OVERVIEW

TECHNOLOGY AND FEATURES

smartx3D: OFFERS UNPRECEDENTED COMFORT AND DURABILITY

Our innovative smartx3D fabric offers unprecedented comfort and durability. This advanced fabric utilizes a three-layer technology that incorporates a unique air channel middle layer that draws heat and moisture away from the material. Soft, breathable, and with moisture-wicking properties, smartx3D offers the ultimate in comfort.

SMARTX3D AND SMARTGEL: THE PERFECT COMBINATION

smartx3D and smartGEL work together to deliver superior comfort and support through gel-infused visco foam that draws heat away and reduces surface temperature. Soft yet highly resilient, smartGEL offers higher Indent Force Deflection and density for long-lasting performance.

THE ONE-HAND QUICK RELEASE

Allows the back support to be easily removed from the chair.

PELVIC POSITIONING CUT-OUT

Provides a space for the buttocks to protrude beyond the back for a better, more natural seated position.

LOW PIVOT POINT

This allows you to support the pelvis while adjusting recline and reduces the movement of the pelvis affected by angle adjustment of the hardware.

CUSTOMIZABLE LATERAL CONTOUR

Lateral contours can be bent in or out for better postural control and a customized fit.

STABILITY, SYMMETRY & SHOULDER FREEDOM

Supports the spinal column within the “Scapula Triangle” which improves shoulder freedom and head control.
