Secretlab is a company shaking up the gaming chair industry. The brand has thrown out the rulebook and pushed the boundaries with a science-backed design ethos that reflects the obsessive attention to detail typically characteristic of high-end office chairs.
In fact, Secretlab is on a mission to break all conventions when it comes to gaming chairs, and every aspect of our popular TITAN Evo model has been meticulously researched, tested, and iterated for maximum performance. Masu. From the 12-degree side wings that allow for a more open seating position to the unique sculpted pebble seat base, every design element has been carefully considered for long-term comfort.
Next is the full-length backrest. At first glance, it looks like a regular racing seat, but it couldn't be more different. Racing seats have been criticized for pushing the shoulders forward with their aggressive curves, but the natural horizontal curve of the shoulders makes them effective even in gentle curves. The TITAN Evo's backrest is sculpted to follow the curve of your shoulders and features an approximately 30 degree shoulder contour. In comparison, most gaming chairs have a 55-degree tilt curve.
Additionally, Secretlab challenges traditional assumptions about ergonomic design. For the past few decades, chairs have been built around the idea of promoting a single optimal posture: back, knees, and elbows bent at approximately 90 degrees, and feet planted firmly on the floor.
Today, brands like Herman Miller and Steelcase are often touted as the holy grail of ergonomic chairs. However, not everything may go well with these chairs. AC Mandal, a Danish surgeon and seating expert, criticized the Herman Miller Aeron chair for not offering enough height adjustment options or opportunities to move around while sitting. This criticism also applies to most other office chairs today. The chair is fixed in a fixed upright position, leaving little room to freely recline, move around in the seat, or even sit cross-legged.
This so-called optimal posture works, but it's only healthy in small doses. In fact, according to world-renowned researcher and spine health advocate Dr. Stuart McGill, the ideal sitting position is constantly changing and the concept of a “best posture” is just a myth. .
Secretlab is pushing a new, bolder, more modern concept of what ergonomic design should actually look like. Most of us spend most of our days sitting, typing, streaming videos online, or playing games. The company believes that chairs should reflect that and accommodate a variety of use cases.
This means that a good chair is one that actively supports different ways of sitting and frequent changes in posture. A wide recline in the backrest and a seat base that leaves room for movement is very important to prevent back pain, unlike office seats with limited backrest recline or other gaming chairs with more restrictive bucket seats. It's a complete contrast. Repositioning allows stress to be transferred from one tissue to another, ensuring that discomfort does not exceed the threshold that causes pain and damage.
TITAN Evo is designed around this idea of stress migration and is packed with adjustable features that adapt to everyone's natural way of sitting and moving. The 4-way L-ADAPT™ lumbar support system features a custom Y-shaped lattice that flexes with your back as you move. It also has unparalleled versatility with top, bottom, medial and lateral adjustments, making it easier than ever to find the fit that's right for you. A fixed or poorly fitted lumbar support can push your spine into the wrong place and do more harm than good.
Additionally, the pebble seat base allows you to move around within the seat, reducing pressure on the soft tissues of your thighs and buttocks. The full 165-degree recline of the backrest allows you to switch from an upright, active position to a more relaxed position for casual browsing, eliminating pressure on the same spinal area all day long.
The same is true for Secretlab's patent-pending cold-cure foam. Mesh has long been the preferred ergonomic task chair because it was considered superior, but at Secretlab we believe that properly designed foam can outperform mesh. I intentionally chose foam for the chair. A recent study by ergonomics experts at the University of California, Berkeley also points to some unique benefits of foam.
In addition to showing lower average and peak pressure values for foam, study participants found that foam provided significantly more support than mesh over time. Secretlab's cold-cured foam maintains the same structure and consistency even after years of daily use due to its high density formulation of up to 65kg/m3, ensuring even weight distribution and pressure relief every time. By comparison, cheaper foams weigh less than 50kg/m3 and lose significantly more support over time.
Secretlab Cold Cure Foam is also intentionally designed to have a medium firmness, making it the perfect formulation for efficient pressure distribution. A soft chair may feel comfortable at first, but as it sinks you bottom out and the stiffness and pressure increases rapidly, causing discomfort over time. You will also have a hard time supporting your back, and fatigue will build up quickly.
The company has carved out a unique niche as a leading pioneer in the gaming industry. Upholstery materials are formulated with advanced formulations that offer a variety of benefits, including improved feel and durability. Secretlab NEO™ Hybrid Leatherette has a unique shine that looks and feels like real leather, and is 12 times more durable than regular PU leather.
PU leather usually has an intermediate foam layer that absorbs moisture. This layer easily deteriorates when exposed to sweat, leading to peeling of the top layer. NEO™ Hybrid Leatherette counters this by completely removing the middle layer and instead reinforcing the base layer with a 3D structure of bespoke ultra-fine polyester fibers, resulting in superior strength, flexibility and abrasion resistance. To do.
This leatherette has undergone rigorous abrasion, abrasion, and humidity testing that far exceeds industry standard testing. Then you know it will last for years to come.
Today, TITAN Evo is the choice of the world's top esports professionals and biggest tournaments. These players spend more than 12 hours per day sitting. This is a testament to Secretlab's ability to adapt and support even the most demanding users when the stakes are highest. Secretlab continues to push the boundaries of gaming chair ergonomics with breakthrough innovation and a constant focus on research and testing.
