The Flexispot BS13 is advertised as an ergonomic office chair. TechnikNews put him through an everyday test.
Anyone who works from home knows this Proproblem. A proper office chair can save you a lot of pain, especially if you sit for hours every day. After the already good, but not perfect BS11 The successor to Flexispot is now available, which we have now tested intensively.

Scope of delivery and assembly
The chair is delivered in a large box, which was slightly torn during shipping. Luckily nothing was broken, but the manufacturer should pay more attention to this. However, all individual parts are deliberately wrapped in plastic, which increases safety but is not really environmentally friendly.

The assembly is super easy. You connect the backrest to the seat, press the rollers onto the base and connect the armrests to the seat. The screws and the necessary tools are included in the scope of delivery. A second person is helpful, but not absolutely necessary. Assembly takes under twenty minutes, even if you don't have one Proyou are.
Flexispot BS13: design and workmanship
The design of the chair is rather inconspicuous, depending on the color of course. If you choose a simple black or gray, you won't stand out as much in the room as with the red version.

The chair itself is made from several materials, all of very high quality. The base is made of aluminum, the base frame and air strip are made of steel, and the seat is made of cotton. Everything fits together well and seems robust; in everyday use I didn't notice any defects in the workmanship.
Flexispot BS13: convenience and functions
The chair has some comfort functions, which makes sitting in everyday life more pleasant, at least for many people. You can adjust the height of the armrests, move the seat, adjust the height of the chair, move the lumbar support, adjust the angle of the backrest and so on.
The Flexispot BS13 has two control options on the sides.

This made sitting very comfortable for me, but for a person in my environment with a wider back, it was a bigger one Proproblem. You can adjust the height of the armrests, but not the width. If your arms are wider than the “normal customer”, they cannot be placed comfortably, which can lead to lower back pain.
Otherwise you will sit very softly, but not too softly so that you could “home” it to the chair. There is a mode in which you can lean back strongly or one that fixes your back in a healthy position.
Conclusion
The Flexispot BS13 is a good office chair, at least for slim people like me. As soon as you are a little stronger or wider, you should try to find another chair. There is a wide range at Flexispot, but also beyond.
