Know before you buy
Unlike traditional chairs that use a rigid frame, the Wave Suspension system acts like a flexible spine. It moves with your body to distribute weight evenly across the entire back, providing continuous support without the need for constant manual adjustments.
No, the chair arrives fully assembled. You can begin using it immediately after removing it from the packaging.
Yes, the 4D armrests are highly versatile. They can be adjusted for height, width, depth, and pivot angle, allowing you to find the perfect position to support your forearms whether you are typing, reading, or leaning back.
The Fern is built to accommodate a wide range of body types with a weight capacity of 325 lbs. The seat depth and height are adjustable, though users significantly taller than 6'4" may want to verify the maximum seat height of 21.5 inches against their desk setup.
Yes, the chair features adjustable tilt tension, allowing you to control how much resistance you feel when reclining. You can also opt for the forward tilt feature, which helps maintain a healthy posture when you are leaning into your work.
The Fern comes with a sophisticated back design that provides inherent support, but it also includes an optional adjustable lumbar support piece. This allows you to fine-tune the pressure in your lower back area for a more personalized fit.
