Let’s be honest—owning the APOL Aevum Series already places you in the top tier of ergonomic seating. With its luxurious vegan leather, CloudTech™ Pro foam, CoreSupport™ backrest, and magnetic cooling pillows, this is not your average gaming chair. It’s the comfort equivalent of business class for your back.
But just like business class, it’s the little adjustments—the perfectly placed lumbar pillow, the fine-tuned recline—that make the difference between “this is nice” and “I never want to leave.”
So, how do you take your premium Aevum chair and level it up to maximum comfort? Here's your step-by-step guide.
1. Master the Magnetic Lumbar Pillow
The Aevum’s magnetic lumbar pillow is cooling, memory-foam cushioned, and magnetically secured. But it works best only if you adjust it to your spine’s curve.
Slide the pillow up or down until it fills the space where your lower back naturally curves inward. Too high, and it pokes your mid-back. Too low, and your lumbar gets no love.
This small adjustment can instantly reduce back fatigue during long work or gaming sessions. Think of it as a supportive handshake from your chair.
2. Get the Neckrest Placement Right
Most gaming chairs throw in a neck pillow as an afterthought. The Aevum’s magnetic neckrest is different—cooling, firm-yet-soft, and totally customizable.
Lower the pillow until it gently supports the curve of your neck. It should keep your head upright when sitting straight and still support you when reclining at a glorious 165°.
If it’s pushing your head forward or floating too high, adjust it. Your neck will thank you during your next Netflix binge or extended WFH marathon.
3. Use the Recline Settings (Seriously, Use Them)
You paid for 165° of buttery-smooth recline—so why are you sitting at 90° all day?
Different recline angles work for different moments:
-
90°: focus mode for work or serious gaming.
-
120°: casual browsing and video calls.
-
135°: relaxed reading or casual gaming.
-
165°: full-on nap time or existential pondering.
Don’t forget to tweak the tilt tension dial under the seat. Adjust it until the recline feels effortless, but not so loose that you catapult yourself backward mid-meeting.
4. Customize Your 4D Magnelite™ Armrests
The Aevum’s 4D Magnelite™ armrests move up/down, forward/back, side-to-side, and can rotate. But most people leave them at factory settings.
-
Raise/lower them so your forearms sit level with your desk.
-
Slide them forward or backward to fit your keyboard reach.
-
Angle them inward for controller gaming sessions.
Well-positioned armrests reduce shoulder and neck tension—and stop your elbows from awkwardly hovering mid-air.
5. Add a Footrest for All-Day Leg Support
Your lower body deserves ergonomic support too. Adding a footrest like the APOL Premium Footrest keeps your knees bent at the right angle and improves circulation during long sessions.
Place it under your desk for work or pair it with your Aevum’s recline to turn your chair into a full-on lounge setup. Stretch, rest your feet, and give your lower back a break from supporting your legs.
6. Keep the Vegan Leather Looking Brand New
Aevum’s automotive-grade vegan leather is built for durability, but a little care goes a long way.
Wipe the chair down regularly with a damp cloth to remove dust and sweat. Every few weeks, use the APOL Premium Leather Cleaner Kit to nourish the material and keep it soft, smooth, and crack-free.
Keep it out of direct sunlight for hours at a time to avoid fading, and your Aevum will stay sharp for years to come.
7. Fine-Tune Tilt Tension for Effortless Reclining
Most people forget the tilt tension knob under the chair base, but it’s a crucial comfort upgrade.
If the tension is too tight, your recline feels stiff and robotic. Too loose, and it’s like free-falling backward. Adjust the dial until reclining feels natural and supported—so your chair responds to you, not the other way around.
8. Sync Your Chair with Your Setup
Comfort also comes from how your chair fits your environment. The Aevum’s clean design and colorways—Charcoal, Black, and Navy—blend beautifully into any space, whether it’s a minimalist home office or a futuristic gaming den.
Add a sleek APOL Floor Mat to protect your floors and visually ground your chair, giving your setup a cohesive, pro-level aesthetic.
9. Improve Your Sitting Habits
Even the best chair can’t save bad posture. So once your Aevum is perfectly adjusted:
-
Keep your feet flat on the floor or a footrest.
-
Adjust seat height so your knees are at a 90° angle.
-
Keep your monitor at eye level to avoid neck strain.
-
Take stretch breaks every 45–60 minutes.
-
Hydrate (with something other than just coffee).
Your Aevum supports your posture—but you’ve got to meet it halfway.
10. Bonus Comfort Hacks
-
Try the 165° recline with your favorite playlist. You’ll unlock new levels of chill.
-
Switch between vegan leather and fabric neck pillows if your model allows. Change the texture for different seasons.
-
Use the Aevum as a reading chair. Tilt back, add a cozy blanket, and disappear for hours.
Comfort isn’t just about working or gaming—it’s about creating a space where your body relaxes and your mind focuses.
Final Thoughts: Premium Chair, Personalized Comfort
The APOL Aevum Series is a throne built for ergonomic royalty. But even the best throne needs adjustment to fit its ruler.
It’s easy to unpack a premium chair and think, “Well, that’s good enough.” But true comfort lives in the details:
-
Lumbar and neckrest perfectly aligned to your back and head.
-
Recline tuned to your habits.
-
Armrests supporting your work and play.
-
Clean, soft vegan leather that feels as good as it looks.
-
A workspace designed for both productivity and peace.
When you take the time to fine-tune your chair, your body notices the difference. Your work sessions feel smoother. Your game nights last longer without aches. And your mind stays clearer when your body isn’t screaming for support.
So don’t stop at “great.” Upgrade your Aevum, customize your space, and create the sitting experience your body deserves.
Because in a world where you spend most of your day sitting, your chair should be your strongest ally—not your biggest pain in the back.
