I recently purchased a Humanscale Freedom Chair and am amazed at how comfortably and how smoothly the ergonomic mechanisms work. Having heard of the countless design awards it has won, I had decided to try it myself. Undoubtably one of the best in it's class, the Freedom Task Chair has many fans. Since it's founding in 1982, Humanscale has made amazing progress in ergonomic design with many unique features and design elements.
The manual will walk the new owner through the correct adjustment and positioning of the different elements to the exact body type examples. Once positioned, the Freedom Chair works beautifully with no more need for manual adjustment. I am constantly having to adjust my old chair. My old chair is a traditional style leather executive model that cost me almost $600 and although it is soft, it is not built for the pressures of everyday tasks for long periods. The Humanscale chair is fitted to the users frame and adjusted with their body as they go through their everyday tasks and works beautifully, no need to keep tweaking the levers and knobs. This saves me alot of time.
The Humanscale Office Chair keeps the users level of sight constant when reclining or sitting in an upright position. Adjusting to the constantly changing positions, the chair adjusts to the needs of the spine in these different positions. My spine is not only comfortable but it is nice to keep my eye level constant when speaking with customers at the office. The chair also provides 1" additional lumbar support when it is needed for extra back comfort ability. I love this chair and my back would agree that it has been the best business purchase I have ever made for my productivity.
The armrests move in tandem with the frame which eliminates the need to worry about uneven arm positioning. The arms are also attached to the backrest instead of the seat so the arms stay in the same spot as the body is in. When sitting in the chair it was hard not to notice how relaxed my arms seemed. I have had problems with carpal tunnel and am constantly going in and out of wrist braces. I could feel the tension released when my fingers relaxed, something I never felt when reclining in my standard office chair and was won over completely by Humanscale.
The Humanscale Freedom Chair can be enojyed with virtually no effort on your part once initially adjusted. Who has the time to be constantly changing and adjusting levers on their office chair? Time is money and I feel like the comfort ability and time I save will make me a much more productive worker. Thanks to the Humanscale Freedom Chair, I am feeling better about spending way too much time in my office chair in front of this computer. |
