Our Freedom chairs have two styles of armrests, which are outlined below. 


  • Standard: This option allows you to raise the arms up and down, but they do not move from side to side
    • Revolutionary armrests move in tandem to eliminate uneven arm positioning
      Natural lift and release action for immediate repositioning without button or locks
      6” range of vertical motion to accommodate all users and tasks
      Can be positioned below thigh level for close table or desk work
      Attached to backrest so arms stay in same relation to body during recline
      Duron cover for superb comfort and durability  
  • Advanced: This option not only allows you to move the arms up and down, but also side to side, allowing for a  more customized use of the arms
    • Same height adjustment features as Standard Duron Arms
      Features lateral motion to push armrests outward/inward
      Armrest automatically remains in the same position you last put it in
      No additional locks or buttons required

Please note, if you have advanced armrests, and you need replacement pads, and your chair was purchased prior to 2013, you will need a retrofit kit, due to a redesign of our armrests. these cannot be purchased online, but if you submit a ticket at https://support.humanscale.com/support/tickets/new we would be happy to provide a quote for the replacement retrofit kit.
