Lumbar support too much
on January 17, 2021
Posted by: dchadj
The lumbar support is the main problem. After using the first day my lower back was killing me. It never got better. The lumbar support only moves about an inch up/down but it sticks out too far and needs a depth adjuster. That constant pressure into your lower back is just too much. It's going back.
The chair is very ergonomic and rated to be sat in for up to 10 hours. But the way the chair keeps your posture correct it angles your hip joints upward so your legs are slightly higher than your hips. If you sit for this long your legs start falling asleep and you can feel the effects when you’re driving or sitting in any other chair. Standing up for thirty minutes every hour or so fixes this but if you are sitting non stop throughout the day I do not recommend this chair for you. Great arm head and lumbar support.
The chair is just as comfortable at home as it was in the store. It was fairly simple to put together too. The hardest part was putting the wheels in—my very strong husband even had a hard time. The colored and labeled screws and pictures were so helpful though. I am looking forward to many years of comfortable use.
