They were both welcome options when I wanted to relax after a rough day, but by the end of the first week I’d stashed the lumbar support beneath my desk. It might as well be a throw pillow I borrowed from the couch. The lumbar support feels nice enough against my lower back, but it has no strap, which means there’s no way to secure it. The headrest cushion is the more useful of the two, as it comes with an elastic strap that neatly wraps around the top of the seat. I wonder what an Secretlab Alpha would look like. They feel so plushy that you can almost hear them apologizing for the rigidness of their companion chair. Both are made from memory foam and covered with dark, soft velour. But for those who can’t, the Omega comes with separate cushions for both the lumbar support and headrest. Like me, you may grow to like the stiffness (and I believe Secretlab intends that). When I briefly switched back to my plushy $695 Steelcase Amia chair after a week with the Omega, I felt positively decadent.
I imagine I good throne feels something like this. Thanks in part to this model’s soft short-yarn fabric, it keeps me comfortable without distracting me with excessive comfort. That firmness keeps me alert, I’ve found, and it helps keep my posture decent when I’m glued to Overwatch for hours or deep in rough drafts. Sure, the high-density foam gives a little when you press into the fabric, but only about as much as a thumb pressing into a palm.Īnd yet it eventually grew on me. Eight different people besides me sat in this particular chair, and each one took no more than 20 seconds before exclaiming “It’s harder than I imagined” or something that effect. Brands differ, of course, but they’re generally firm in their conviction that gaming chairs should be firm. When you’re used to sitting in traditional chairs, a gaming chair initially feels about as comfy as a mossy rock. I didn’t come to that appreciation lightly.
