Hi all

I am considering getting a Noble Hero Black (not the Black Edition with the new PU) and would be grateful if you would share your experience with how long the regular PU lasted before it started looking worse for wear.

Also would be handy to know how long it took for the reportedly hard seat to become comfy.

Thanks for your help!
 
Thank you for your helpful reply - much appreciated.

It's really good news about the PU - I realise mileage may vary, but 4 years seems pretty fair to me!

I too prefer a firm chair but was somewhat concerned about the common complaints about the chair's seat. I am one of those people who can't sit on a park bench for long because my butt bones feel like they are getting bruised lol.

I think I will order the chair - one of the main reasons being that I can try it for a month and return it for free if needed. I have not noticed that offer anywhere else. I so miss the old days where i could visit several shops and actually try chairs out first....

Thanks again for your help :)
 
Typical - my timing sucks. Just went to order the Hero Black Edition and found that the sale for it had ended. Talked with a very helpful staff member (Oliver - who gave me absolutely loads of details when I phoned a couple of days ago - top marks!) but unfortunately nowt could be done. Will have to keep an eye out for future sales.

A huge plus to all of this is that at least I now know which chair I want to try!
 
Nope - I'm being a muppet. Just found some prices I'd scribbled down over the weekend. The Black edition was not on sale at all - doh. It would cost about £105 more than the regular Hero Black (which is on sale at the moment). Hmm - may be worth waiting to see if the black edition goes on sale at some point.... - or to heck with it and just buy the regular.... hmmm....
 
Thanks for the tips Grim5 :)

I am fine with all of those except I may have a problem with the temperature; in the summer the room is in full sunlight all afternoon. Even with venetian and sun blinds lowered, the room can easily reach 35+ degrees C (yes in the UK! - sometimes anyway). I do quit and leave the room before then but have probably have worked up a sweat before I give up and walk away. Hmm - maybe cover the seat with towels in the summer....
 
If you have no choice then just clean the chair often, the longer the sweat sits on the PU the more damage it wil do, so if you clean the chair every few days it will help a lot.

That seems an easy regime to follow - so all should be well. BTW - just ordered the Hero Black - looking forward to trying it out!

Cheers :)
