Neutral Posture 8000 Chair Features
Contoured high back for exceptional upper back and lumbar support
Inflatable air lumbar support
Adjustable back height and angle
Adjustable arm height, width and 360º arm pad rotation
Plastic outer shell on back, or upholster the back as an upgrade
Forward tilt-stop comes standard on a multi-function mechanism with a seat slider
Choose from two different mechanisms that determine the adjustability and range of movement for your chair. The multi-function mechanism tilts from the center of the chair and offers extra ergonomic adjustments.
The knee-tilt mechanism rocks from just under the knee. When the knee-tilt mechanism is used in conjunction with the back angle adjustment, the chair can rock further back allowing you to take a break and reduce the pressure on your spine. The knee-tilt comes standard with a shorter cylinder, and this allows for tilting way back without putting pressure on the back of your legs.

Seat
Neutral Posture offers a variety of seats and seat contours to suit every body. The reason for considering a more contoured seat is that it distributes body weight more evenly, reducing major pressure points. Contouring also encourages you to sit back in your seat for better posture; this helps reduce upper body stress. We recommend that most users select at least a moderately contoured seat. Neutral Posture's medium and high contoured seats spread your body weight out much better than a traditionally contoured seat, reducing pressure points that come from sitting for long hours. The NPS8000 series chairs offer six different seats and contours to fit your body size and sitting habits.
If you'd like a softer seat or a further reduction in seated pressure, a seat cushion can be ordered with a layer of N'Dulgent memory foam. If you're ordering one of the minimally contoured seats, we strongly recommend adding the N'Dulgent foam.
Back
The NPS8000 seat back has additional options as well.
Choose from a plastic shell or a fully upholstered seat back
Add a thoracic support to encourage good posture and reduce upper body pain
Optional N'dulgent memory foam adds a layer of comfort for a softer, cushiony feel without compromising support
Chair can be ordered without seat slider and lumbar support
