I tested a smart office chair that takes the guesswork out of ergonomics but it doesn’t come cheap

The Hbada X7 office chair in front of a desk.

The Hbada X7 couldn’t be farther from your standard office chair. For starters, it features an almost all-mesh design with a floating wing-style lumbar support. Not to mention its pullout footrest and 6D armrests. On another office chair, these would be the standout features but with the X7, we’re just getting started as this is a smart ergonomic chair.

So what makes it smart? Well, that would be the automotive-grade chip housed within its lumbar support module. Then there’s the power management system housed in the base of the X7’s seat and a slide-out 5,200 mAh battery. All of this extra tech powers the chair’s AI lumbar-tracking but it can also warm you up, cool you down and even give you a massage to help alleviate back pain and fatigue so you can comfortably extend your workday — or a marathon gaming session — even longer.
