Package and Assembly

SecretLab SoftWeave package

You will receive Secretlab SoftWeave packaged in a big black box with the logo of Secretlab on it. The whole box is heavy and feels so dense, which is an early sign that you are holding a serious piece of kit in your hand before even opening the package.

Also, check the other best white and black gaming chairs.

When you first open the package, you will find Secretlab welcoming you with a nice greeting message that will make you feel so special, in addition to a few friendly advice & contact details.

When you flip the message, you will find a big, glossy set of assembling instructions that has full-color photographs and easy-to-understand instructions.

At this stage, you are going to find a small little badge of authenticity that comes with a note to indicate that the whole box has been hand-inspected by one of Secret Lab’s employees.

To be honest, this is a really classy move and continues the initial air of a top-notch piece of tech.

You will find the package’s components wrapped in Cellophane baggies, while the smaller parts, such as the nuts and bolts, as well as the tools you will need to assemble the premium gaming chair come in dedicated sub-boxes.

You will love how classy some tools are packed in their own sub-box, clearly labeling what every tool is and what it is used for, which makes the assembly process itself simple and straightforward.

You will find some instructions showing handy trips, as you should use some of the foam packaging layers to place the components over in order to protect them from scratches during the assembly process.

Putting Titan SoftWeave together will be proceeded at a quick pace, especially since the holder and wheels come joined together just like the backrest & the seat.

For assembling the backrest all you need to do is to slide it into struts found on the chair’s seat, then get it secured with the attached solid and thick steel bolts.

From this very point, you can turn Secretlab titan SoftWeave gently over and fix the adjustable full-tilt mechanism to the base and connect it with the hydraulic piston that is found in the wheelbase.

Now all that’s remaining is a few coverings & adjustments for the chair’s 4d armrest as you desire.

Personally, my assembly experience was amazing as it was very clear & straightforward, in addition to the potential pitfall’s warnings. For instance; you find a big cardboard sleeve wrapped around the seat which tells you not to use the tilt adjustment lever till the backrest is securely installed.

Design & Materials

The Secretlab titan best gaming chair has the same iconic Titan design as SecretLab’s leather varieties: faux leather, leather (which is the most expensive), and fabric.

In this gaming chair review, I will be talking about the fabric upholstery, Softweave Fabric. This new SoftWeave fabric gives it a completely distinct look.

The material itself is surprisingly soft to the touch. Although it is not as smooth as leather, it is in no way coarse like fabric finishes on other cheaper gaming chairs or office chair varieties.

When you have a closer look at the SoftWeave material you will see how tight the weave is, along with subtle shade changes over the chair’s surface.

As for the stitching, it is tight & consistent, with Secretlab and Titan Evo logos and badges that have smart finishes

The neck pillow, armrests, and seat base come in black, adding a high-class look to the unit.

To sum up, when you see the titan softweave Secretlab chair after assembly you will know that you are looking at a real masterpiece with premium materials, actually, you might even confuse it with the great Secretlab omega chair, but the Large T letter will remind you that you are just looking to a Titan Secretlab Chair.

Secretlab Titan logo

Secretlab Softweave is designed to match a wide range of gaming setups, that’s why it is available in 6 fresh colors, including; charcoal blue (frost blue), mint green, plush pink (Dva gaming chair), black, cookies & cream, and arctic white.

If you have a pink gaming setup and want to make a stunning pinky addition to it, check out our plush pink Secretlab DVA gaming chair review. And if you want other pink varieties at less price you can check our 7 Best Pink Gaming Chair Models.

Performance and Features

When you first sit in Secretlab Titan SoftWeave gaming chair you will feel its support & comfort are immediately evident.

The chair’s velvety soft fabric is very gentle & smooth on your skin while the 4d armrests offer a spongy exterior layer that allows for comfortable elbows leaning even in the longest gaming sessions.

And speaking of the armrests, they are perfectly adjustable, you can move them up & down, move them forward & backward, in & out and rotate them.

It only takes a few button presses, and you will be having a perfectly comfortable sitting experience.

So, what about the tilt mechanism? The tilt is adjustable as the comfortable gaming chair comes with a lever located on the right-hand side, allowing for a near-horizontal level of backward tilt mechanism, which means that you can have peaceful naps on your favorite Secretlab gaming chair.

Moreover, you can adjust the chair’s height by a lever that is built on the right side underneath the seat.

You can simply lift the paddle up when you sit on the gaming chair and you will find the hydraulic piston falling with the height adjustment being reduced. And when you depress the paddle while standing up the chair will start to rise.

Ergonomics

You will be happy to know that Secretlab titan softweave gaming chair is a firm chair that helps in keeping your body in an upright posture, kudos to its hard steel frame that is covered in Secretlab’s dense Cold-Cure memory foam mixture.

Which is different from other memory foam types as it is made by using a single piece of foam & aluminum molds instead of many foam layers.

It is worth mentioning that this memory foam mix also employs air pockets for absorbing pressure.

Although it is not the hardest chair that I have tried, it provides some give, while encouraging your spine to get straight by the gaming chair’s more rigid feel.

In terms of ergonomics, Secretlab softweave chair is such an impressively comfortable chair, I have been using it while playing Fortnite, Cyberpunk 2077, listening to music, chilling and watching Netflix, and even for taking naps, and let me tell you that it performed exceptionally well during all these activities.

FAQ on Secretlab Softweave

Can you sit cross-legged on a Secretlab chair?

Of course, you can!
You can sit comfortably sit cross-legged on Secretlab OMEGA, TITAN, and TITAN XL, as secret lab gaming chairs are made for catering to a huge variety of heights & builds, which means you will definitely find the size that allows you to sit with comfort.
To be more specific Titan xl will allow for a more spacious sitting experience as it comes bigger than the Omega chair, allowing you to sit cross-legged with more comfort.
But we actually recommend against sitting cross-legged with your bare feet as they will leave dust and unwanted footprints.
