FAQs

What is the maximum weight capacity for this chair?

The Calypso Ergo Chair is rated to support users weighing up to 115 kg.

Is this chair suitable for an 8-hour workday?

Yes, it is specifically designed and tested for use of up to 8 hours per day.

How does the inflatable lumbar support work?

There is a manual pump mechanism that allows you to inflate a bladder within the backrest to provide firmer support to your lower back.

What does BS 1335 testing mean?

BS 1335 is a British Standard that dictates the safety, durability, and ergonomic dimensions required for office furniture.

Can I adjust the armrests?

Yes, the chair includes adjustable arms to help reduce neck and shoulder strain.

Does the chair come fully assembled?

Troubleshooting

Backrest feels loose or unstable

Check that the PCB mechanism tension knob is tightened and that all mounting bolts under the seat are secure.

Lumbar pump feels flat

Ensure the air valve is fully closed after inflation; if it continues to deflate, check for any visible pinholes or debris near the valve.

Chair height keeps sinking

The gas lift cylinder may require replacement if it no longer holds the weight; contact support for a compatible replacement part.
