Secretlab has been making premium gaming chairs for years now, and though they remain one of the most popular brands, many people are seeking a Secretlab alternative.
Why is this you might ask? The big problem with Secretlab chairs is their extortionate price.
People want a premium quality chair and are prepared to pay well for it, but with many Secretlab chairs priced at well over $400, they are in danger of alienating customers.
There’s also a ton of other great chairs out there that gamers can choose from, and that’s why I’m here to help.
I’ve cooked up a list of the 5 best Secretlab gaming chair alternatives, covering everything from premium chairs, to chairs with great design, and chairs that are perfect for big and tall people.
Best Secretlab alternatives
- GT Omega Pro Racing Chair – Editor’s choice
- GTRacing Pro Series – Best budget gaming chair
- FantasyLab Big and Tall chair – Best for comfort
- Anda Seat Jungle Series – Best for design
- Homall Gaming Chair – Cheapest Secretlab alternative
1. GT Omega Pro Series – Editor’s choice
Features
- Material: Steel frame, PVC leather, Hign-density foam, Plastic
- Max weight: 265 Pounds
- Dimensions: 20.47 x 22.44 x 50 in
- Lumbar and headrest pillows: yes
- Adjustable backrest: 85-190 degree
- Warranty: 3 years warranty
This GT Omega Pro is similar to Secretlab counterparts but is priced some $170 cheaper than some equivalent Secretlab chairs.
That’s to say you’re not paying for the name as you are with Secretlab, but don’t be fooled by the price – this is still a quality chair.
It has a similar, stripped back design to the Secretlab Omega classic, but features more curved edges. Though it looks simple, I actually really like the design.
Secretlab offers some great themes on their chairs, but in terms of standard colors, their selection is not the best.
The GT Omega Pro can be purchased in any one of your favorite colors, with 7 different color options – which is better than the Secretlab!
You’re still getting all of the important features and sturdy materials that you get with the Secretlab chairs.
The GT Omega has the same cold-cured foam as the Secretlab, and metal parts everywhere too – from the frame to the sturdy base.
On top of that, the GT Omega gives you even better adjustability. Like the Secretlab, it has tilt locking and 4D armrests but can recline to up to 190°.
The equivalent Secretlab can only recline to 165°, so the GT Omega outperforms the Secretlab in this area.
Overall, I think that the GT Omega Pro is a brilliant alternative to the Secretlab chair.
Whilst it may not be as ‘flashy’, the design is still good – and when it comes to the build quality of the chair, the GT Omega Pro has many of the same components and materials as the Secretlab.
With better adjustability at a fraction of the price, the GT Omega is definitely a great option.
Our Rating – 9.8/ 10
2. GTRacing Pro Series – Best budget gaming chair
Features
- Material: Metal frame, PU leather
- Max weight: 300 Pounds
- Dimensions: 20.9 x 21.3 x 52 inches
- Lumbar & headrest pillows: yes
- Adjustable backrest: 90-170 degree
- Warranty: Up to 2 years warranty
If you’re scoffing at the price of the Secretlab chair, but still don’t want to pay as much as the GTOmega, then I’ve got a cheap Secretlab alternative that you just can’t ignore.
In fact, this GTRacing chair is one of the cheapest chairs on this list. It has also been known to outperform pricier equivalents, like the DXRacer, so you’re getting a lot of bang for your buck with this chair!
The cheapest Secretlab chair costs over $350, and it’s fair to say that at $200 less, you will have to make some compromises with the GTRacing chair. Nonetheless, this chair offers far better value as it still has great features.

The build quality is better than expected for such a cheap chair, and when it comes to adjustability, you’re actually getting better features than the Secretlab.
You’ve got a rocking feature and more recline angle than Secretlab’s most similar product.
It’s also worth mentioning that the GTRacing features much more of a ‘racing car seat’ design, with an angular backrest and seat.
Though you will have to compromise in some areas – there are more plastic components on the GTRacing chair, namely with the armrest construction.
The seat is also not quite as thick as the Secretlab’s, though when you consider just how much money you’re saving on this chair, you probably won’t care about those things!
This chair is a fantastic cheap alternative and thousands of people agree. This GTRacing chair is the number one best-selling chair on Amazon, with the reason being you get next-level value with this chair!

3. FantasyLab Big and Tall Gaming Chair – Best for comfort
Features
- Material: Steel frame, PU leather, high-density sponge
- Max weight: 400 Pounds
- Dimensions: 27.6 x 26.4 x 53.5 in
- Lumbar & headrest pillows: yes
- Adjustable backrest: 90-155 degree
- Warranty: 1-year warranty
For those who are looking primarily for a really comfortable Secretlab alternative, I’ve got a big chair that delivers comfort and ergonomic support in spades.
On top of that, this Fantasylab chair is far cheaper than the Secretlab and even has some additional features that you won’t find on a Secretlab chair.
Secretlab chairs are well known for their comfort, and here Fantasylab has made a chair that I think betters the Secretlab in this category.
Straight off the bat, this Fantasylab memory foam seat is massive and even thicker than what you can expect to find on any Secretlab.
This makes for a really comfy experience, along with an ergonomic backrest that supports your back and neck.
Whilst the Secretlab comes with head and lumbar cushions, the Fantasylab chair takes this feature to the next level.
Recommended reading:
The Fantasylab has a built-in massage function with the lumbar cushion, which makes for an even more relaxing experience than sitting in a Secretlab.
I think another area where you can compare this chair to the Secretlab is in the minimalist color scheme and design. If you’re a fan of the Secretlab’s mainly black colors you’ll love the Fantasylab, as it has a very similar-looking low-key color scheme.
The build quality is rock-solid on this chair, and you will also find functional extras, like a rocking feature, that some Secretlab chairs do not have.
Overall, if you can’t afford a Secretlab but want a chair that is even more comfortable, I would recommend the Fantasylab Big and Tall gaming chair.
It really is a great alternative to Secretlab, and at $230 you are saving over $100!
Our Rating – 9.9/ 10
4. Anda Seat Jungle Series – Best for design
Features
- Material: Steel frame, PU leather, high-density sponge
- Max weight: 400 Pounds
- Dimensions: 27.6 x 26.4 x 53.5 in
- Lumbar & headrest pillows: yes
- Adjustable backrest: 90-155 degree
- Warranty: up to 6 years warranty
In this list, we have another premium quality gaming chair that is also cheaper than Secretlab.
The Jungle Series chair surpasses the Secretlab in some other areas too. Namely, this is a great alternative to Secretlab for tall people.
Like the Secretlab, this chair is a ‘premium’ chair – so there are certain expectations that this chair meets in terms of build quality, and the quality of the materials used.
Anda Seat offers a resilient PVC leather that is just as tough as Secretlab’s PU leather, and the Iron base is even stronger than Secretlab’s aluminum base.
It’s worth mentioning that the Anda Seat is an e-sports grade chair, so you know that this is a top-quality product!
As mentioned before, this is a chair that will cater to tall people much better than some Secretlab chairs.
The extra-high ergonomic backrest is big enough to support your entire back, however tall you are – and the whole chair can bear up to 120kg of weight.
There is enough adjustability to find your perfect gaming position too, though perhaps Anda Seat doesn’t offer as many color options as Secretlab.
But it has to be said, the Anda Seat Jungle Series has the same premium build quality as the Secretlab for less money.
If you are tall and you don’t want to spend extra on a Secretlab Titan, this chair will accommodate you far better than any standard Secretlab chair.

5. Homall Gaming Chair – Cheapest Secretlab alternative
Features:
- Material: Steel frame, PU Leather, high-density shaping foam
- Dimensions: 19.8 x 20.5 x 47.8 in
- Lumbar & headrest pillows: yes
- Adjustable backrest: 90-180 degree
- Max weight capacity: 300 Pounds
- Warranty: 1-year warranty
Last but not least on our list is the Homall Gaming Chair.
Like the GTRacing chair, the biggest advantage the Homall has over the Secretlab is its comparably minuscule price of $159.
That makes the Homall the cheapest Secretlab gaming chair alternative on this list, at some $10 cheaper than the GTRacing chair.
Nonetheless, the Homall has a surprisingly good build quality, and if you are looking for a cheap alternative to the Secretlab that is a comfort-centric designed chair – the Homall is a perfect choice.
As a budget chair, the Homall has a really thick seat cushion and padded backrest that are comparable to the Secretlab chairs.
This offers great long-term support and a chunkier design that resembles the Secretlab chairs.
That being said, the design is another area where the Homall really excels and many will feel this chair looks better than the Secretlab.
There are 8 different colors which are far more than Secretlab can provide, with a racing car style seat that has smooth, curved edges and a sturdy look.
One drawback of this chair is the non-adjustable armrests, but for a really comfortable and good-looking Secretlab alternative that is mega-cheap – you really can’t go wrong with the Homall gaming chair.
Our Rating – 9.1/ 10
