ZenXit® – Malmstolen’s pressure-relieving backrest

Malmstolen has used ZenXit® for over 15 years – a self-forming, pressure-relieving, and ventilating material that replaces traditional foam. The result is higher comfort, better support, and longer durability.

What is ZenXit®?

ZenXit® is a patented three-dimensional material with an open network of fibers and air channels. Unlike traditional polyurethane foam, it is breathable, pressure-relieving, and provides an ergonomic, durable, and hygienic solution for seat and back support.

Sustainability and recycling

ZenXit® is made from 100% copolyester and can be recycled within circular systems – a future-proof choice for both health and the environment. It offers durability comparable to traditional foam and spring systems but with superior body support.

ZenXit® in Malmstolen

Malmstolen has worked with ZenXit® for over 15 years. The material forms the backrest in models such as Active R3, Active H5, Focus R4, and R7, replacing PU foam and becoming an integrated part of the construction. The result is a backrest that provides pressure relief, ventilation, and long-lasting comfort.

The open structure distributes weight evenly, reduces pressure points, and helps the body maintain a natural position – allowing you to sit longer, work with focus, and recover more effectively.

Malmstolen’s promise

We create chairs that prevent strain and promote recovery – for a healthier workday. With the Pascal by DUX® seat and ZenXit® back, Malmstolen sets the standard for how an office chair can support wellbeing and long-term health.
