Humanscale Freedom review

The commenter tried this chair at a showroom and loved the automatic recline mechanism that adjusts based on your weight. The self-adjusting recline worked perfectly for them without any manual adjustments needed. The seat was very comfortable and the armrests felt natural. However, the price was quite high and they ultimately went with a different chair. If money wasn't a concern, they would have bought this one. They think the no-adjustment design actually works better than the Cosm because it dynamically adjusts rather than being fixed.

Pros

  • Automatic recline adjusts to weight perfectly
  • Self-adjusting works without manual intervention
  • Very comfortable seat
  • Natural feeling armrests
  • Better than Cosm for dynamic adjustment

Cons

  • Very expensive
