Verdict. The idea behind the se:joy is to give up adjustments: seat and backrest form a single structure covered by a knit membrane that flexes and adapts to each body automatically, with no adjustable lumbar and no controls to learn. That simplicity is both its charm and its limit, because if you need to fine-tune a specific support, you won't be able to here. Armrests aren't included as standard: they're optional. In its favour are the Sedus name, a suspension rocker mechanism and certifications to spare.

What the community says

Sedus is a German manufacturer with a long reputation in professional office furniture. The se:joy is mostly discussed for its minimalist approach and the self-adapting knit membrane, and it fits projects after a clean look and low maintenance. As it sells through the professional channel, end-user reviews are scarce, but the general view centres on its immediate comfort with no learning curve. The most repeated drawback is the lack of adjustments for anyone who wants to personalise their posture.
