After the success of his Humanscale Freedom chair, designer Neils Diffrient came back to the drawing board with ideas on how to further tailor his ergonomic chairs to the human form. The Humanscale Liberty chair is the result. Using a tri-panel mesh back with form-sensing technology the Liberty chair hugs the contours of your body without the need for user adjustments. The design provides optimized lumbar support for everyone without a single manual adjustment. Ergonomic Chair Pro is an Authorized Dealer of the Humanscale Liberty chair and all Humanscale products. The Humanscale Liberty chair has a limited lifetime warranty and a 5-year warranty on fabric and cushions. Humanscale only recognizes warranties on Liberty chairs purchased from Authorized Dealers. Every Humanscale Liberty Chair ships free within the continental United States.

The Liberty arms are very unique. Aside from several different armpads to choose from, fixed or adjustable arms are available as well. The height adjustable arms lower down to the seat cushion and out of the way while working at a desk or on a keyboard tray.
Our recommendation: Most people will benefit from having adjustable arms
Arm Pads
The Liberty's thin seat cushion is designed specifically for long-term sitting comfort, whether with the double foam seat or the optional Technogel cushion that maximizes weight distribution and comfort.

Our recommendation: The gel seat has a firmer "sit" that takes a few minutes to warm up and get soft. If you sit all day and have back problems, you'll likely love it. If you are up and down more, you may prefer the standard foam cushioning.
The standard cylinder on the Liberty fits most of our users, but taller and shorter individuals might want to opt for the tall or short cylinder to make sure their legs get the support they need.
Cylinder | Height Range |
---|---|
Standard | 16 - 21 inch seat height |
Low | 15.25 - 19 inch seat height |
Tall | 17 - 22.25 inch seat |
