Cooler Master Hybrid 1 comfort and adjustment
The Hybrid 1 is one size but very adjustable and can be used by people of different heights. For example, the lumbar support moves in four directions so you can place it exactly where you need it and how much you need it. I found this very thoughtful as many chairs are only designed for his one body type.
The armrests move up and down, forward and back, and rotate. What I didn’t like was that the fore and aft movement of the armrests didn’t lock in place and tended to move when I got up from the chair.
The headrests on the Hybrid 1 looked like they had been scraped off the car. Rather than rubber-bound foam pillows, the chair has a solid, bolted-on headrest. The curved shape can slide up and down to suit your height. This is very different from other chairs I’ve tested, and I found the pillows to shift.
The seat is wide and almost flat so you can wiggle around the room instead of trying to cup your tutu. We admit it. It’s also one of the few chairs where you can comfortably sit cross-legged. yes. I am short.
The chair can swing or be fixed in a stable position. And if you need to take a nap at your desk, you can recline it almost 180 degrees.
