a regular office chair because the gaming chair felt more like a car seat. For me it was pure and simple a price tag issue. An office chair with the features and comfort, the size and weight capability (I am huge) and the quality of this Titan XL cost minimum twice as much. Remains to see if the Titan lasts as long as a premium office chair.....

Eveyone is complaining about the firmness of the chair but I've seen in another review of this chair that the firmness helps with your body posture. If you have a soft chair then your spinal cord gets bent and that will lead to back pains. So the decision of it being firm was a great one from Secretlab.

Titan Softweave owner here! I can confirm everything this video says is true. Just from the packaging, you can tell the amount of effort and detail Secret Lab put into their product. The only thing I will advise you is that since it’s fabric, don’t sit on it naked or in boxers (like I do sometimes) and shirtless because it will absorb your sweat. So wear clothes. Also, one thing this video said was that it was soft. I would say it’s on the firmer side and I like soft but I’ll tell you that it’s good that it’s firm because not only will it last longer but it gives you a more ergonomic experience. It’s not good to sink into a chair. Over time you will realize that sitting with proper posture and support over long periods of time becomes more enjoyable and comfortable. If you have any other questions, let me know!

On my chair the box was dropped and handled very badly by fedex (the box is really heavy, i have the titan and its about 78 ibs so when it dropped it seems it dropped hard), the left armrest came broken and i reached out to Secretlabs and WITHIN A WEEK had a brand new armrest shipped out to me free of charge EXTREMELY satisfied with their customer service speed and willingness to assist.

I just got my chair today, titan xl. I noticed that you said that you never heard back from them, which I feel was strange. I sent an email to them in regards to the deliverydate (I had the same issue as you with the PU leather falling off my old chair (basic office chair)), and they responded 2 days later with the info I needed. I guess it was a big rush back when you ordered your chair :) One day in, still happy haha (and yeah, it's hard, and my back is adjusting to not slouching all the time ^^)

I haven’t finished watching The full review yet. But I got the titan xl chair on the 16th of this month. Only four days. I notice when the chair is locked in any tilted position you can still move back and fourth about two inches when it should be locked. I contacted secretlab and they said it’s normal. Just keep in mind it may be annoying for some people like myself as I would have liked the chair to lock in place completely. Also the chair slightly can wiggle side to side and it’s rather annoying when repositioning yourself on the chair. I also have a problem that started two days in where I unlock the tilt mechanism and rock back and forth, something feels like it’s popping out of place. I contacted secretlab and I’m happy that after a couple of back and fourth emails they’re sending me a replacement bottom portion consisting of 1x Multi-Tilt 1x Hydraulics 1x Wheelbase so I’m really happy with the customer service.

@Ben That was one of the best reviews of the chair I've seen over the internet so far. It was really well structured and covered all the aspects! Loved it! My chair (SoftWeave) was just delivered yesterday and I just fell in love with it from the moment I started unboxing it!! ^^ On the note of the arm-rest bumping into your table, I did notice that the height of your arm-rest is too high from an ergonomics point (notice how your shoulders are shrug in the video when you rest your arms). Considering the amount of time you spend on the chair, I would recommend reducing the arm-rest height, enough to bring it in line with the height of the table. Hope this helps! Cheers!

Nice video. All of the info is useful and well presented. The only rather significant omission was an overview of the features of the chair. I would have liked to have seen a demonstration of every motion and adjustment capability of the chair. Does the back recline? The whole thing tilt? Is that lockable? What movements and ranges are available for adjusting the armrests? Etc. That kind of stuff would have made this video significantly better. Overall though, good job and thanks.

I have a gaming chair I bought for $150 from some random brand it has everything this chair has I used it everyday at least for like 8 hours a day for 2 years, no flaking or shaking yet nothing broke but only horrible thing it caused me was saving for $300 dollars. This chair is iPhone of chairs :) You can go and buy ergochair 2 for way less than $459 and that chair has so much adjustability and ergonomics compared to this racing car seat snapped on to office chair legs. You actually get some value out of your money. But hey if you don't care about how you spend your money and you wanna spend over 450 dollars for the looks go ahead and buy it. Personally I would like to spend that amount of money for comfort and ergonomics.

Excellent video mate. Just a good honest review without the BS. I just pulled the trigger on the soft thread Omega. All the good reivews I read certainly raised an eyebrow so I checked out product reviews as well and seemed to get a much morer balanced idea on what the chair was like. Most peoples gripe seemed to be based around hardness. I have a $150 Office Works chair which after 10 years is like sitting on a park bench so I'm sure I'll be happy with the Omega. Looking forward to your update vid. (Cheers from Brisbane)
