KEY FEATURES & BENEFITS

Ergonomic Back Support

The Balance Deluxe Mid-Back office chair features a high-density foam backrest with a ratchet back height adjuster and an independent Schukra™ Lumbar Support system, providing incredible ergonomic stability to reduce back pain.

The back angle feature allows the backrest to move with you or to be reclined and locked.  So you can sit back when you’re not focused on a task, which also encourages blood flow through the pelvis.

Contoured Seat With LIFE-Foam Memory Foam

Contoured Seat With LIFE-Foam Memory Foam You can stay comfortable, be more focused and, ultimately, more productive.  Our Front Waterfall Edge design promotes better circulation behind the knee.  Add to that our signature Contour Seat frame which follows the shape of your body, combine this with LIFE-Foam Memory Foam which reduces pressure on the sit bones and soft tissue around the thigh and buttock area.  And Voila! you have a chair that distributes your weight more evenly.

The seat slider adjustment allows you to adjust the seat depth.  So if you have a taller frame, the seat pan included in the Balance Deluxe gives you up to two more inches of room.  The optimum seat position should be a space of two fingers widths behind the knee, encouraging blood flow behind the knees.

Ergo Arm Pads

Memory Foam swivel arm pads to keep you comfortable and reduce pain and pressure points on your arms, especially if you are prone to Carpal Tunnel Syndrome or Tendonitis.  You can easily adjust the height, depth and width of our arm pads.  With a chair that promotes better posture while being supportive, you’ll notice your concentration and energy increase.
