For years, ergonomic chairs have struggled to accommodate users outside the standard height range, leaving many to compromise on support or comfort. Boulies is taking a different approach with the EP500, a chair built from the ground up for those between 165cm and 190cm in height. With a seat width of 51cm—nearly 10cm wider than average office chairs—the EP500 isn’t just another ergonomic upgrade. It’s a rethinking of seating for larger body types.
The chair’s most striking feature is its self-adaptive lumbar support, which adjusts automatically to the user’s back curve without manual tweaking. This is paired with a fully reconfigurable backrest, adjustable seat depth, and a height-adjustable headrest for neck support during recline. Even the armrests are designed with flexibility in mind, featuring 5D adjustability and a flip-up mechanism for guitarists, musicians, or anyone who needs to tuck the chair away neatly.
Boulies hasn’t sacrificed breathability for its wider design. The EP500 uses a chenille-blended mesh fabric that stays cool and soft, making it suitable for long work sessions or gaming marathons. The integrated footrest adds another layer of comfort, ideal for those who prefer to elevate their legs during breaks or extended use.
The chair’s pricing reflects its premium features: $389.99 for the standard model, with an introductory offer bringing it down to $309.99. Availability starts immediately on Boulies’ UK and US websites, backed by a two-year warranty and a 14-day return policy.

The EP500 isn’t just about accommodating bigger frames—it’s about redefining what ergonomic seating can do. The self-adjusting lumbar support alone sets it apart from most competitors, while the flip-up armrests and integrated footrest make it a versatile choice for work, gaming, or creative pursuits. For those who’ve long felt excluded by standard chair designs, this could be a game-changer.
Whether it’s the adaptability for different body types or the thoughtful details like the flip-up armrests, the EP500 proves that ergonomics don’t have to mean one-size-fits-few. With pricing now available, it’s a strong contender for anyone seeking a chair that truly fits—literally and figuratively.
