Let’s be real: when you buy a premium gaming or ergonomic chair, your first thoughts probably go to things like lumbar support, a plush headrest, or how far it reclines. But what if we told you that your elbows might be the key to unlocking true comfort?

Yes, we’re talking about armrests—those often-overlooked sidekicks that can make or break your sitting experience. And when it comes to doing armrests right, APOL SG’s Aevum Series absolutely nails it. With advanced 4D Magnelite™ armrests designed for full adjustability, the Aevum proves that comfort isn’t just about your back—it’s about your whole body working in harmony.

Why Armrest Adjustability Actually Matters

Picture this: you’re deep into a work project, mid-game, or watching a YouTube spiral of productivity hacks. Your arms are floating mid-air, or worse, pressing down on stiff, poorly positioned rests. Your shoulders creep up. Your neck tightens. Your wrists start to ache.

Armrest adjustability combats all of that. When adjusted correctly, they:

  • Reduce shoulder and neck strain

  • Prevent wrist compression and forearm fatigue

  • Encourage natural posture and spine alignment

  • Improve blood flow (especially during long sessions)

Basically, if your chair doesn’t support your arms properly, you’ll feel it. Maybe not immediately—but definitely by hour three.

What Makes the Aevum Series Armrests So Special?

Not all adjustable armrests are created equal. Some only go up and down. Others creak, wobble, or require tools to adjust. The Aevum Series changes the game with its Magnelite™ 4D armrest system, offering:

  • Height Adjustment: Raise or lower to match desk height and shoulder level.

  • Forward/Backward Slide: Move closer or further depending on your reach and task.

  • Side-to-Side Width: Adjust armrests inward or outward for shoulder width.

  • Swivel/Pivot: Tilt the pads inward for keyboard or controller work.

All of these movements happen tool-free, with magnetic feedback that feels more like tech from a luxury car than a gaming chair.

How to Adjust Aevum Armrests for Maximum Comfort

1. Align With Your Desk Height: Raise or lower the armrests until your elbows form a 90° angle when typing. Your shoulders should feel relaxed, not shrugged.

2. Slide for Task Type:

  • Push armrests forward if you're using a controller or typing intensely.

  • Slide them back if you're lounging or using a laptop on your lap.

3. Width Adjustment: Bring them closer together if you have a narrow frame or need inward support. Spread them wider for broader shoulders or more relaxed positions.

4. Pivot for Wrist Angle: Tilt them slightly inward to follow the natural angle of your wrists when using a mouse or keyboard. Your forearms will feel instantly supported.

Bonus tip: You can even mix and match adjustments—pivot one in for mouse use, slide one back for resting your non-dominant arm.

Real-Life Comfort: The Aevum in Action

Let’s say you’re a remote worker who games after hours. In the morning, you need upright posture and elbow support while typing. Midday, you’re in meetings, lounging slightly. By evening, you’re leaning back at 135° with a controller in hand.

The Aevum adapts to all these moments. Its armrests adjust seamlessly to support your body’s changing needs, keeping your upper body relaxed and aligned, hour after hour.

This flexibility is especially useful if you share your chair with a partner, sibling, or housemate—each person can dial in their own settings in seconds.

Why Fixed Armrests Are a Hard Pass

If you’ve ever used a budget chair with fixed armrests, you’ve probably played the "elbow limbo" game:

  • Hover your arms awkwardly

  • Rest them too high, raising your shoulders

  • Or worse, they block the chair from sliding under your desk

Over time, these annoyances turn into genuine strain. Your body starts compensating for poor support, and that compensation can lead to repetitive stress injuries or chronic discomfort.

That’s why every premium chair should come with adjustable armrests—and why the Aevum stands out by going beyond just "adjustable" into the realm of "intelligently ergonomic."

Built to Last: Durability Meets Design

Beyond the adjustability, the Aevum armrests are also built to last:

  • High-quality materials that resist wear and tear

  • Matte finish that doesn’t get sticky or slippery

  • Smooth silent movements (no creaky plastic noises!)

They’re designed not only for flexibility but for long-term comfort. Whether you're spending 4 or 14 hours in your chair, they won’t lose support or become annoying halfway through your session.

The Bigger Picture: Whole-Chair Ergonomics

The Aevum’s adjustability doesn’t stop at the armrests. It’s a chair built for full-body alignment:

  • Magnetic cooling gel lumbar support

  • Magnetic cooling gel neckrest

  • CloudTech™ Pro foam for plush but supportive sitting

  • Up to 165° recline

  • Vegan leather or eco-blend fabric options

But the 4D Magnelite™ armrests are what tie it all together. They’re the connectors between your body and your workstation, your hands and your game, your posture and your productivity.

APOL SG: Designed With You in Mind

Many brands treat armrests as an afterthought. APOL SG treats them as an integral part of comfort. From their showroom consultations to their online product breakdowns, they emphasize not just what a chair is made of—but how it moves with you.

It’s a level of thoughtfulness you don’t see in many brands. And when it comes to the Aevum Series, that thoughtful design results in fewer aches, better posture, and longer hours of focus without fatigue.

Final Sit-Down: Why It All Matters

When you sit in the Aevum Series with the 4D armrests dialed in, something clicks—literally and figuratively. You stop fidgeting. You feel supported. Your desk becomes an extension of your body.

And while your back, neck, and legs get plenty of ergonomic attention, it’s your arms and shoulders that often carry the hidden load. Supporting them properly can transform not just your comfort, but your productivity, focus, and even your mood.

So don’t settle for static. Give your elbows the adjustable love they deserve—and let the Aevum Series do what it was built to do: support you in every direction.
