P PC Gamer Article · Sept 2025
The Kickstarter purchase price for the LiberNovo Omni started at around $698, £550, and AUD $1,072 for the basic bundle, with options including the footrest and accessories available at higher tiers. These prices are a significant discount compared to the expected retail price, but buying through Kickstarter isn't like ordering from Amazon. There's risk involved, and while LiberNovo is shipping units, questions about warranty, repairability, and long-term support persist. The frame gets a five-year warranty, but the electronics—arguably the heart of the chair—only get two. If the motor or battery dies after that, you're left with a static seat.

I never thought I would say this about any chair, but the LiberNovo Omni is a joy to sit in. As someone who has to sit at his desk for over 14 hours some days, this chair has made the experience far more comfortable. It’s the added features that set it head and shoulders above the competition. The backrest includes motorised lumbar support via a rechargeable battery, which shapes the chair in real time to promote good posture. The battery also supports two welcome bonus features: massage functionality and built-in cooling on the base of the chair, and there is an optional footrest.

And those wheels, I was instantly impressed. Listen to that. You can't really record any noise they make because they don't really make any noise. gas tube and a full-sized screwdriver. That's great stuff. And the tension knob for the rocker function. And here we have the impressive small but great designed battery which has a neat handle to get it out very easily. Don't know which material the base is, but it's super sturdy and super lightweight at the same time. And the wheels snap into it. Really satisfying. You You realize that moment it's a premium chair. And listen, there is close to no sound. And they really just snap in and they're sit there tight.

(see my review here - https://youtu.be/e3eDlQ4DYlM) And my feeling is that this is the best chair I've seen, but with a hefty price tag. I paid around £650 when I got it, but it's now priced at about £900/$1,000ish. Which makes it expensive, BUT it is an ergonomic chair and those come with a big cost associated with them.

So, after spending a few weeks now with the Libre Novo Omni Dynamic Ergonomic Chair, I have to say that this is the most comfortable chair that I've had in this space yet. It's supportive, incredibly adjustable, easy to assemble, and it's packed with thoughtful features like that spinal massage system and removable battery. Most importantly, it works perfectly for how I actually use this space, long work sessions during the day and gaming in the evening. If you're building a serious home office or gaming setup, and comfort is the most important thing for you, this chair right here is definitely worth a look

A large part of what makes the Omni special is the seat. It uses different foam density so your weight is supported where you need it, staying firmer towards the back of the seat and then softer at the front, so you sink into the cushion the perfect amount to feel supported and never bottoming out through the pad.

A: In terms of raw comfort — particularly seat and backrest softness — the Omni is the reviewer’s top pick, even over the Embody, Fern, Aeron, and Leap. The pressure mapping data backs this up. The Embody and Aeron still have advantages in build pedigree, warranty, and long-term track record.

While the Libernovo Omni offers incredible comfort and features for literally half the price, it's not the clear winner for absolutely everyone.

And luckily this chair did fix most of those problems. Previously I'd just been using a crappy office chair from Aldi. Like a $50 office chair, it was a piece of crap. But then this chair popped up on my feed and I was very much interested. I waited for a few of the reviews that happened before the product came out and they pretty much sold me on the chair. Everyone was a bit nervous about Kickstarting it but I put my money in and I was not disappointed. However, this feature right here it's pretty much a gimmick

Bottom line: grab it on sale if you’ll use the ergonomic and smart features daily, but skip it if you need reliable support or only want basic functionality.
