Feature-Rich Office Chairs

The 'ELEMAX' Chair is Equipped with Temperature and Massage Control

— October 26, 2023 — Art & Design
The 'ELEMAX' from 'X-Chair' is an attachment that adds heating, cooling or massaging abilities to a variety of compatible X-Chair models. The ELEMAX attaches to the bottom side of the backrest, providing additional lower lumbar support as well as its smart features. The level of heating, cooling or massaging, can be controlled from a simple three-button panel on the ELEMAX, meaning it can always be accessed conveniently from the user of the chair.

The ELEMAX can be used wirelessly, or while plugged into an outlet or power supply. The module comes with USB and wall adapters for charging, offering various options to its users. As for battery life, users can expect 20 massage sessions per charge, each session lasting 15 minutes. If heating or cooling is desired, this number reduces to seven cycles, regardless of whether or not massaging is used, due to the high power consumption of the temperature control module. However, most office setups have no trouble wiring the device to keep it plugged in at all times.
