Boulies Launches Its New EP500 Ergonomic Chair with an Extra-Wide Design

UK-based seating specialist, Boulies, a leader in high-performance ergonomic seating, today announces the launch of the EP500 ergonomic chair, designed to provide all-day comfort for work, rest or gaming with adjustable features and a wide 51 cm seat to suit users of all different heights and body shapes.

Designed for larger body types and personalized comfort, the Boulies EP500 has a wide 51 cm seat and is built for people from 165 cm to 190 cm, ensuring that it can support people of all body types and a wide range of users. Combined with the adjustable backrest height and seat depth adjustment, it allows users to personalize their seating position, ensuring ergonomic support for people of different heights and body shapes.
The EP500 has adaptive lumbar support that adjusts to each user. The self-adaptive lumbar support system adjusts in and out according to the user's back curve, offering tailored lower-back support for different body shapes without the need for any manual hassle. The chair also includes 5D flip-up armrests that provide more freedom for the space. These can be fully adjusted and flipped up so whether playing guitar, creating music, or simply wanting to slide the chair neatly under a desk to save space, it adapts effortlessly to needs.

The chair has the ability to recline the backrest to provide a seamless transition between work and relaxation and also has an adjustable backrest height for proper shoulder support and seat depth adjustment for better thigh support and posture alignment. The adjustable headrest provides enhanced neck and head support - especially when reclining, and the integrated footrest is ideal for relaxing breaks or long working hours.

Made from a chenille-blended mesh fabric, the EP500 offers excellent breathability and soft mesh to also maintain a soft and comfortable feel that is perfect for extended sitting sessions in any season.

Availability and Pricing
The Boulies EP500 is available from the Boulies UK website for RRP £349.99 (introductory offer £289.99) and the Boulies US website for RRP $389.99 (introductory offer $309.99).

Each chair includes a two-year limited warranty and 14-day return policy.

I guess I will be that armrest guy. Am I the only one that hates hard plastic armrests? I have yet to see any 'gaming' or 'office' chair with decent, supple armrests. Just hard plastic slabs.

Yeah, but the 2-year warranty(I think it can be upgraded to a 3-year for $0 currently) seems a bit meager. If you're going to be spending 6+ hrs per day in it, I would look for something that is higher quality. You might pay more, but your back will thank you in the long run. About 5 years ago I went with a Steelcase and its still going strong without anything breaking on it.

Yep. Most chairs. Even ones costing 1000+ come with abysmal plastic sticks coated in sandpaper for your "pleasure".

I don't like any armrest. I've always taken them off any chair I've had.

I am the same, there are times I've also taken them off chairs but for the most part i set them as far out the way as possible, in essence kind of the same thing 👍
In my experience they have proven to be generally a lot more of an inconvenience than they are convenient.
