The Omni seems good. It is a step up out of your common workplace chair design, with a bit of sophistication and a design language on the backrest that resembles the spine-like look of the Herman Miller Embody. It is available in Midnight Black or House Grey (artistic names), and my unit is the latter. The corporate says the Omni can assist individuals as much as 300 kilos.
I do not suppose I’ve sat on an workplace chair with softer padding than the Omni. The multi-density sponge cushion materials of the seat and backrest is plush with out feeling such as you’re sinking in, as a result of it is not tremendous thick. It’s totally snug, and the softness of the fabric continues to be what surprises me essentially the most in regards to the Omni after sitting on it for weeks.
It’s going to be attention-grabbing to see how the material holds up after greater than a 12 months of use. To date, it nonetheless seems nice after near a month of sitting, although it likes to gather hair. It is laborious to gauge breathability as we’re now within the cooler months, however my again feels slightly heat after a number of hours on the chair. In the event you’re in a scorching atmosphere, you may probably really feel sweaty. It isn’t as dangerous because the vegan leather-covered foam on most gaming chairs, nevertheless it will not supply the breathability of a true mesh.
The armrests aren’t a lot to write down house about—you’ll be able to transfer them up or down, ahead and again, and angle them inward or outward. You may’t push them towards or away out of your physique like on the Embody, however that is customary for a chair at this worth (which is $1,099 MSRP, although the corporate appears to have a persistent sale of $848). I recognize that the arms do not simply shift or slide round, which is a typical downside with many chairs. The armrest itself is not too laborious, and the fabric feels pretty sturdy.

The Bionic FlexFit Backrest is the Omni’s spotlight, which makes use of the battery-powered ErgoPulse Motor System for configuration. It is primarily a motorized means to make sure the backrest strains up completely in opposition to your again; no have to fiddle round with an ungainly lumbar assist. There are three buttons on the left armrest. The entrance two shift the backrest assist up or down, and the third is a spinal therapeutic massage perform, which I am going to deal with later.
