Spex Manta Classic Back Support

The Spex Manta Classic combines two of Spex Seating’s most popular back support designs into one versatile solution. It merges the sleek, wraparound shape of the Spex Manta with the cube contouring capabilities of the Spex Classic, delivering personalised support in a single, integrated system.

Inside, built-in lateral trunk supports and pressure-relieving foam provide targeted comfort, while the cube contouring technology allows the back support to be shaped on the spot for a precise fit. The smooth, breathable cover wraps around the entire support, offering both comfort and durability for daily use.

Designed for ease of use, the Spex Manta Classic can be adjusted while the user is seated, making it simple to provide tailored support without disruption. Its all-in-one design integrates the laterals and back support into a sleek, encompassing shape, delivering both functionality and style.

With the Spex Manta Classic, users enjoy a fully personalised, comfortable, and supportive seating solution that adapts to their individual needs.
