This is an honest and unbiased All33 Backstrong C1 review.

If you landed on this article then you already know that the All33 chair is not like any other chair. It looks different, it feels different when you sit on this chair but the All33 chair offers some great benefits due to its unique design.

The unique design of the All33 chair lets you sit in motion while you are working which makes your sitting experience comfortable for prolonged hours.

More interestingly, this chair was designed by a chiropractor, and I think you should read the whole article to know more about the All33 Chair. 

Currently, this chair costs around $799 in the USA. However, the price can change. So, check the latest price on the All33 website by clicking here.

Quick Overview:

Sit In Motion Technology:

Engineers of All33 invented this Sit In Motion technology that allows you to stay in motion while being seated. Stationary sitting has a lot of health-related issues like reducing blood circulation.

Sit In Motion technology works when you sit on this chair, the seat rocks and moves with you, it prevents you from slouching as the seat offers you maximum support from mid-back to your thighs.

Whenever you try to move from your ideal posture, this seat moves with you, offering you optimal all-time support to your lower back.

The seat of this chair is independent of other elements which makes it swing and moveable. This unique seat design cradles your lower back and pelvis maintaining the lumbar curvature. 

If you are having a hard time sitting in an ideal posture then this chair will help you achieve that. It will also increase your blood circulation and oxygen level while sitting.

Maximum Weight Capacity:

The All33 Backstrong C1 office chair has a weight capacity of 275 lbs or 124.7 kg. To be honest, this weight limit is enough for most people out there.

Adjustable Seat Height:

This chair has an adjustable seat height of 18.75″ – 21.75″. The pneumatic seat height adjustment is very smooth and easy.

It’s an important ergonomic feature to have. According to All33, the optimal height range for this backstrong chair is 4′ 11″ to 6′ 1″ (151 to 186 cm).

Foldable Arms:

I don’t actually prefer foldable arms, since the height of the arms is not adjustable. But foldable arms have their own fanbase.

Foldable arms allow you to save space, take your chair closer to your desk and even slide the chair under the desk after raising the arms.

With the All33 backstrong chair you will get the benefits of having a foldable chair.

One thing that I was worried about was the height of the arms.

Materials Used:

When it comes to materials, you will actually get to choose from 2 types of upholstery mastery materials such as Vegan leather and fabric.

I think the leather version looks cooler than the fabric. If you have been following my blog, you must know by now that I love leather.

The quality of the leather of this chair is good. I think most people should choose the leather upholstery version.

Other than that, the metal and plastic used in making the frame of this chair look and feel very premium by touch.

I must say, all33 has not compromised with the build quality.

Available Colors:

I really appreciate it when I get a lot of color options to choose from. Well, all33 does not provide a lot of color options; you will get only 3 color variants which are:

  1. Complete Black
  2. Red upholstery with black frame
  3. Tan upholstery with black frame

Warranty Period:

This chair company offers 60 days guarantee(you can try it for ten days – if you don’t’ love it, you can send it back)

You will also receive a limited five years of warranty on some parts of the chair and one year warranty on upholstery.

Ergonomic Features of All33 Chair At a Glace

Other Features to Consider:

So, Is It Worth Buying?

All33 chair offers a ton of benefits for its unique design but it doesn’t come cheap. So, is it worth spending the premium price tag for this chair, let’s find out?

All33 Backstrong C1 Chair is worth every penny for the following reasons:

1. Promote Healthy Postures:

The office chair is designed to induce perfect posture for all 33 of your vertebrae. So, it supports the back in such a way that helps to sit in a healthy posture, and while you are sitting, the weight is spread in a way that it becomes very easy to maintain that posture while sitting for long hours. 

This healthy posture also ensures better blood circulation and oxygen level as it makes you sit in an ideal position.

2. Encourages Active Sitting:

As the seat of this chair independently moves, it ensures active sitting due to its unique design. Whenever you try to slouch or move forward, the seat moves with you so, you have all time lower back support thus promoting active sitting.

Sitting in an active position makes you maintain your lumbar curvature and ensures proper nutrition to the discs.

3. Unique Ergonomic Design:

All33 chair is unique from any other ergonomic office chair. The most unique ergonomic design of this chair is the movable seat design which ensures better lower-back support and aligns the vertebrae to sit in an ideal posture.

This chair also has traditional ergonomic features such as adjustable seat height, foldable armrest, recline and tilt tension adjustments.

As the seat of the chair offers more of an upright position so until you are fully reclined your upper back won’t touch the backrest. Which is not bad, as the seat already aligned your back spine.

4. Premium Build Quality:

As I have noted earlier that All33 has not compromised with the build quality of this chair. The upholstery materials look very elegant, especially the vegan leather variant ones.

The fabric version also looks cool and the quality of the fabric is fine. The frame of this chair feels very strong.

Just after sitting once you will be able to tell that the build quality is very premium and strong.

5. Great Comfort:

Sitting in this chair feels different from another chair entirely. It feels like you are not stuck in a fixed position and improves the comfort.

When sitting in a traditional chair very soon discomfort takes over your body and mind.

But using this backstrong gives a whole lot better experience as it feels like your body is not stuck in any fixed position.

It can take some time to get used to this chair, but once you do, I am sure you will feel very comfortable sitting on this chair for long hours.

6. Reduces Back, Neck, and Shoulder Strain:

While sitting in this chair it feels like your posture has perfectly aligned. Also, the back support moves with the chair, and this causes the ribcage to lift against the pressure against the spine.

This lifts the chest which in turn improves breathing and reduces neck and shoulder pain.

That’s why all33 chair is a great option to consider for people who are having back, neck, and shoulder issues.

The Flaws of the Chair:

This chair delivers tremendous adjustability, lumbar support, reduces back pain, and much more. As this chair has a lot of ergonomic benefits but it’s not perfect, It also has some drawbacks too.

  • The seating area is a bit warm due to the fabric.
  • This chair encourages active sitting so you would be more productive during work, but you won’t get many reclining options as you get in a regular chair. However, you can recline to some point using the tilting mechanism.
  • You won’t get any headrest as it encourages you to sit more upright.
  • The armrests are not highly adjustable like other ergonomic chairs, you can only fold the armrests.
  • This chair only offers five years of limited warranty, a chair with a premium price tag at least should have 10 years of warranty.
  • Due to the unique design of the seat, your muscles would take up to 10 to get used to the proper posture.

Conclusions:

People might say the current price of this chair is $800 and it’s true that it’s an expensive chair. But with all the unique ergonomic features this chair will be a good investment for your posture in the long run. 

Using a traditional chair for prolonged hours can hurt your lower back, decrease blood circulation, and can create a lot of health-related issues.

Even if this chair costs a premium price tag, you really should invest in an ergonomic chair if you sit in front of a computer all day. That’s why I highly recommend this chair. You can check it out here.
