The chair features a contoured mid-back design that supports the natural curve of your spine, promoting good posture and reducing the risk of back pain.

The seat cushion is made of high-density foam, which provides excellent support and resists compression over time.

The chair is also equipped with a tilt mechanism that allows you to adjust the angle of the seat and backrest for optimal comfort.

Chair Functions:
Forward Tilt Lockout:
allows users to engage or lockout Forward Tilt feature. Forward Tilt Function allows the chair to tilt forward so the user may achieve a comfortable working position that maintains proper circulation, reducing pressure on legs and thighs.

How To Adjust the Ultimate Executive Office Chairs

These chair adjustments are aimed at promoting comfort and support during prolonged sitting and to alleviate pain.

Add More Comfort & Get Pain Relief

Every person is unique so a “one size fits all” option shouldn’t really be an option at all. The LIFEFORM® modular design allows people of all different shapes and sizes to create an ergonomic chair so they can sit comfortably. Whether you need support for an existing condition, a past trauma, prevent injury or simply want to find a chair that fits you right – small and narrow or you’re big & tall. We can help you get the best fit, unique to you.

Deep Seat

Overall, the Deep Seat option is an excellent choice for those who value comfort, posture, and accessibility. With its extra depth and width, this seat option can provide a more comfortable and supportive sitting experience, while also offering a range of health benefits. A wider and deeper seat option. Pronounced contouring (24”W x 20”D). Available only with Memory Foam.

Coccyx (Rear Seat) Cut Out

Consider choosing a chair with a coccyx rear seat cutout to relieve pressure and pain on your tailbone, especially if you experience sciatic pain or have a bulging disc in your lower back. The coccyx cutout provide multiple benefits, including alleviating pressure on the tailbone, improving posture, and providing additional support, which can reduce discomfort, pain, and stiffness in the lower back and hips.

Core-Flex® Dual Flex Seat

Increased circulation by incorporating a small range of natural motion into a chair so core muscles are stimulated allows for improved comfort. Research also shows that movement is also important for thinking and creativity, spinal fitness, and the maintenance of a healthy metabolism. *Not combinable with Coccyx (rear seat) cut out

360º Extension Arm

Gives you 360 degree adjustment - allowing you to set the arm pads close to your body or position them in front of you to rest on while you type, etc.

Introducing The New LIFEFORM® Palisades Executive Mid-Back

PALISADES
Mid-Back Office Chair

An instant classic

Innovative design and the usual superior ergonomic support you’ve come to expect from LIFEFORM®, combined into a new modern, streamlined look: all at our most affordable price.

Our new weight-activated flex mechanism regulates the force needed to recline the chair based on body weight. So it automatically adjusts to every user. Every time. The height-adjustable backrest and lumbar support ensure you have the right support where you need it.

With an upholstered backrest, Schukra® lumbar adjustment and multi-function arm pads, the new Palisades Executive Mid-Back adjusts to your body the moment you take a seat. The chrome base also gives it a more contemporary look. The durable frame is coupled with an engineered composite seat to ensure a strong, balanced foundation.

KEY FEATURES & BENEFITS

Recline In Comfort

It’s time to lean back. With our Palisades Executive Mid-Back ergonomic office chair, we’re focused on functionality, versatility and comfort. How the chair adjusts to you, the ergonomic support it gives and how it promotes your well-being are all important. It’s not all about doing. Sometimes you just need to relax and do some deep thinking. Fine-tune the tension and relax.

Ergonomic Back Support

Style can be this comfortable. The upholstered backrest gently conforms to your body's contours. Combined with the ratchet back height adjustment, the lumbar support provides ergonomic stability right where you need it. Customizable to fit virtually every height, the Palisades Mid-Back office chair offers unsurpassed comfort and style.

Not everyone sits the same way - the tilt lock feature allows the chair to be reclined and locked. So you can sit back when you’re not focused on a task, which also encourages blood flow through the pelvis.

Seat Adjusts For The Perfect Fit

Uncompromised comfort is an essential element for all-day concentration. The contoured seat is designed to redistribute the body’s weight over a large area. For taller users, the seat-slider allows you to adjust seat depth up to 2” forward. Optimum seated position should be a minimum space of two finger widths behind the knee, which encourages blood flow behind the knees. The forward tilt also gives you the freedom to change tasks easily while the seat moves with you.

Arm Adjustment

You don’t keep your arms in the same position all day. That’s why the Palisades Mid-Back ergonomic office chair armrest is ready to move with you. Easily adjust the height, width, angle and length of our arm pads to better support you and reduce tension in your wrists and shoulders.
