Description
The Onyx Zody Dual Posture adds a textured digital-knit back to Haworth’s chair for both sitting and raised perching. It works alongside a height-adjustable desk, giving you an intermediate working position when you want a change from conventional seated work.
This configuration includes forward tilt, padded 4D arms, adjustable seat depth, soft casters and an aluminum base. It does not specify the added PAL lumbar assembly found on the Coal mesh listing. That equipment difference affects both the lower-back contact and the published usable seat-depth measurement.
Features
- Digital-knit back: creates a textile finish in Onyx over the supporting back structure.
- Dual Posture adjustment: extends the seat-height range for a raised perch at an adjustable desk.
- Forward tilt: lets the seat angle forward for a different tasking position.
- 4D padded arms: adjust height, width, depth and pivot for forearm placement.
- Seat-depth adjustment: moves the cushioned seat to suit your thigh length.
- Tension and back-stop controls: provide adjustment over recline resistance and travel.

Is this the right Zody configuration?
Check desk-leg and storage clearance against the 29-inch overall width, allowing space to roll away.
| You want a textured back | Choose digital knit for its textile surface and Onyx finish. |
|---|---|
| You use a sit-stand desk | Check that the desk has a suitable keyboard height for both sitting and a raised perch. |
| You want a separate lumbar pad | This listing does not specify the PAL assembly; choose the explicitly PAL-equipped version if that is essential. |
| You need a shallow seat | Compare the 17.5-inch minimum usable depth against your seated leg measurements. |
Build a comfortable two-position setup
Set ordinary sitting first: support the feet, adjust seat depth and move the arm pads close to the keyboard. Then raise the chair and desk together to try a perch. A raised seat with a keyboard left too low can create an awkward reach, so consider the whole workstation.
Zody owner discussions highlight how much lumbar preference and desk arrangement vary. The shaped back still provides contact without a separate PAL assembly. Neither digital knit nor the extra height range makes fit automatic; revisit the controls when changing tasks or users.

Common questions
Does digital knit mean an upholstered Zody LX?
No. This listing is the digital-knit Dual Posture chair. Zody LX is the separate fully upholstered-back version.
Is lumbar adjustment included?
The supplied Onyx configuration does not list the additional PAL assembly. Its supported back shape should not be confused with that adjustable option.
Is the seat mesh?
No. The digital-knit finish describes the back, while the seat is a padded upholstered cushion.
What weight limit should I use?
Use Haworth’s current 325 lb guidance for chairs with forward tilt. We do not carry over the conflicting 400 lb claim from the older supplier copy.
