I swapped my $1,000+ office chair for its manual successor — and it’s actually better

The LiberNovo Omni SE office chair in front of a desk.

The LiberNovo Omni was a surprise hit last year, combining ergonomics and comfort without compromising on either. Following its success, LiberNovo is back with a new version of the Omni that retains the original’s design and key features, but at a more affordable — yet still premium — price.

The LiberNovo Omni SE ditches its predecessor’s electronic adjustments and battery pack for a more manual approach. Instead of pressing buttons on the left armrest to adjust the lumbar support mechanism, you now use a knob behind the backrest. While you do lose access to the original’s spinal stretch functionality, there’s also no battery to charge and no electronic parts to worry about breaking in the long run.
