Chair for someone 5”5?

ussjtrunks · 17 Jul 2018 at 02:01

Had been looking at the noble chairs but they do seem rather high especially the back rest, would the new hero or icon chairs be ok for all 5”5 of me or would they simply be too large.

Also what other brands should I look at that could be a better fit?

Hi and welcome to the forums

As a bit of a shorty myself I empathise. Have you considered just buying a shorter gas lift? Most chairs use the standard fittings so then you could buy any chair you want and then swap the gas lift over.

Or if you really fancy a gaming chair from OCUK then you could buy a replacement at the same time

My basket at Overclockers UK:

1 x noblechairs Short Gas Lift Replacement (-15mm)= £24.95

Total: £24.95 (includes shipping: £0.00)

Surely some kind of tuffet would suffice

Mothercare have got some good deals on highchairs.

think I'll go with the -30 gas lift should give me a lot of room to play with, its a shame they don't let you order the chair with the one you want instead of spending extra though. anyone have experiance with the shorter gas lifts do they still raise the chair 10cm?

You could phone and ask them to swap it over for you without paying extra, Customer service at OCUK is very good.

Have you tried the Ikea Markus - if you have an Ikea close then you can at least try one out first

I'm not much taller just buy the cheap AmazonBasics Foot Rest or similar I'm using it with the nobel epic chair jobs a good un

Do noblechairs offer seat size options? it isn't just height that's the issue...it's the seat digging into the back of your knees if it's too big.

Second that, the Markus is worth the money, I went with the material one over the leather one, very comfortable.
