Humanscale Freedom Headrest Chair

The pick for people who never touch the levers. Niels Diffrient designed the Freedom Headrest to replace the usual tension knobs, locks and springs with your own body weight, so the recline responds to whoever sits in it. The arms are attached to the backrest and move with you as you lean back, they adjust with one hand, and the headrest follows you into a recline without any setting. The trade-off is control. If you like setting an exact recline stop or back tension, a Leap or Gesture gives you more to tune. But for a household where two people share one chair, a recline that needs no resetting between them is a genuine convenience.
