Good chair with some caveats
on May 13, 2026
Posted by: Billy S.
Considering the cheap Amazon chair I switched from, this is a much better chair. But, I have some personal issues with it. The first is the seat depth not being as advertised. The specs say 15. 7" from the lumbar to the seat's edge when adjusted inward, mine measures 19" adjusted as far in as it can go (foam seat). Lastly, I'm not the biggest fan of the armrests. Whenever I put any of my weight on them to adjust my position or just to get up, the armrests move to the side/rotate.

Good chair HORRIBLE armrests
on May 8, 2026
Posted by: Joshua M.
The chair itself was easy to assemble and seems sturdy. I have had mine for about a month. It took a few days to adjust from a racer style chair. As someone who works from home it does hold up to long hours. My complaint is who in their right mind thought a almost zero resistance armrest mechanism was a good idea for a chair. The click is the warning that you are gonna have to readjust every few minutes. With almost no effort they will twist just from your elbow being on them. I might need to find a 3rd party to get me a actual decent and rigid armrest.

Thrilled about my chair

My first purchase was the cohmar glass standing desk, super sturdy great purchase. Next came this baby, omg I love this chair. Again as always sturdy well crafted, I got the max with the foam. I am 5'2 i fit perfectly in the chair my feet touch the floor. The support is so much better than my old staples chair such an upgrade, I am a flexispot customer for life.

Most uncomfortable chair on the planet
on March 24, 2026
Posted by: Charles
I have owned a secret lab and razer chair and used each for years. I was looking for something with more back support and found this chair on several review pages. I have used it for less than a week and am already experiencing extreme back pain in my lower and upper back. The chair does not have enough cushion and so your spine sinks down to the hard frame both in the lumber area and the upper back area where that frame portion curves back in. It almost seems intentional once I felt it, because it is aimed right at your back. There does not seem to be a purpose for it ether, its just cosmetic, but its part of the frame so there is no way to adjust it. I have tried several different adjustments and nothing prevents it from stabbing you in the shoulders.

Not a good chair nor experience
on February 18, 2026

Chair is very lackluster for its price. I bought it less than 4 months ago, and it feels cheap and underdeveloped. I am 6' tall and the lowest setting of the armrests is still too tall causing pain in my upper back/neck area. The cushion on the armrests are very cheap too, feels like I am driving my elbow through them and it hurts. This chair's lumbar support cushion also moves without a locking mechanicism which is really annoying. Overall, I am getting rid of it.

Best Chair Ever!
on February 6, 2026
Posted by: Diana
I have the C7 Morpher, had it about a month. I suffered lower back pain and hand/wrist pain daily after working 9+ hours a day. After using the C7 Morpher and getting my adjustments perfect, I no longer have severe back pain and my wrist/hand pain have let up. I don't know how I survived for all those years without it, definitely worth the money.

A good chair, but overpriced for its shortcomings
on January 28, 2026
Posted by: Michael P.
It took almost 2 months to get the chair, and I was hoping they would have incorporated the armrest updates promised to another reviewer more than six months prior. The chair seems to be of good quality and comfortable, but there are a few things that could be better to make this chair great and worth the price point. #1. The back adjusts, but it still does not adjust enough to put me in an upright position. #2. The armrests still do not lock in place and move constantly if I put my arms on them. They do lock for up and down motion, but a lock for any movement would be ideal, as this is very frustrating because the armrests won't stay put, and I constantly have to fiddle with them (see picture). #3. At 6'3", I was supposedly well within the range of this chair, but the headrest does not have enough adjustment to be usable, which is disappointing if I want to relax. This needs to be improved and provide much more range of motion, including several inches higher and inward to accommodate taller users. It also needs greater robustness as it seems a little flimsy and afraid will break as it is a thin plastic frame and seems to be an afterthought. #4. The seat cushion's forward and back adjustment is not enough to give me room to sit back in the chair and have space between the back of my knees and the front of the cushion with the cushion adjusted fully back. The cushion needs to be a little smaller, it seems. I can't imagine a tiny-framed individual being able to sit comfortably in this chair. With all that said, I question the value of this chair even at its sale price. It isn't a bad chair, just needs some tweaking by Flexispot to make it a great chair and worth the accolades their marketing claims, and worth the premium price.

perfect but I want a padded headrest pillow cover!
on January 23, 2026
Posted by: Adrian B.
Wonderful, but one small issue. I just got my my C7 Morpher with footrest and I couldn't be happier! The chair works beautifully as both an office chair and a recliner, and is extremely comfortable both sitting forward for work and reclining with the extended footrest. I do however have one complaint that causes me to take away one star: I bought the chair with the headrest primarily in mind. I want the headrest to sit in the most forward position possible - I don't want to have to lean my head back to meet the headrest. Unfortunately, the headrest does not lock in place - especially as forward as I would like to go. It too easily slides back further than I would like. I wish there were a stronger locking mechanism that would really lock that headrest in place. I quickly found a solution - I just put a standard bed pillow over the headrest, secured in place by the pillowcase around the headrest. This provides the exact cushion and comfort that I want, but I will need to take it off for when Im on video calls. I now wish that you provided pillow cushions (in cloth or especially leather!) that we could put over our headrests, for those of us who want our headrests to feel like a bunch of pillows in bed. I should emphasize that, other than a plush leather headrest pillow cover, I couldn't recommend this chair more highly! I love this chair and with the extra pillow headrest it is exactly what I had hoped for!
