It took me a while to finally get comfortable in the X-Chair X2 K-Sport Management chair. But now that I have, I don’t ever want to give it up.

This office chair, which starts at $799, not only looks great, but you can adjust practically every part of it to fit your body. Even better: the X-Chair X2 comes with an optional lumbar heating and massage pad. Now, when you’re on one of those endless Zoom calls, you can sit back and relax in comfort.

During my X-Chair X2 review, I — and my wife — discovered why it’s one of the best office chairs , it’s definitely one that should be on your shortlist.

X-Chair X2 review: Price and availability

I tested X-Chair’s X2 K-Sport Management chair—the company’s most popular model—which starts at $799. The model with the built in massager and heater starts at $899. You can choose between four fabric colors (white, gray, red, and black), add a headrest ($90), extended-width seat ($50), and X-Wheels ($50-$75). These look like the wheels you’d find on rollerblades, and while they look cool, they did not roll well on my low-pile carpet floor.

Other models in the company’s line include the X1 Flex Mesh Task Chair (starting at $689), the X3 ATR Management Chair (starting at $929), and the X4 Executive Leather Chair (starting at $1,149). There’s also an X-Basic Task Chair ($524) and the XS-Vision Small Task Chair ($599).

X-Chair X2 review: Design

This is definitely a step up from your AmazonBasics chair. The X-Chair X2’s aesthetic is somewhere between what you’d find from a sports agent and Elon Musk’s office decor. The lower chrome section of the X-Chair gleams, while the seat, back, and arms are a matte black. Both the seat and the back are mesh, which kept my backside nice and cool all day long. It’s a solidly built chair, and was shipped fully assembled. Fortunately, you can disassemble the X-Chair X2, which I had to do to get it up the narrow stairs to my attic.

Just about everything is adjustable on the X-Chair: the height of the seat, the angle the seat tilts forward or back, how far forward or back the seat is from the back of the chair, and the height and angle of the armrests.

The back of the chair raises and lowers so that you can get the lumbar support in just the right spot on your back. The mechanism has four notches, but if you go past the top notch, it resets to the bottom. I wish the chair featured some sort of lock.

The X-Chair’s ball bearings were so smooth that my two-year old daughter could easily spin me around. She thought it was pretty funny.

X-Chair X2 review: Comfort

Maybe it was because I was used to testing the best office chairs under $100 that it took me so long to adjust — and get adjusted — to the X-Chair. You can move, slide, tilt, and raise and lower so many things with the X2 that it took me a long time to figure out how best to configure the chair so I could sit comfortably at my desk. If I set the height of the seat too high, my legs felt squished, but if it was too low, then my wrist would rest uncomfortably on the edge of my desk when I used my computer’s mouse.

X-Chair X2 K-Sport Management chair review

At one point, I got frustrated enough to switch back to the $50 Furmax Office Chair, which has far less in the way of adjustments — you can raise and lower the seat height — but was more comfortable for my sitting style. After watching a video on X-Chair’s site , though, I was able to get the chair to fit me just right.

My wife had no such trouble getting the X-Chair X2 set up to her preferences. Immediately after sitting in the X-Chair, she didn’t want to give it up. I had to wrestle her to get it back to finish this review.

Aside from its comfort, the one thing that really sets the X-Chair X2 apart is the X-HMT optional heating and massage pad in the lumbar support section. The first time I turned it on, I felt like a teenager sneaking into Brookstone at the mall to sit in one of their massage chairs.

You can select either a continuous or pulsing massage, and one of two power levels. You can also turn the heating element on and off. The massager and heating pad can run off battery power, which will give you an hour or two depending on the settings. Alternatively, you can plug it in.

However, a plastic panel which holds the X-HMT massaging/heating pad in place kept popping out of the back of the chair. While the massage pad didn’t move, I was surprised that this little detail was overlooked.

X-Chair X2 review: Verdict

Back in August, I wrote that the Midea U smart air conditioner may have saved my marriage. The X-Chair X2 K-Sport Management might end it. Both my wife and I like it so much, it’s a race to our attic office to see who gets to sit in it for the day.

At $799 (or $899 for the X-HMT massage option), the X-Chair X2 is not cheap, but it’s much less than the Herman Miller Aeron — and that chair doesn’t come with a heating pad or a headrest.

X-Chair’s X-Tech Ultimate Executive Office Chair

X-Chair X-Tech Ultimate Executive Office Chair

The X-Chair X-Tech Ultimate Executive Office Chair —with its leather cushion, back, and headrest, is about as customizable as a made-to-measure suit. My partner and I are different heights and weights, and we share the office, so this is important. When I work from home, I only need to make a few adjustments to the armrests, the height of the seat, and the angle of the back of the chair, to have a comfortable sitting experience. And there’s a gentle learning curve you have to get over to make all of these changes, it’s easy to learn where all of the chair’s buttons and levers are. The one element we both love is the cooling memory gel seat cushion, which feels supportive and buoyant at the same time.

But I think what I like most about the X-Chair is its capacity for upgrades. You can opt for a lumbar massager and a separate heating and cooling unit, which keeps your lower back comfortable and relaxed. There’s a choice between standard wheels or the now-popular rollerblading style that we added to our last chair. And while we opted for the black leather, the chair is available in five other fabric and color combinations, so there’s likely something that’ll work with your home-office decor to choose from.

If I could change anything about it, it would be the user manual. X-Chair has a number of models, many of which feature similar specifications and elements, and the instructional pamphlet reflects this by combining instructions for different SKUs into the same document. Putting the chair together can be confusing—something I wish I’d known when we placed our order. The comfort and customization are worth the hassle in the long run, but if you get one for yourself, be prepared for a little headscratching when you get it out of the box.

X-Chair X3 ATR Mgmt Chair Review: Heat, Massage and Customized Comfort

It's not cheap, but it's better for your spine than an rtx 3090..

Tom's Hardware Verdict

The X3 ATR Mgmt from X-Chair offers loads of customizability to best suit your body and budget, as well as excellent lumbar support and an optional heat and massage feature. If you work and game from home, it's a worthy investment for your comfort and your spine. But starting at over $900, "investment" is definitely the word for it.

Extremely customizable and adjustable

Dynamic lumbar support

Heat and massage option

Warranty not as robust as some competitors

Why you can trust Tom's Hardware Our expert reviewers spend hours testing and comparing products and services so you can choose the best for you. Find out more about how we test .

We've said it before, but the best gaming chair might not be a gaming chair at all--especially these days when so many of us are both gaming and working from home. Do you want to broadcast a loud gamer aesthetic to your colleagues in every office Zoom call? And is a one-size-fits-all race car-like bucket seat the best thing for your spine to be sitting on 12-plus hours a day?

If you think the answer to those questions is no — or even if you don't but your lower back hurts as you progress through the day — it's worth considering a fully adjustable chair like the X-Chair X3 ATR Mgmt that I'm sitting at as I type this. Unlike most gaming chairs and many low-cost computer chairs, it's fully adjustable, configurable to best fit your frame, and has dynamic lumbar support that I've found far more comfortable than any cushion or pillow placed against my lower back. The optional heat and massage helps melt away tension, although that bit isn't all that powerful; Its placement in the lower back area won't help those whose pain and tightness gathers closer to their shoulders.

There is the small (OK, totally not small) matter of price. The X3 chair starts at $930, and as tested with the heat and massage feature ($100), headrest ($105) and rollerblade-like X-Wheels ($50), it sells for $1,185. While that's more than most people are used to paying for a gaming chair or a cheap computer chair from Staples or Costco, it's considerably less than the Herman Miller X Logitech G Embody Gaming Chair, which is mostly just a high-end office chair like the X-Chair with some tweaks. The X-chair's warranty is also longer than most budget office or gaming chairs, at five years for all materials and moving parts, plus an extra 10 years for all non-moving metal parts.

If you're going to be spending your foreseeable future mostly working from home, you might want to consider spending high-end GPU money on your work and gaming throne. Because while it's easy enough to swap in a new graphics card when the frame rates get too low, installing a new spine involves a lot more than popping off a side panel, removing a couple of screws and disconnecting the PCIe cables.

Specs of the X-Chair X-3 ATR Mgmt Chair

Assembly of the x-chair x3 atr mgmt chair .

The hardest part of getting the X3 ATR Mgmt Chair ready to sit in might be getting the 89-pound box into your room of choice. My office is up two flights of stairs, but I managed. Before you start assembly, make sure you have a fair bit of space, because the parts and packaging can quickly occupy a room once you start taking things out of the box.

That said, assembly is surprisingly easy. The wheels pop into the base, much like any other chair (which is to say requiring a fair bit of force). Then the gas lift goes into the wheelbase and the seat slides onto the lift via a hole. This is all fairly standard for any office chair assembly, but note that the seat base is easily the heaviest part, with its generous use of solid metal.

Sit on the seat a few times to make sure the gas piston is securely wedged into the seat section, and then it's time to attach the arm rests. This is simple, as the straight arm sections slide into sockets built into the seat section, and get secured with one bolt each. The company includes a nice handled driver for the hex key bolts, but I sped things up a bit by using a cordless screwdriver and matching bit. Place the other armrest in its socket and add another screw and we're getting close to the finish line.

The chair back and its two metal support arms also slide into sockets on the back of the chair, and four more hex bolts hold it in place. Unless you want to lay or sit on the floor turning screws, you may want to flip the chair over for this part and flip it back over when the four screws are tight. Last up is the head rest, if you opted for one.

A plastic piece covers the mounting holes at the top of the back of the chair. Pop it off with a screwdriver or knife and the headrest attaches with the last two hex screws. A smaller plastic screw cover hides your handiwork — or at least it should. I either misplaced mine in the excitement of the assembly process, or one wasn't included in the box. I'm going to guess the former, based on my personal history of losing small parts when setting up new tech or furniture. Regardless, that's the entire assembly process done. Not counting removing the parts from the box, assembly took me about 30 minutes. As someone who has spent hours trying to put gaming chairs together (with help from coworkers) in the past, the fact that I managed this myself in under half an hour is truly impressive. As I said, the hardest part was getting the box inside and up the stairs. You'll also need some muscle to maneuver some of the larger parts. This is one hefty chair, but it's also rated to handle humans up to 340 pounds. That's 40 pounds more than the Herman Miller Embody is rated for. And although my go-to office chair of the moment ( the Baderbräu Task Chair from Wayfair ) is rated to up to 331 pounds, the X-Chair feels much sturdier handling my sub-200-pound form.

Design of the X-Chair X3 ATR Mgmt Chair

While the X-Chair X3 ATR Mgmt chair is attractive enough, it's not particularly visually striking. It looks like a high-end office chair, made of mesh, silver metal and plastic--because that's what it is. Still, the mesh fabric (more on that shortly) comes in four colors for this model: black, grey, blue and glacier (a light blueish grey). Other models in the X-Chair lineup have other color options, with the top-end X4 Leather Exec Chair (starting at $1,149) offering eight color choices.

Speaking of the fabric, the company calls it Advanced Tensile Recovery (ATR), and says it's a "multi-layered knit polymer mesh." While I'm no materials scientist, the fabric feels durable but giving, conforming pleasantly to the contours of my back and backside. The company says it is also spill and stain resistant, designed to hold up well over the years. And remember, if it doesn't, there's a 5-year warranty on the fabric and moving parts. I chose this model over the leather model because of its breathability and because I've had nothing but bad experiences with leather furniture over the years. After weeks of sitting in the X-3 chair, I still think I made the best choice--especially since the leather model costs more. In a perfect world, my elbows would have liked for the same ATR fabric to be present on the adjustable arm rests as well, rather than the rubber-like padding the company uses, which has some give but could both look and feel better. But as anyone who's used a chair for years knows, the armrests tend to get dirty and worn faster than the rest of the chair. So I can see why X-Chair chose the easily cleaned, presumably wear-resistant black material here.

There's also a somewhat unsightly seam on the back of the chair, above and around the X-Chair logo where the cover for the metal core of the backrest and its height-adjustable ratcheting mechanism meets the upper portion of the back. For most, this will be a minor thing. But considering the cost of the chair, it feels like a design issue that should be improved.

Configuration Options of the X-Chair X-3 ATR Mgmt Chair

X-Chair sells a number of models, including an X1, X2, X3 and X4, with the price and features getting more premium as you head up the stack. There's also an X-Basic model that starts at $525. I'll be focusing just on the X3, as there's more than enough configuration options to talk about just within this chair line.

The base configuration of the X3 starts at $930 for the standard office chair, or $100 extra for the massage chair option, which includes heat. Next is your choice of fabric/mesh color, which was covered above. You can go with no headrest, or add the headrest and the attachment arm for $105. I feel like I could live without this, in part because I'm only 5-foot-7 and I don't tend to lean my head back often. But if you're taller or you like to rest your neck as the day progresses, you may want to consider the headrest. The good news is you can buy it separately after the fact. So if you're on the fence, go without it and buy it later if neck support seems lacking. The seat width is 20.5 inches as standard, but if you're the big and tall type you can get a 22-inch wide extended-width seat for $75 extra. I'm far from skinny, but again, as a person with a somewhat small frame, the standard width was plenty for me. I went with the standard seat foam, which feels comfortable and supportive, like a firm mattress. After sitting on the standard foam for dozens of hours, it's fine for me. But if you like things a bit softer, you may want to consider the memory foam seat, which is another $100 add-on.

The standard wheels are about what you would expect and should be fine for most people. But I went with the add-on X-Wheels, which are essentially swiveling rollerblade wheels for the chair. I've had these types of wheels on an office chair before and found them easier to roll around on. X-Chair says they're also gentler on surfaces, and since I'm currently using the X-Chair on a rug without a chair mat, hopefully they won't wear out my precious octopus anytime soon.

The X-Wheels start at $50 for the clear wheels (which are what I tested), step up to $55 for black wheels, and top out at $75 for locking wheels. The latter could be handy if you're on a hardwood floor or a smooth chair mat, as these wheels can make the chair surprisingly easy to move. The company also sells (and sent) a $40 swiveling footrest, which can be good for circulation and comfort when sitting for several hours at a time. But I didn't use it much because I also have a standing treadmill desk. So when sitting starts to become uncomfortable, I tend to hop back on the treadmill to get my work on.

As stated up top, the X3 chair starts at $930, and as tested with the massage feature, headrest and X-Wheels, it sells for $1,185. Personally, I could skip the headrest and the wheel upgrades. And I don't have serious lower back issues, so I could live without the heat and massage functionality (more on this in the next section), but there's no denying it adds another level of comfort.

Comfort and Adjustments on the X-Chair X3 ATR Mgmt Chair

Here's the thing about computer chairs (whether they be specifically for gaming or more general-purpose): The comfort difference between a great chair and one that's just OK (or even borderline awful) doesn't always leap out at you at first. Unless you have persistent back problems, anything with a base, a back, and some padding is going to feel OK when you first plunk down. But sit there for hours, and the pain points (sometimes literally) become clear. Is there not enough padding on the bottom? Is the back not the right shape to support your spine? Is the lumbar support too pronounced (as I've often found with gaming chairs with bulky back pillows), or not pronounced enough (often the case when you remove said pillow)?

While everyone's body shape, spine health, posture and preferences are different, I can say that I personally had no issues staying comfortable in the X3 ATR Mgmt Chair. As noted earlier, I would have preferred the arm rests be a bit softer. But they're so adjustable, it's easy to switch things up throughout the day so that your arms and elbows don't get fatigued. Buttons on the outside of each arm let you raise and lower the armrests 3.5 inches. And you can move them forward and back 2 inches, as well as twist them in or out several degrees. And there's a ratcheting action for each type of movement, so it's easy to shift things a little or a lot.

There's a similar mechanism for adjusting the back of the chair (2.25 inches) and the headrest (2.5 inches), although I found the headrest mechanism very stiff, making it hard to land in the middle rather than all the way up or down. The seat can slide forward or back two inches (seat depth is 19.5 - 21.5 inches) via one of the two levers on the left side, under the seat. The other lever adjusts seat height between 18.5 and 23 inches.

A lever on the right side adjusts the company's "SciFloat infinite recline," which is less than infinite as it is 40 degrees max. But you can also lock the recline at any angle between upright and max. I found most of the time while working, I prefered to keep the chair locked upright. But tipping the chair back a bit and locking it, giving me a slightly upward angle at my monitor, was more relaxing and enjoyable for long gaming sessions.

I haven't even touched on two of the X3's primary comfort features yet. First, there's the Dynamic Variable Lumbar (DVL) support, which is subtle at first but (for me at least) one of the chair's best features. The part of the chair that meets your lower back is mounted on a tension mechanism. So when you sit down, it moves back just enough to make room for the size and shape of your lower back, while still pressing comfortably against it. In short, it offers very good support to your lower vertebrae, without feeling like you have a chunky stuffed raccoon jammed in between the chair and your spine — which is what lumbar pillows usually feel like to me.

As someone who has lower back pain (usually in the mornings), the DVL feature is a major selling point. I don't know that it would make me go out and buy a $1,000 chair, but the $525 X-Basic has DVL as well. And if I spent 10-plus hours a day sitting in the same chair, I'd say DVL is worth a few hundred dollars all on its own.

And then there's the heat and massage feature, which I'm not entirely sure is worth the $100 add-on price, at least for most people. First the good bit: X-Chair ships two cables for the module, one that's connected to a power brick and plugs into a wall, while the other has a barrel connector at one end and a USB-A connector on the other. So you can power the heat and massage via your PC or, more conveniently, a small battery pack. I plugged the chair and USB cable into a 10,000 mAh Anker battery pack, wrapped the cable around the pack and stuffed them both behind an elastic strap on the back of the chair.

This effectively gave me a wireless heat and massage chair. And after using both for hours, the battery pack was only about a third drained. This made me wish X-Chair would change at least one of two things: Make the power input a standard USB port so that there's no proprietary cable to lose or break, or just build a small removable battery pack into the chair itself, which would look much better than my wrapped cable and battery combo. But at least I never actually had to plug the chair into the wall. No one wants a chair that needs to be plugged into a power outlet, and there's no way you wouldn't roll over the cable and damage it at some point. All that said, while there's no denying that the massage and heat feels good on my lower back, it's not as strong as I've seen with other standalone products, and it's confined just to the lower back. Plenty of people have tension and pain further up the spine. For not much more than $100, there are all kinds of standalone massagers, designed to be placed on a chair, that will massage and heat the entire length of your back and neck. What's in the X-Chair, while nicely integrated, feels more like a basic budget massager rather than what you'd expect in a $1,000 device. The controls are also inconveniently placed at the back of the chair as well, which makes using them while sitting kind of awkward.

Bottom Line

Look, there's no doubt many people will balk at spending around $1,000 or more on an office chair. And if you only spend a few hours a day in that chair, that's completely understandable. But if you used to work in an office and you now work from home (hi there, me), and you also like to play games or work on other things late into the night (also me), spending most of your waking day sitting in the same chair, you should probably consider upgrading to something that's actually built to house your backside for several hours a day. There's a reason offices usually spend hundreds or thousands on high-end office chairs, and not all of it has to do with regulations. Aside from long-term comfort and support, these kinds of chairs also tend to last much longer than your average $89 Staples chair. And with 5 years of coverage for moving parts and an extra 10 years on the metal bits, you can rest assured that the X-Chair X3 ATR Mgmt will either hold up well, or you'll be able to replace what wears out in that time frame. So what seems like a cheaper chair in the short-term may not be that if you have to replace it a few times over several years. That said, if it's a long warranty you're after, the Herman Miller X Embody chair seems to offer a better overall 12-year warranty that covers " casters, pneumatic cylinders, tilts, and all moving mechanisms." Speaking of that chair, it offers a BackFit feature with a knob that lets you adjust the chair to the curve of your spine. That's an improvement over most gaming and cheap office chairs, but I really liked the dynamic variable lumbar support on the X-Chair, which delivered seemingly the perfect amount of support for my lower spine, without having to fiddle with any knobs or levers. And that feature ships on most of the company's X-Chairs, including the X-Basic DVL Task Chair , which starts at 'just' $525. Sure, that's still a lot for a chair, but it's a far cry from the $1,500 Herman Miller/Logitech collaboration, as is the $1,185 configuration of the X3 ATR Mgmt Chair I tested.

Skip the heat/massage, headrest, and X-Wheel addons and you still have a very comfortable, solid chair that should serve you well for several years, for about $930. That's still a lot of money, but it's probably more affordable than doctor visits and pain pills over the years from spending large parts of your life in chairs that aren't designed to support your spine several hours a day.

ThatMouse +1 for not reviewing a chair with that fake leather that starts peeling after a year. Looks like a 20 year chair. Reply
Friesiansam Only 5 years warranty on the moving parts seams very mean at this level. Shows a lack of confidence in durability compared to Herman Miller and their 12 year warranty on everything, including the gas-lift. I've had an HM Aeron for 2 ½ years and it is the only chair I have ever owned that never, ever sags on it's gas-lift. Reply
iasonatas As someone who bought an x3, these are really comfortable chairs, hefty, with good base materials. However my chair came with crooked upholstery, some scratches and a deep gouge on the aluminum base, and started creaking badly after about 10 days. The only remedy for the chair creak is apparently a full replacement of the chair. I'm taking a refund, especially given the short warranty pointed out by others. Also note that I left a review on the x-chair website, very much like this one, and they decided not to publish it despite publishing more recent reviews. Based on this, I think x-chair is cherry picking the feedback published on their website. Reply

X-Chair X-Tech Executive Chair review: Ergonomic dreams that'll cost you

X-Chair X-Tech Executive Chair

Pros and cons.

Overall build quality and material are top-notch
Fast and easy assembly
Dynamic Variable Lumbar support is effective
Numerous adjustments from top to bottom
Expect to pay at least $2,000
Headrest adjustment is clunky
X-Wheels don't move in unison
Lowest height setting can still be too high

When it comes to perfecting any office setup, an ergonomic chair should be at the top of your bucket list. Besides keeping your posture at its most optimal position, a good chair provides enough adjustments to reduce short and long-term back pain.

About a month ago, X-Chair reached out to me to test its latest ergonomic offering: the X-Tech Executive . (I know, the name just rolls off the tongue.) While my initial reaction was, "Hey, isn't this the chair that I saw on TV ?" it was followed by a curiosity about how different a new office chair could be. After all, we've just passed the two-year mark of the pandemic, and ergonomic chairs have been all the rave throughout.

The X-Tech Executive starts at an eye-opening $1,915 , with additional costs for the built-in ELEMAX massager, locking wheels, and 360-degree armrests. After testing it over the past weeks, here's my assessment of the chair and whether it's worth the lofty price tag or not.

I'd like to preface that the X-Tech Executive chair that was sent to me came with the optional ELEMAX back massager. Besides adding vibration and cooling motors to the original Dynamic Variable Lumbar (DVL) support of the chair, the massager also adds a good five pounds to the overall weight. That said, if you're assembling the X-Tech for your upstairs room, I'd highly advise taking every part out of the box first and then piecing it all together where you want the chair to be.

The process took about ten minutes from start to finish in terms of assembly. This efficiency was in large part due to the minimal screw placements and the upper portion of the chair being preassembled. I simply popped the X-Wheels into the five-star base, laid the seat base atop, slid the backrest on, and screwed in the head and armrests. If done properly, you'll be left with a few spare screws for future maintenance, should you need them.

The top half of the X-Chair comes preassembled, making it easy to install onto the base of the chair.

The X-Tech Executive chair is not the most inspiring in the looks department. A quick search for " ergonomic chair " on Amazon will pull up a catalog of similarly-designed seats. Where the X-Chair separates itself from the masses is through fit and finish.

My experience with the X-Chair is what I like to call "love at first sit". I was greeted with the premium and exceptionally comfortable M-Foam seating as I sat down. The contoured base spans 22 inches wide, giving most body types enough room to sit for hours. Most of the chair is covered in what X-Chair calls "Brisa Soft Touch fabric". It's confusable for real, genuine leather material but is much more breathable and promotes air circulation. Clearly, X-Chair knows that people are spending hours in front of the computer -- more than ever.

The X-Chair in Onyx feels as premium as it looks.

While I can't speak to how well the Brisa Soft Touch fabric will hold up after years of sitting, it's proven to be durable and resistant to light scratches and scuffs from my month of testing. How do I know? The non-locking X-Wheels of my chair, when left idle, sometimes causes it to slide and bump into my drawers and bed frame. My only major call-out is how easy it is to leave hair oil and sweat marks on the headrest of the chair. I don't consider myself a heavy sweater and, frankly, don't lean against the headrest too often, so I was always surprised to notice the stains after a day of work. The occasional wet wipe fixes the blemishes, though.

Besides the soft-touch material, the X-Tech Executive has a plethora of adjustable parts. The two toggles on the bottom left side of the chair modify the height and forwardness of the seat base. While I found the latter to do an effective job at positioning my bottom, the height adjustment of the chair leaves room to be desired. I'm a 6-feet guy, but even at the lowest height setting, my knees were barely able to bend at a 90-degree angle (the golden rule for proper posture). It was then that I started to understand why every chair model in X-Chair's TV spot was using an elevated footrest.

The single toggle on the right activates a "SciFloat Infinite Recline" mechanism. That's X-Chair's fancy name for back-tilt. When turned on, you can recline up to 40 degrees backward. Though not as far as the near-180-degree recline of gaming chairs, the 40-degree angle is just enough to give you a comfortable resting position without provoking a sense of imbalance. It also reclines in a smooth and graceful manner. If you prefer a more resistant back-tilt, there's a knob beside the toggle to dial the chair's strength.

Arguably the most important part of any ergonomic chair is the lumbar support. The X-Tech Executive's DVL system is well-designed, flexible, and adaptive. These are crucial because while typical lumbar supports push against your lower back, the DVL's mesh and spring-like material catch your body and absorb the pressure. This puts less strain on your spine while creating a gentle snuggle as you lay back.

The DVL (in white) acts as a sponge, soaking in and relieving any pressure when you lean against it.

Given its uniform nature, I didn't feel a need to adjust the angle of the DVL but instead shifted the entire backing of the chair by sitting on the base and lifting the rest upward. There are four height levels that you can adjust, and X-Chair recommends positioning the upper half of the chair so that the DVL is adjacent to your lower back. With a bit of shifting, the X-Chair is easily one of the most form-fitting chairs I've sat on.

Lastly, let's talk about the headrest and armrests. The former is built with the same Brisa fabric as the body and has a subtle curve on the cushioning. Together, you have a comfortable pillow to fall back on and one that can be tilted upward or downward. The headrest is height adjustable as well, but the procedure is not as elegant as the other moving parts of the chair. To adjust, you have to forcefully push the headrest up or down from the back until it clicks and locks in position.

The four-dimensional armrests also require a bit of force to shift across various angles and depths, but the flexibility is greatly appreciated. My issue with the armrests is that they don't feel as premium as the rest of the X-Chair. Compared to the Brisa fabric and heavy-duty metal, the armrests are made of polycarbonate (or plastic), which makes them much more malleable. On the bright side, they're also more durable and can take a bump or two against a table.

Extra features

To elevate the X-Tech Executive, X-Chair offers a number of stylistic and functional upgrades. The first is the aforementioned ELEMAX massager that's built into the DVL support. When charged, a press of the back button turns the $130 massager on and generates a vibrating sensation. The same button toggles between different vibration modes, while a second one dials the intensity, and a third turns on a cooling fan. While this tech isn't new, and the machine doesn't knead your back per se, I was genuinely impressed by how X-Chair seamlessly integrated the ELEMAX system within the lumbar support. It's a clever, subtle, and effective add-on.

Also: Best office chair: Treat yourself

Besides a bevy of standard and Spring collection colors for the chair body, the X-Tech Executive also comes with upgradable X-Wheels. Notably, ones that are black (versus the standard clear color) and ones that have locking mechanisms. Oddly, I thought that the default X-Wheels -- which look and behave like rollerblade wheels -- did an unwanted job at limiting my movement when sliding the chair from side to side. More often than not, I'd experience a braking sensation since one or two of the wheels did not fully rotate in the direction that I moved in. Still, the X-Wheels are silent, glide in a nimble manner, and get the job done.

Reminiscent of rollerblade wheels, X-Wheels are fluid and silent in motion.

X-Chair X-Tech Executive

Bottom line.

At $1,915, the X-Tech Executive sits in the realm of premium, high-end office chairs, alongside that of Herman Miller, Autonomous, and Humanscale. For the price, I wouldn't recommend it for everyone, especially if you're shopping for remote work gear with a limited budget. But if you're less price-conscious and just want a comfortable, ergonomic, and classy chair, then the X-Tech Executive offers a feel and finish that simply can't be matched by its cheaper competitors.

Alternatives to consider

With more and more people turning to a work-from-home office or remote solutions for their careers, creature comforts that emphasize ergonomic health are becoming a necessity. But, unfortunately, most of us spend close to six hours a day sitting in our office chairs. This can be bad for our physical health and well-being.

The everyday work chairs are no longer the best solution to an effective workday. That is why we were excited to test out the line of high-quality ergonomic office chairs from X-Chair . Our X-Chair review involved everything from sitting all day long to orchestrated relay matches across our office floor. That is why we can definitively say X-Chair has one of the better ergonomic office products on the market.

The range of ergonomic options available from X-Chair met the desires of everyone in our office, with the exception of one tester who still prefers a standing office desk. For the rest of us, our X-Chair review was an ergonomic dream come true.

We should preface our X-Chair review by stating we are a free-form office space. That means that people bring in whatever type of chair they prefer to use. As a result, we have seen everything from ergonomic exercise balls as chairs to sitting on a man-made throne.

It was an absolute delight to test out the different X-Chair ergonomic products because it provided a welcome break from our hodgepodge collection in our sitting office space.

X-Chair Overview

X-Chair began in 2015 by introducing 21st century technology and ergonomic design into office chair comfort. The goal was to combine a distinctive ergonomic chair style with higher office productivity that molds to the shape of the user’s body.

The relatively small office furniture company based in New York in the US has grown into a sitting juggernaut of ergonomic office chair products. They allow users to make up to 10 ergonomic adjustments, including height, depth, backrest, headrest, and 4-dimensional armrests.

The X-Chair design’s biggest advantage is that it doesn’t need adjusting to achieve ergonomic success. X-Chair created a DVL (dynamic variable lumbar support) that actually adjusts itself when you take a seat, so you never lose that ergonomic health benefit. Furthermore, with their Scifloat Infinite Recline feature, you can adjust your seat to the perfect position. The DVL support and the Scifloat Infinite Recline are just some of the features X-Chairs offers in all of their office chairs.

The ergonomic office chair allows you to remain in motion during your workday, so you don’t restrict blood flow or circulation. X-Chair doesn’t allow you to slouch over your office work like so many of us do. You can quickly go from a resting, laid-back position in the X-Chair, to an active forward-leaning position with barely any effort.

The whole point of the ergonomic X-Chair is to ensure a healthier office worker during the long days of sitting at your desk. Below is a great overview of X-Chair and their line of products:

X-Chair Review – X1 Model

It is safe to say this is the “standard” X-Chair model, but that doesn’t quite meet the quality of this office chair. The X1 Flex Mesh Technology Task Chair was the big hit with our testers that prefer more airflow in their office setting. The open mesh backing and stainless steel under framing deliver a stylish look while keeping the user cool and with support while sitting.

When sitting in this ergonomic X-Chair model, the first thing you notice is the delicate balance between bending resistance. As a result, you don’t feel like the X-Chair X1 will fold in on you or that you cannot sit back with ease when you want to relax in your office.

We were all impressed by the added padding X-Chair put along the chair of the X1, so it doesn’t press into the back of your thighs above the knee. Many of us suffer from that red line that cuts off circulation after sitting too long, and X-Chair reacted to this need with this ergonomic office design.

X-Chair X1 Pros and Cons

Excellent breathability
4D armrests
Incredible ergonomic lumbar support
Not really meant for users taller than 6’ 2”

X-Chair Review – X2 Model

It might take you a few moments to find your ergonomic comfort zone with the X-Chair X2 K Sport Management Chair , but once you do, you’ll never go back to any other office chair. Not only does the X2 look like it was designed by a team of ergonomic artists, but it also adjusts at practically every part of your body’s fit.

The X-Chair X2 has the same mesh design as the X1, but you also get an additional headrest that completes the entire office chair’s sitting comfort. The mesh on the seat offers the right amount of spring that has support but doesn’t feel like a park bench when sitting.

You get the option of multiple colors for your X-Chair ergonomic sitting experience. We have quite a few gamers on our testing team that think this ergonomic office chair supported them better when leaning back like they would during a long session.

X-Chair X2 Pros and Cons

Broad adjustability for pretty much any tester who tried it in our office
The added headrest
Breathable mesh and smooth casters
Excellent ergonomic sitting design with support
Not great for those users who prefer sitting on a more firm chair
Not all color options included the wide seat

X-Chair Review – X3 Model

We found the assembly of this X3 ATR Mmgt Chair from X-Chair to be the easiest out of the bunch. All ergonomic X-Chairs arrive disassembled and in a box. It can take some work to get them in proper shape, but absolutely worth the effort. There is an included driver for the hex key bolts, but a cordless screwdriver and matching bit can speed the process up.

The elegant design of the X3 looks different than the X1 or X2 chairs . You still get a breathable mesh, but this time it is so closely strung together that it seems more like a covered seat cushion than the original square pattern of previous models. X-Chair calls this their Advanced Tensile Recovery material made from “multi-layered knit polymer mesh.”

They offer a big and tall support version of this ergonomic office chair for those larger workers who want a seat. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to get our hands on one of those ergonomic seats but could tell by the provided dimensions it would accommodate some of our heftier testers.

We’re not sure if X-Chair intended for the X3 model to feel different, but we all noticed a bit more fluidity in design when we were sitting down. You get a decent sense of flow when you lean back and move around in this model that we truly enjoyed.

X-Chair X3 Pros and Cons

Excellent maneuverability
Strong ergonomic support
Looks more like an office chair than a gaming chair like previous models
This model introduces a higher level of price

X-Chair Review – X4 Model

The X-Chair X4 Leather Exec Chair is definitely meant for those users who prefer a more luxurious ergonomic sitting experience. You still get all the ergonomic health benefits and adjustability of previous models, but this model includes a sleek-looking leather style that feels more modern and customized than the other chairs. In addition, you can select the supple premium leather or Brisa, which is more breathable. Both ergonomic seat options come in brown, cognac, black, or red colors.

All of our testers picked up on the high-density molded foam cushion. We had difficulty prying people out of this ergonomic office chair because of the enhanced comfort level. There is a nice balance between cushion and depth support without overly plush like other executive chairs.

This is not for those people who prefer sitting in traditional executive-style chairs. While the leather and design are incredible, they are modern enough and use many ergonomic adjustments not found in older chairs.

You can read our in-depth review of the X-4 here .

X-Chair X4 Pros and Cons

Variety of colors to choose from that enhance the overall look
Excellent materials to choose from. We suggest the Brisa for breathability
The resilient molded foam seat is perfect for long hours of sitting
Excellent support with the ergonomic seat design
An integrated lumbar system that isn’t as adjustable as other models
This has the highest price tag of the X-Chair product line

X-Chair Review – X-Tech

The X-Chair X-Tech Leather Executive Chair is similar to the X-Chair X4 model, except many of the optional features you would get with the X4 come standard with the beginning design of the X-Tech Executive chair.

The other significant difference between the two options is the color schemes and luxury designs. While the X4 certainly feels like an executive chair, the X-Chair X-Tech executive takes aesthetics to a whole other level. Originally this chair was supposed to only be offered during special promotions or seasonal sales. However, the public demand and outward showering of positive reviews made the X-Chair company rethink its product strategy and begin to provide access to the X-Chair X-Tech leather executive chair year-round.

Whatever the reason for the shift in company policy, this is hands down the most premium X-Chair product with all the bells and whistles you could want for working in an office or at home. We highly recommend you try out the X-Chair X-Tech, especially if you are stuck in front of a desk or computer for extended hours at a time.

Be sure to take your time picking out a color option. X-Chair did a great job of providing more color combinations compared to other X-Chair models with this executive option.

If you want more details, you can read our in-depth review of the X-Chair X-Tech leather executive chair here .

Superior material design compared to other executive level chairs
Incredibly comfortable with same upgradable options like X-HMT and Elemax
Easy to assemble and adjust to whatever position you’d like
Smooth transition from position to position
A bit on the pricier side of the market
Headrest was difficult to adjust

X-Chair Options – X-HMT and Elemax

We’ve been holding back on the additional options available in the X-Chair series of office chairs because they can be added to any of the models for added comfort and ergonomic health benefits without sacrificing ergonomic design.

When we first learned about our X-Chair review, we got excited about the ergonomic features provided by the X-HMT and Elemax. One look at X-Chair’s website, and you’ll know quickly that these are essential upgrades if you can afford the price.

The X-HMT is an additional feature for the X-Chair system that offers a range of health support benefits along with the ergonomic design by heating and massaging your back as you sit. With the innovative massage technology and X-HMT heat feature, you can select from constant or variable massage cycle with 2 levels of intensity and heating capabilities.

Some of the health benefits include:

Increased blood flow
Deeper relaxation
Speeding muscle recovery
Reducing stress and anxiety
Lumbar support with ergonomic seat design

The latest addition to X-Chairs features is the Elemax cooling, heat, and massage unit and is similar to the X-HMT chairs in all the X-Chair models, but it also includes an additional dual-fan cooling element for those hotter days. These features tun on battery power and can charge these units using a USB cord, which is what we suggest doing whenever you’re not sitting in the chair. Otherwise, you risk running over the cord at inconvenient times.

These features convert your office chair into a soothing massage chair with excellent support.

X-Chair features a round of other excellent accessories that are worth exploring when you purchase your own model office chair. A complete list is up on their website, but a few we thought you might like to know are:

X-Chair Accessories

X-Table Mobile Adjustable Height Desk – designed for your seat to be completely mobile around your home or work office.
X-TS Monitor Arm – connects directly to your X-Chair model so you can have a tablet or thin screen monitor handy while sitting.
X-FlexTop Adjustable Standing Desk – we wanted to test this out for our one standing desk member but couldn’t get it from the company.
X-Wheel Blade Caster – these look amazing and increase the speed of your sitting movement by quite a bit if you’re unprepared.
X-Chair Headrest – a must for those that enjoy lying back in their office chair without losing ergonomic seat design.
Stool Conversion – great for people that want to remain sitting when working around their engineering, architecture, shop, or healthcare space.

Build Your X-Chair Experience

Maybe it is because the X-Chair comes from a tech-oriented industry, but every single one of the models has a “Build Your X-Chair” option where you can completely customize your chair based on the pre-selected model.

We did this once and then donated the final product to a local school after testing the process so a teacher could enjoy the health support. Essentially you go down the list of every available feature and select whatever your personal preference is.

We started with the X3 ATR Mgmt Chair and chose the X-HMT feature for an additional $100. We went with the black fabric and added a headrest. We wanted to go with the extended width but figured most teachers don’t fill out a chair like some of our testers do, so we turned that health option down.

The memory foam and clear blade wheels were a must, but we did pass on the footrest option, even though we had heard fantastic things online about having it under our desk.

This was a rewarding experience because we were able to craft a chair that fit our specific needs better than the standard model. The resulting X-Chair was a bit more expensive, but that is to be expected whenever you customize.

X-Chair Assembly

Assembling an X-Chair is fairly quick and easy. It took us a total of 10 minutes to put the chair together with only a few screws on the bottom of the chair, and a few more to fasten the optional head rest and arm rest. It took us longer to unpack the parts from the box than it did putting it together.

X-Chair provides an easy to follow instruction manual, complete with images and clear directions on what goes where.

That said, the box we received was heavy and if you plan on having your X-Chair on a second level, we suggest having someone help you. Otherwise, you may want to take the unassembled X-Chair upstairs and assemble it in your desired room.

X-Chair Construction Quality

X-Chair has excellent craftsmanship and quality. The material is clearly high-quality with a nice sheen to it. It looks sleek and modern, especially with the additional head rest option.

X-Chair works by using a counterbalance system that allows you to easily move from place to place without getting up from your chair or exerting any unnecessary force.

As we mentioned earlier, the X-Chair is heavy. Much of the weight is due to the seat and back rest. Both are made with quality materials that provide a comfortable and sturdy experience.

We upgraded the wheels on our X-Chairs for better mobility, but the standard wheels are also very good. We were impressed with the quality of the wheels and how durable they last with continued use throughout our office.

The image above are the wheels that come standard to any X-Chair you purchase. We found that these wheels work just fine if you decide not to upgrade to the X-Wheels.

X-Chair Adjustment Mechanisms

SciFloat Infinite Recline : To change the amount of resistance you feel as you lean back, you can turn the the SciFloat knob to the desired location.

Tilt Lock: You can make adjustments to tilt lock to recline the the chair to you desired location.

Seat Height Adjustment: A standard in almost all office chair, the X-Chair will adjust to your desired height.

Seat Depth Adjustment: Similar to the height adjustment, the X-Chair will also adjust to your desired depth.

Armrest Adjustment: The X-Chair also allows you to adjust your armrest to your desired height and angle.

Importance of an Ergonomic Chair

Your comfort and health while sitting in an office chair cannot be understated. When we did our X-Chair review, we paid special attention to the ergonomic health features and design to see if it really delivered the health benefit promised by the advertisements.

The whole point of an ergonomic chair is to maintain your posture while sitting for extended periods. You want to reduce any pain or discomfort while supporting the lumbar, health, and decreasing hip pressure. There’s nothing worse than trying to work with back pain caused by your chair.

When you look for an ergonomic chair, you need to consider:

Seat height – you want a range of 16 to 21 inches that is adjustable.
Seat depth and width – between 17 and 20 inches in width and deep enough that you can rest your back on the chair while leaving 2 to 4 inches between the back of your knees and chair seat.
Lumbar support along the lower back to avoid slouching.
Backrest width – between 12 through 19 inches and adjustable.
Seat material – soft and comfortable that breathes well.
Armrests – fully adjustable and allow the arms to rest comfortably without raising the shoulders.
Swivel – easily rotate around the room without having to exert a lot of force.

We were happy to discover each of these features was met by the technology and design of the office chairs in our X-Chair review.

Is the X-Chair Worth It?

Let’s get down to brass tacks for a moment. The price range of the chairs in the X-Chair line of products ranges from the most basic at $499.99 to the most luxurious at $1,199.99, and that doesn’t include added features like the X-HMT or Elemax.

To put it bluntly, these are not cheap office chairs. That being said, they absolutely compete well in their price range against other brands and manufacturers. We searched extensively for other chairs at this level and found our X-Chair review was in the middle to the high area of the price range, depending on extra support accessories.

We found the X-Chair to be reasonable for the price tag. You get a ton of features and incredible movement with the support that makes it feel you’re floating on air as you travel from desk to workspace. So yes, we think the X-Chair is worth the price.

X-Chair FAQ

What is the Weight Limit?

The weight limit for the X-Chair is 300 pounds, but that might be a little low when you consider how durable it feels in your hands. We think you can easily double or triple the load and still have no issue supporting up to 600 pounds with this ergonomic chair.

Will You Ship International Orders?

Yes, they ship international orders for customers who have received their order confirmation email.

What is the Warranty?

X-Chair warranty is fantastic! It comes with a 5-Year warranty. The first two years, X-Chair will cover the costs of the parts and shipping. The remaining three years, X-Chair will continue to cover the costs on parts, but you will be responsible for the shipping fees.

How much is Shipping?

X Chair offers free shipping in the U.S. and Canada. If you are shipping internationally, check the X-Chair website for prices.

What’s the return policy?

X-Chair offers a 30-day return policy.

Are Assembly Instructions Included in My Order?

Yes it comes with very detailed assembly instructions.

Do They Sell Replacement Parts?

Yes, you can purchase replacement parts like screws and buttons for your X-Chair.

How Long does it Take to Make the Chair After I Order?

The time frame will depend on whether they have any back orders before yours in line. It shouldn’t take over 30 days if they aren’t backed up.

Can I Use the Chair with My Laptop at a Standing Desk?

Yes, you can adjust it to any height. It also has leg rests that are adjustable so if you want to sit or stand, you have options.

Can I Use This Chair Without the Back Support?

No, it’s not recommended without the back support. It makes for an uncomfortable sitting experience.

What Games Can I Use this for?

This chair is definitely a gaming chair. You can also use it for watching movies, surfing the internet, and working on projects that require a lot of sitting.

Does It Matter If Your Legs Are Longer or Shorter?

It doesn’t matter if your legs are longer or shorter. You can adjust the chair to fit you no matter your height or weight.

Can I Adjust the Arm Cushions?

What if I Have Back Problems?

With this chair’s lumbar support, you shouldn’t have any issues with productivity or comfort. It also has a headrest cushion for those who need it.

Wrapping it Up

The X-Chair created a new standard for office chairs. Their line of chairs provides a well-constructed alternative to the dusty old traditions of previous uncomfortable models. You get all the promised adjustability, support, and free flow of movement that allow you to work effectively throughout the day without having to constantly stand to get blood flow back in your lower extremities.

It is a true delight to be able to lean back and feel like you’re reclining in a movie theater every time with the X-Chair. Better yet, you don’t experience the sweats from competitors that don’t account for the breathability of quality mesh fabric.

We strongly recommend users purchase the X-Chair accessories of the X-HMT and the headrest to get the full sitting comfort. They may have an additional price but are totally worth it.

The assembly isn’t that difficult, and the chair will mold to your body after a bit of use so that you can move without feeling restricted by a tight chair. Even if you experience an office accident or an out-of-place part, X-Chair provides a 5-year warranty and decent customer service.

If you are in the market for a high-quality office chair with innovative ergonomic features and health benefits, we recommend the popular models of X-Chair we discussed. The good news is that with free shipping and a 30-day free trial, you can try out the chair to see if it’s worth it for you!

Windows Central Verdict

The X-Tech Executive is the most comfortable chair I've ever used, and it has continued to get better over the last two months of use. It's made up of high-quality material, the setup is quick and easy, and it has been designed from the ground up for proper human ergonomics. It is very expensive, but not out of line with other high-end chairs on the market.

High-quality materials used throughout

Free-floating lumbar support adjusts to your movements

X-Wheels work well on hardwood and carpet, won't damage floors

Extensive adjustability options for optimal ergonomics

Should you buy?

X-Chair has been around in some capacity since 1994, and for the last half decade it has been offering high-end ergonomic office chairs that compete with the likes of Herman Miller and Steelcase. Since starting a full-time office job in 2016, I've gone through numerous chairs in the hopes of finding the perfect fit for me; back and leg pain from extended periods of sitting are no joke, and even with a standing desk I still need to sit during long workdays. I just might have found the ideal sit in the X-Tech Executive. This premium office chair doesn't come cheap, but it's built exceptionally well and is loaded with high-end features and optional add-ons. I've been using it daily for the last couple of months to get the full picture. Is it right for you, and is it worth the price?

X-Chair X-Tech Executive: Price and availability

X-Chair supplied Windows Central with a review unit of the X-Tech Executive chair. These chairs start at about $1,915, and there are plenty of add-ons available. My specific chair has an additional heat and massage lumbar portion that costs an extra $65, bringing the total to about $1,980.

You can purchase all X-Chair models directly from the official X-Chair website, with 10 different colorways available for the X-Tech Executive. There are also third-party retailers selling some models; the X-Tech Executive that I'm reviewing can also be purchased from Amazon.

X-Chair X-Tech Executive: What I like

The X-Tech Executive comes packed into a single (heavy) box, with adequate padding surrounding all pieces. A diagrammed insert includes all the tools and screws you'll need to assemble, as well as a small instruction booklet. All the fasteners are labeled, making for an easy setup. It took me about 10 minutes to get the chair together once it was unpacked. X-Chair has a handy video available at its website if the printed instructions aren't enough.

The chair uses solid stainless steel for the five-star base, as well as stamped steel for the wheel casings. The rubberized "X-Wheels" (are you noticing an X-trend?) are what you'll find on modern rollerblades, with quality bearings that roll easily. I used the chair mainly on a hardwood floor in my office, but they also tested well on a carpeted floor. Rolling around on hardwood is quiet and smooth, with no risk of damaging the floor. For an extra $24 you can add locking wheels; not a bad idea if you want to prevent a bit of drift while at a desk.

The seating portion's piston is also solid steel, giving way to some thick plastic for the seat's adjustment controls and padding underside. A steel spine runs up the rear, which the backrest attaches to. The armrest bases are steel as well, with adjustable plastic portions attached. My model doesn't have them, but you can add FS 360 armrests which provide height, 360-degree rotation, and depth adjustments. The top padding is fairly thick to prevent elbow discomfort, and I'm able to get an ideal fit no matter how I'm using the chair. The armrests have just a bit of wiggle to them, but nothing that's distracting while working or gaming.

The X-Tech Executive has a contoured seat filled with memory foam and it is covered in a fabric that feels like soft leather but is actually breathable. I used an actual leather chair for years, and while it looked and felt great, it wasn't exactly ideal for hot summer days. The fabric used here is the best of both worlds. It has held up well during use, with no scuffs or scrapes, yet it lets air circulate beneath while sitting.

This is the most comfortable chair I've ever used. The curving angle at the front of the seat prevents rear leg pain (something I've experienced from every other chair I've used), and the sides are thick and padded to keep you in place. After a couple months of use, the chair has molded itself to my rear end. It keeps getting more comfortable the more I sit in it. The seat depth can even be adjusted a couple of inches in and out to help you line up properly with the back and armrests.

I'm well over 6 feet tall, and many chairs don't fit properly when it comes to back support. The X-Tech avoids this issue with a vertically adjustable backrest. It has more than 2 inches of movement, which makes a big difference despite not seeming like a lot. The backing is again thick plastic attached to the steel spine. The main portion uses the same breathable fabric as the seat, with wide framing to prevent pressure on the shoulders. It is cupped for extra comfort. Below this is a "Dynamic Variable Lumbar (DVL)" portion that floats semi-freely. This allows it to follow the natural curve of your back no matter how you're sitting.

The X-Chair X-Tech Executive gets more comfortable the more I use it.

My review unit has an upgrade that adds cooling, heating, and massage to this DVL portion. It features a rechargeable battery (with a removable AC adapter) that seems to last quite a while. There are a few massage speeds and patterns, and you can set it to hot or cold as necessary. The controls are on the back of the chair, but once you've used it a few times it's easy to just reach back and turn it on without getting up. It's an ingenious way to add extra (and optional) comfort without disturbing the ergonomic lumbar support.

On the right side of the chair is a toggle for what X-Chair calls a SciFloat Infinite Recline. Together with a resistance dial, you can set the perfect weight to your recline. I can sit back easily without worrying about going too far, and the 40 degrees of movement is enough to get a comfy position with a laptop on your lap.

X-Chair X-Tech Executive: What I don't like

The X-Tech Executive's headrest is its weakest feature. Though it uses the same breathable fabric and is adjustable for depth and height, it seems like it sits a bit apart from the rest of the chair's quality and ease of use. Adjusting the headrest's plastic framing seems a bit risky, mostly due to the rigidity of the joints. Nothing has broken so far, but I don't really adjust it that much. At least it's comfortable when you rest your head on it. It can be removed quite easily if you'd like to forego completely.

The only major drawback to this chair is the price. At about $1,915 for the base chair, it sits firmly in the upper echelon of office furniture with Herman Miller and Steelcase as company. There's also currently a banner on the site that says prices are going up July 12, 2022, though it doesn't say by how much. With the Elemax massaging lumbar portion included, you're looking at a total price of about $1,980.

As we'll see in the competition section below, this price is in line with other premium office chairs. But that doesn't mean it won't take a big bite out of your wallet. Is it worth the money? I would say so thanks to the high-quality build and coverage. It comes with a 15-year limited warranty that includes two years of full parts and shipping costs, with another three years of full parts coverage. For the remaining 10 years, X-Chair covers all metal (non-moving) parts.

X-Chair X-Tech Executive: Competition

When it comes to the best office chairs , Herman Miller and Steelcase are both brands that are immediately recognizable. The latter brand's Leap V2 chair can generally be had for about half the price of the X-Tech Executive, though adding on features like extra height, leather finish, adjustable lumbar support, adjustable arms, and better wheels quickly gets it into the same price range. Many people here at Windows Central swear by the Leap V2, especially due to there being plenty of refurbished models available for a discounted price.

The Steelcase Gesture is another high-end option with a closer price tag to the X-Tech Executive, especially once you add a headrest and a leather finish. It has a slightly different design compared to the Leap, which might be better for smaller people.

The Herman Miller Aeron is a mesh chair with plenty of ergonomic adjustments, built-in lumbar support, and plenty of breathability. Prices start at about $1,195, but choosing size, back support, tilt, arms, and casters will quickly get it up to the same price range as the X-Tech Executive.

In terms of X-Chair's own competition, it has multiple chairs starting at about $700. They're all available at the official X-Chair site and third-party retailers like Amazon, with plenty of customization options available. And for something even more affordable, have a look at our recent FlexiSpot BS10 chair review .

Should you buy the X-Chair X-Tech Executive?

Who it's for ...

Those who can spend $2,000+ on an office chair
Those who want a high-end chair with adjustable everything
Those who are looking to alleviate back and leg pain from sitting

Who it isn't for ...

Those who aren't particularly concerned about ergonomics or lumbar support
Those who primarily use a standing desk
Those who can't justify spending thousands on a single chair

The X-Tech Executive is an impressive office chair. It goes together easily thanks to clearly labeled hardware, provided tools, and a printed instruction booklet. Every portion can be adjusted, and the floating lumbar support follows your back as you move in the chair. The fabric, though not real leather, delivers the soft feel and allows for breathability, especially important in hot climates. The wheels rotate freely and won't damage a hardwood floor, and the seat's memory foam keeps getting better over time.

The real drawback to this chair is the price. Are you looking to spend around $2,000 on a single piece of office furniture? The X-Tech Executive is easy to recommend. It's extremely comfortable, and it comes with generous warranty coverage. If you're looking to spend less, X-Chair has a bunch of more affordable alternatives, as do other premium chair makers like Herman Miller and Steelcase.

The X-Chair X-Tech Executive is the most comfortable chair I've ever used. If you suffer from back or leg pain caused by long days of sitting, this chair could help alleviate it. The biggest drawback is the price, but it's in line with other high-end office chairs.

X-Chair X4 Executive Office Chair

Ergonomic armrests

Adjustable everything

Difficult to move headrest

The X4 Executive Chair is one of the best choices for a home office setup and helps maintain good ergonomics.

X4 Executive Chair vs. Mavix M9 Gaming Chair

Final Verdict

X-Chair provided us with a review unit for one of our writers to test. Read on for the full review.

Getting a home office setup that helps ensure a comfortable work from home environment can be a tricky beast. From finding the right desk for your needs to grabbing the best ergonomic keyboards , one can almost forget one of the most important features in building a home office: a quality office chair.

Admittedly, this was one of my biggest follies as I began to work from home. I naively believed that just grabbing a dining room chair was the most reasonable option. Thankfully, the X4 chair by X-Chair came into my life. With leather cushioned seats and lumbar support, I was enamored with this office chair.

Design: Fancy looks

The X4 Executive Chair comes in up to eight different colors, with each color offering a different option—and a varying price tag. I chose the model with a red premium leather finish. For an executive office chair, the bright red leather gave it a fun pop of color that complimented my standing desk. At 54 x 25 x 21.5 inches (LWD), the chair offers a variety of customization options, including a headrest and higher-quality wheels.

While the frame is made of metal, the armrests appear to be made of soft-touch polycarbonate with a slight slope for a comfortable feel. The armrests’ build material didn’t quite fit the quality of the rest of the chair, however, they’re likely going get dinged the most by the desk, so it makes sense since polycarbonate is durable and withstands bumps well. And, either way, the chair still looks very sleek and stylish for any office setup.

Comfort: It’s all in the ergonomics

The X4 hypes up all of its ergonomic settings. In fact, it boasts that it’s completely adjustable, from the comfort of its lumbar support to the height and angle of the headrest. At first, I struggled to get some of the pieces to shift, particularly the aforementioned headrest. It took me and one other person five minutes to get it to budge an inch. This did not particularly fill me with hope as I set about adjusting the rest of the chair.

Despite the first issue with the headrest, every other part of the chair adjusts easily, from the four-dimensional armrests to the backrest—and in most cases with the press of a lever.

However, my fears proved to be unfounded. Despite the first issue with the headrest, every other part of the chair adjusts easily, from the four-dimensional armrests to the backrest—and in most cases with the press of a lever. That said, the chair takes time to adjust properly and it may take a few different tries to find angles that work for you.

Performance and Usage: Amazing experience

When you find that sweet spot for this chair, holy moly. Most of my day, I’m hunched over laptops for work. The X4 makes sure that you don’t slouch, and are kept in a comfortable position. In the entire week of testing this chair, my body seemed less irked when I would stand up to stretch.

My only gripe during testing was that I didn’t spring for the locked wheels. When I would stand up, my X4 would try to go along with me for the ride. More than once I had to stop it from ramming into the other office furniture in my workspace.

X-Chair offers a plethora of wheel options, and instead of going with the complimentary wheels, I opted for the clear blade wheels. They’re smooth and nearly silent on my hardwood oak floors. However, it’s better to be safe than sorry, and get the locking wheels if you want your office chair to stay in your office.

In the entire week of testing this chair, my body seemed less irked when I would stand up to stretch.

One of the largest features of this chair is “SciFloat Infinite Recline”, allowing you to recline and keep working throughout the day. It’s an easy way to adjust your back if you’re stuck at the desk all day. In my testing, it was nice to have this feature since I could unlock the back of the chair and relax when my back ached. At first, I preferred my chair to be locked into place. By the end of the week, I was leaving the lock off and leaning back.

Price: It’ll cost you

With all of the extra features, it came as no surprise to me that the X4 chair runs from around $1,249 on up. I personally gaped at that price tag.

Rather than view it as a major hit to your savings account, it’s better to view it as an investment in your comfort.

But, with work from home becoming more common, it makes sense to build up a space that will truly work for you. Rather than view it as a major hit to your savings account, it’s better to view it as an investment in your comfort.

The X4 chair is the latest model in a series of executive office chairs by X-Chair. The other models of this chair, the X1, X2, and X3 are only differentiated by the fabric used in them, and whether or not they use mesh.

However, the X4 isn’t the sole desk chair that X-Chair offers. There’s some brand differentiation, but the company also has the Mavix M9 Gaming Chair, which is their chair geared toward gamers and streamers. To be frank, these chairs are extremely similar. They both offer similar adjustability, from the backrests to the headrests. However, it’s the details that set them apart. For example, the X4 chair comes with a plethora of wheel options, from the complimentary wheels to the blade wheels. The Mavix M9 chair comes only with one set of wheels that have a locking feature already built into them, so in terms of customization, the Mavix M9 doesn’t have so many options.

That said, the Mavix M9 is must cheaper, starting at around $999 for one of these chairs that offers a similar Dynamic Variable Lumbar support for long hours in front of a computer. However, the lower cost also means you get standard plush foam seats rather than more premium leather unless you decide to upgrade.

Realistically, you can’t go wrong with either chair. If you prefer slightly more adjustability options, or even a fancier finish, then the X4 Chair is the best option for your needs. If you’re comfortable with mesh seating and don’t need all the bells and whistles, then the Mavix M9 chair would be the better option for you.

A great office chair for a premium price.

Sometimes, a large splurge is worthwhile. When it comes to the X4 Executive Chair, the adjustability combined with the SciFloat technology makes it a great, comfortable, and stylish chair for any office.

X-Chair X2 K-Sport Mgmt Chair review

A premium office chair that can even be equipped with heating, cooling and massage modules.

It features a mesh back as well as a mesh seat which makes it easy to clean and there are plenty of upgrades available for those looking to spend a bit more to make the X2 their own. Being a premium office chair, the X2 is an investment that makes the most sense for users who spend countless hours at their desk each day.

Two minute review

The best office chair - the one that's right for you - can make all the difference especially if you find yourself seated at your desk all day when working from home. While you can certainly get by with a budget office chair, sooner or later you’ll either want or even need to upgrade to a premium one especially if you suffer from back problems. The X2 K Sport Mgmt Chair from X-Chair is a premium option worth considering if you find that mid-range office chairs just don’t cut it anymore and you're hesitant about dropping loads of money on a chair from Herman Miller. Alongside numerous customization options like the ability to add a headrest or rubberized wheels, you can also equip the X2 with a massager and heating pad for not that much more. Still though, the X2 and the rest of X-Chair’s office chair lineup come at a premium price that could be a turnoff for those on a tight budget. If you have the funds and want a well-built office chair – or even the best gaming chair without the bucket seat look – you can use for years to come, the X2 should certainly be on your shortlist.

X-Chair X2: Pricing and availability

The base model of the X-Chair X2 K-Sport Mgmt Chair is available for $849.99 at the time of writing. However, there are a number of add-ons that can help make the chair more comfortable including a headrest ($90) and an extended width seat ($50).

Although the base model of the X-Chair X2 ships with standard 2.5” wheels, you can also opt for the company’s X-Wheels that feature ball bearings and resemble a rollerblade wheel which are available in three different versions: clear blade wheels ($54), black blade wheels ($58) and clear locking wheels ($78). This is also the case with the X2’s armrests and those looking for even more adjustability can upgrade to X-Chair’s new FS 360 Armrests ($174) which can be rotated a full 360 degrees.

If you find yourself spending a great deal of time in your office chair each day, it also might be worth considering the upgrade to X-Chair’s X-HMT or ELEMAX variants of the X2. While X-HMT adds heat and massage for an additional $100, ELEMAX adds cooling along with heat and massage for $130. Heating, cooling and massage are all powered by a battery which you can charge over USB or with the included wall charger. It’s worth noting that you can also upgrade your existing X-Chair with either X-HMT or ELEMAX if you change your mind later.

As a premium office chair like the X2 is a serious investment, X-Chair provides a 5 year warranty on all moving parts and materials as well as a 15 year warranty on all the non-moving metal components of its chairs.

X-Chair X2: Design and build quality

The X2 immediately sets itself apart from other office chairs thanks to its unique design and high-quality components. The chair’s frame is in the shape of an X (hence the name) and while the part of it attached to the backrest is made from plastic, the base that attaches to the seat is made from polished aluminum.

While other office chairs we’ve reviewed in the past like the Vari Task Chair and the Branch Ergonomic Chair feature mesh backrests, X-Chair takes things a step further with the X2. Both the chair’s headrest and even its seat are made from mesh. X-Chair’s K-Sport Advanced Performance Material features a tighter weave that makes it softer, more adaptive and very comfortable. An office chair made entirely from mesh is also much easier to clean and you can even use an air blower to get all the hard to reach places.

The X2’s stock armrests are four dimensional and you can easily adjust their height, depth, width and angle throughout your work day.

If you want even more adjustability though, you can also upgrade your chair with X-Chair’s FS 360 Armrests which can freely move a full 360 degrees.

The base model of the X2 comes equipped with black 2.5” casters that have a silver strip down the middle to match its wheelbase. However, we opted to use the clear blade wheels that have ball bearings at their center and rubberized wheels to more easily roll about on our hardwood floors. While the stock casters are more than capable, the company’s X-Wheels add to the X2’s premium feel.

X-Chair X2: Setup and assembly

The X2 K-Sport Mgmt Chair sent to TechRadar Pro for review arrived in a single large box that was heavily padded to protect all of the pieces inside.

Once unpacked, we were left with the chair’s backrest, seat, headrest, wheelbase, gas cylinder, armrests, casters and all of the bolts and tools needed to put it together. We appreciated the fact that all of the hardware was clearly labeled and one of the included Allen wrenches came with a handle.

Assembling the X2 begins with slotting the casters into the wheelbase. From here, you need to flip over the wheelbase and insert the gas cylinder into its center.

After this is done, you then need to place the X2’s seat onto the gas cylinder and sit on the chair to make sure the seat and the cylinder are interlocked. The armrests are then secured to either side of the chair using the two included bolts.

If you chose to add a headrest to your X2, you must first remove the plastic covering from the top of the backrest before bolting it on. If you didn’t though, you’ll need to insert the plastic protective covering on the top of the backrest instead.

With the headrest attached, the backrest slots into the back of the chair’s seat and is secured using four bolts.

Putting together the X2 was a fairly easy process and this is especially true if you’ve assembled an office chair before. For those that haven’t though, X-Chair has detailed instructional videos on its site that will walk you through the process.

X-Chair X2: In use and comfortability

After assembling the X2, we then proceeded to adjust the chair so that the seat height, depth, lumbar support and headrest were in an ergonomic position so that we could work comfortably. Just like with assembly, X-Chair has another video on its site with adjustment instructions for the X2 as there are a number of different paddles on both its left and right side.

The X2’s height is adjusted using the front paddle on the left side of the chair while its seat depth is adjusted using the rear paddle.

The X2 also allows you to recline and this is done using the paddle at the top of the left side of the chair. Flipping the paddle up allows you to recline while the knob under it lets you increase or decrease the resistance of the X2’s recline.

The X2’s Dynamic Variable Lumbar Support has four height settings and each time you reach while lifting up the chair’s lumbar support, you’ll hear an audible click. It’s worth noting that you can adjust the lumbar support while standing in addition to doing so while seated.

The X-Chair’s 4D arm rests allow you to adjust their height, depth, angle and spacing. Adjusting their height is done using the black button on the outside of each armrest while the positioning of the arm pads is done by simply pushing them forwards or backwards.

The X2’s headrest is also adjustable and you can raise or lower it by pulling it up or pushing it down while standing. You can adjust its tilt as well by pulling it toward you or pushing it away from you.

Seat width: 19.5-20.5”

Seat height: 17.4-21”

Seat depth: 19-21”

Chair height: 37.5-40” (without headrest) 45-49” (with headrest)

Recline angle: 40 degrees

During our time spent with the X2, we found it to be a very comfortable office chair that was easy to use for long periods of time. The X-Wheels made it easy to roll the chair around the room and the mesh back and seat allowed for plenty of airflow to keep us cool while working. Still though, you may need to watch X-Chair’s adjustment video to get the chair set up to your liking.

While we didn’t get to test the X-HMT heating and massage module or the ELEMAX one that also adds cooling to the mix, we were impressed by their design and the fact that you can add them to the X2 after purchasing the chair. As these modules are hot-swappable, they’re also easy to replace if something goes wrong without having to buy a whole new chair.

Should I buy the X-Chair X2?

You want a premium office chair that’s also customizable. While there are plenty of premium office chairs available from Herman Miller and other high-end brands, they lack the customization that X-Chair offers and few include a headrest or even the option to add one at checkout.

You spend a lot of time sitting at your desk. Whether you have a bad back or just spend hours each day at your desk, X-Chair’s heat, cooling and massage options make sitting for long periods more tolerable. Even with the base model of the X2, the company’s Dynamic Variable Lumbar support adjusts itself each time you move your body so that you don’t have to readjust the chair.

Don’t buy it if:

You’re looking to upgrade your entire home office setup. The X-Chair X2 is an investment to say the least and while it may be a tempting purchase for those that just started working from home, your budget will go a lot further with another chair. This way you can upgrade your office desk or even opt for a standing desk and still have money left for a laptop stand , monitor or other work from home essentials.

Also consider

If you like the look and design of the X2 but don’t want to break the bank, X-Chair’s X-Basic DVL Task Chair starts at $499 and has the same lumbar support system and mesh back. It can also be outfitted with an optional headrest and the company’s X-Wheels. However, while the lumbar support and backrest are made of mesh, the seat cushion is made of foam and the armrests aren’t nearly as adjustable.

The FlexiSpot BS10 is another premium office chair worth considering under $500. Unlike the X2’s modern design, the BS10 features a retro-inspired look complete with a walnut panel on the backrest. It’s not nearly as customizable but it does have a mesh backrest to keep you cool while working.

Review: X-Chair X3 – the $1,000 office chair I never knew I needed

It’s X-pensive and X-cellent.

July 21, 2021

[letsreview postid=”134938″]

We write lots of content about working from home here at KnowTechie , partly because we’re a distributed team that all works from their own home offices. Whether we’re talking about accessories to make your work area more productive or staving off existential dread with more pixels , we’re always striving to offer you choices in how you outfit your working space.

Sure, we love the high-tech electronic gizmos, but the real star of your home office should be your chair. It should be supportive, ergonomic, and have some level of adjustability to fit your body’s unique needs.

We’re looking at an office chair on the premium end of the spectrum today, the X 3 ATR Mgmt Chair from X-Chair. That’s the tier that usually graces the C-suite, so if it’s good enough for them, it’s good enough for your home office, right?

What’s the X-Chair X 3 all about?

A chair’s a chair, right? Except when it’s wrong. The wrong chair will give you a lifetime of backache, so it’s always a bad investment. For a chair you’re using all day, every day, you need something a bit better than the standard chair.

Things like lumbar support are essential, and X-Chair’s DVL system is spring-tensioned to give just the amount of support you need. No more futzing with handles to tension or adjust, just sit back and let it do all the work.

heat and massage lumbar section of the chair

Oh, and in case you were wondering why the lumbar section has buttons on it? That’s an optional $159 insert called ELEMAX , that has two intensities of vibrating massage, with pulse and variable vibration; one-touch heating to 55c that automatically turns off 15 minutes after use, and two fans to blow cooling air into your back, perfect for those hot days. Oh, and it’s rechargeable, from USB (cable and wall wart included).

It’s got a 40-degree recline, which cleverly keeps you in balance all the way back. The dampening can be adjusted to your weight/liking, and keeping it unlocked is a great way to keep moving during the day even if you can’t stand up.

That’s not all that’s adjustable though. The headrest pivots and adjusts in height, the backrest can be adjusted a few inches, the armrests move in any direction you’d expect an armrest to do, and the seat depth can also be adjusted a couple of inches. Unless you’re wildly tall, this is the chair for you. Oh, and if you’re on the shorter side, X-Chair has a smaller range, with very similar features.

Even the fabric helps you stay energized and comfortable all day, with springy, woven nylon that’s almost hammock-like in how well it supports your weight. I’m pretty hard on my furniture, but the fabric on this is still as pristine as the day it arrived.

So, is the X-Chair X-ceptional?

I’ve been using the X-Chair for a couple of months now, long enough for any issues in manufacturing or materials to show themselves. Apart from getting my tshirt stuck in the gap formed by the floating lumbar support, the X 3 has been x-cepetional.

Gone are the restless legs that I used to get every night when I curled up into bed. Gone too, are the lower backaches that have plagued me since my early 20’s. Now I’m not saying this chair is everything to do with that, but it’s gone a huge way to keeping me sitting in a posture-friendly position, which has given my back and muscles the time to sort themselves out.

I’ve always had issues with office chairs not fitting properly. Either the seat isn’t supportive enough, or too firm, or is too long or too short for my short-ish thighs relative to my height. All of the adjustability of the X 3 has allowed me to adjust it to just how I need it, and I can change minor details throughout the day.

The other thing is, I really have to spend a beat to talk about the SciFloat reclining tech. It’s phenomenal. Really. It’s the first reclining system that I’ve been able to lean back on, with complete confidence in it not putting me on my butt on the floor. I’m not a light man, in the upper 200’s, and it kept me balanced even at the full forty-degree recline. What a champ.

Should you buy the X-Chair X 3 ?

If you’re an office worker, whether that office is company-owned or it’s in your home, X-Chair should be on your list for consideration. The construction is what you’d expect from this price bracket, with beautifully polished metal, hard-wearing fabrics, and just exudes class.

It is expensive, clocking in at over $1,000, but then you do get what you pay for, and you should be comfortably able to use the X-Chair for years of keyboard-mashing.

You only have one back, take care of it. Oh, one last thing, if you’re on the taller side, skip the headrest – it’ll only reach your shoulders.

X4 Executive leather chair review

X-chair's x4 offers oodles of class and comfort, but not all buying options are essential..

Our Verdict

X-Chair offers four iterations of ultimately the same chair, with an abundance of options, including different materials such as memory foam. In its fourth iteration, the X4 Executive leather chair provides deep comfort and exceptional support and is very adjustable. We're not 100% convinced by all the options, such as the massage and heating features, but for an ergonomic chair, this is close to perfect.

Fantastic quality build
Comfortable
Highly adjustable
Too many buying options
Not sold on the massage/heater

1. Assembly
2. Comfort and build
3. Design and features
4. Should you buy?

Update (December 2023): After another year of using X-Chair's X4 chair as one of my primary work seats, I've decided to up the score from its initial 4.5 stars out of 5, to a full 5. In short, it's really hard to fault this beautifully built chair, and it remains supremely comfortable and supportive 16-plus months after first using it. Back to the original review...

X-Chair is somewhat the new kid on the block. Whereas the likes of Herman Miller and HÅG have been releasing iconic office chairs for decades, X-Chair is relatively new on the scene. But they are no pretenders, and instead of trying to compete with the output of the aforementioned chair producers, X-Chair has played it clever. The US company has put all its focus into making the very best single ergonomic, stylish chair that they can. There's one major design – the X-Chair – and then there are iterations of that main design (X1 to X4, plus the X-Tech for the US market), which range from $799/£685 to $1,299.99/£1,063.

But has this business model paid off? Well, we've spent nearly every day of the last six weeks using the X4 Executive leather chair, with heating and massage features, as both office and gaming chair, and we've got some pretty strong thoughts. If you want the short version – this is a seriously impressive office chair, and one of the most comfortable that this writer has ever used. But there are some issues, which I'll cover below.

If you want to delve deeper into our choice of the best office chairs , or specifically the best office chair for back pain , we've got guides for you to check out. And if you're feeling like really giving your back and posture a helping hand, we've also covered the best standing desks out there too.

The packaged screws and tools for the chair.

X-Chair makes a good impression from the off. I've put together many chairs in my time, and though it could never be described as hard work, some are more fiddly than others. The X-Chair wins the prize of simplifying the process of assembly, sending you minimal chair components to put together, and clearly separating the tools you'll need to do so.

It took around ten minutes to put the chair together, and another 10 minutes taking the plastic and cardboard off the component parts. As mentioned, the laminated tools and screws mean there's no way you'll be sat there thinking what screw goes where, and the total seven parts of the chair is an easy number to manage.

The chair is seriously heavy though, and though that's a positive when it comes to comfort (see below), if you're just not looking for a very heavy chair, you might want to look elsewhere (perhaps the X1, 2 and 3 are lighter than the X4, but as I haven't tested them, I cannot say for sure).

Comfort and build

The back shot of the lower part of the X4 chair.

Comfort and build will probably be the main points of interest to you, and it happens to be the area that the X-Chair X4 excels. In both build and comfort, the X4 Executive leather chair is top drawer. We tested the black X4 chair with memory foam seating and headrest, and genuinely enjoyed every second sitting down on it. As mentioned above, the X4 chair has a heft to it, but that solidity is perfectly complimented by a delightfully soft, smooth leather finish. And with the mix of solid plastic and chrome metal framework offering strength behind the luxury finish – plus the weight of the chair – the end result is a chair that feels solid yet soft.

There are several adjustments on offer (fully explored below), but I can say here that it took seconds to figure out an ideal set up for my initial working day, and then when it came to a quick gaming session, or just relaxed TV viewing, the many tweaks and alterations that I could make were all useful and were easy to achieve.

Design and features

The X-Chair comes with several feature options. The actual chair will come with a 'DVL', which is basically what X-Chair call their lumbar support. This, as with the rest of the chair, feels solid yet has the appropriate give to make it feel comfortable yet supportive. The optional headrest is comfortable, but as it's limited to a small rotational movement, I would have liked to see more options there. There is no up or down movement options, for example, though you can move the whole back seat to adjust the DVL and headrest together. That might not work for all body types.

The armrests that come with the X4 are perfectly comfortable, and have several movement options (up-down, forward-backwards, sideways). I also received the FS 360 armrests, which you can get for an additional $174, but have been unable to remove the standard armrest to try them out, so will not be reviewing them here (I'll update when I can).

Then there's the option for an extended wide seat (22-inches instead of 20.5), which also allows you to select the memory foam option too. I can report that the memory foam seating is fantastic, but in a way that you don't notice it at first. It's after hours of sitting on it that you notice that you're still really comfortable – something that is not always the case with office chairs.

Then there's the option for massage and heating features. I've got to admit that although I enjoyed the novelty of the massage feature initially, giving me a nice vibration on my lower back, it's not something that I went back to use all that much. It's easy to install behind the lumbar support, easy to charge, and there are three button options to keep things nice and simple to use – although it wasn't easy to press the right buttons while still sat in the chair.

A side shot of the X4, with its adjustable pulleys.

As mentioned, you can move the back seat of the chair, including the lumbar support and headrest, up and down, so there's a couple of inches' range as to where the massage will focus, but it's still a narrow area. Ultimately, I wouldn't chose the massage or heating options on this chair, but that is a matter of taste. It may be up your street, but for an added $130, I'm not convinced (but X-Chair sell the $9,000 X77 massage chair, if you really want a thorough massage chair!)

Should you buy?

A detail shot of the upper part of the X4 chair.

I really like the X-Chair X4. It's built from quality materials, is as comfortable as I could want, and has enough adjustability and features to provide comfort for the largest range of users. The novelty massage and heating options aside, I can't really fault the X4 Executive leather chair, as the company X-Chair has clearly worked hard on getting the essential elements of an ergonomic chair just so. Perhaps there could be more adjustability on the headrest, but I found what was on offer was sufficient for me. The main takeaway is that the X4 provides that great feeling of solidity and comfort like few chairs I've used. You feel pampered with the comfort, and like you're in safe hands when sitting in it due to the build, and that's as much as I want from an ergonomic chair.

About XChair

When does a chair become a throne? When does a prince become a king? XChair provides an answer to those questions with their catalog of office chairs. Their chairs go above and beyond what typical office furniture can do.

Their chairs optimize blood flow, productivity, relaxation, and mobility . Some of them include heating and cooling pads as well as massage functionality. It’s no surprise that they’ve earned over 2k Instagram followers with features like those.

This XChair review will teach you everything you need to know about the company, their technology, their chairs, and what their customers think so that you can decide whether they’re right for you.

Overview of XChair

XChair is looking to cross the barriers between comfort, style, and productivity . They combine these aspects into a triforce of quality that hopes to surpass what other office chair distributors produce.

The company is sympathetic to workers that spend 40 hours of their week clacking away on keyboards. They realize how destructive this lifestyle can be to people’s health on a physical and mental level.

XChair wants to trounce the idea that office chairs have to make some sort of compromise between looking cool and feeling great. That’s why their products use fashionable designs and fabrics that are adorned around supportive bases .

They’re particularly proud of their dynamic variable lumbar support system . It’s a feature they build into most of their chairs that eliminates the need for adjustable backs. The chair’s very shape molds and supports each customer.

We’ll now transition to the next portion of this XChair review wherein we’ll mention some of the noblest aspects of this company.

Inventive line of office chairs and desks
Free shipping for orders within the United States
15-year warranty on products
Financing payment plans available through Affirm
Certain chairs have a variety of customization options

We won’t cover every available, but here are the broad categories of items that the company produces. They make office chairs, massage chairs, desks, stools, monitor stands, and accessories .

This portion of our XChair review will highlight the proverbial legs that hold up the company’s metaphorical seat. These are some of the best-selling items you’ll find on the XChair website.

XChair Special Edition Holiday Chair Review

This chair might not look particularly seasonal nor celebratory. However, it is once you consider that every day you sit in the XChair Special Edition Holiday Chair is a holiday itself.

This chair comes with a few tricks up its sleeves. And by a few, we mean more than we could include in this XChair review. It has a curved m-foam seat that can keep your keister cool even in the middle of summer.

The seat is made of Brisa soft-touch fabric that can both support and comfort your back. It can help maintain your posture in a way that’ll make you want to sit up straight. Its wheels can slide silently along the ground with the smoothness of a shaved head.

The XChair Special Edition Holiday Chair does a lot more too, including its ability to prop up your lumbar, recline to your comfort levels, and meet your body’s dimensions with its adjustable back and armrests.

The chair normally costs $2,115 , but it’s on sale right now for $1,915 .

XChair X-side Chair Review

Side chairs are often disparaged in the world of sliding office chairs, gaming chairs, and loveseats. However, the XChair X-side Chair seeks to demolish the idea that a side chair has to be relegated to a sidekick.

This chair establishes itself as the main character of whatever setting it finds itself in. It has the company’s patented dynamic variable lumbar support , meaning it can provide the comfort of a beefier office chair for a fraction of the size and price.

Additionally, the XChair X-side Chair is made out of a light mesh material and a frame constructed from a single aluminum model. That makes this chair easy to move around without compromising its supporting abilities.

If it’s caught your eye, you should purchase the XChair X-side Chair soon since it’s on sale for $450 instead of its regular $550 price.

XChair Elemax Cooling Heat and Massage Unit Review

This item must’ve stepped out of our XChair review writers’ dreams. We often fantasize about getting a massage while we type away in our office chairs. It seems like the XChair Elemax Cooling Heat and Massage Unit can do that and much more.

This product is an attachment you can clip onto any XChair seat. It can either heat up or cool down . This feature attacks the nasty lower back sweats that any office worker knows and loathes.

But let’s talk about the massage function because we know that’s what really perked your ears. The XChair Elemax Cooling Heat and Massage Unit has four different massage programs that provide either a constant or a variable schedule massage.

It massages at two different levels of force because the company knows some people are more sensitive than others.

Strap the XChair Elemax Cooling Heat and Massage Unit onto your office chair and enter paradise for $160 . That’s a discount on its average price of $180 .

XChair X-TS Monitor Arm Review

When we think about posture and ergonomics we often forget about one of the most important factors, our sightline. Where our eyes go, the body follows. Therefore, you’d ideally want to place your monitor at a comfortable eye level .

That’s exactly what the XChair X-TS Monitor Arm can do for you. You can install it onto most desks within ten minutes. From there, you can position the arm at whatever angle best suits your eyes.

It quickly screws into the back of most monitors and you won’t need professional help to install it. That’s because it only weighs 13 pounds, so it’s quite easy to maneuver. It can support monitors that weigh up to 22 pounds .

The XChair X-TS Monitor Arm is available for either a single monitor ( $150 ) or for two ( $250 ).

XChair X-Table Mobile Height-Adjustable Desk Review

Sitting at a desk almost seems antiquated. Recent developments in standing desk technologies and research into sitting versus standing productivity place the “best way to work” crown squarely on the head of the standing desk.

The XChair X-Table Mobile Height-Adjustable Desk is a brilliant device to improve your posture and productivity. It can serve people of any height because it stands as low as 28” or as tall as 41” .

This standing desk is different from other desks because it has a wheeled base. It’s more mobile than most desks, but you can lock the wheels into place if you want to stay put.

The item weighs nearly 30 pounds while providing a 27.6” by 19” work surface. It has a dedicated iPad holder to declutter your work area.

The XChair X-Table Mobile Height-Adjustable Desk is available in black, white, or silver for $330 . Normally, it costs $380 , but it’s currently on sale.

XChair X-77 Massage Chair Review

The final item we’ll cover in this XChair review is one that’s more suited for the living room than the office.

With that being said, who made it illegal to work from the living room? The XChair X-77 Massage Chair proves that you can work and lounge at the same time.

You might have to be particularly ambitious to work on it though because this product oozes comfort. It has a 4D massage system that kneads, rubs, taps, rolls, and pinches your muscles to help you relax.

The XChair X-77 Massage Chair gives your feet and legs some attention too with its foot rollers and calf massagers.

It provides a different massage every time you sit down so that every day’s stresses are remedied in their own unique way. The chair analyzes your back and measurements every time you sit down so that every massage hits you in just the right spots.

Whether you get the XChair X-77 Massage Chair in soft Brisa or the limber Synflex fabric, you’re in for the treatment of the lifetime. This chair comes in three available colorways:

Brown and black
Black and red

The XChair X-77 Massage Chair costs $7,500 if you purchase the Synflex option or $7,778 if you buy the Brisa soft-touch material.

Who Is XChair For?

XChair is for people who are tired of sacrificing comfort for style, style for productivity, or productivity for comfort. Their versatile chairs and work accessories aim to meet all three of those needs.

How Does the XChair Work?

The XChair line uses a few technologies to deliver an unparalleled level of comfort and style:

The dynamic variable lumbar system , support that automatically adjusts to the contours of the user’s body
The SciFloat infinite recline allows people to keep moving in their chairs to improve circulation throughout the workday
A flex mesh material that elevates workers so they don’t restrict their blood flow by sitting on vital pressure points

XChair Reviews: What Do Customers Think?

Much like how CM Punk deems himself the voice of the voiceless, our staff at Honest Brand Reviews like to see ourselves as being generous with the spotlight. That’s why we’ll spend this section covering some XChair reviews that real people have written.

Customers were vocal about their love of XChair’s various products on the company’s website. Many chairs charmed customers with how easily they could be assembled . This is a huge advantage because office furniture can be notoriously difficult to put together.

The chairs were also praised for their sublime comfort levels . Plenty of folks commented that they felt comfy resting in their XChair for hours on end. Here’s what one customer said about their XChair:

“ My husband bought this chair for me for Christmas. I liked it so much (and he did, too) that I bought one for him for his birthday. The massage, heat, and cool options work well , and the chair glides nicely across our tile. We’re both quite happy with our X-Chairs! ”

Another buyer wrote that his XChair was fantastic, complimenting many of its features:

“ This chair is awesome very well constructed. The attention to detail is bar none. This is the first time I have ever owned a chair like this and it’s worth every penny for sure . I would recommend this chair to someone with some lower back pain or just for pure comfort. Great job guys oh yeah put it together in 5 min. ”

This XChair review writer actually addressed some common customer complaints in their testimonial. On the whole, they were pleased with their purchase but did note some things to be aware of.

“ My son asked for an X-Chair for Christmas since he works from home full time… I was skeptical to say the least. As I continued to research the chair I decided not only to buy one for my son, but to purchase one for myself… The X3 with Elemax has been a dream. The chair’s features and the footrest have eased my back pain during long days… Assembly was easy, adjustment was well explained (used the videos)…Worth every dollar!!! ”

A few other customers on sites like Reddit and Amazon were less receptive towards XChair . They felt that the brand’s quality did not justify the price tag. They were also disappointed that some of the chairs did not lock into place when they reclined, leaving them feeling suspended in midair.

Those criticisms are a matter of personal preference, and since we haven’t sat in the chairs ourselves, it’s something you’ll have to try out for yourself.

What we can say is that since there are so many more customers voicing their love for the brand, we have to go with the numbers on this one.

Is XChair Legit?

There were few, if any, red flags that we found during our research for this XChair review. We just mentioned some points that buyers didn’t like about the chairs, but none of these claimed that the company was fraudulent in any way whatsoever. It’s all about quality chairs here.

Is XChair Worth It?

We believe that XChair ’s products are worth a shot based on the resounding praise they’ve received online.

Although they are quite expensive and some of their features may seem better on paper than in practice (according to a minority of customers), a good chair is a worthy investment. And in this case, X(chair) marks the spot.

XChair Promotions & Discounts

XChair wants to give a few lucky customers a free XChair Elemax Cooling Heat and Massage Unit . it couldn’t be easier to become eligible to receive it if you want a chair that can do it all. You only need to sign up for the giveaway with your full name and email address.

We can assume that by entering the contest you’ll also be signing up for their email newsletter, but if that’s all it takes to potentially win an XChair Elemax Cooling Heat and Massage Unit then we think that’s a small price to pay.

There have been plenty of discounts mentioned throughout this XChair review that we’re sure you’re caught wind of. The majority of the products in this article are currently available for much less than their retail price.

XChair also makes it easy to find out which products are currently on sale. They have a clearance category on their website that displays which items are on sale and their reduced price XChair X-Conditions items.

Finally, you can receive a $50 coupon code to XChair if you refer a friend and they purchase a product from the company. How’s that for camaraderie.

Where to Buy XChair

Here are some of the places where you can buy XChair’s products:

On the brand’s website, xchair.com
Big box stores like Canadian Tire
Online marketplaces like Amazon
At locations near you through the company’s store locator feature

Who owns XChair?

Anthony Mazlish is the founder and current CEO of XChair , but the company itself is a property of Future Seating.

Where is the XChair made?

Although they’re an American company, all our research leads us to believe that XChair’s products are made in China.

Does XChair ship to Canada?

We can assume that XChair ships to Canada because they state that shipping rates vary for orders outside of the United States.

Does XChair ship internationally?

Much like how we inferred that the company ships to Canada, we’re lead to believe that they also ship internationally based on their website’s diction.

What is XChair’s Shipping Policy?

XChair provides free ground shipping on all US orders within the lower 48 states. It takes 24 to 48 hours for the company to ship their chairs, and deliveries can take anywhere from 1 to 7 business days to reach their destination.

What is XChair’s Return Policy?

You’ll have up to 30 days to return any XChair product for a full refund minus a $149 restocking fee for US orders and a $200 restocking fee for Canadian, Alaskan, and Hawaiian orders.

All international orders are not eligible to be returned.

X-Chair X3 ATR Mgmt Chair review: A do-it-all, comfortable desk chair

If you buy through a BGR link, we may earn an affiliate commission, helping support our expert product labs.

We’re spending more and more time in our office chairs. Even after the pandemic, it’s expected that more and more companies will at least adopt a hybrid work model, meaning that the desk chair that you have at home is becoming increasingly important. So what chair do you get? Do you go for a gamer chair, complete with RGB lighting? What about an Amazon Basics mesh chair? X-Chair thinks it has the chair for you — the X-Chair X3 offers a ton of adjustability and a comfortable seat.

But does the X-Chair X3 live up to all that hype? At $950, the X3 isn’t exactly cheap — and that price puts it in direct competition with much better-known chairs. I’ve been testing the X-Chair X3 for a while now to see if it’s really worth the cash.

X-Chair X3 assembly

It’s pretty intuitive, and the chair comes with everything you need — including the tools to attach the screws. That’s to say, you won’t need a screwdriver handy to put everything together.

If you end up purchasing the Elemax pad, it’s relatively easy to install. It kind of stuffs in behind the lumbar support, and you may have to force it a little.

X-Chair X3 design

That’s not to say the chair is completely devoid of customization. The chair is available in Black, Gray, Blue, and Glacier, and while none of those options are super colorful, they all seem to look quite good. We’re reviewing the black model, which is my preference. I’m a little boring like that.

Generally, the X-Chair X3 felt well-built and strong. The arms were comfortable enough, though perhaps a mesh covering there would have been nice. They have a little padding in them to help make them a little more comfortable, which is nice.

X-Chair X3 adjustability

The X-Chair X3 offers a ton of adjustment options, and that’s a good thing. X-Chair could have done a better job at explaining how to adjust the chair though. For example, it took me a few weeks to discover that the back cover is where you set the height. The manual is pretty weak in that respect, so expect to have to discover the chair on your own.

The back of the chair can be raised or lowered to your preference, and set in place with a screw behind the cover on the back of the chair. It’s very much a set-it-and-forget-it system, which may or may not work depending on whether or not the chair is solely for your use.

Tech. Entertainment. Science. Your inbox.

By signing up, I agree to the Terms of Use and have reviewed the Privacy Notice.

X-Chair X3 comfort

Partly because of the adjustments that you can make with it, and partly because of simply the way it’s built, the X-Chair X3 is excellently comfortable.

One of the big selling points here is the Dynamic Variable Lumbar support, which is basically a tension mechanism at the point of your lower back. It helps promote good posture, and may be a selling point for those who experience back pain. I don’t (yet), but it did feel as though my back was supported throughout testing this chair.

X-Chair Elemax

The X-Chair X3 comes with another option — the option to add the Elemax temperature and massage pad. Elemax is essentially a pad that fits in the lumbar support. You charge it with an included power supply, however, I wish that it charged through USB-C instead of the propriety charging port.

The heating and massage features definitely feel nice, but they’re not necessarily game-changers. The massage feature isn’t quite as intense as some might like, and the fact that it only works on your lower back means that it won’t appeal to those who want a full-back experience.

Conclusions

The X-Chair X3 has a ton going for it. The chair may be a little pricey, but it’s also very comfortable and boasts a huge range of adjustability features. Elemax isn’t a must-have, but it’s still cool, and may be a worthwhile add-on for many users.

The competition

Should i buy the x-chair x3.

Yes. If you want a chair that offers plenty of adjustments and prioritizes an ergonomic fit, the X-Chair X3 is a great option.

X-Chair X2 K-Sport Mgmt Chair review – get comfortable

REVIEW – One of the results of the 2020 Covid-19 pandemic is that many people have gone from working at an office to working from home—me included. I haven’t been to my office since March. Thanks to technology, I’ve been able to perform my job from my backyard studio building. If fact, working from home has been so successful within our division, we are debating returning to the office once the pandemic is over and continue working from home. All of this has led to a redefinition of the term “home office” for me. Since I now sit for 8-10 hours per day, my back began to rebel. It was time to re-think my office chair and that led me to the X-Chair.

What is it?

The X-Chair is an office chair that comes with 10 ergonomic adjustments to better fit any body. Options include a headrest, upgraded wheel casters (locking or non-locking), and choice of materials—mesh, memory foam, and leather.

Chair width: 25.5-26.5 in.
Chair Height (without headrest): 37.5-40 in.
Chair Height (with headrest): 45-49 in.
Seat height: 17.5-21 in.

Note: Specs may differ depending on the chair.

Design and features

The X-Chair comes in many “flavors” that can be customized to suit just about any preference or body shape—something that can induce humility. Let me explain. When I was offered the X-Chair to review, I had a choice of any chair they made. After studying the many options, I decided on their X2 K-Sport Mgmt chair because of its softer and breathable K-Sport mesh. In my poorly insulated and humid Central Florida backyard studio building, a breathable mesh helps prevent back sweats from occurring.

I chose the red option since I thought it would photograph better. However—when I provided my asked for height and weight, X-Chair “suggested” I opt for the wider seat which unfortunately only came in black. So I swallowed my pride and ordered the black version to support my wide posterior. To add insult to injury, when the chair arrived, Wide Seat was checked off on the shipping box. It took my lovely wife 10 minutes to stop laughing. I may need to lay off the candy and start walking.

There are 4 versions in the X-Chair range I’m reviewing. The least expensive X1 Flex Mesh Task Chair has fewer adjustments, but many features. The X2 K-Sport Mgmt Chair (this review) is a step-up from the X1 with upgraded mesh and more adjustments. X3 ATR Mgmt Chair comes with molded foam seats and and “Advanced Tensile Recovery” fabric (ATR) for added support and comfort. Finally, the top-of-the-line X4 Leather Exec Chair comes in either leather or Brisa—a polymer fabric softer and more breathable than leather according to X-Chair. Note that X-Chair makes other X-styled chairs not reviewed here.

The X2 K-Sport Mgmt Chair arrived in a large, heavy (appx. 60 lbs.) box containing the X-Chair in pieces. Complete instructions were supplied and it was fairly simple to assemble. X-Chair supplied the parts and tools required—all good quality. Because I stopped to photograph the assembly steps, it took about 30 minutes. Your time to assemble should be about 15 minutes. A couple of things to watch for during assembly are making sure you read the correct instructions (they can differ depending on which chair you purchased) and remembering to raise and lower the seat to “set” the hydraulics.

Since there are 10 adjustments to the X-Chair, let’s start at the top with the optional headrest and work down to the wheels.

The X-Chair headrest is an extra-cost option. Its contoured mesh-covered frame is designed to match the curve of the back of the neck. It has a 4 in. height adjustment range. It can be angled, much like a car seat headrest. While I appreciate the headrest, I’m not convinced it’s a necessity. I suggest first using the X-Chair without ordering the headrest to see if you really want or need it. It can be ordered separately later if desired.

The seatback has a height adjustment range of 2.5 in. with half-inch increments. This may not seem like much, but you can feel the difference with each half-inch adjustment. Attached to the bottom of the seatback is what X-Chair calls the Dynamic Variable Lumbar (DVL) Support. The DVL does not have or need any adjustment. It constantly adjusts forward and backward depending on how you move in the seat. How high up or down the DVL support fits into your back depends on the seatback height since they‘re attached. Adjusting the seat back and headrest into the right position can take a few tries to get just right. I recommend trying different settings for a few days and it should become clear what your most comfortable setting is.

How the X-Chair tilts back is adjustable in a couple of ways. There’s a lever that can lock and unlock the tilt mechanism. I originally had this locked—that’s how I’ve always done it with other office chairs—until I realized that tilt can be a good thing. On the right side of the chair under the seat, there’s a knob that can be turned to adjust the tension of the tilt—how easy the chair will tilt as you lean back. X-Chair calls this SciFloat Infinite Recline and they recommend that it be left unlocked. As I was adjusting the tension, I set it to the least resistance, which when leaning back, made me feel like I was going to fall backward out of the chair. Turning the knob clockwise (many, many times) slowly applied enough resistance so that leaning back felt more natural while providing a secure feeling. This is another X-Chair adjustment that will require many settings until you reach your desired comfort level.

The (wide) seat has just the right amount of “spring” when you sit down. It’s supportive, yet the stretchy mesh gives a bit so it doesn’t feel like you’re sitting on a bench. The same is true for the seatback. As you lean back, it gives just enough to provide support and comfort. I don’t find myself constantly squirming and repositioning myself to relieve soreness or to get comfortable.

X-Chair recommends that seat height be set so that your feet are flat on the floor and the knees are at a 90° angle. This adjustment felt strange to me because previously I’ve always had my office chair set higher. It’s taking some getting used to as I adjust (get it?) to X-Chair’s recommended seat height, but I have to admit: It feels more comfortable.

In addition to seat height, there’s seat depth, meaning that the X-Chair’s seat can slide forward and backward. This is an important (and often overlooked) setting as it can affect blood circulation in legs. If your leg goes to sleep while sitting, the seat depth should be changed. Both seat height and depth have adjustable levers below the seat.

The X-Chair’s firmly padded armrests are height adjustable (like almost any office chair). However, the arms can swivel out (or in), slide forward, backward and side-to-side. There’s little reason that the arms can’t be positioned to the right spot for the most comfort. Also, the arms can be easily re-positioned throughout the day if desired.

The 5-wheeled aluminum base of the X-Chair is heavy and solid-feeling. During assembly, the chair seat assembly slides down onto the base holding it firmly in place. There’s no wobbly feeling to the chair as I’ve had with cheaper chairs in the past.

Although standard casters are supplied, I opted for optional non-locking X-Wheel Blade casters (locking version is available). The X-wheels look like what you find on a skateboard or a good pair of roller-blades. The polyurethane wheels spin more freely and are nicer to hard floors and carpet than standard casters. My chair mat is glass (reviewed here ) and the wheels roll almost too easily. Even so, at $50, this upgrade is recommended. They also look really cool.

The X-Chair X2 K-Sport Mgmt chair is as comfortable (and less expensive) as the Herman Miller Aeron chair I used at an office where I previously worked.

What I like

Almost infinite adjustments
Extremely comfortable
Tough, breathable mesh fabric
Smooth optional casters

What I’d change

More expensive than many office chairs
The wide seat version only available in black

Final Thoughts

If I was only using my home office on nights and weekends for freelance work (as I’ve done for the last many years), I probably wouldn’t have bothered with a better chair. However, working from home for the last 5-6 months for 8-10 hours per day has seriously re-arranged my priorities in office furniture. The X2 K-Sport Mgmt chair fits perfectly into my “new normal” (I hate that term). It’s extremely comfortable and easily adjustable as I sit hour after hour glued to my computer. Now all I need to do is get off my wide seat and go walking from time to time.

Overview of the X Chair and X Chair Models

What sets the X-Chair apart from other office chairs are the multiple ergonomic features. The lumbar support system is patented and provides constant support to your lower back. You can also adjust the seat height and choose your seat width when you make your purchase.

Their sci-float infinite recline allows you to relax effortlessly without having to constantly adjust knobs. You can even choose your arm pads to rotate forwards and backward and even 350 degrees.

In addition to standard wheels you can choose from the X Blade wheels and add locking wheels for more stability. There are other models to choose from aside from the ones I cover in my video. Shorter people may prefer the X-Vision chair which is smaller and also less expensive but lacks some customization features that the other chairs have.

No matter what xchair you choose, all X-Chairs have excellent build quality and come with a limited 15 year warranty.

You have probably seen the commercials but if not, here’s a quick overview of the X-Chair and why everyone is so curious about this new office chair design that is so comfortable. The X-Chair is the most customizable office and gaming chair you can buy.

Ordering The X Chair

You can order the X-Chair online. Shipping is free and after I placed my order, my chair arrived in about a week in this box.

You get tracking so you’ll know exactly what day to expect your chair. You can also choose expert setup but I wouldn’t recommend it as it’s super easy to assemble and there are only 7 screws. Just know that the chair is heavy, which is an indicator of quality so you may need some help bringing it in your house.

Here’s a photo of the opened box. It looks a little overwhelming a first but keep in mind you really only need to assemble a few parts and it took me about 20 minutes from opening the box to having it fully installed and ready to use. I’m not the handiest person so if I can do it, you probably can too.

Although the packaging looks jumbled, the chair is packed safely and I didn’t find any dents or scratches after unboxing. All the parts are wrapped well.

The wheels fit easily into the frame and will lock into place after you sit on the seat of the chair.

The seat of the X-Chair is the heaviest piece.

How Much Does the X-Chair Cost?

Prices for the X-Chair vary depending on what model and features you choose. For this review, I purchased the X2 Executive Task Chair with the cooling, heating, and massage feature for $1,029. But you can go with their basic model which starts at $699 or go with the X-Tech Executive that can go above $2,0o0 with certain features. Compare that with an Amazon Basics Office Chair at $90. But trust me, I have sat in the Amazon Basics office chair for hours and days at a time. It was comfortable for the first 30 minutes then I started to fidget and feel the need to get up and walk. That was not the case with the X-chair.

My XChair Findings and Recommendation

I spent my career as a librarian for 15 years sitting on Herman Miller Aeron Chairs which are comfortable but also pricey and aren’t as customizable as the X-chair. I am 6’3 and weigh over 200 lbs. so the ability to have a chair that can accommodate by larger size is a plus. From an aesthetic standpoint, I also like the look of the X-Chair over the Herman Miller Aeron Chair.

Yes, it does cost a lot but considering this is the piece of furniture you will be using the most maybe aside from your mattress, it’s a worthy investment.

A few things really stood out about the X-Chair:

DVL – Dynamic Variable Lumbar support. This is the lower part of the back of the chair that gently cradles your lower back and will move inwards or outward depending on how far back you sit. You are constantly getting support which gives you the stamina to work through the hardest grinds.

Sci Float Infinite Recline

You can adjust the tension on the recline so that it is effortless to lean back and come back up without any jerking sensations that cheaper chairs have. I’m a rocker and like to move back and forth on my chair constantly so having this option work so smoothly was impressive.

The biggest decision you need to make is what kind of seat you will get with your X-Chair. I am a bigger person so I went with a wider seat which feels much more comfortable to me than the standard seat. You can adjust the seat depth forwards or backwards and you should aim to have the seat go about 2-3 inches short of the back of your knees to take pressure off your lower back.

Right now I am using the X-Tech Executive Chair which has a wide seat and comes with a M Foam seat standard. I prefer this over the mesh fabric found in the X3 ATR even though the mesh fabric is more breathable.

Here’s My X-Tech Executive Chair. It has a mesh DVL so that you can use the HMT system more effectively.

I also upgraded to teh 360 armrests but I really don’t use the full 360. It is nice to have the armrest move with you though to reduce it rubbing your arm. There’s also a locking mechanism where you can move the armrests in or out and lock them to your preferred position.

X-Chair Trial, Returns, and Warranty.

The X-Chair comes with a 30-day trial where you can try it out in your home for 3o days and if you aren’t happy with it during the trial period you can return it. Just keep in mind that they will keep $149 of the purchase price to send a return kit so it’s not a full refund but still not bad considering how heavy this chair is and chances are you will probably keep it. If you do keep it, you are backed by a 15-year warranty. Some of the highlights of the warrant are that all moving parts are covered for 5 years while the metal components are for 5 years.

Where Can You Try the XChair?

Right now there aren’t many places to try the Xchair. Fortunately, we now have the Xchair available to try at our San Diego Yawnder Showroom . Yawnder is a Premier Full Line Dealer of all X-Chair products so we can get you an extremely aggressive discount, much more than you will find online as well as free shipping.

X Basic STS
X2-HMT with headrest
X 3 black memory foam with headrest

X77 black massage chair

The X77 Massage Chair is my top pick for massage chairs for tall people. Some of the other popular brands with enclosed foot massagers are too small for my feet. I wear a size 13. The X-Chair foot massage feature has open feet so it’s much more comfortable for tall people or just people with big feet.

3 thoughts on “X-Chair Review: An Honest Assessment”

I’m trying to compare the X-1 and the X-2 chairs. Your advertisement indicates that you can give an “extremely aggressive discount, much more than you will find online as well as free shipping.” Can you give me details, please? I’ve been looking at the XChair website, and they are currently offering the X-1 Elemax for $829.99 and the X-2 Elemax for about $949. They also seem to charge extra for such things as the wheels (?), armrests, and footstool (despite TV advertising of a free footstool being included). These seem to be considered as extras and would considerably increase the overall price of the chair. Unfortunately, their sale only continues for a few more hours, so I don’t have much time to make a decision. I would really appreciate anything you can tell me about these chairs, if you have them available (or will in the near future). Thank you!

Hi Dorothy. Their price increase has been delayed for another week so there is still time. Feel free to contact me or our showroom at 858-232-5760 and I can go over our discounts and options.

The Best Office Chairs

Four chairs we recomend, clustered close together on a green rug.

By Melanie Pinola and Kaitlyn Wells

Many cheap office chairs can make you feel as if you’ve been crammed into a torturous economy seat on a cross-country flight. But quality office chairs give you an upgrade to first class—they’re designed to support your body comfortably for the long haul.

We’ve researched dozens of office chairs, interviewed four ergonomics experts, and asked test panelists (with a variety of body types) to sit in deliberation for more than 175 collective hours.

Since 2015, we’ve found that the Steelcase Gesture is the best office chair for most people.

Everything we recommend

Steelcase Gesture

The best office chair.

This is one of the most adjustable chairs available—anyone can make it comfortable, regardless of their height or size. And it’s built to last.

Buying Options

Herman Miller Aeron Chair

Iconic, comfortable, and more breathable.

This chair has more-limited armrest adjustability than our top pick, but it’s also more breathable and just as comfortable. And it comes in three sizes, so it fits a wider range of body types than most one-size-fits-all chairs.

Herman Miller Sayl Chair

A look you’ll either love or hate.

This chair is as supportive and comfortable as many models that are twice the price, but it’s lacking some advanced adjustment features. It’s also the most visually distinctive model we tested.

Budget pick

HON Ignition 2.0

Inexpensive but adjustable.

This chair—one of the most comfortable we’ve tested—retails for under $500 and has many of the adjustments generally reserved for pricier chairs. But we don’t think it will last as long as our other picks.

Testing notes

We judged office chairs on seat, backrest, and armrest comfort, as well as on seat and arm-height adjustability.

A good backrest should support you regardless of the angle you sit at.

If a chair’s material seems cheap or feels as if it could crack under stress on day one, chances are good that it will be utterly destroyed by day 500.

We look for office chairs with at least a five-year warranty (though longer is better) that covers just about anything that breaks.

The Steelcase Gesture costs more than $1,000, but if you sit for long periods, the expense is well worth it.

Across multiple test panels, involving dozens of staffers trying out office chairs, the Gesture has continued to be a favorite since we first recommended it, in 2015.

It’s one of the most comfortable, supportive, and durable office chairs we’ve ever tested. Everything has stood the test of time—from the back support to the quality fabric to the dependable adjustment knobs.

And of the chairs we tested, the Gesture offers the widest range of fabrics and other finishing options, so you can customize its appearance to your liking.

The Herman Miller Aeron Chair is iconic, comfortable, and durable. And if you run hot, the mesh back and seat make it a better option than the Steelcase Gesture.

Bottom line: If you mainly want a chair that props you up ergonomically and is comfortable to sit in for long hours of typing at a desk, the Aeron will suit you well.

The Aeron’s armrests aren’t as adjustable as the Gesture’s, so this chair is not as versatile for different tasks requiring arm support, such as propping up a tablet to read. But the Aeron is easier to move around and less bulky than the Gesture, and it doesn’t collect as much lint.

This chair is well known for its durability, and it comes with a 12-year warranty. If the price seems too high, you can probably find a lightly used Aeron—for a steep discount—at an office-furniture liquidation store.

The Aeron comes in three sizes, so we recommend checking the fit guide (PDF) before you order.

If our top picks are out of your desired price range, the Herman Miller Sayl Chair provides similar comfort and durability—for nearly half the price.

The Sayl is not as adjustable as the Steelcase Gesture, but it still satisfied test panelists of various sizes and heights.

As a high-quality chair with strong lumbar support, the Sayl is a good fit for someone performing standard office work—and its plastic webbed back stays cooler than fabric cushions.

This chair looks like no other model. If you’re into the space-age design, the Sayl comes in a range of color options, to make it blend in or stand out.

If you’re looking for something more affordable than our other picks, the HON Ignition 2.0 is the best inexpensive office chair we’ve tested.

It has all of the standard adjustments we like to see in a chair, including seat depth, tilt tension, tilt lock, seat height, and arm height.

It’s comfortable for all-day use, with effective, adjustable lumbar support (make sure the product description says “adjustable lumbar” so you get the model with that option).

However, this chair has a minimum seat height of 17 inches, so people of below-average height may have difficulty sitting properly with their feet flat on the floor (we recommend a footrest ). Also, the Ignition 2.0 isn’t as sturdy as our pricier picks, and we don’t think it will last nearly as long.

The research

Why you should trust us, who this is for, how we picked and tested, our pick: steelcase gesture, runner-up: herman miller aeron chair, also great: herman miller sayl chair, budget pick: hon ignition 2.0, other good office chairs, the competition, frequently asked questions.

Senior staff writer Kaitlyn Wells has spent the past decade working in hybrid and remote office environments, and she understands the importance of having a great office chair. While covering Wirecutter’s home-office beat, she’s tested everything from standing desks and printers to paper planners and dictation software .

Senior staff writer Melanie Pinola has tested dozens of office chairs, as well as other ergonomic products such as under-desk footrests and laptop stands , for Wirecutter since 2019. Prior to joining Wirecutter, she covered technology and productivity for over a dozen years for sites such as Consumer Reports, Lifehacker, PCWorld, and Laptop Magazine.

Buying an office chair is like buying a mattress : If you’re spending a third of your life sitting or lying on an item, it had better support your well-being and not break your back. If you have a full-time desk job, 14,000 hours is the minimum amount of time you’ll spend sitting over the next 10 years. (That’s assuming you sit in a chair for at least 35 hours a week, which you really shouldn’t do .)

We now know that any sustained in-chair time can be detrimental to your health , but a bad chair only adds to the problem by putting you in positions that add to long-term risk. If you have a home office, finding a chair that makes your desk time more comfortable and healthful is a worthwhile endeavor.

One of the authors sitting in the Steelcase Gesture sitting at a desk typing on a keyboard.

If you don’t spend that much time sitting in front of a computer, you don’t need the type of ergonomic, adjustability-focused office chair like the ones we recommend here. If you sit down only occasionally to check email or play games, buy the chair you feel most comfortable in or like the look of. Many people are happy to briefly work while sitting on a dining-room chair or a sofa. This guide is for people who work full-time from an office chair.

An assortment of office chairs in front of a desk

Before each round of testing, we scour manufacturers’ sites to look for any new models, and we comb through older versions of this guide to reevaluate our picks and previous dismissals. We also consult ergonomics experts to get advice on what to look for in an office chair that would best support your body for short or long periods of sitting. We use the following criteria to decide which chairs to test:

Comfort: Finding the perfect, most comfortable office chair is a subjective endeavor that also depends on the type of work you do, your body size, and how you sit. Although many office chairs have a 300-pound weight limit, most of our picks have 350- or 400-pound capacities, and in our latest round of testing, our panelists included paid testers who have above-average heights and weights. We evaluated office chairs based on seat, backrest, and armrest comfort. How we felt after we got up from a chair was just as important as how we felt while we were sitting.
Lumbar and back support: Because people have different torso lengths and lumbar curvatures, adjustability is key, according to professor Alan Hedge , an ergonomics expert. A good backrest will support you regardless of how you sit.
Ease of reclining: Reclining is important for “sustainable sitting,” according to our experts, because you can move your body a bit more while you’re seated.
Adjustability: A more-adjustable chair ensures a better fit for a wider range of bodies—and it’s more likely you’ll be happy with the chair you buy. Good chairs offer adjustable seat height, arm height, tilt, and seat depth. The best chairs allow you to customize the tilt distance and the amount of force needed to lean the chair back.
Durability and materials: A lot of minor things can go wrong with a chair—the arms could come loose, a knob could crack, or a piece might break off entirely. Cheaper chairs are notorious for developing weird squeaks and creaking sounds over time. Seat cushions in particular can give out quickly, with the cheaper foam leaving you with an office chair that feels saggy. For those who like to move around while working, caster quality is also important.
Price: Office chairs below $200 are made with cheaper plastic and metal, tend to have fixed armrests and seat depths, and usually look bland and have inferior warranties. Starting at around $300, chairs are more adjustable and built with high-quality materials. And at $1,000, there are more color and accessory options and even higher-end materials and finer adjustments for lumbar support.
Warranty: Though a typical no-name chair might be covered for one or two years, most high-end chairs come with at least a 10-year warranty. We look for office chairs that come with a warranty of at least five years, but preferably longer. Expensive chairs also have warranties that cover just about anything that breaks, whereas the warranties for cheaper chairs don’t cover normal wear and tear.
Appearance: We prioritize comfort over appearance, but not everyone will be happy with the bland blacks and grays of most office furniture. We ask our panelists what they think about the aesthetics of each chair they try; we consider fabric choice, color, and other customization options to be a bonus.

Based on our conversations with ergonomists, we avoided two types of chairs entirely:

Executive-style chairs: Physiotherapist and seating historian Jenny Pynt told us to avoid “executive-style” chairs, those that “force your upper spine, that part between the shoulder blades, forward.” You should choose something that’s supporting your back, not sculpting it.
Chairs that lack backrests or have partial backrests: Pynt also warned us against stools and other seats without backrests, at least as full-time accommodations, “because no matter how virtuous you are, you will slump.”

In our testing, each panelist evaluates chairs on the above criteria using a modified version of this ergonomic seating evaluation form (PDF) from Cornell University. And each panelist evaluates the chairs on all of the criteria, on a scale from 0 (unacceptable) to 10 (excellent).

Testers assess comfort, body support, adjustability, and durability, and they sit in the chairs while typing at computers, playing video games, writing emails, sitting through meetings, and just leaning back to think.

We’ve also gathered long-term testing notes on the chairs staffers were using for months in our offices.

Steelcase Gesture Office Chair (Graphite)

With plenty of adjustability for a wide range of body types, the Steelcase Gesture is the best and most comfortable office chair for most people.

It’s supremely comfortable. After sitting in various other office chairs during testing, going back to the Gesture was, as one panelist put it, “like going to the spa.”

Impressively, the panelists scored the Gesture highest across all of our criteria. And they said that compared with seat cushions on similar chairs, the Gesture’s cushion hit the right balance of firmness and plushness; it was far better than seat cushions on budget chairs, which were almost-like-sitting-on-a-wooden-chair firm.

Wirecutter staffers who own the Gesture have confirmed that the cushion, back padding, and armrests are as comfortable after five years of heavy use as they were on day one.

It’s versatile, supportive, and packed with features. This chair is comfortable across multiple tasks, as confirmed by our testing panel, which included writers, editors, and photographers with different body types.

This chair’s lumbar and back support are on a par with that of other chairs in this price range—in other words, excellent. But the Gesture stands out due to how comfortable it is to recline in and how easy it is to vary your position. The backs on most other chairs tilt when you recline, but the Gesture’s back is designed to flex, as well, since your spine has a different shape when you’re reclining versus when you’re sitting up straight.

Our testers agreed that the Gesture’s recline experience was one of the most comfortable among all the chairs we tested. That’s because the Gesture retains the recline angle, so you don’t have to continue pushing back with your feet or your core to maintain that angle (as you must do with most other chairs).

It offers more and better adjustments than the competition. The Gesture is easy to maneuver and adjust to exactly the right configuration for your task and body type. You can move the seat depth forward and backward, change tilt tension, adjust how far back the chair can lean, and move the seat up and down.

The Gesture is also the only chair we tested with ball-and-socket armrests that you can move into nearly any position. We found the Gesture’s arm support useful when we were playing games, reclining to read, and leaning over a tablet to draw for long hours.

It looks good and lasts a long time. Testers appreciated the Gesture’s minimalist appearance, which is great for a professional setting or when you want your home office to feel more professional.

Steelcase’s 12-year warranty (PDF) covers everything that typically can go wrong with chairs, including any problems in the pneumatic cylinders (which enable the height adjustment). And in our testing, over years of heavy use, the Gesture has proved sturdy.

The Gesture is undeniably expensive. But if you don’t care about getting specific colors (the customized version offers more than 70 fabric options plus six leather ones), you can often find this chair for less than $500 at office liquidators online or locally. You lose the warranty if you buy the chair used, but the savings may make the trade-off worth it.

Flaws but not dealbreakers

If you run hot, work in an office without air conditioning, or live in a warm part of the world, the Gesture may not be the best chair for you because the foam and fabric don’t breathe well. All of our other picks have mesh backs, which are much more breathable and also less likely to collect lint.
The Gesture is not the ergonomic revolution that Steelcase’s marketing materials suggest: Fancy armrests aside, most ergonomic task chairs in the $1,000 to $1,500 range will have similar features and back support. What sets the Gesture apart is that it excels for those who want to recline with little effort, switch tasks throughout the day, or easily make adjustments to fine-tune the fit.
This chair weighs over 70 pounds, which can be annoying if you want to move it around your home office. But that also makes it super sturdy.

How the Steelcase Gesture has held up

A closeup of the bottom of the Steelcase Gesture office chair.

The Herman Miller Aeron Chair is a well-built, highly adjustable model. And it may be a more comfortable option than the Steelcase Gesture for people who run hot, thanks to its mesh seat and back.

Its mesh design is surprisingly supportive. Some of our testers likened using the Aeron to sitting in a hammock, since the springy material almost suspends you as you sit.

The mesh seat and back make the Aeron a better option than foam upholstered chairs for those who live in a warm climate or sweat easily.

It’s not as adjustable as the Gesture, but it’s still more customizable than most chairs. First, the good: The Aeron has most of the ergonomic adjustments we want to see in a high-end chair, including a fully adjustable lumbar-support system and arms that go up and down and angle in and out.

However, it falls short of the Gesture in several key ways. The Aeron’s armrests aren’t as adjustable, and reclining isn’t as effortless. You cannot adjust the seat depth, either, and the arm height is a pain to change. This may be especially frustrating to people who switch tasks throughout the day.

It comes in three sizes to suit different body types. Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, the Aeron comes in different sizes (PDF) , labeled A, B, and C. The sizes roughly correlate to ascending height and weight ranges, and even though you might not find a size that fits you perfectly, you should still look at the size chart and consider what makes sense for you.

One of our testers, right on the cusp of sizes B (medium) and C (large) in the chart, found the size B chair far too narrow, and the recline was too easy to push back accidentally. When in doubt, we recommend sizing up.

A close up of the underside of the Aeron office chair.

It’s ideal for desk work, and it enforces proper posture. Try to sit with your legs crossed in an Aeron, and you’ll immediately find it uncomfortable. Do so on the Steelcase Gesture, and you might totally forget that your legs are crossed until you stand up. For some people, the Aeron’s forced ergonomics are nice, but others might find the chair to be too prescriptive.

It has a classic look that has stood the test of time. The Aeron has an iconic design, one that has been widely imitated. Our panelists remarked that the gray (called “mineral”) model we tested looked less monolithic than the black version, and they thought it might blend in better in some homes. You can also splurge on options, such as a polished or satin aluminum frame, to spruce it up a little.

It has a long warranty and excellent durability, and it’s widely available. The Aeron comes with a 12-year warranty covering all repairs and parts. Many of these parts are easy to replace yourself; unlike the Gesture (which hides its moving parts), the Aeron wears its skeleton proudly. It’s easy to see the exact bolts you need to remove to replace a piece.

Compared with the Gesture, the Aeron feels much more durable and harder to break—it’s mostly metal, hard plastic, and mesh. (Wirecutter editor Thorin Klosowski has had a classic Aeron for over a decade and has moved with it many times, including twice to different states, and it still looks brand new.)

Because the Aeron is so popular, you can often find older or lightly used ones at a substantial discount from office liquidators or even on Craigslist.

A close up of the Herman Miller Sayl office chair with a blue mesh back and a light gray seat.

Starting at well under $1,000, the Herman Miller Sayl Chair is a good compromise between a cheap budget chair and a high-end one.

It’s adjustable enough for most people. The Sayl doesn’t have the less common adjustments you’d get with the Steelcase Gesture . But it does offer the basic ergonomic customization most people need—especially if you get the optional adjustable armrests (which can slide up or down, in or out, or diagonally inward or outward).

The Sayl offers tilt tension and distance adjustment, but it takes a few turns of the tension knob before you really notice a change. And one of our size C testers found it was too easy to lean all the way back in this chair.

Most people will find that the Sayl’s fixed seat depth (16 inches) supports their thighs well enough. But if you need adjustability, an adjustable-depth option lets you push the seat out to 18 inches (for about $800 more).

It’s comfortable for all-day sitting. The rubber mesh back moves and stretches with you as you shift into it, and as the day goes on, it provides plenty of support for the S-shaped curve of your spine. Our smaller testers especially liked this chair.

You can purchase an optional adjustable lumbar-support control that slides up and down on the back. However, most of our testers found this piece to be unnecessary because the Sayl naturally forces you to sit upright.

The seat is upholstered in high-quality fabric, and it has a firm cushion that feels like it will last a long time. But if you prefer a softer, cushier seat, the Steelcase Gesture would be a better option for you.

It stands out in a crowd. The Sayl’s unframed rubber back has an unusual look that catches the eye. (It’s so distinctive-looking that it was even used in The Hunger Games .) You can pick from among several colors for the back mesh, base, and seat fabric.

Of course, design is a matter of personal preference. Some panelists loved the “alien/space-age” look of the chair while others hated it. During testing, we referred to the Sayl as the Tron chair.

A close up of the unusual mesh on the back of the Sayl office chair.

It has the same durability and long warranty as the Aeron. This chair is made of softer plastics and has less metal than the Aeron, but it comes with the same 12-year warranty and will still hold up over time.

We’ve been regularly using Sayl chairs since 2018, and they have generally maintained their smooth adjustments and looks, though the arm movements can be clunky on occasion. In testing, we were concerned about the plastic back ripping, but it has been remarkably sturdy.

How the Herman Miller Sayl Chair has held up

The HON Ignition 2.0 is the best budget option we’ve found. It’s comfortable to sit in, and it offers the best lumbar support of any chair we’ve tested under $500.

It’s more durable than other chairs at this price. The Ignition 2.0’s materials feel more durable and of a higher quality than those of similarly priced competitors, and it has less wobbly armrests and smoother-rolling casters.

It’s the most comfortable budget chair we’ve tested. The seat cushion is thick and soft, and you don’t have to break it in. At the end of a long day, it still feels supportive, unlike too-soft seats that you’d sink into over time.

Compared with the back on the Aeron (which has a tight weave that feels like a trampoline for your posterior), the back on the Ignition 2.0 feels more like a camping chair you sink into. And we think the Ignition 2.0’s armrests, which consist of a soft plastic with light cushioning, will last a while.

Although the Ignition 2.0 doesn’t compare in overall comfort to the Steelcase Gesture or the Aeron, it at least gets all the basics right.

Its lumbar support really works. Most office chairs claim to offer lumbar support, but more often than not it’s nonexistent. The Ignition 2.0’s optional adjustable lumbar support actually works and is noticeable: When our testers moved the back support up or down, it stayed in place and provided extra support where they needed it.

It offers lots of other adjustments. You can move the seat depth in and out, change the seat height, and telescope the arms up and down as well as away from or toward your torso.

The arms don’t go down as far as those on the Gesture, the Aeron, or the Sayl . But many other budget chairs provide no armrest adjustments at all (which some of our testers noted as a dealbreaker, after sitting in 10 different chairs).

Because of its higher-than-average minimum seat height, this chair is not a great fit if you’re petite. One 5-foot-2 tester found it impossible to keep her feet flat on the floor while sitting in the chair at its lowest height. A footrest easily solves that problem, albeit at an added cost.

It has stylish, minimalist good looks, and it comes in different materials and sizes. The Ignition 2.0 looks less boxy than competing budget-priced chairs, and it’s available with a gray or black mesh back.

HON offers different task chairs in the Ignition series: the mesh-back Ignition 2.0, which we tested; the Ignition, which is a fully upholstered chair; and a Big and Tall Ignition, which supports up to 450 pounds but usually costs more than double the price of the Ignition 2.0.

It’s well built and has a solid warranty. The Ignition 2.0 comes with a limited lifetime warranty that covers defective materials or workmanship. But it doesn’t cover minor parts wearing out (as the Steelcase and Herman Miller warranties do).

That said, the Ignition 2.0 seems like it will be a little more durable than most chairs in this price range. The frame is mostly hard, matte plastic, and the casters roll smoothly. And the seat cushion is covered with a thick woven fabric (though it’s obviously less premium, with a looser weave, than that of the Gesture).

How the HON Ignition 2.0 has held up

If you want a high-end chair, but you don’t have quite the budget for a Steelcase or Herman Miller model : Consider the ergoCentric tCentric Hybrid .

Like the $1,000-plus chairs we recommend, this one (which is designed and built in Canada) has tons of configuration options, comes with a 12-year warranty , and feels made to last.

The chair we tested has a wide range of ergonomic adjustments. And it even has some unusual features, such as armrests that can spin 360 degrees, an inflatable lumbar-support cushion, and a built-in adjustable headrest.

We don’t love the lateral armrest adjustment: It doesn’t have a lock and thus tends to slip under the hands when you’re standing up from the chair. But you can opt for armrests that just swivel and lift (and save some money in the process).

The tCentric Hybrid is generally less expensive than a comparably equipped Steelcase Gesture or Herman Miller Aeron . But this chair doesn’t have the Gesture’s cleverly designed recline mechanism or the Aeron’s iconic looks, and ergoCentric lacks the long-standing reputations of those companies.

If you want Steelcase’s most attractive ergonomic feature in a less-expensive chair: Check out the Steelcase Karman .

This lightweight mesh chair has a design that’s a bit like the Herman Miller Aeron , with its solid frame and scalloped seat. It also boasts the same flexible reclining experience as the Steelcase Gesture , but starts at $850 (at this writing), undercutting the Gesture by at least $250.

It has fewer adjustments overall than the Gesture. You raise or lower the seat, and can get it with height-adjustable or four-way adjustable armrests, as well as optional added lumbar support. For most people, these will be enough. But if you need more, consider our Steelcase or Herman Miller picks.

We found it comfortable, cool, and supportive to sit in, though the rubberized seat frame may annoy people who like to sit cross-legged. Like the Aeron, this is a chair that teaches you how to sit properly, whether you like it or not.

If you want a mesh chair with a headrest and highly adjustable lumbar support : The Razer Fujin Pro is worth a look.

Billed as a “fully adjustable mesh gaming and desk chair” by gaming company Razer, the Fujin Pro can support you for long stints of gameplay or work (or both). Its all-mesh design begs a comparison with the Herman Miller Aeron or the Steelcase Gesture ; the Fujin Pro stands out mostly for its included headrest for neck and head support while reclining and height- and depth-adjustable lumbar support.

We found it easy to dial the lumbar support inwards or outwards to customize its comfort, and although the armrests don’t have as much range of motion as the Steelcase Gesture, we appreciated the locks on the Fujin Pro to keep the armrests in place. The chair doesn’t offer as snug of a fit as the Aeron, which is a matter of preference, and one panelist (6-foot-6 and over 300 pounds) said the back edge of the seat was uncomfortable for him.

The Fujin Pro has a relatively short 5-year warranty for a chair that costs over $1,000.

If you want an extra roomy seat and support for up to 400 pounds : Take a look at the Staples Driscott Ergonomic Fabric Managers Big & Tall Chair .

This chair’s seat is a couple of inches wider and deeper than our picks and other chairs we’ve tested (it measures 23.6 inches wide by 19.9 inches deep). That made it an instant hit with our testers who are above average in height and weight (for men, average is: 5-foot-9 and 200 pounds; for women: 5-foot-4 and 171 pounds), as well as panelists who said they often like to sit cross-legged at their desks. We found the seat to be plushy and comfortable, although the armrests were not as comfortable as other chairs because of its minimal padding.

Adjustments on the chair are minimal as well: the seat and arms go up and down, and the lumbar support has a depth dial that didn’t make any noticeable difference.

Like the Steelcase Gesture , the Driscott has a relatively high 400-pound weight capacity. This budget chair also offers a limited lifetime warranty, but note that Staples’ furniture return window is 14 days.

If you want a more-stylish budget chair and can live with wiggly armrests: The Branch Ergonomic Chair is another option worth considering.

This chair has a thick, well-padded seat, like on the HON Ignition 2.0. And, like the Fully Desk Chair, it has premium design features, including an aluminum base and a few different color options for the frame and seat.

But even though we liked this chair’s solid lumbar support, its armrests were wobblier than those on other chairs in its price range.

The Branch Verve is a generally comfortable, flexible chair that comes in eye-catching colors like coral pink and sage green. But starting at $550, it costs much more than Branch’s own $350 Ergonomic Chair , which offers a wider range of ergonomic adjustments and can be outfitted with a head rest. We found the seat’s gentle forward slope (which Branch told us is an ergonomic feature) slightly unsettling, since it gave us the vague feeling that we were about to slide off. And we didn’t like the arm design, either. If you pull on an arm (say, to move the chair), it easily extends to its full height. The problem is, this is also how you unlock the arm, which sends it sliding all the way back down to its lowest position. For us, at least, that meant we were constantly readjusting the arms to our preferred height.

We had a similar experience comparing the Hon Nucleus to its sibling and our budget pick, the HON Ignition 2.0 —the more expensive Nucleus didn’t seem to offer significant advantages over the Ignition 2.0 except for coming in a couple of pleasant, neutral colorways. The Nucleus’s foam seat sits on a mesh-covered frame, which the company says offers a hammock-like feel; it’s comfortable to sit in especially if you like firmer support, but we didn’t experience the implied suspended bliss of the seat design.

We weren’t able to test the Shaquille O’Neal Nereus Executive Chair , which has a high 400-pound weight limit and tall maximum seat height to accommodate basketball players or people as big as them. The chair arrived with a broken seat handle; we were also concerned about the bonded leather’s durability.

The Hon Ignition 2.0 Big & Tall Task Chair came with a missing chair lift cylinder, so we were unable to test that as well.

We found the FlexiSpot C7 ’s seat comfortable, but the chair was more difficult to adjust than our picks, its protruding lumbar support section was awkward to sit against, the fold-out footrest felt flimsy, and the chair rolled everywhere on its own while we were sitting in it.

The X-Chair X3 ATR Management Chair with Elemax has a lot of interesting-sounding features, but it’s just an okay chair. The backrest and lumbar support didn’t adjust high enough, and they were prone to slipping out of position. There’s a free kit that allows users to screw the lumbar support in place (video) , but this seems like a less-than-ideal solution for a chair that’s nearly $1,000. Testers also found that the dual-mode massage function didn’t work very well.

The All33 BackStrong C1 Chair (now replaced by the similar Axion ) is the most unusual chair we’ve ever tested, with a seat and a lower-back area that pivot separately from the upper-back area—a design created by a chiropractor to support and encourage movement of “all 33” vertebrae in your lower spine. This was effective in engaging our core muscles when we moved in the chair. But the construction is plasticky, and the armrests aren’t adjustable. And it has a high minimum seat height, so this chair isn’t suitable for people who are under about 5-foot-8.

The HON Convergence ’s seat is too squishy, with thin fabric, and its mid- to upper-back support was not as good as that of the HON Ignition 2.0 .

The HON Exposure is a fine chair, but the Ignition 2.0 has a more comfortable seat, better lumbar support, a higher weight capacity, and a less-boxy design for about the same retail price.

A person sits in the Herman Miller Cosm chair and leans back slightly.

The Herman Miller Cosm Chair (available in low- , mid- , and high-back versions) is designed to shift and move with you. It costs about the same as the Aeron , and our panelists scored it well for comfort, back support, ease of reclining, and overall appearance. But in all those categories, the Aeron still edged out the Cosm by a hair.

The Steelcase Silq ’s design philosophy is similar to that of the Herman Miller Cosm. But we found the Silq to be less comfortable than other, comparable chairs to sit in for long periods of time. One size C tester found that the Silq pushed them forward in an uncomfortable way and that the armrests dug into them.

Humanscale’s Freedom Task Chair is compact and offers plenty of finishes, but our panelists rated it just average across most of the categories, including comfort, back support, and adjustment ease. It also has a very firm seat.

The Autonomous ErgoChair 2 (now called the ErgoChair Pro) combines a mesh back and a foam seat for a relatively low price, yet it was our panelists’ least favorite chair. One tester said that sitting in it for 90 minutes “felt like an eternity,” and another remarked that this chair might motivate them to get a standing desk. The back pushes you forward more than is natural, the headrest is uncomfortable, and the adjustments are difficult to control.

IKEA’s Hattefjäll comes in gray, pink, or white and has a fun, curvy design. But we found the foam seat too firm and potentially prone to collecting excess dust, lint, and other detritus. Because of its size, this chair is also best suited to petite people.

The AmazonBasics Mid-Back Mesh Office Chair is the least expensive model we’ve tested, with fixed armrests and a one-year warranty. Our petite-size testers had difficulty sitting in this chair comfortably and getting full back support because of the seat-pan depth. Others complained about the firm seat and the limited recline. Ultimately, we think you’re better off saving for a more comfortable chair that will last longer.

The Steelcase Leap is an excellent chair with ample adjustments and a comfortable back. But most of our testers didn’t find anything about the Leap that separated it from the Steelcase Gesture or the Herman Miller Aeron.

The Haworth Fern was the favorite of a couple of testers. But because of its high back, others couldn’t get comfortable in it, no matter how hard they tried.

Herman Miller’s Embody Chair is a strange-looking model, yet it’s comfortable, highly adjustable, and high-tech. However, its starting price is even higher than the Gesture’s, and it lacks the Gesture’s arm adjustability and fabric variety.

The Herman Miller Mirra 2 Chair is a good office model, and it’s priced comparably to the Aeron. But we think the Aeron is a better chair, with a more comfortable seat and better tilt controls.

The Steelcase Amia ranked highly for some testers, but its unremarkable design and limited features keep it from truly excelling.

The Steelcase Think is similar to the Amia in that none of our testers found it terrible, yet only one person put it in their top three. It’s inoffensive, and because it has a mesh back, it will be breathable in the heat. However, we think most people should get the similarly priced Gesture instead.

Some testers found the Knoll ReGeneration uncomfortable to sit in: They complained about the back of the chair pushing awkwardly on their lower spine. Others found the recline, which shoves your crotch into the air as you push back, a little awkward.

None of our testers liked the Steelcase Series 1 . They complained that it was too short, the arms were too tall, and it was generally uncomfortable to sit in for longer than a couple of hours at a time.

The IKEA Markus was universally reviled by our testing panel. Shorter testers said the high back made them feel like a kid sitting on a throne, while taller testers said the non-adjustable arms were far too low to be comfortable.

As part of our ongoing mission to recommend high-quality office chairs at different prices, we have considered a number of chairs under $300 that met our criteria for adjustability (lumbar support, height, seat depth, armrest, and tilt/tension) and that also had a warranty of at least five years. We dismissed the Staples Hyken Mesh Task Chair and the Office Star ProGrid Mesh Manager’s Chair for the lack of seat-depth adjustability. And we eliminated the Staples Kroy Mesh/Fabric Task Chair and the TribeSigns T18 Ergonomic Office Chair over concerns about a limited seat-height range (3 inches) or a too-high minimum seat height (over 18 inches).

How long do desk chairs last?

How long any chair will last depends on how you use it. But the best chairs should last over a decade, while inexpensive ones may last only a year or two. High-end chairs, like our top pick and runner-up , are made with highly durable parts and fabrics. And they come with longer warranties (12 years for the Steelcase Gesture and the Herman Miller Aeron ) that cover any issues outside normal wear and tear. Less expensive chairs, like those found at Wayfair and big-box retailers, come with one- or two-year warranties and use inferior materials.

Are expensive office chairs worth it?

Yes, if you spend most of your working hours sitting at your desk. A high-quality chair will last longer. And it will also provide more ergonomic controls, so you can customize your seating position to give your body the most support possible. Sitting for hours on end in a chair without proper support can result in lower-back, neck, and/or hip pain, which can impede your ability to work. Expensive chairs can also be bought secondhand (often in like-new condition) at significant discounts, so they are more accessible to more people.

Should I buy an office chair, a task chair, or a gaming chair?

Office chairs and task chairs are generally synonymous. However, in practice, usually the cheapest, smallest, least ergonomically sound office chairs are the ones sold as task chairs. Gaming chairs, meanwhile, resemble office chairs but generally provide fewer ergonomic adjustments. For instance, although a good gaming chair will offer lumbar support, its backrest is designed to cradle you as you play, rather than support an ideal seating position . Ergonomic concerns aside, gaming chairs also tend to make aesthetic choices that look good on a Twitch stream but may seem less appropriate in a Zoom meeting with your boss.

Where can I buy a cheap office chair?

A quick Google search for office chairs will turn up hundreds of models, many of which cost under $100 and can be found online at sites like Wayfair and Amazon or at big-box stores and office retailers like Target and Staples. Though most of those chairs may seem fine at first, you’ll soon be feeling (and hearing) the consequences of choosing a cheap chair: creaking sounds, deflated foam cushions, and cracking armrests and other plastic parts. Rather than spending $50 to $100 every year or two, you’re better off saving up to buy a well-made chair that will last.

If you can’t stomach the idea of spending $300 to $1,000 for an office chair, despite the benefits, look for a good used deal on one of our picks.

Does IKEA have good office chairs?

Over the years, we’ve tested a few office chairs from IKEA . And we’ve found that these chairs tend to lack adjustability, which can be a dealbreaker for many people. Our taller testers found the non-adjustable armrests on the budget-friendly IKEA Markus to be too short, and shorter testers thought the chair’s lowest seat position was still too high. The IKEA Hattefjäll comes in colorful fabrics and sports a fun, curvy design, but our testers found the seat too firm for prolonged sitting. We think you’re better off getting our budget pick , since it’s only about $40 more.

The TikTok-Famous Pipersong Meditation Chair Is Not a Miracle Cure for Uncomfortable Office Chairs

by Annemarie Conte

From the moment my butt touched the seat of the Pipersong chair, I felt discombobulated. The chair rolls easily, and the footrest swings freely, so it’s hard to get oriented.

Best Cooling Comforters for Hot Sleepers: 11 Options That Offer Relief

Our evaluations and opinions are not influenced by our advertising relationships, but we may earn a commission from our partners’ links. This content is created independently from TIME’s editorial staff. Learn more about it.

I run hot, so a cooling comforter to sleep with at night is vital for me. Not only a comforter, but also cooling sheets and a cooling mattress—the whole package deal. It can be pretty hard to find the best comforters for all the hot sleepers out there, though, since the majority of comforters are designed to keep you warm and cozy. Luckily, many bedding brands have started making cooling comforters for customers who want to have a restful night’s sleep minus the sweat. We’ve rounded up the best cooling comforters to add to your cart, whether you’re shopping for yourself or a loved one.

What to consider when buying cooling comforters for hot sleepers

When buying a cooling comforter, consider the materials, since they can make a big difference to how you feel during the night. According to Frej Lewenhaupt, textile expert and co-founder and CEO of Steamery , certain materials are more breathable than others, providing a more cooling effect. “Some naturally cool materials include silk, linen, cotton, lyocell, seersucker, and hemp,” he says. ”These textiles breathe well and allow moisture to pass through them, which makes them feel nice and cool. ” (For an in-depth discussion about two of the most popular materials, see our guide to bamboo vs. cotton sheets .)

Aside from materials, the thickness of the comforter will play a role in how cooling it’ll feel against the skin. “Natural materials like down and wool are usually very breathable but can also insulate well, while synthetic fabrics like polyester are usually light and airy but more likely to attract and trap bad odors,” says Lewenhaupt.

Additional Bedding

The comforter won’t make much of a difference in how cool you feel during the night if the rest of the bedding isn’t also made with cooling properties in mind. “If you’re using a top sheet made from synthetic material underneath your comforter, it can trap heat and moisture, even with a good, breathable comforter,” says Lewenhaupt. He recommends opting for a top sheet made from natural materials like cotton or silk that will feel cooler against your skin. Shopping tip: Our guides to the best cotton sheets and the best silk sheets can help you find options that fit the bill.

There’s the option to pick from three different weights (lightweight, all season, and ultra-warm) so in this case, hot sleepers can pick the lightweight option that feels cool to the touch for more breathability and ventilation. (Just make sure to pick up a duvet cover.)
