FlexiSpot BS13, a teleworking chair that will complete your setup

When we talk about teleworking, the setup is transformed. It is no longer enough with what we had, and it is not the same to spend a good time of leisure in front of the monitor, than spending a whole working day day after day in the same location. In this situation, what used to be comforts quickly become real torture.

The FlexiSpot BS13 chair is the most ergonomic option that the brand proposes for your work area. Find out with us whether or not it really is so necessary to have a chair in your setup that meets the fundamental ergonomic requirements, or if it is simply a myth.

And it is that back problems affect 40% of people who usually work sitting, especially recurring pain in the lower back, neck and joints. For all this, it is especially important to take measures, and one of the most important is undoubtedly the desk chair.

Materials and design

FlexiSpot's BS13 chair has won three awards relating to design, the IF Design Award, the Design Intelligence Award and the Good Design Award, all of them during the year 2022. However, in this regard the opinion is usually subjective for each of the future buyers.

In this way, we find ourselves before a minimalist chair, which is offered in three color variants: Salmon, gray and black. We have a maximum height of 1,45 meters and a minimum of 96 centimeters, plus the seat is generous. We do not have a headrest, something that may surprise you considering the layout of the chair.

It is made mainly of aluminum and steel, and this is something that can be appreciated both in its assembly and in its solidity, and of course in its final weight, which It ranges from 20 Kilograms, something that you must take into account when assembling it.

A curious combination of meshes

Available a breathable 3D fabric, both on the back and on the base. In this way, they provide a sensation of stability superior to that of other alternatives that we have been able to test.

In this regard, it is curious that the lower part, where the main cushion is located, does have cotton, which allows the area to breathe better on the viscoelastic material that composes it.

We are not too clear about how it will react to dirt and if it will be easy to clean, from the brand they assure us that a standard cleaning would be more than enough. In this sense, the breathable mesh with 3D design gives us enough confidence in terms of resistance, as has already been observed in other similar products in recent years.

An extremely simple assembly

The assembly is part of our first experience with the product, and as usually happens in products that are considered "premium", this section is solved quite easily. So much so, thatThe product requires only 8 screws, which are placed in the same area of ​​the skeleton and in the same assembly step. It goes without saying that just in case, FlexiSpot includes an extra screw of each of the measures, being two measures in total.

That said, we found four screws for the large base, and another four screws for the armrests, small. This means that in approximately 15 minutes we have finished assembling the chair completely. The instructions that accompany the product are provided in the box, as well as a specific assembly tool.

Customization options

The chair has a backrest with a 20º inclination angle with a lock. In the same way, the base includes a depth adjustment that will allow us to adjust the backrest of the mules to our needs. All accompanied by the classic height adjustment.

We have a sliding lumbar adjustment, which will allow us to minimize discomfort in the area during long work days. This lumbar adjustment has a range of action of 50 millimeters. All of this will allow us to reach a point of comfort that can be customized to the moment and the needs of each of the users, making it an extremely versatile chair, regardless of the weight, height or morphological disposition of the user in question.

Editor's opinion
