Before I get into the full details let me tell you that, both Secretlab chairs are designed to serve you very well, but the point is each one of them is designed for a specific purpose.

One of them is supple, plush, and absolutely easy to clean while the other is super airy and soft.

In the following lines I will be comparing Secretlab Titan Softweave & Pu Leather in terms of durability, breathability, feel, price and maintenance.

Durability

Both materials are stylish and elegant and have been put through over 10 rigorous tests for stress-testing their durability, performance, & mechanical properties, including abrasion and flex resistance.

As for Secretlab SoftWeave® Fabric, the high-performance textiles that streetwear & tech giants use are its inspiration, that is why it features high tensile strength in addition to the densely-woven dense short yarn that it is crafted from, which makes it more durable than PU leather.

On the other side, PRIME™ 2.0 PU leather is more spill-resistant and tougher against other small accidents. It has been certified to be 4x more durable than regular PU leather.

As for stains, it is also harder to get liquid stains and you will be able to effortlessly wipe it down and have it looking pristine in a blink of an eye.

You should clean up any sweat or spills from the surface of the chair as soon as possible, as when it exposes to body oils or liquids along with friction, it will lead to the weakening of the top coating of the PU leather over time.

It is also worth mentioning that, if you have a pet Secretlab SoftWeave chair is the best option to make as it is more suitable for heavy usage and pet-friendly than a PU leather Secretlab gaming chair.

Breathability

Even though it is crafted from tightly & densely woven threads for long-lasting durability, Secretlab SoftWeave® Fabric is engineered with breathability in mind, that is why it is mainly targeting those who are residents of hotter climates.

It allows air to flow well, which helps evaporate heat easier, keeping your body cool even in the longest gaming marathons.

On the other hand, the Secretlab PU leather chair allows for a decent airflow but in the long gaming sessions, you find yourself soaked in sweat.

So, if you are living in a hotter region, the Secretlab SoftWeave chair is the finest chair to get.

Secretlab has to hold on to its signature plushness from its PRIME™ 1.0 predecessor, while also creating impressive upgrades in terms of durability, which guarantees that you have a gaming chair or an office chair that stays for many years to come.

Price

In terms of the price tag, the PU genuine leather is so affordable, not only for Secretlab gaming chairs but for any other gaming chairs brand, when compared to full-grain leather or other materials, and this is because PU isn’t made from the most desirable part of the animals.
