Big and Tall Gaming Chairs – Ultimate Buyer’s Guide

The Titan Evo 2022 improves on the older 2020 Titan in a few ways.

Arguably, the most important update is the seat base design. It mixes the narrower, wrapping design of the Secretlab Omega with the flatter, wider base of the Titan.

The result is increased surface for any big and tall gamer to feel like home in this chair. As we pointed out earlier, make sure you get the XL size. The Titan Evo 2022 is slightly smaller than the 2020 Titan in terms of sizing, so if you're a fatter or larger person, you'd want the XL for sure.

The integrated lumbar support is one of the biggest perks here. Many people find those lumbar pillows a pain to have. They don't feel that comfy and take up important space. Luckily, the Titan Evo 2022 has everything inside the chair itself.

What's even better is you can adjust the lumbar support via a side knob. This flexibility is one of Secretlab's proprietary design ideas that haven't been imitated by any competitor yet.

The Softweave fabric we tested out feels great too. It's stronger than previous iterations and strikes the perfect balance between soft and stretchy, and durable and hard. You'll need a break in period for this chair, but after that it's totally worth the price.

Our editor-in-chief Xander has been using a Secretlab Titan Evo 2022 as his main daily chair for a few months now. Head over to our full review if you want to learn more.

FantasyLab Big & Tall

There's no denying this: FantasyLab is a very obvious copycat of Secretlab chairs. Every single bit of design here is based on the Singaporean gaming chair pioneer.

Obviously, most of these features are a downgrade from Secretlab's proprietary ergonomics innovations.

However, FantasyLab is still a killer choice considering it's half the price of the big name brands.

With 3D armrests for just the right amount of adjustment, 400 lbs weight capacity, and proper memory foam cushioning, the Big & Tall is a bargain of a chair.

While the reclining function isn't too spectacular - it goes up to 130° only, it's still there. Sturdier than usual knockoffs, the wheel base and hydraulics allow even larger gamers to recline at ease.

A surprising feature is the built-in massager. Some knockoff brands do that to entice gamers who are embarking on daily long gaming sessions. This one's a weak massager all in all, but it can still bring some body stress relief if you'll be playing a lot.

The cheaper price comes due to several factors. The first deals with the warranty - you only get a 1-year warranty here, compared to 3 (or even 5) years with the big names.

The other main factor I'd like to note is the reclining function. Sure, it's easy to move around and the reclining degree is decent. However, the smoothness of the reclining process itself is pretty far away from what you'd get with Secretlab, for example.

All in all, though, a rather reliable and comfortable take on big and tall gaming chairs on a budget!
