Standard office and gaming chairs are not built for big and tall people. They cower before our broad frames, shudder beneath our weight and generally fear us. The SecretLab Titan, built for the larger-than-guy-sized gamer, has no fear.
Finding a comfortable place to sit for long periods is not an easy task for the big and tall. I stand at 6'6" and have a very broad frame. I generally hover around 300 pounds, depending on how much of a damn I am giving about my weight. I have killed many a flimsy folding chair in my time, and my office seating tends to fall apart after a year or two of extended use.
To make matters worse, I have a very long torso and relatively short legs. At six and a half feet tall I have a 32-34 inch inseam, which is about the same as that of my foot-shorter wife. When everyone else in the airplane is resting their heads, my headrest tries to function as a just-below-the-shoulder-blades-rest. I do my best to score window seats so I have something to lean against that isn’t my fellow passengers.
Every couple of years the quest for a new chair begins, and I generally end up settling for something extra large from Office Depot. Then I sit incorrectly for the next two years, slouched forward so the headrest has a tiny hope of fulfilling its function. My current two-year-old chair is a wobbly mess of broken hydraulics and cable-eating wheels.
I’d read about Singapore-based gaming chair maker SecretLab from our colleagues over at Kotaku Australia, who had written about and quite liked one of the company’s smaller models. When the company announced it was starting to sell in North America, I started eyeing the more substantial Titan. Now I’ve put my ass all over it, and it’s almost everything I had hoped for.

- Integrated Adjustable Lumbar Support - The TITAN features our integrated adjustable lumbar support, built into the backrest of the chair itself. Adjusting the lumbar support to suit your own preference is as easy as turning the knob on the side of the backrest, giving you all the support for your back, without the need for a separate cushion
- XL P.U. Casters - Our XL casters are larger than our standard casters, enabling even smoother gliding, increased sturdiness and durability. The PU rubber coating is friendly towards most kinds of surfaces.
- Top Build Quality & Ergonomic Design - Our chairs are inspired by car racing seats — seats designed to conform to the human body shape in order to provide advanced lateral support and weight distribution. We apply the same concept to accommodate long hours of usage in front of the computer. Each chair spawns from quality core materials, unparalleled craftsmanship, and state of the art manufacturing processes.
- High Quality Core Materials - PU leather is the most sensible upholstery to be used today, and we at Secretlab have handpicked the best variation of it. Our signature PRIME PU leather is very durable, soft, flexible, and water-resistant. We combine that with precisely cut cold-cure foam that provides immaculate cushioning & support to deliver a heavenly sitting experience.
- Maxed-Out Ergonomics - The TITAN contains an even thicker layer of cold-cure foam to provide extreme cushioning & support, handling loads of up to 130kg with ease. The overall shape of the chair wraps more fittingly for most people, providing better ergonomic support.
