Technology

Engineered comfort

Every Secretlab chair begins life in our in-house lab and testing facilities. We design, test and iterate every aspect of our chairs to ensure they’re more comfortable and sturdier than ever. Our engineers run extensive research programs to understand how people interact with our chairs, so we can optimize them for better ergonomic support.

Moving beyond industry standards

Over the years, we’ve invested millions into R&D, pioneering new patent-pending technologies that encourage healthy movement throughout the day. Using advanced computer simulations and user testing, we ensure that every component and material is engineered for start-to-finish performance.

To ensure they’re as tough as they can be, every Secretlab chair is dropped, dragged, and knocked over hundreds of thousands of times. Our chairs are put through rigorous tests set by internationally recognized standards bodies, and then pushed to the limit in conditions that far exceed anything they’ll face in the real world.

Tested and validated by ergonomic experts

Our independent Ergonomics Advisory Board is made up of academics in the fields of biomechanics, orthopedics, and more, all working with our engineers on detailed ergonomic studies and product development reviews.

Every design change we make is grounded in data and feedback drawn from extensive testing and research into the way the modern gamer, creator, and hybrid worker sits. Your body was built to move, and a good chair should allow you to switch between different postures easily.

Secretlab TITAN Evo is the culmination of hundreds of tiny design decisions that we obsessed over — each one designed to encourage natural movement and support you across multiple activities and postures.

Dynamic lumbar support

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.

Our labs are equipped with sensor-lined pressure mats to map and assess pressure distribution.

Lumbar support system

Our patent-pending 4-way L-ADAPT™ Lumbar Support System* is the most advanced ever on a gaming chair, far outperforming traditional 2-way lumbar systems. It can be adjusted for height and depth, tucking neatly into the curvature of your lower back.

A proprietary Y-shaped lattice of living hinges flexes to your spine as you move, for optimal support no matter how you sit.

*SG Pat. App. No. 10202107378T & PCT App. No. PCT/SG2021/050585


Patent-pending cold-cure foam

Our patent-pending* cold-cure foam is specially formulated in our lab to relieve stress over long hours of sitting. Foam density tests and advanced pressure mapping sensors let us optimize the density for even weight distribution and maximum pressure relief.
Cold-cure foam

Secretlab cold-cure foam is deliberately formulated to be medium-firm — the optimal balance for that gentle, cradling feel. Cast as a single piece from precise aluminum molds, it enjoys a uniform consistency throughout for more even pressure distribution.

Softer, cheaper foams do not absorb stress and instead transfer it directly to your body, leading to pain and discomfort. Similarly, chairs that utilize multiple pieces of foam lack the structural integrity and support needed for comfort over long hours.

*SG Pat. App. nr. 10202102953R

Cold-cure foam
Minimal pressure

Concentrated pressure
Why we design our foam to be medium-firm

On a softer surface, your weight pools at the heaviest point on the seat, usually the middle. This leads to uneven support and causes the muscles around the lower back and thighs to work harder to support your posture.

Studies show that firmer foam surfaces decrease pressure on key areas, such as the ischial tuberosity (sit bones), lowering the risk of back pain from prolonged periods of sitting.¹ This is due to reduced spinal loads, which prevent lower back strain.

Ergonomic seat base & backrest

Our engineers worked with testers of varying heights, weights, and body types from all across the world, shaping and contouring the seat base and backrest to minimize pressure peaks.

Proprietary pebble seat base
Proprietary pebble seat base

Shaped for optimal ergonomic support to accommodate natural movement and multiple postures. The gently sloping sides guide you toward the middle for a larger contact area and a lower and more uniform pressure distribution.² The flared edges make even more room for the full range of postures, with none of the constraints of a typical bucket seat.

Waterfall edge
Waterfall edge

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 circulation,³ reducing the risk of varicose veins and other circulatory issues.

Backrest
Backrest

The side wings on most gaming chairs adopt an aggressive curve of over 55°, forcing your shoulders forward into an unnatural position. The Secretlab TITAN Evo features a far gentler 30° slope, which follows the natural horizontal curve of your shoulders. It supports your shoulders, while still giving you room to move.


Full-Metal 4D Armrests with CloudSwap™ Replacement System

We believe in being able to choose exactly how you want to sit. The Secretlab TITAN Evo offers the most advanced customization on any gaming chair, down to the smallest details.

Full-Metal 4D Armrests with CloudSwap™ Replacement System

Our magnetic CloudSwap™ Technology — the world’s first on a gaming chair — lets you swap out your armrest tops on the fly. Choose between PlushCell™ and Technogel armrest tops, for support that feels just right for you.


Magnetic Memory Foam Head Pillow

No more straps. Our patent-pending* Magnetic Memory Foam Head Pillow allows for seamless adjustments — and even better support for your posture.

Magnetic Memory Foam Head Pillow

We studied the positions of people’s heads and necks over long hours, monitoring micro-movements and mapping out contact points. Our Magnetic Memory Foam Head Pillow is designed entirely in-house, featuring 100% high-density, visco-elastic Secretlab PlushCell™ foam. A more aggressive upper curve provides enhanced support and pressure relief for the base of your head and supports it in a neutral position. Custom embedded magnets snap the pillow onto your headrest — move it up or down to find the perfect spot.

*SG Pat. App. No. 10202107385U


Shorter Class 4 hydraulics

We design our chairs for an optimal fit for as many people as possible. This means being able to set your feet flat on the floor, with your knees bent at roughly 90°.

Heavy-duty Class 4 Hydraulics

A new, shorter hydraulic mechanism for the Secretlab TITAN Evo Size S and R accommodates an even wider range of heights, so you can plant your feet comfortably.


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

Close up of 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. Secretlab NEO™ Hybrid Leatherette exhibits a super smooth grain, recreating the rich luster of NAPA leather. Using the latest manufacturing technologies developed right in our labs, a unique resin top laminate is bonded to the base layer. A careful finishing process results in an ultra-smooth top hide that feels incredible under your skin.

3D structure of ultra-fine polyester fibers

Regular PU leather peels in humid environments. The middle foam layer absorbs moisture and gradually degrades due to hydrolysis. To avoid this, we stripped out the middle layer and reinforced the base 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
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 Leatherette. 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 the sliding rotation of two abrading wheels 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

Close up of 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 gradient knit on the side wings and seat base of each chair.

Tensile Test
