Comfort

The B300 Pro is my second Sihoo chair. It’s a $289.99 ergonomic office chair with more ways to adjust to your body than some motorcycles have to adjust their suspension. But if you spend eight hours at your desk, you might as well make it comfortable.

For $349.99, the C300 Pro offers an exceptional value for money. It's well-built, good-looking, comfortable, and most importantly, packed with all the features you’d want out of an office chair.

3D-printed bike saddles in general are known to be comfier than their regular counterparts, but they should become even more so if they're made to order. That's the thinking behind the Personomic saddle, which is printed to fit the butt of each individual cyclist.

The vabsRider bicycle saddle features a unique design, in which the two sides of it pivot in time with your pedaling. It's now even comfier... or at least, so its designers tell us.

"It's not the heat, it's the humidity." That adage applies indoors as well as out, which is where an experimental new material comes in. It absorbs humidity within rooms, reducing the need to run power-hungry ventilation systems.

Over the past few years, we've heard how both custom-fit and 3D-printed bicycle saddles are comfier than their regular counterparts. Well, Italian bike-seat-maker fizik has now combined the two, with its One-to-One bespoke 3D-printed saddle service.

If you don't want a part of your body to get sore, then that part shouldn't be pushing against something that doesn't move with it. That's the thinking behind the vabsRider bicycle saddle, the two sides of which pivot in time with your pedaling.

Nobody likes getting a sore bum when cycling. The Air Seat is made with that fact in mind, as it adds what is described as a "full-floating" coil suspension system to existing saddles.

We've certainly seen some unusual bicycle seats over the years, all designed to boost either comfort or performance. The SaddleSpur is claimed to do both, via a strange sticky-uppy bit in the back.

German airline Lufthansa is overhauling the way its customers will experience international travel on its new Boeing 789 and Airbus A350-900 aircraft, with the Allegris project improving passenger comfort for business, first-class and economy flyers.

It was back in 2014 that we first heard about the Chairless Chair, a lower-body exoskeleton that doesn't impede walking, but that also supports the wearer when they go into a sitting position. Well, there's now a lighter, comfier model.

While there are now several bamboo-framed bikes on the market, many riders are understandably a little leery of buying one. They might want to consider the Gump bamboo handlebar, though, as it's said to be comfier than aluminum or carbon.
