One of the most noticeable differences is the seat design. With a depth of 52 cm, the seat provides full thigh support, helping distribute pressure more evenly during extended sitting sessions. The reinforced frame is engineered to support weights of up to 399 pounds (approximately 181 kg), making it suitable for a wide range of body types.

The upper portion of the chair has also been redesigned to accommodate larger users. The backrest frame offers a shoulder width of 430 mm and a waist width of 520 mm, providing broader contact areas and reducing pressure concentration. A U-shaped headrest features 140 mm of vertical adjustment and 120 mm of horizontal adjustment, allowing users to position neck support more precisely.

A key innovation is LiberNovo’s Bionic FlexFit Backrest. Instead of remaining rigid, the backrest moves with the user as posture changes throughout the day. This dynamic behavior forms part of the company’s Dynamic Support System, which is designed to maintain spinal alignment and ergonomic support without constant manual adjustments.

The recline mechanism offers five locking positions ranging from 105 degrees for focused work to 160 degrees for near-flat relaxation. These preset angles allow users to switch quickly between working, resting, and casual sitting positions depending on the task at hand.

The Maxis lineup includes three versions built on the same reinforced platform. The Manual model features a mechanically adjustable lumbar support system. The Electric version adds motorized lumbar adjustment and OmniStretch technology, which creates a gentle stretch-and-release motion intended to help relieve spinal compression during long sitting sessions. The Airflow model expands on these features with an active seat ventilation system that uses an integrated fan to improve airflow and reduce heat buildup.

Additional comfort technologies focus on maintaining support throughout a full workday. OmniStretch is designed to encourage movement and reduce prolonged pressure on the lower back, while the ventilation system helps keep the seating surface cooler and more comfortable over extended periods.

By treating larger body dimensions as the primary design objective rather than an afterthought, the LiberNovo Maxis offers a distinctly different ergonomic experience. Its expanded dimensions, adaptive support systems, and specialized comfort features position it as a chair specifically engineered for users who often find conventional office seating inadequate.
