Humanscale Freedom Chair with Headrest designed by Niels Diffrient Sharing the same characteristics of the Freedom Chair that made it an ergonomic success, this headrest-toting version offers the high performance you expect with added support for your head. With innovative recline that provides constant support and a pivoting backrest that automatically adjusts to the needs of the spine, the Freedom chair is exceptionally comfortable and promotes movement throughout the day. Its refined and sculpted cushions were designed to mimic the bodys natural contours and decrease pressure point loads for premium comfort. Like all Humanscale chairs, the Freedom chair was designed to look and function like new after years of consistent use. Features:Articulating Headrest: The Freedom chair features a dynamic, articulating headrest to support the head and neck as users recline. It moves with the sitter, so they can change postures without making manual adjustments and stay comfortable in any position.Self Adjusting Recline: Freedom eliminates the need for traditional recline mechanisms, which can be bulky and weigh up to 15 pounds. Instead, Freedom uses the sitters body weight and the laws of physics to perfectly and automatically adjust recline support for each individual.Synchronous Armrests: Freedoms body-friendly armrests move up and down together, staying with the user during recline for continuous comfort and support. Unlike other chair designs, Freedoms armrests are attached to the back of the chair to ensure synchronous use. The Bottom line: You cant argue with the comfort. This is a unique and very comfortable desk chair. It may surprise you to hear that Humanscale doesnt really consider itself to be a furniture company. They make furniture, of course, but rather than calling themselves a furniture company, they call themselves an ergonomics company. There isnt an organization out there more committed, driven, and knowledgable about the field of ergonomics than Humanscale. Humanscale stands for ergonomic furniture. The Freedom Chair is what you might call their Magnum Opus (thus far). Materials: The graphite and titanium bases are made of hard plastic to match the plastic frame of the chair. The base is also available in polished aluminum. The seat comes in standard foam or a marvelous Technogel (even better than a bicycle seat) over a thin polyurethane foam. Armpads are available with Duron covers over foam (Duron is a soft urethane
