Coming in at #1 on our list, Secretlab has made a big impact on the gaming chair market in a relatively short period of time. Read on to see what makes Secretlab one of our favorite brands.
About the Brand
One of the best gaming chair brands on the market today, Secretlab got its start fairly recently. Back in 2014, the two founders of the company were competitive gamers who couldn’t find a suitable chair option for their long hours of game play. They decided that they needed to invent the chair that they wanted, something that was comfortable, high-quality, and still affordable. In 2015, the first Secret lab gaming chair was launched, and the rest is history.
This brand has three distinct chair lines available, the Throne, Omega, and Titan series. In May of 2019 they released the Secretlab 2020 series for the three models, which included several upgrades over previous models
What sets them apart?
Secretlab sets itself apart by having a small line-up of chair models, but still offering a range of options for the individual to choose from. Each chair has a leather upholstery material, but upgraded materials are available on the premium models. The patent pending Secretlab Cold-Cure Foam Mix gives every Secretlab chair an ultimate comfort feeling while also providing support for your body. The 4D armrests are a nice touch as well. Overall, Secretlab seems to have found the unique blend of comfort and body support. Don’t believe me? Over 8,000 reviews on their website of the 2020 series models shows an average review of 4.9 out of 5. In addition, the Secretlab 2020 series includes several special design chairs, such as House Stark, House Targaryen, and House Lannister of Game of Throne’s, and a Batman inspired Dark Knight designed chair.
Finally, Secretlab offers a 3 year warranty on their new 2020 series chairs released in 2019, but with their current promotion you can share your chair when you buy it and get a 2 year extension for a total of a 5 year warranty. That is an industry leading offer, from an industry leading brand.
Secretlab’s best gaming chair
Secret Lab’s best chair is the current Titan Model of the 2020 series. This model comes with all of the great features of a Secret lab chair, but what sets this model apart is the addition of the integrated lumbar support, that is built into the back of the chair and allows you to simply adjust your lumbar support by adjusting the knob. We feel that the extra price for this chair justifies the lumbar support upgrade, and makes this Titan model a serious contender in every gaming and office chair conversation.
