Secret lab chairs, not sure if it's ok for me to post this here

[AzrealNoctis]

Ive had my eye on grabbing a secret lab chair to replace the chair I already have, it's not broken, just I would like to not feel like I'm sitting on a brick after 30 minutes, how solid are secret lab chairs? 

[DailyProcrastinator]

I too am looking to get a Secret Lab Titan, from my research the Omegas are not great, the seat bottom's are not as comfortable. But I haven't found much negative on the Titans. Others to look at are the Noblechair Epic and the Autonomous Ergo Chair 2. 

[Ominous]

A nice padded officer chair will be cheaper and probably more comfortable than a Secret Lab chair. 

 

Before @geo3 brings it up, if you're willing to spend that much on a Secret Lab: spend a little bit more and get a refurbished Herman Miller Aeron.

 

 

 

and this is the correct forum for chair questions

Go to a store?

If you're worried about ergonomics you shouldn't be shopping for a chair online where you don't know how comfortable it is to you

[Statik]

Sure, they're nice, but spending $500 on a "gaming chair" blows my mind.

 

Go to Costco, Ikea, or any office store, and find an actual comfortable, durable, ergonomic chair that will probably be better than any gaming branded Secret Labs, or DX Racer, and will be way cheaper.

Maybe not walmart, but plenty of other office stores sell quality gear.

sitting on a titan now

 

pretty good but comfort on it is highly subjective I’ve found. I like it, but my mate tried it and he didn’t, but another tried it and they loved it.

 

i haven’t tried many other chairs to be honest but this is much better than my last chair I can confirm.

 

the thing is solid, has a 5 year warranty, leather isn’t very breathable but that’s to be expected and I’m fine with it, but if you think that will be a problem make sure to go for the fabric one. And the arms adjust so much I can’t stop playing with them.

 

another option is noblechairs, it’s the exact same chair just different styling so if you prefer that stying go that.

 

i won’t talk of dxracer etc. As I’ve been told they are all trash

noblechairs is exactly same base chair, just done up differently. i believe the epic is the same as the omega.

They are designed to be comfortable and sat in for long hours, there is actual a science to long lasting chairs that are meant to be sat in for extended periods of time. A $200 chair from Costco is not the same, speaking from experience.

I can agree, as the one I got for Christmas was a dxracer, and it is hot scorched garbage

Also, what do you mean by breathable? Sorry if the question seems a bit stupid

[Tristerin]

I bought a higher end Homall gaming chair - just rebranded cheap stuff, avoid.  I noticed that basically all the gaming chairs on Newegg are the same chair rebranded at various pricing.  I wouldn't buy a chair online if I had to do it again (and this chair is 1 year old and already falling apart, have had to retighten twice) and would pay the extra to test drive them in a brick and mortar if possible.

 

Heres my opinion though not asked for on a chair that is expensive (and I sit in one I got from a yard sale 3 years ago cause Im frugal for this kind of stuff personally) if you can afford it - treat yourself.  Since having kids I wipe my own ass with baby wipes and that isn't going to stop in the future.  Treat myself lol.

u know like when u sit on leather on a hot day and start sweating?

breathable just means air to pass with heat

so when you sit on them for a long time it does get quite hot,

 

it doesnt bother me but some people are extra sweaty and may not like this which is why they made a fabric version.

All I'm saying is you can get better/equal quality chairs for significantly cheaper

It really is the only chair worth spending money on. I've never found a chair that is near as comfortable for extended periods of time.  Also considering the longevity of them it's actually fairly cheep. Mine is from 2001 and I only just recently needed to do a repair on it, a simple replacement the gas cylinder which cost like $35.

If u are a real nerd sitting down 8h+/day u should invest in a good monitor-chair.
