Dynamic lumbar support

The Intuition Chair's dynamic lumbar support moves and self-adjusts to support the lower back as you change positions in the chair. No need to fiddle with lumbar depth; it adjusts automatically and is very supportive.

Simply move the seat back to the correct height for your body with the lumbar support in the lower curve of your back.

The lumbar support comfortably maintains this natural curve, an integral feature of any ergonomic office chair.

Infinite recline positions

An advanced reclining back with infinite locking positions and tension adjustment supports the whole torso at the perfect angle to reduce load on the lower back.

The Intuition Chair is the first UPLIFT Desk chair that reclines up to 45°, with infinite lockability all along the way.

There are no predetermined recline positions. Lock it at the angle that feels right, and it stays put.

Synchro-tilt mechanism

Recline comfortably with the Italian-built synchro-tilt mechanism. The mechanism's auto weight sensing capabilities allow the backrest to tilt freely, or users can lock it into one of four positions.

It synchronizes the chair back and seat to move at a 2:1 ratio. For every 2° the back tilts, the seat tilts 1°, keeping feet flat on the floor for the most comfortable and supportive seated position. Not often found on chairs in this price range, the synchro-tilt mechanism delivers intuitive ergonomics.

Cool & supportive mesh

The Intuition Ergonomic Chair is literally one of our coolest chairs. 

The firm yet comfortable mesh panels on the seat, back, and headrest are exceptionally breathable, keeping you both cool and supported. The flexible mesh flexes to the contours of the body.

Adjustable seat depth

A seat slider allows the Intuition Chair's seat depth to be adjusted for the perfect ergonomic fit.

If you have longer legs, extend the seat depth for extra leg support. For shorter legs, reduce the seat depth to avoid nerve pressure on the back of the knee.

Ergonomic chair adjustment tips

Ergonomics explained: the science of optimizing workspaces, tools, and systems to fit the people who use them. Discover the perfect ergonomic office chair position tailored to you.

  1. Set the chair height so your feet rest flat on the floor, with your knees comfortably bent at about a 90° angle.

  2. Sit with your back fully supported by the backrest, and adjust the seat depth to maintain about an inch of space between the back of your knees and the seat cushion, ensuring no pressure on the backs of your knees.

  3. Position the armrests at elbow height, so your forearms form a comfortable 90° angle.

  4. Set the recline and tilt tension to ease the load on your lower back. A tilt angle of around 110° is ideal for comfortable mouse and keyboard use.

  5. Vertically adjust the lumbar support to align with your lower back, ensuring it follows the natural curve of your spine.

  6. Headrest (if applicable) - To adjust a headrest for optimal comfort, start by raising or lowering it so the curved part supports the base of your skull, keeping your neck in a neutral position. Adjust the depth and angle to ensure it gently cradles your head without pushing it forward or backward. Finally, fine-tune the position until it provides natural, comfortable support for both your head and neck.

  7. Keep moving to stay active! Aim to stand up every hour to break up long periods of sitting—an adjustable height standing desk is perfect for this. Remember: the best posture is always your next one.
