When sitting at a desk for hours at a time, it is important to have not only a comfortable chair, but also one that is ergonomically designed to keep your body from getting sore or out of alignment. Over the years and decades, I have had many different chairs both at work and at home. Some are better than others. However, I am always looking for a better chair. Therefore, when I learned about the C7 Max by Flexispot, a brand I have been impressed with in the past, I wanted to give it a sit down.
What Is the FlexiSpot C7 Max Premium Ergonomic Office Chair?
FlexiSpot is a furniture manufacturer that not only makes ergonomic desk chairs, but also recliners, sofas, standing desks, and even adjustable beds. The C7 Max is one of their top of the line models. Let’s take a look at its features starting with the top. It has a 3D headrest that can be adjusted up or down over 2 inches along with two pivot points allowing it to rotate and tilt it to fit your needs. The upper backrest can be adjusted up and down through five settings while supporting the natural curvature of the spine and helps you maintain a healthy posture.
Below the backrest, the dynamic adaptive lumbar support eases lower back pressure while reducing irritation to the sciatic nerve when sitting for long periods. As we get down to the seat, it can be moved forward and back 1.6 inches to help reduce leg fatigue by relieving thigh pressure and improving blood circulation. For the seat, you can choose between a latex seat cushion or a DuPont mesh with increased breathability.
The C7 Max features what FlexiSpot calls 5D armrests. They can raise and lower 3.15 inches and rotate at the top of the support as well as where the pad connects to the arm on the support. This allows an incredible amount of flexibility. You can essentially extend the rests forward or back, move them away from or towards your body, and even angle them towards each other to support your arms while your hands are clasped together.
There is an option to include a footrest. This extends out from below the seat and rotates to support your legs horizontally. The footrest is padded and extends to your calves or ankles depending on the length of your legs. Combined with the ability to tilt the backrest back, this turns your desk chair into recliner. Continuing all the way to the bottom, the legs at the base have footpads molded into the legs so you can rest your feet on them.
The C7 Max is currently available directly from FlexiSpot. The chair is currently on sale and starts at $429.99 and shipping is free. If you want to upgrade it, the mesh seat is an additional $20 and the footrest adds $40. FlexiSpot includes a 10-year warranty.
Why You Should Get the FlexiSpot C7 Max Premium Ergonomic Office Chair
I recently had the opportunity to review the E7 Plus Max Standing Desk and have been very impressed with it. With a new desk, I really needed a new chair. When I received the C7 Max, it came well packaged in the box with plenty of padding and protection for the latex foam seat and mesh back. The instructions for assembly were easy to follow and it even included an allen wrench for the screws. Once it was assembled, I put it to use. I have been using it for a couple weeks and it has become my favorite chair. I like the ability to adjust it just how I want it. The arm rests are incredibly versatile. I can rotate them and move them just how I want. When typing I keep them apart and at the level of my desk. However, when playing video games with a controller, I can move them towards each other to better support my forearms.
The latex foam seat stays surprisingly cool and is quite comfortable. However, I think my favorite feature are the footrests. After a day at work, I like to sit in a recliner and put my feet up. However, if I still need to do some desk work, I can now still put my feet up while sitting at the desk. In fact, as I write this article, I am sitting most comfortably with my legs up on the footrest. I have even reclined back with my feet up and taken a nap in the chair. Finally, the C7 Max is well made. This chair has some weight to it and has sturdy construction. I can truthfully state that the C7 Max is my new favorite chair. If you are in the market for a standing desk, then I highly recommend considering the C7 Max Ergonomic Office Chair.
