The Steelcase Series 1 chair has a LiveBack™ flexor system in the backrest which conforms to your body and moves with you to support the spine as you change postures. The tilt mechanism is synchronized; the seat and back work in harmony with each other, keeping the body securely supported in the chair and feet firmly planted on the floor so you can recline without leaving your optimal zone for seeing and reaching your work. 
This model includes an adjustable seat depth, fully adjustable arms (raise up and down, pivot in and out, shift forward and back and side to side), adjustable lumbar, pneumatic seat height adjustment, recline tension adjustment (weight activated with adjustment and lock), flexing back with mesh upholstery, upholstered seat and wheels for carpet flooring.
The seat features strong yet pliable foam which conforms to the body and creates pressure-free comfort. Flexible seat edge offers a bit of bend, right where you need it – relieving pressure points under your thighs. 
This chair will arrive unassembled and require some assembly; covered by Steelcase warranty.

This chair is probably really adequate. For the price I would have liked it to be more comfortable but I was still feeling stress and pain in my lower back and sciatic pain. The moving and movable arm rests were a detracting feature for me, they do not lock into place and I find them very distracting when I used the arm rests to leverage myself on the the chair or adjusting positions. I'm returning the chair, and the return process so far has been incredibly easy

Not what I was hoping for

Long post but not much info out there on the humanscale and I figured I'd give some real world feedback on my experience with it vs some commonly suggested competitors.

I own both a used Steelcase Leap V1 highback (basically a pre V2 V2) and a Humanscale Freedom headrest.

I paid $225 for the leap used on FB marketplace and $1200 for the Freedom but got to customize it how I wanted since they're all built to order.  I wanted to get a Freedom second hand but could only find them from National Office Interiors and Liquidators and SeatingMind (both apparently the same company) and notorious for scamming customers and sending damaged chairs.

The leap is at the office and freedom at the house and I spend a good 9 hours every day in the leap and maybe 4~ish in the freedom.

I'm 5'9" 175lbs and honestly I love them both.  I kinda miss having a headrest at the office but when I'm at home, I'm kicking back watching TV in that Freedom so that's one of the big reasons I got it.  I have looked at aftermarket headrests for the Leap but haven't really had a huge need to relax at the office.  Mostly upright on a keyboard and this is where the rubber really meets the road for me.

I think that from an ergonomics perspective, the back support is great on both chairs but the way that the backrest pivots and leans with the freedom really plays well into the reclining aspect of the chair.  The Leap doesn't move like that but is still comfortable with good lumbar support.

The leap's lumbar/back rest is more outwardly pronounced which feels like it offers a constant support when I'm sitting upright.  The Freedom has this also but it doesn't protrude out the way the Leap does so that could be seen as a good or bad thing depending on what you want from lumbar support.

I opted for the gel seat on the freedom and it was the right choice.  It's an extra layer of some gel padding on top of the standard foam that otherwise it would have.  It's still not a super thick padding but it's extra squishy and despite not having as much padding depth as the Leap, it's more supportive and comfortable for long durations of sitting.  It's seat can extend in or out for leg length and my Leap is the non-adjustable version but has 2 long screws that screw into a polyurethane track to lock the seat depth in that way.  It's a lot clunkier of a way to do that so if you do go for a Leap, get the one with the adjustable seat depth control as I don't think there is a way to retro fit the adjuster onto this one.  It looks like I can but no idea where to find the parts other than just buying another leap.

The Leap seat itself is comfortable and the seat pan under the cushion flexes and moves with your butt and legs where as the Freedom pan is bit more stiff.  This makes the seat of the Leap feel a bit more "alive" if that makes sense?  On the other hand, it doesn't seem to support the way the freedom seat does and that could absolutely just be because this is a 20 year old chair needing a refreshed cushion material.

Aesthetically, the Freedom is in a class of it's own.  The Leap is a boring beige office chair that spent literally 20 years in a bank.  It's as plain as plain gets but I'm waiting to hear back from Crandall to see about getting it re-upholstered with something a bit more unique and a less cubicle wall feeling (though admittedly extremely durable feeling) fabric.

So yeah.  I love them both but they are very different chairs and each seems to play to it's strengths given the environment I use them in.  If I had it to do over again, I'd probably have gone with a more expensive leather version of the Freedom to be honest.  I wanted to but the thought of paying nearly 2 grand for a chair and then not liking it and being stuck unable to return it would have made me even more sick to my stomach than buying a $1200 chair and being stuck with it.  No one anywhere near me had one to try, not even the local humanscale dealer store I bought it from.

I sat in other chairs though so while we're here I feel like I should briefly touch on them and my thoughts.

**Aeron remastered** - I sat in one for a week every day for 8+ hours at the office.  Very comfortable and a better headrest option from 3rd parties.  I don't mind mesh back chairs but I never really adjusted to the mesh seat.  It feels like sitting in a springy hammock and my butt just prefers a more solid foundation under whatever padding but was never fatigued or uncomfortable.

**Noble Hero/Secretlab Titan** - I sat in both of these for a week also (former coworker was a sponsored streamer who got free chairs).  Neither really offered the lumbar support I wanted.  Both felt like they were built well and offered headrest support but the pillows felt like a cheap work around to a problem that the Freedom with the headrest solved in a very elegant (and more expensive) way.  I would see where people would like the option though to just lean back and not have their head being supported the way the freedom does.  Neither was all that comfortable for longer periods of sitting though.  Not like the other 3 I've mentioned.  Their seats were firm but not in a supportive way for me.

**DX Racer** - Basically a cheaper feeling version of the Titan. Even more uncomfortable seat and back but... I guess it can be had in lots of gamer-y color patterns or designs so I CAN see where that appeal would be a selling point for someone who only wants a very specific aesthetic.

Hello, I'm new, please be gentle.  
I'm on the tall side and looking for an office chair that won't inflict further damage to my back.   
I've seen other posts here regarding  Humanscale Freedoms and Herman Miller Embody, but those chairs cost $1000\~1900, that's just too much for my pocket. 

If anyone has some secret on how to find such/similar chairs at @ $700 or lower, I'd love to read about it. Thank you.

Office chair that's not $1000+ ?

At first I loved it... Now a few months later...

Impractical to return`

Get a real office chair, trust me. Wasted 700 eurs for a noblechairs epic that had so many flaws and in the end broke. Get a Steelcase Series 2 with headrest or a Please V2 for example, they may not look gamer style but your body will thank you because you can adjust so many things on these.

OfficeChair in Germany

 It also makes a noise when I shift my position in the seat as well. This brings some concerns on how long this chair will last. -The seat is not flat: This is my biggest gripe about this chair. The sides of the seat curve upward

 But over long periods of sitting, this causes my hip joints to hurt because of the curvature of the seat. -Backrest tension not very adjustable: This is also pretty frustrating. The backrest tension isn't fully adjustable but instead comes with 3 preset levels. The knob for it is very cool though since it's adjustable from the side of the chair and solidly clicks into the 3 levels

 I find it hurts to sit in this for long periods of time because of the seat shape. The creaking noises are also concerning. If it's possible to return this, I definitely would.

Regret not being able to try the chair before buying

Hello, 

&amp;#x200B;

I am a current M1 and spend hours daily studying and watching lectures. I have been sitting in an Amazon Basics chair for the last four years and I am ready to get a chair that will actually be comfortable to sit in during marathon study sessions. I am 5'8 and 160 lbs. I am not a terribly big person. I do like to play PC games and one major thing for me is having armrests that can fit under my desk or fold back and are out of the way for gaming. 

&amp;#x200B;

Additionally, I watch a lot of lectures daily and I really want head and neck support for when I am sitting there leaning back and watching lectures. Originally, I was going to get some sort of gaming chair since it would be big and I could lean back while watching lectures, but it has become apparent that office chairs are superior to gaming chairs in nearly every way. I do not have a car, but I am at Georgetown University so I am in the DC area and can get around if needed, but would struggle to transport things. Ideally, I would order a chair to my door but I know that is not always possible. 

&amp;#x200B;

I was looking at the Staples Hyken and the Ayalon. It seems people like the Ayalon better but the absence of a headrest is the biggest problem for me. I would love something like the Embody, Aeron, or Leap; however, I cannot afford a new one, and getting it used or from an office liquidator seems a bit tricky for me without a car. I am looking to spend around $300 on a chair, but if I need to go up a little more I will. I am incredibly poor (you should see the loans I had to take out to come here) so it would be really difficult for me to get anything over like $400 or so. I am open to any and all suggestions. I just really want a chair that will last me a while, can support my head and neck and will be comfy for long study sessions.

Chair for a med student that won't break the bank

 After looking at several Steelcase options, I came across the Series 1 and thought it hit all my high points - lower lumbar support, adjustments for seat depth and seat height, and adjustable arms. And best of all the price wasn't super ridiculous. I had been paying around $150 per chair I bought at Office Depot - 3 chairs totaling $450 - the $430 for the Series 1 didn't look so bad. So I took a chance on a $430 chair that had zero reviews

..eek. While totally worth it, in my opinion, I wanted something a little cheaper for my home office

 I also have an Interior Design degree specializing in Commercial office design and have a lot of respect for the Steelcase brand.  That being said, I'm not prepared to spend $950 on a Leap chair..

eek. While totally worth it, in my opinion, I wanted something a little cheaper for my home office.  About 3 months ago I started having problems with my left hip. Like a lot of people, I was using a desk chair I had purchased at Office Depot

 I would absolutely recommend this to anyone that wants a good quality chair by a respected name that will last for several years.

Don't be scared! (Long and honest review)
