It does a great job of whisking heat away from my body, though not as well as mesh backrests and seats. The seat feels rigid at first but eventually becomes surprisingly pillowy, and the armrests stay firmly in place. Its upright positioning supported my back and eased lingering back pain from sitting in a cheap gaming chair. It might take you a week or two (maybe even a month) to get used to the Herman Miller Embody, but it's well worth it. If you're short, contact customer support while ordering-Mavix offers shorter cylinders so your feet touch the ground. The mesh back and wide seat construction keep you cool and comfortable during a sweaty session of League of Legends, and the lumbar support makes me feel like I'm in good hands. The M7 has similarly adjustable armrests and seat angles, but you get wheels that lock. I ran into some issues with assembly, but customer service was able to exchange our model without much effort. The chair is also very expensive.Ī Familiar Pick: The Mavix M7 ($778) looks strangely similar to the X-Chair, and that's because both are owned by the same company. The only things I dislike? X-Chair offers up various cooling, heating, and massage attachments, but I didn't find them all that helpful.

Most people should be fine with the standard X1. But it was too wide for my partner, who is 5'1'. I tested the X-2 K-Sport with the wide seat, and it fit my 6'4' frame really well. Speaking of which, X-Chair has a number of models to choose from. If you want to rest your head, you can pay extra for the headrest. The lumbar support feels like a cushion, and it adjusts as you move in your seat. Pull the seat up and push the armrests up, down, and side to side, or angle them in or out. Who doesn't want that? Every part of my body feels well supported, and you can adjust nearly everything on the chair. It also feels like you're sitting on a hammock. It doesn't just have a mesh backrest, but the seat is mesh too, allowing for excellent airflow. Thick foam seats often trap your body heat, especially during the summer months.
