Noble Chair Hero

[CocoPlops]

Hello!

I pulled the pin and bought the hero last month, recently ive been getting really bad lower back pain / pain in my hips.

Anyone else having issues like this?

Looking for advice from other chair users in maybe sitting it up better for myself.

thanks

Hopefully my reply isn't too late, I got my Hero at the end of last week. I ended angling the seat back backwards by about 10 or 15 degrees which meant that my weight was better distributed (i.e. the back rest started to do it's job). I've found the chair to be really comfortable (if not a little firm - although I've read it softens up a little bit over time, so I'm not too worried about that).

Can you give a bit more information about how you have the chair set up currently and answer the following questions:
1) Does it feel like your weight is evenly distributed over the chair? If not, where does it feel like the pressure points are, or where isn't it supporting you?
2) With your heels vertically inline with your knees, can you comfortably place your heels flat on the ground without either i) the front of the seat pressing hard against your legs near your knees, or ii) having little or no support from the front of the seat?
3) Are your hips firmly against the back of the chair?
4) When typing, are you pulling yourself forward in your chair, or are you staying properly seated?

Thanks for taking the time to reply!

1 - feels like my body is supported but after a short length of time it feels like my hips are on fire I sat on it for an hour tonight and it feels like someone has taken a golf club to my spine


It does feel like I sink into the chair a fair bit, like my back and legs are at an incline but I can still comfortably put my feet on the floor.

my hips are right into the back of the seat.

I haven’t really used the chair for typing etc just using it mostly for console gaming.
Thanks again

Do you use the cushion that comes with the chair? Can not remember if the Hero comes with one but I tried the Hero chair I am 6'4" and 13 stone and did not like it, I found the chair too deep towards the back where my hips will be and the chair too high off the ground at the height I wanted the chair, I think the thickness of the foam they use in the Hero has something to do with it and it is a firm foam too

I feel like I’m sinking right into the back of the chair exactly how you’re describing it!
