Going beyond industry standards
We take testing very seriously. That’s why every Secretlab chair is dropped, dragged, and knocked over hundreds of thousands of times in the development process to ensure they’re as tough as they can be. Our chairs are put through rigorous tests set by internationally recognized standards bodies, and then pushed to the limit with custom scenarios that far exceed industry standards and anything they’ll face in the real world.
TECH: TITAN EVO

Designed for ergonomics, tested for performance

At Secretlab, we design gaming chairs with ergonomics and adjustability in mind, guided by the principles of quality, comfort, and the science of sitting. Using advanced computer simulations and rigorous user testing, we ensure that every iteration, component, and material is engineered for durability and start-to-finish performance.

"The best ergonomic chair is one that allows change in posture"
— Dr. Stuart McGill, Professor Emeritus of Spine Biomechanics

Stress migration to reduce pain
An ergonomic chair migrates stress from tissue to tissue to prevent it from building up at a single point. Body tissues have a viscoelastic property — they will undergo deformation if there is too much strain or pressure over a prolonged period of time. Constant changes in posture help to migrate stress and prevent it from accumulating in one area, reducing the risk of discomfort, pain or even injury. That is why you often find yourself reflexively adjusting and moving around in your seat throughout the day1.
The Secretlab TITAN Evo ergonomic gaming chair is purposefully designed to accommodate seamless changes in posture for stress migration. Whether one is seated upright in full focus mode, shifting forward during an intense gaming session, or even reclining back to lounge and relax — support and comfort are optimized for most users.
Ergonomics Advisory Board
Every design change we make is grounded in data and feedback drawn from testers and users worldwide. To further refine even the smallest details, we assembled an independent Ergonomics Advisory Board of academics and experts in the fields of biomechanics, orthopedics, and more to work with our engineers on detailed ergonomic studies and product development reviews. We then implement our findings in new prototypes to test them in the real world — only changes that make a meaningful difference make it through.

“The Secretlab TITAN Evo allows for all the essential adjustments to achieve a good sitting posture. The lumbar curvature which contours nicely at an appropriate height provides an evenly distributed contact area that adapts to and supports your lumbar spine well.”

Dr. Jordan Tsai
Ergonomics Advisory Board Member
PT DPT OCS Esports & Founder of Respawn Therapy
“For better ergonomic health, your body should be moving frequently, even when seated. Variability of posture is more important than maintaining 'perfect posture'. The Secretlab TITAN Evo offers many options for adjustment such as the curvature of the built-in lumbar support, as well as the armrests. Along with its wide seat base, this allows you to sit in different positions and move freely throughout your day. It’s an ergonomic chair that’s designed to respond to your body’s natural movements and promote an active sitting experience.”

Dr. Lindsey Migliore
Ergonomics Advisory Board Member
Esports Medicine Physician
“As a doctor, I previously directed my patients towards office-style chairs designed for long hours of sitting. However, the work that Secretlab has put into ergonomic development, and the breadth of expertise they're bringing to improve the experience, has changed my mind. As a gamer myself, I can vouch that the right support puts you lightyears ahead of the competition — exactly why the built-in lumbar support on the Secretlab TITAN Evo is a game-changer.”
Science-backed Engineering
Dynamic lumbar support
Our labs are equipped with sensor-lined pressure mats to scientifically map and assess pressure distribution. Our extensive tests revealed that people of varying heights and builds produce vastly differing peak pressure patterns.
A well-designed chair should distribute weight equally well for all body shapes and sizes. 2-way lumbar support systems help smooth out pressure variances, but we knew we could do even better.

Our patent-pending lumbar support system* is the most advanced ever on a gaming chair. Comprising a proprietary lattice of living hinges that flexes to your spine, it moves up and down and in and out, tucking neatly into the natural 20-45° curvature of your lumbar lordosis.
Long-term research has shown that “computer workers” who used highly adjustable chairs with flexible low back support, experienced reduced pain in the back, neck and shoulders². Our 4-way L-ADAPT™ Lumbar Support System supports and takes tension away from the paraspinal muscles, alleviating the amount of pressure on ligaments and reducing the risk of paraspinal muscle spasms.
*SG Pat. App. No. 10202107378T & PCT App. No. PCT/SG2021/050585
Patent-pending cold-cure foam

With advanced pressure mapping sensors, foam density tests, and user testing in our design lab, our signature patent-pending cold-cure foam mix provides the ideal density level for optimal support. It is then shaped and contoured to minimize peak pressure points.
Our proprietary patent-pending* cold-cure foam is formulated to be medium-firm — the optimal balance for that gentle, cradling feel. Engineered for even weight distribution and maximum pressure relief with lower mean pressure factor values.
*SG Pat. App. No. 10202102953R

Backed by pressure mapping tests
Studies show that firmer foam surfaces decrease the pressure upon the body³ such as the ischial tuberosity (sit bones), lowering the risk of back pain from prolonged periods of sitting³. This is due to reduced spinal loads, which prevent lower back strain.
Foam vs Mesh
Compared to popular ergonomic mesh chairs on the market, foam based chairs are in fact observed to have lower mean pressure factor values⁴, and apply less pressure upon the ischial tuberosity and back of the legs.

Ergonomic seat base & backrest
Over the years, our team of engineers worked with testers of varying heights, weights, and body types from all across the world to meticulously sculpt each of our chairs for maximum ergonomic comfort. Our signature patent-pending cold-cure foam mix provides the ideal foam density for optimal support, and is then shaped and contoured to minimize peak pressure points.
Proprietary pebble seat base

Reshaped for optimal ergonomic support to accommodate natural movement and different sitting positions. The gently sloping side wings guide you toward the middle for a larger contact area with a lower and more uniform pressure distribution⁵. The flared edges make even more room for supportive comfort, with none of the constraints of a typical gaming chair.

Waterfall edge
Through extensive testing, we identified common pressure points and molded our seat for greater comfort. The gentler seat incline takes pressure off your thighs, while the more acute angle of the seat edge reduces pressure behind your knees. The rounded edge maintains blood circulation⁶, allowing greater freedom to position your feet under the chair.
Backrest

We’ve reshaped the familiar silhouette of the Secretlab TITAN to feature more generous side wings, while dialing back on its curves. All so you can enjoy a seat that cups your shoulders gently while taking the strain off them.
Full-Metal 4D Armrests with CloudSwap™ Replacement System
Our engineering team spends hundreds of hours designing new ways to keep you comfortable. After all, making the best means doing even the little things right.

We believe in being able to choose exactly how you want to sit, so our magnetic CloudSwap™ replacement system — the world’s first on a gaming chair — lets you swap out your gaming chair armrest tops on the fly. Now you can upgrade and take advantage of more advanced and supportive materials.
Magnetic Memory Foam Head Pillow
Additional ergonomic support for your head and neck could be further engineered for an even more seamless experience. So we set out to learn how we could redesign our head pillow to enhance support for your posture.

To model a new design, we studied the positions of people’s heads and necks over long hours, monitoring micro-movements and mapping out contact points. What resulted is our new patent-pending* Magnetic Memory Foam Head Pillow, designed with our 100% high-density, visco-elastic Secretlab PlushCell™ foam that was engineered in-house. Crafted with a more aggressive upper curve, this provides enhanced support and pressure relief for the base of your head in a neutral position. To cater to our users and millions more, we embedded custom magnets that allow the pillow to be adjusted over a wider range. Magnets don’t like anything to come between them — we spent a lot of time refining our design so they snap onto your headrest without a hitch, and stay there.
*SG Pat. App. No. 10202107385U
Heavy-duty Class 4 Hydraulics
Every design change we make aims to help more people achieve the optimal sitting posture. This means setting your feet flat on the floor, with your knees bent at roughly 90°.

Promising optimal height fit for as many people as possible means fanatical consideration at all levels. So we’ve re-engineered a new, shorter hydraulic mechanism for the Secretlab TITAN Evo S and R to accommodate an even wider range of people.
Advanced materials
Your chair should look and feel as good as it did on Day 1. That’s why we’re constantly refining the composition of each layer of our leatherette and the construction of our signature fabric, so they feel better and last even longer.
Secretlab NEO™ Hybrid Leatherette

Over the past 6 years, we’ve worked with myriad types of leatherette and learnt a lot about how to bring out the best in it. Our new-generation premium leatherette is our most advanced yet. Using the latest manufacturing technologies developed right in our labs, a unique resin top laminate is bonded to the base layer. After a careful finishing process, the result is an ultra-smooth top hide that feels incredible under your skin. Secretlab NEO™ Hybrid Leatherette exhibits a super smooth grain, recreating the rich luster of NAPA leather.

Regular PU leather peels because of moisture from the environment. When the middle foam layer absorbs moisture, it becomes susceptible to a hydrolysis reaction that degrades it. To avoid this, we stripped out the middle layer and reinforced the base layer with a bespoke 3D structure of ultra-fine polyester fibers for exceptional strength, flex, and abrasion resistance.
Taber® Rotary Platform Abrasion Test
Taber® Rotary Platform Abrasion Test
We experimented with 8 different leatherette compositions to find one that could further improve the durability of our industry-leading Secretlab PRIME™ 2.0 PU leather. 12x more durable than regular PU leather, Secretlab NEO™ Hybrid Leatherette combines the finest elements of different leatherette samples.
Our leatherette is subject to the Taber Abrasion Test — the industry standard for wear resistance — where contact against the sliding rotation of two abrading wheels on a turntable reveals abrasion resistance at all angles relative to the grain. With rub-wear action over 10,000,000 square millimeters of surface area using a 300% heavier load, our leatherette has been tested to outlast even the harshest conditions.
Secretlab SoftWeave® Plus Fabric

A technical knit that’s a first for performance seating. Interlacing loops of high-strength yarn fibers allow for smaller details to be incorporated in each and every stitch. With control over every thread and pixel, we’re able to implement multiple layers of varying colors, shades and tones. This enables us to map complex designs into our fabric, including a 3D layered gradient on the side wings of each chair.
Tensile Test
Tensile Test
3.5x stronger than its predecessor. SoftWeave® Plus fabric is softer and more breathable, and engineered for even greater tensile and seam strength. Stretched for hours on end in both the warp and weft direction, SoftWeave® Plus fabric emerges completely unscathed. The high-performance technical fabric you want for years of that Day 1 feel.
Relentless testing
We engineer our chairs to have your back for years to come. Secretlab chairs are put through over 190 load, durability and material tests to ensure that they’re more than able to stand the test of time.
Load Tests

Drop Load Proof Test
136kg (300lbs) weight dropped onto the center of the seat.

Backrest Load Test
A force of 1,001N is applied to the backrest for 1 minute.

Forward Overturning Test
A vertical force of 600N is applied at points most likely to result in overturning.

Rearward Stability Test
13 heavy discs are loaded against the backrest.
Durability Tests
