KEY FEATURES & BENEFITS

Remain Focused And Productive

The Lifestyles Grand Basic Office Chair is engineered to provide superior back support to encourage better posture, the Lifestyles Grand Basic office chair lets you remain focused and productive.  Designed with your comfort in mind, easily change positions throughout the day, try opening up the back angle which encourages blood flow through the pelvis.

Ergonomic Back Support

The High-Density Foam backrest provides constant support to prevent tiredness.  The ratchet back height feature provides ergonomic stability where you need it. Adjustable to fit virtually every height.

Contoured Seat With High-Density Foam

If you’re not comfortable, your productivity and concentration will decrease.  Following your body’s shape, LIFEFORM’s contoured seat was designed to reduce pressure on the sit bones and soft tissue around the thigh and buttock area.  Add to that our signature front waterfall edge to promote better circulation, and you have a chair that distributes your weight more evenly.  You can stay comfortable, be more focused and, ultimately, more productive.

The forward tilt also gives you the freedom to change tasks easily while the seat moves with you.  You can stay comfortable, be more focused and, ultimately, more productive.

It’s just what you’ve been waiting for.
