Summary

The lower-priced E3, with a floating-wing lumbar, a 4D headrest and 360° armrests.

Best for

  • Heights 5'1" to 6'5", HBADA's recommended range.
  • Buyers who want an adjustable headrest and lumbar wings below the E3 Pro's list price.
  • Reclining; the back locks at five levels up to 140°.
  • Users up to 330 lb, HBADA's stated maximum load.

Good to check first

  • The armrest pads rotate 360°; for arms that also swivel at the body, look at the E3 Pro's 720° arms.
  • Choose with or without the footrest at checkout; it is a separate option.
  • The chair arrives mostly built; you attach the base, seat and backrest.
  • Keep the original box for 30 days; returns without it may carry a fee.

What HBADA highlights

  • 3-zone floating-wing lumbar

    The side wings rotate up to 40° in three steps. The lumbar moves 5 cm in height and 3 cm forward and back, with 12° of spring-based give. HBADA says it adapts as you move.

  • 4D dual-axis headrest

    The headrest frame and axis each rotate 70°, with 4 cm of height and 7 cm of forward-back travel. HBADA says it supports the neck and shoulders.

  • 360° armrests

    The pads rotate 360°, and the arms move 7 cm in height and 10 cm forward and back. HBADA says they adjust from all angles.

  • Five-level tilt lock

    The back locks at five levels up to 140°. HBADA describes it as moving from focused work to a full recline.

  • Back height and seat depth

    The backrest moves 8 cm in height and the seat 5 cm in depth. HBADA says this suits a wide range of body types.
