Nexxit Laboratory Chair

Bimos Nexxit Series of Solutions

The Nexxit is not one chair — it is a series of configurations built for different environments. We understand your goals, specify the right laboratory chair for your application, place the order, and get it to you. Some configurations are stocked in the U.S. for faster deployment. Tell us what your environment requires and we take it from there.

Need Durable Chairs in Production to Prevent Damage?

Production environments are hard on seating. Daily contact with oil, grease, and abrasive conditions destroys standard upholstery fast. We configure the Nexxit for production facilities with a surface built to take that punishment — hard-wearing, breathable, easy to clean, and comfortable across a full shift.

Need Lab Chairs to Resist Harsh Chemicals?

Pharmaceutical, biotech, and clinical labs that disinfect frequently need a chair with a seamless, closed surface and certified chemical resistance. We specify the right configuration for your cleaning protocol and confirm compatibility before the order goes in. Select options are stocked in the U.S.

Need Comfortable Ergonomic Lab Chairs with Adjustability?

For research, university, and general lab bench environments, we configure the Nexxit for all-day ergonomic support. Seat slider, active sitting, forward tilt, and backrest adjustment let every user set the chair correctly for their body and their bench. We walk your team through setup so no one is just guessing.

Need ESD Chairs with Adjustability and Active Sitting?

Static-sensitive bench work does not mean giving up ergonomics. The Nexxit ESD version carries the same full range of adjustments — seat slider, active sitting or lock, forward tilt — in a static-dissipative configuration. See our Nexxit ESD Lab Chair page for details.

What Is an Active Sitting Chair?

An active sitting chair uses a mechanism that lets the seat and backrest respond to your body as you move, rather than holding you in one fixed position. On the Nexxit, the synchronous mechanism connects the seat and backrest so both shift together when you lean forward or shift your weight. When you reach across the bench, pivot toward another station, or move into a task, the chair responds. Your core and back stay engaged because you’re not locked in place.

You can also lock the back in position when the work calls for it. The Nexxit handles both — active movement and stable fixed support — and you switch between them based on what you’re doing at the bench.

Forward Tilt for Forward-Leaning Bench Work

A lot of bench work is inherently forward-leaning — pipetting, microscopy, inspection, precision assembly. On a flat or backward-tilted seat, that posture pulls the lower back into flexion and puts unnecessary load on the hips. The Nexxit’s seat inclination adjusts forward by up to 6 degrees, tipping the seat pan so your pelvis stays in a neutral position and your weight is distributed toward the work, not fighting against it.

This is one of the practical differences between a laboratory chair designed for bench work and one designed for desk work adapted to a bench. Most chairs are not built for forward-leaning postures. The Nexxit is.

How the Nexxit Laboratory Chair Adjusts

The Nexxit has more adjustment range than most lab chairs, and each adjustment is there for a reason.

Seat slider. The seat pan slides forward and backward up to 60mm, independently of the backrest. Taller users slide it forward for full thigh support. Shorter users bring it back so their feet stay flat. This is infinitely adjustable, not a two-position detent, so every user gets the position that fits them rather than the closest available option.

Active sitting or locked support. The synchronous mechanism lets the seat and backrest move together as you shift, reach, and pivot. That keeps your back muscles engaged rather than static. When you want the back held in place for focused work, you lock it. You switch between the two based on what you’re doing at the bench — and the chair handles both well.

Backrest height. The backrest adjusts 60mm up or down so lumbar support lands where it should for each user, not at a fixed position that works for average heights only.

Seat inclination. The seat pan tilts forward up to 6 degrees for bench work where you’re naturally leaning into the task. This keeps the pelvis in a neutral position rather than letting it roll back under the load of a forward posture.

Automatic weight adjustment. The synchronous mechanism self-calibrates to the user’s body weight. In a multi-shift environment where different people share the same laboratory chair, each person sits down and the resistance is already set for them. No manual adjustment between users.

An optional foot ring (chrome-plated, adjustable height) keeps feet supported at bench height. Handles are available in five colors — useful for differentiating departments or cylinder versions across a facility.
