HBADA X7 Smart Track: How Lumbar Tracking Works
Published
The HBADA X7 uses sensors and motorised lumbar support to respond to changes in your sitting position. The aim is to maintain contact with your lower back as you move, with fewer repeated manual adjustments.
1. It senses your movement
Sensors detect changes in the position of your lower back. The chair’s electronic controller interprets that information and determines how the lumbar support should respond.
2. It adjusts the support
A linear motor moves the lumbar support forwards or backwards within a 50 mm adjustment range. As your lower back changes position, the system responds to help fill the gap between you and the chair.
3. You choose how actively it follows
Ten tracking response levels let you tailor the movement to your preference. The lumbar support also offers 45 mm of manual height adjustment, so you can position it at the appropriate level before fine-tuning its response.
Set up the chair before adjusting the tracking
At Pro Furniture, we recommend setting your seat height, seat depth and lumbar height first. Then try the tracking settings in your normal working position and while reclining. Choose a response that feels supportive without pushing you forward.
The mechanism works within its travel range. Powered tracking complements a properly adjusted chair; it does not remove the need to change position and take breaks.
