Two people are sharing this chair
We've had the Libernovo Omni for about two months now so we wanted to share our experience because it's been pretty interesting seeing how the same chair feels on two very different body types.
I'm 6ft and around 176lbs, and she's 5'6" and about 116lbs. I'm the one who mainly uses the chair since I work from home most of the week, but she ends up stealing it pretty often too.
Honestly, the whole reason I started looking for a new chair this year was because my lower back and shoulders were getting wrecked from sitting all day. I spent way too much time researching chairs and comparing stuff like Herman Miller, Steelcase, etc. Eventually landed on Libernovo mainly because the balance between price, features, and generally positive user reviews.
I went with the 48cm seat depth, and it feels big enough for me to sit comfortably. My girlfriend fits it well too, although she's smaller than I am, so she still has enough room to sit cross-legged sometimes, which is probably her favorite way to use the chair.
I did see some comments before buying where people mentioned feeling like they were sliding forward or that the seat felt too short. I do get what people mean about the slight sliding feeling. But adding a footrest made a big difference. I've gotten a lot more used to it now.
The seat cushion is probably both of our favorite part of the chair. It's much softer than most chairs I've tried before, but even after sitting for long hours, neither of us really gets that sore or numb feeling in the hips that I used to get with my previous chairs. It's a nice balance between soft and supportive.
I've actually found myself using the second recline position the most, especially with the footrest. That setup just hits a really nice balance for me. Comfortable enough to stay relaxed when I'm at it for hours, but not so comfortable that I start feeling sleepy. The 4th recline position, though, is definitely my girlfriend's favorite. She literally uses the chair to watch movies sometimes and keeps saying it's more comfortable than our recliners in the living room.
Overall, I'm satisfied with the purchase. It's the first chair I've owned that actually made a noticeable difference for my back on long work days. But I feel like my timing might be perfect with the Libernovo Maxis coming out for someone my size. I might just give this one to my girlfriend.
