Does anyone know what differences there are between the 2020 SecretLab chairs and the 2022?
Is it just the adjustable lumbar support?
Or between the Omega and the Titan other than size

I suffer from chronic back pain so I decided to buy a Steelcase Leap v2 for around £900 and the back support is incredible, it hugs you from every angle. My only complaint is the seat isn't that comfortable, for the price I'd want more padding, and the arms are rock hard. I ended up buying some £10 foam pads from Amazon and it's like I have armchair arms on my chair and it's so nice. I definitely don't feel like it's worth the money though, at like £400-500 I'd feel like it was a good deal.
Here's a pretty good breakdown of the differences:

Thanks, that will help
The 2020 chairs have a nice discount right now but I dunno about getting a Game of Thrones themed chair lol.......especially Lannister which is cheapest
Oh the 2020 Omega doesn't have the adjustable lumbar support thing, guess I don't want that one.....
Except that site says the pillow that comes with the Omega is the best lumbar support they've used........interesting

I've been using the Titan EVO 2022 for a couple weeks now and I'd recommend it. I do want to replace the armrest cushions though and it seems everyone else does, too!
Seems good/fine? More than I was accustomed to; I'm 6', purchased the regular size (19.3'' seat depth) which they recommend for people that are 5'7''-6'2''.
I'm on the lower end of that so I want to be sure it'll be good for my legs
So this will be better on my 30 year old runners back?
I'm using an IKEA $80 office chair right now and it's okay. I have lumbar support

Was on sale for $100 off I believe when I got it
Ended up with the Secretlab 2022 and it's pretty comfortable and well designed. It's pretty firm so be careful if you want a softer chair. The headrest pillow is pretty awesome. I still need to tinker with the lumbar support to figure out where I like it best. It also looks pretty stylish but not if you hate bucket seats lol
Got my Hyken for Christmas and assembled it.
Do not buy this chair unless you have a short torso or are shorter than 5' 6". I'm 5' 10" and have well balanced proportions, tending towards longer legs, and the lowest chair height is perfect but holy fuck the headrest at its highest position still digs into my upper back and shoulders, and there's no back height adjustment capability. This seems like an enormous issue, that someone of my height is perfectly comfortable at the lowest height setting but can't use the seat with the headrest without needing to scoot forward and slouch, because the problem would be infinitely worse for anyone needing a higher seat height.
Weird as hell.

I was going to return mine a couple years ago when I first got it because of the headrest issue. I followed the tutorial (I think linked in this thread) to flip the headrest and that allowed it to be comfortable for me at 6'. Then the headrest was properly aligned with my head.
Without modifying the headrest, I would say avoid if you're taller than 5'6".

I actually bought one of these back when this thread was first made. I'm not a fan - the headrest is way too low, and the seat curves in a way that if you're a bit on the larger side, you kind of get squeezed in by that curve. The latter is less of an issue now that I'm a lot lighter, but I'd need to be a good 6 inches shorter for the headrest to make sense.
I'll replace it at some point, but I'm not sure what with yet.
