Boulies Master Rex 2026

Incredibly comfortable. The leg rest is adjustable enough to allow me a variety of sitting positions, from lounging to sitting cross-legged.

The 6D arm rests also leave little to be desired, can get them into pretty much any position, and with my awkwardly shaped desk that makes them extremely convenient. I wish there was an option to have the arm rests padded or cushioned, but the material is still soft enough as to not be uncomfortable in the slightest.

The lift mechanism, as well as the wheelbase, are both industry standard in terms of functionality with full tilt and lock, pre-lubed and made of sturdy materials. I haven't owned the product for long but I'm confident these mechanical parts will last several long years of frequent use.

As for the seating itself, I went for the water-resistant fabric finish. It's certainly a little tougher compared to my past chairs from other brands, but I do not hate this at all. It's soft enough to be comfortable but at the same time it neither the seat nor the backrest squish enough to ruin your posture, soft but rigid in a way. The included neck pillow is also extremely soft and sits at a comfortable angle when attached. In terms of sizing the Master Rex is certainly on the small to medium build, I'm 5'9 and it's pretty much perfect, and the adjustability suggests anyone reasonably shorter will find a comfortable setting, but it definitely isn't suited for anyone taller than about 5'11 or for anyone of a particularly XXL build.

My one gripe with the chair in all honesty is the advertised lumbar support mechanism within the backrest. The support is definitely there and anyone concerned with healthy posture can rest easy, but for the first half hour of toying around with it I struggled to notice what the knobs even change. For how much turning you can do on the height and push knobs, very little seems to actually move, and even at maxed out the support isn't particularly pronounced, I'm definitely going to need more time to find a sweet spot, as it may just be my inexperience with this kind of mechanism.

Overall the chair is a solid pick for most use cases, it's comfortable, adjustable, great for lounging, gaming, movies, or sleeping if you had one too many on a weekend and the bed is too far away. But if you are looking for a chair with supports required for medical reasons I would suggest considering some options designed for the purpose.

Bought this for my husband's birthday. Customer service were lovely and helped arrange delivery for a specific day, as I didn't want the surprise spoiled!
The chair is quite heavy, but putting it together was easier than I expected. Mostly just a case of screwing the different bits together. If you've got an screwdriver at home, I'd definitely recommend using it. Makes the whole thing a lot easier.
Husband absolutely loves it. Every time I walk past his desk he's in a different position. Sometimes leaning right back with his feet up on the footrest, other times just rocking back and forth looking far too relaxed for someone who's supposed to be working 😂
Had a go in it myself too. The seat is a little firmer than I'd personally choose, but still comfortable. Feels very solid as well, even when fully reclined I never felt like it was going to tip over.
Anyway, he's happy with it and that's what matters. I'd say it was a birthday present well chosen!

Arrived in a fairly large box and my first thought was, what have I let myself in for? Thankfully the instructions made sense and all the bits were there. I took my time putting it together and the finished chair is excellent - much nicer than the cheap thing I've been putting up with for years.

The rocking motion is surprisingly smooth. I tend to rock back a little while thinking or reading, and there's no awkward jerking when I shift my weight. Being able to lock the chair in a tilted position is a nice touch too.

What sold me on the Rex was the integrated lumbar adjustment.
I've had chairs where the lower back cushion was either too high or stuck out too far, and I could never get comfortable.
With this one I can use the knobs to move the support up or down and bring it closer to my back.
Takes a bit of turning to get it right, but once it's set, I don't really need to touch it again.
Much more comfortable for how I sit.
