Am BATMAN - Secretlab Omega 2020

shankly1985 · 28 Dec 2019 at 20:01

Decided to buy myself a new chair its been ages and well overdue since I got my Ikea Markus.

The reason I went with Secretlab is they offered 5 year warranty and the build quality from looking at videos just looked better, even the packaging sparks premium.

Only my first few hours seating so will take time to adjust coming from the Markus but it does feel like it very good. The PU leather is meant to be 4x better than 2019 edition also and I have seen demos of it going against a key scratch and holding up very well.

And Well its BATMAN

and looks the part even more so in person.

Pretty cool. What's on the back??

A major turn off for me is that Secret Labs generally have big logo's on the backs of their chairs, but that's because I'm going for a minimalist vibe. In the right setting, or for the right person, they look great.

Congrats on the new chair dude

Thanks the chair is very comfy but it did take some adjustments to get used to it coming from IKEA Markus.

The back has the name secretlab and the same batman logo

Do you mind me asking your height?
I'm 5ft10 which is at the very top of the recommended scale for the Omega but would prefer the tighter base that comes with the Omega rather than having to go for the Titan.

Am 5ft 8 my head rests perfectly on the head rest.

Oooo this chair looks pretty neat! How's the support like?

The cushion is very comfortable, fits my back so good.

tempted to get it, as my current chair has seen better days haha.

it looks pretty similar to the noblechairs epic

They get compared a lot online. I not used noble chairs so can't compare myself.
I can however say its more comfortable than my last chair ikea Markus.

Edit lol lady chair

For Omega owners, do you rest the lumbar cushion on the base of the seat or do you raise it up a few inches and let your back keep it in place as you sit in the chair?
I've left it on the base of the seat before now but am beginning to think its better for back health to pull it up a bit so it properly sits in the small of the back. I'm 5ft 8

I leave mine at the bottom of the chair.

Careful...you'll get ripped apart by some on here for not sticking with the Markus and paying more for a superior chair.

Markus is a good chair, if it was sub £100, the love for them is something I can't quite get on board with...i'm an ex Markus owner myself.

Having used it now for a good while am very happy with it.
Well worth the money I paid
