Hood i29 Flagship Ergonomic Mesh Task Chair
Flagship all-mesh ergonomic chair with dual-pivot synchro
The Hood i29 Flagship Ergonomic Mesh Task Chair is the crown jewel of British ergonomic engineering, showcasing a striking architectural polished aluminium spine, full high-tensile elastomeric mesh upholstery, and a patented floating lumbar-pelvic suspension system.
Designed to compete directly with elite seating icons like the Herman Miller Aeron, the i29 delivers unrestricted 360-degree thermal breathability across both the seat and backrest. Its revolutionary dual-pivot synchronised mechanism moves in complete harmony with the human musculoskeletal system, featuring pictorial 3-lever controls and an extendable direct tension control that provides infinite lock positions or smooth, weight-balanced free-floating recline.
Finished with an architectural 3-position height-adjustable aluminium backrest, rounded waterfall seat edge to eliminate thigh pressure, and 3D multifunctional armrests. Certified to BS 5459 for severe commercial 24-hour usage up to 150 kg (23.5 stone).
Key Features:
- Full High-Tensile Elastomeric Mesh: 100% breathable mesh seat and backrest distribute body weight evenly with zero hot spots or pressure points.
- Architectural Polished Aluminium Spine: Sleek, heavy-duty aluminium spine and base deliver structural rigidity and sculptural visual elegance.
- Patented Floating Lumbar & Pelvic Support: Dynamically adjusts to changes in posture, providing active support to the sacrum and lower spine.

Customer Reviews
The Rolls-Royce of ergonomic office seating
Substantial cast aluminium base and spine. The dynamic lumbar actually articulates with your spine when you lean forward or stretch back. Cured my chronic thoracic back stiffness within a fortnight.
Superior to the Aeron in lumbar adjustability
I used an Aeron at my corporate banking job for 7 years. The i29 is better because you can adjust the seat depth and lumbar tension independently. The mesh feels thicker and more supportive.
Worth every penny for full-time remote working
Heavy, beautifully finished, and the 4D armrests click crisply into place. The mesh does not retain heat or snag on knitwear.
Outstanding comfort, headrest is essential if you are tall
Chair itself is sublime. If you are over 6ft, definitely get the optional headrest for neck support during recline. Delivery was quick and well packed.
Exceptional engineering and heavy aluminium chassis
Zero plastic creaks or rattles. The dual-pivot synchro mechanism moves with your hips naturally. Top tier British design.
