Summary

A motorised, deep-reclining chair whose comfort many users like, while seat and durability views split.

Best for

  • People who recline a lot; the back goes from 105° to 160°.
  • Those who want a powered backrest that shapes to the back as they move.
  • Buyers who want a choice of 45 cm or 48 cm seat depth.

Good to check first

  • LiberNovo rates the chair to 300 lb (136 kg by BIFMA).
  • Very tall? Choose the 48 cm seat; some users found the standard seat short.
  • The motorised backrest runs on a battery that LiberNovo says lasts up to 30 days.

The trade-off

Lots of movement and adjustment, but users are split on the seat cushion and long-term build.

What LiberNovo highlights

  • Bionic FlexFit backrest

    A motor system drives the backrest into an S-curve. LiberNovo says it keeps the back aligned as you move.

  • Dynamic support

    The support adjusts as you change position, from the headrest to the armrests. LiberNovo presents this as support that follows you.

  • OmniStretch

    A motorised lumbar stretch mode works while you lean back. LiberNovo offers it as a way to relax between tasks.

  • 105° to 160° recline

    The back reclines through five positions. The headrest and backrest tilt by different amounts to keep your view of the screen steady.

  • Sliding 4D armrests

    The armrests adjust in four directions and slide back 100 mm. LiberNovo says this keeps them out of the way when you recline.

Who it suits, who it doesn't

  • Suits Medium build, moderate use: An owner of similar height and weight to another poster reported the chair fit well and was comfortable for typical work sessions over two weeks.
  • Suits Tall user: A very tall owner found it extremely comfortable in-store and the most comfortable chair they'd tried, though the store lacked the size variant designed for their height.
  • Suits Heavier, extended sessions: A user working from home full-time with heavy daily use reported it held up well over eight months with no component issues.
  • Less suited to Very tall users: One very tall owner noted the seat depth was insufficient and the chair didn't fully support shoulders, causing them to slide forward and creating pressure points.
  • Less suited to Shorter users: A reviewer mentioned the headrest was too tall for shorter users and didn't adjust downward enough, and the lower backrest created a gap with insufficient lumbar push.

Where users disagree

  • Seat cushion quality

    One side: Some called it the most plush seat they'd ever experienced and very comfortable for extended use.

    Other side: Others reported it compressed quickly, bottomed out, or was too firm, with some needing replacement cushions to make it acceptable.

  • Value for money

    One side: Many felt it offered excellent value compared to premium brands at half the cost and was one of their best investments.

    Other side: Others questioned whether the features justified the price, felt it wasn't worth full retail, or regretted not spending more on higher quality.

  • Build durability

    One side: Several owners reported the chair held up well over many months with no loosening or breaking, praising the solid construction.

    Other side: Others experienced creaking, loose adjustments, mechanical failures within a year, or expressed concerns about plastic components wearing out.

  • Lumbar support effectiveness

    One side: Some found it excellent, highly adjustable, and effective for daily use over extended periods.

    Other side: Others felt it was inadequate, didn't suit their back well, or required foam inserts to provide proper support.

  • Long-term comfort

    One side: Many reported sustained comfort over months, with one surviving a four-hour meeting without any pain or cushion flattening.

    Other side: A smaller group experienced comfort degrading over weeks or months, developing lower back or hip discomfort they attributed to the chair.
