Thank you so much for making this detailed video about the chair, so hard to find any reviews.

Seeing it in your review even makes me more excited getting it, though I have to wait 5 weeks for it to arrive. Cheers from Germany

You are most welcome Alexeys. I’m glad my video has made you even more excited about your purchase. The adjustable arms might only go up and down, but it makes a world of difference for comfort. I am confident you’ll adore your new chair, and I wish you many ergonomically comfortable hours in it 😎

@LBenjamin Жыл бұрын
Actually from the reviews I've watched, the leaf armrest seems to be the worst option because it grazes your elbow skin if you're not wearing anything with long sleeves and the hard plastic around it will dig into your arms while resting on it. I just got my Cosm as well and I went for the adjustable arms. I like your review as it's the only review that highlights how the auto-harmonic adjust when you're sitting straight.

@@HansHaupt embody's armrests are very forward, specifically not close enough to where you naturally lay your arms. As you raise the armrest, it actually goes up and forward...fantastic isn't it? which makes tall users even more difficult to rest their arms. besides, I can tell from your footage that my torso length is very close to yours, though I am only about 184cm with a long torso(I've been literally dying to be sitting in my current dining chair with no enough support going towards my middle and above of the shoulder blades). If you have the chance later, try both the remastered aeron(comes in 3 sizes, try the size C one) and embody chair. based on my experience as a "tall user", aeron size C has a major and a minor issue, with the first being the seat mesh that sags A LOT to contour your butt, which may or may not make your crotch and legs uncomfortable(sinks down so your legs will squeeze towards the middle aera). and a second issue that I find is, although the backrest is redesigned to achieve the goal of making your back in full contact, as a "tall user" I can say, the height might still not be enough to give support to the whole back. and this to me, feels to be more pronounced if you have one of the lumbar support mechanisms HM designed for this chair, namely "postureFit SL", because it does not apply enough force on your lumbar(it is a single piece with two pads that simultaneously press on your sacrum and lumbar, but the pressure given by the later is very subtle). I felt hunched in this chair with my balls squeezed, to conclude.

Very well structured and informative review. Appreciate it. Although i already own two expensive office chairs (herman miller mirra and a sedus swing up) and i am overall satisfied with them, i noticed over time that these don't support me in a straight sitting position, i feel the need to lean back a bit while sitting in them to feel the backsupport. Having that in mind, i went to the one local herman miller distributer in my country and tested the cosm high back. To me it felt like there was a noticeable backsupport even in a straight sitting postition without the need to lean back. Of course i will have to wait for roughly two months till mine arrives,only then i will know in my real world use case if this model offers any noticeable improvements over the ones i already have.

@Arte FloeYes, i use the the high back version with leaf arms as my main chair at home (in front of my pc) since about a year. The chair is still comfortable (it does support my back the way i like it), i use different sitting positions all the time (the mesh is flexible enough to be comfortable in different positions). One thing that i find funny is: the mesh in the cosm is a dust magnet: i had to clean the chair like 2 times a week in winter, the chair seems to filter all the dust particles from the air in my room, which can be a bonus (i actually like it) or can be annoying. Still, because you have no adjustments on this model (with leaf arms) other than height adjustment, a test sitting (like i did) before ordering the model is a must!

Apologies for the delayed response. Truthfully, I wish I had the option of trying out the mid-height model. I do think it most likely would have been the better purchase, given how my shoulders are ever so slightly pushed forward in the high back option. Even so, I've been using the Chair daily for almost two years now; and I still thoroughly enjoy it.

Hi Hans. Great review. One question. Can you maybe measure the height of the lowest setting of your arm rests to the floor? I have a table where I am not sure if I am able to totally move to my table without hitting the armrests. Usually I sit with my stomach touching the table and my arms completely resting on the table. So I am not sure if the arm rests will be in the way.

I sat in a Cosm chair the other day, I've owned lifeform over the years and while great, the plush makes me slouch. I loved the Cosm, Only major downside for me is the arm rests, they felt pretty hard and they can't rotate inwards/outwards, which is something i use every day on my lifeform. If they put that feature on the Cosm, I would've bought it the day. How are the arm rests after being on the comp all day? Do they soften up over time? The cosm I sat in, they felt almost like hard plastic even though it's not. I work about 12-14 hour days on the computer, just wasnt sure if they become softer over time.
@HansHaupt4 жыл бұрын
The adjustable armrests have a soft rubber cover. It doesn’t really get softer over time, but I’ve found it to be pretty comfortable on the whole (I’ve used it for close to two months now without issue). Even when gaming, and my elbows on it for hours, I’ve found it to remain soft enough to not cause any pain or discomfort. I hope this helps.

@HansHaupt4 жыл бұрын
Thanks for commenting Mwin317! In my experience, I’ve found the chair to be incredibly quiet. Even the wheels on my tile floor are quieter than I thought they would be. Adjusting the height is also a near silent process. In terms of recline, I haven’t heard any weird noises. My chair is silent when reclining fully. Perhaps those people are forcing it back instead of sitting back into it slowly? In my opinion, I’d say the Cosm is a very well built and an extremely quiet chair - something I adore about it - and I would say it is more than good enough to use and adjust for someone who records audio for a living.
