LiberNovo Omni Review: The Ultimate Motorized Office Chair
▼ Summary
– The Omni chair features an attractive design with a spine-like backrest resembling the Herman Miller Embody and is available in Midnight Black or Space Gray, supporting up to 300 pounds.
– It has exceptionally soft, multi-density sponge cushioning in the seat and backrest that is plush without being overly thick, providing lasting comfort.
– The fabric upholstery collects hair and may cause warmth or sweat in hot environments, lacking the breathability of mesh but outperforming vegan leather gaming chairs.
– The armrests offer standard adjustments for height, position, and angle but lack lateral movement, and they are stable with durable material, priced at $1,099 MSRP but often on sale for $848.
– Its key feature is the Bionic FlexFit Backrest, powered by a battery-operated ErgoPulse Motor System for easy adjustment and includes buttons for height control and a spinal massage function.
Finding the perfect office chair that combines exceptional comfort with innovative features can transform your daily work experience, and the LiberNovo Omni aims to do just that with its motorized design. This chair elevates standard office furniture with a sophisticated aesthetic, featuring a backrest whose design language subtly mirrors the spine-like appearance of premium models like the Herman Miller Embody. Available in two color options, Midnight Black and Space Gray, the Omni is engineered to comfortably support individuals weighing up to 300 pounds.
The seating experience is immediately noticeable for its plush quality. The multi-density sponge cushioning in both the seat and backrest provides a remarkably soft feel without the sensation of sinking, thanks to its intelligent composition that avoids excessive thickness. This balance results in a surprising level of comfort that remains impressive even after extended use over several weeks.
Durability and fabric performance are always considerations with new furniture. Thus far, the material maintains its like-new appearance after nearly a month of regular use, though it does tend to attract and hold onto lint and hair. Assessing breathability is somewhat challenging during cooler seasons, but a slight warmth builds against the back after sitting for a few hours. Those working in warmer climates might find it leads to perspiration. While it performs better than the non-breathable vegan leather common on many gaming chairs, it doesn’t offer the same level of airflow as a true mesh fabric.
The armrests provide standard adjustability, allowing movement up and down, forward and backward, and inward or outward angling. They lack the ability to slide closer to or farther from the body, a feature found on some higher-end chairs, but this is typical for its market position. The chair carries a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $1,099, though it frequently appears on sale for $848. A positive aspect is their stability; they do not shift or slide during use, a common frustration with many office chairs. The armrest material itself strikes a good balance, feeling neither too hard nor flimsy, and appears quite durable.
A standout feature is the Bionic FlexFit Backrest, which utilizes a battery-powered ErgoPulse Motor System for personalized configuration. This motorized technology automatically adjusts the backrest to align perfectly with the contours of your spine, eliminating the need to manually adjust a traditional lumbar support mechanism. Control is conveniently located on the left armrest, which houses three buttons. The first two buttons raise and lower the backrest support, while the third activates a built-in spinal massage function.
