Humanscale Freedom review

The commenter owns a Humanscale Freedom chair and loves the self-adjusting recline mechanism that doesn't require any manual adjustments or levers. They paid around $1000 and feel it's been worth it for the intuitive design and excellent build quality. The chair automatically adjusts to their body weight and movements, which they find more natural than having to manually set recline tension. They've owned it for about three years and it still works perfectly with no maintenance needed. They appreciate that it has fewer adjustment options because the automatic features work so well, making it less complicated while still being highly ergonomic.

Pros

  • Self-adjusting recline mechanism works intuitively
  • No manual adjustments or levers needed
  • Excellent build quality
  • Automatically adjusts to body weight and movements
  • Still works perfectly after 3 years
  • No maintenance needed

Cons

  • Expensive at around $1000
