Description
The no-headrest CXO keeps the substantial cushion and adjustment system of the CXO family in a simpler upper profile. It suits shoppers who want a padded sitting surface and mesh ventilation without a headrest behind the neck. The mesh back and foam seat are separate constructions, each with a different feel.
Its adjustment range is useful when small fit details matter. You can change how closely the lumbar pad meets your back, reposition the seat beneath your thighs and place the arm pads nearer to your elbows. The graphite frame and black upholstery create a coordinated finish for an office or home workstation.
Features
- Thick ENERSORB seat: fabric-covered foam supplies cushioning beneath the thighs and hips.
- Flexible mesh back: the ABLEX weave allows airflow through the backrest.
- Two-axis lumbar adjustment: move the padded lumbar support upward or downward and alter its depth.
- Four-way arm positioning: height, width, pad slide and pivot help align the supports with the desk task.
- Integrated seat slider: change the distance between the backrest and the front edge of the seat.
- Controlled recline: synchronous knee-tilt, tension adjustment and position locking allow movement or a steadier setting.

A cushioned seat with adjustable contact points
CXO reviews frequently discuss the substantial cushion. That makes seat feel an important comparison point: a generous pad can appeal to one person and feel too soft to another. Check how the cushion, lumbar pad and desk position work together.
| Prefer an open upper back | This version omits a headrest and keeps the area behind the neck clear. |
|---|---|
| Want more lower-back contact | Move the lumbar pad in gradually; a strong setting is not automatically the most comfortable. |
| Need elbow support | Set arm width before fine-tuning height and pad rotation. |
| Often change tasks | Leave room to recline and rotate without striking nearby storage or a wall. |
Refine the fit at your own desk
Set height with your feet supported, then move the cushion until its front edge clears the backs of your knees. Bring the lumbar pad into light contact and adjust from there. Position the arm pads with both the keyboard and mouse in use; a setup for typing may need a small change for reading or calls.
Common questions
Does this chair include a headrest?
No. The supplied image and listing identify the mid-back CXO without a headrest. The headrest version is a separate product.
Is it an all-mesh office chair?
No. Only the back is mesh. The seat is an upholstered foam cushion.
Does the whole backrest move up and down?
The confirmed vertical adjustment is for the lumbar pad. Whole-back height adjustment is not specified for this CXO.
Are the supplied casters for hard flooring?
The catalog specifies carpet casters. Match any replacement caster to both the chair and your flooring rather than assuming these are soft-tread hard-floor wheels.
