Regular care maintains the quality of your products and ensures a long service life. Remove everyday dirt such as crumbs, dust, or sand regularly by gently vacuuming with an upholstery brush in the direction of the fibers.
Occasionally wipe the cover with a damp leather cloth, also in the direction of the fibers, to keep the fibers supple. Do not use microfiber cloths or steam cleaners.
Stains should be treated immediately. Dab liquids with an absorbent cloth or paper towel. Use distilled water only, clean from the outside in, and test cleaning agents on an inconspicuous area beforehand.
Avoid direct sunlight, strong artificial light, and heat sources, as these can dry out the leather and make it porous. Regular dusting or occasional wiping with a dry cloth is sufficient for care. Stains should be removed immediately and liquids dabbed off carefully – without rubbing. Grease stains on natural leather often disappear on their own as they are absorbed into the material.
Single-color and light-colored covers are particularly susceptible to stains and discoloration. Therefore, avoid contact with non-colorfast textiles such as jeans, pillows, or blankets. If discoloration occurs, clean the cover as soon as possible with suitable cleaning products. Residue on clothing can usually be removed by simply washing it.
Some backrests have a locking mechanism for height adjustment. Slowly pull the backrest upwards until the desired locking steps are reached (these are usually audible) and release it in the desired position.
If the backrest is moved down to the stop, the locking mechanism is released and the backrest returns to its starting position. Then press down on the backrest from above to secure the end stop and pull it back to the desired position.
The lever controls both the height adjustment and the rocking function. To activate the rocking function, pull the lever out to the side to release the lock. Pressing the lever again locks the rocker back in place – but only in an upright position. It is not possible to lock it in an inclined position.
The hand wheel is used to adjust the counterpressure of the backrest when the rocking or tilt function is activated. This spring force adjustment allows you to customize the resistance to your body weight and seating preferences. Turn the hand wheel to the right or left to increase or decrease the counterpressure.
You can find the matching feet in the Accessories subcategory under Office. If only the rubber lip is damaged, unfortunately it cannot be replaced individually, as it is pressed onto the metal foot by machine under high pressure. Manual replacement is therefore not possible.

Carpet casters are usually made of harder materials such as plastic or nylon and are smaller and lighter in design to ensure good mobility on carpeted floors.
Hard floor casters, on the other hand, have rubber-coated wheels that reduce resistance to movement on hard floors and protect the surface.
Our chair casters are designed for carpeted floors as standard. For laminate, cork, or parquet floors, we recommend using hard floor casters and an additional floor protection mat.
In addition, our casters are safety-braked. This means that they only release and roll under load. When unloaded, the integrated locking device prevents the chair from rolling away unintentionally.
The unique 3D mechanism from Topstar and Wagner is the flagship feature of the brands under the names "Sitness" and "Dondola." This special mechanism refers to the 3-dimensionally movable seat. It relieves pressure on the back through micro-movements, thereby training the back muscles. The mechanisms thus promote an ergonomic sitting posture. An office chair with 3D mechanics allows the user to remain in motion and sit healthily even while sitting.
There are various variations in terms of material, shape, and connection to the chair when it comes to armrests. TOPSTAR offers not only fixed armrests, but also ones that are adjustable in width, height, and radius. These adjustment options allow for individual adaptation to arm length and different activities. There are also different connection options, such as brackets, flat iron, or direct connection to the seat, which are used depending on the model and mechanism.
Classic backrest: A classic backrest is a type of backrest found in many traditional chair designs. It usually consists of a sturdy frame upholstered with padding or other soft material. This type of backrest provides support and comfort for the user and is made of durable materials that will last a long time.
Upholstered backrest: An upholstered backrest is a backrest that is padded with upholstery or another soft material. This type of backrest offers the user additional comfort and support and can be found in many different designs and styles.
Mesh backrest: A mesh backrest is a type of backrest made from a network of grid or wire mesh. This type of backrest provides the user with good air circulation, which prevents sweating in the back area after prolonged sitting.
Laminated backrest: A laminated backrest is a backrest that is coated with a material (e.g., leather or fabric) to protect or embellish it. This type of backrest is usually particularly easy to care for and durable and offers the user a pleasant feel. These backrests are made of robust materials and are available in a variety of colors and designs. They can be found in many modern pieces of furniture and offer a good alternative to classic upholstered backrests.
A base is an important part of an office chair. It is located under the seat and supports the user's weight. There are different types of bases, such as aluminum, steel, or plastic bases. A stable base ensures good stability and an ergonomic posture for the user.
Chair casters are small wheels attached to the base of a chair to increase its mobility. There are different types of chair casters, such as casters for hard floors, parquet, or laminate, which adapt to the respective floor coverings and do not damage them, or carpet casters, which are designed exclusively for carpets.
Ergonomics refers to the adaptation of working conditions to human needs and abilities. In relation to chairs, this means that they are adapted to the needs and requirements of the user in order to avoid discomfort and pain. An ergonomic chair should support the spine, legs, arms, and back and be adjustable. It can help prevent back pain and tension in the workplace and increase productivity.
Fabric for chairs is an important component of seating furniture. There are different types of fabrics used for chairs, such as cotton, polyester, and microfiber. Our gaming chairs often use breathable and durable fabrics to ensure longevity and comfort. The right fabric can also help to remove stains from the chair easily and give it an attractive appearance.
Foams differ in various characteristics such as material, shape, quality, and fire behavior. The material from which foams are made is usually CFC-free polyurethane. There are two types of foams: block-cut foam, which is cut from a block, and molded foam, which is poured into a mold. Foams can be smooth or specially shaped. The quality of foams is determined by their thickness, density, and compression hardness. The density indicates the density of the material (in kg/m³) and the compression hardness indicates the indentation hardness (in kPa or N).
Gas springs are mechanical components used in most of our office chairs to adjust the height of the seat. They consist of a metal cylinder filled with a pressurized gaseous liquid. When the seat is adjusted, the pressure in the spring changes, allowing for height adjustment. The advantages are lightness, simplicity, and reliability. Gas springs are found in many types of office chairs, such as modern, medical, and industrial chairs.
A gas spring allows for easy adjustment of the seat height on office chairs. To replace or remove the gas spring, you usually have to detach it from the seat mount. It is important to use the correct size gas spring and ensure that it is installed correctly to ensure safe use of the chair.
Most TOPSTAR products have the GS seal from Intertek Deutschland GmbH and meet all safety requirements in accordance with the relevant standards. These standards serve as the basis for testing:
* DIN EN 1335 for office swivel chairs
* DIN EN 1729 for children's swivel chairs
* DIN EN 12520 for seating furniture in living areas
* DIN EN 16139 for visitor chairs and conference chairs
* DIN EN 16955 for gas springs
Hard floor castors are castors that have been specially developed for use on hard floor coverings such as wood, linoleum, or tiles. They are found in office chairs to enable easy movement and mobility when sitting on hard surfaces. Hard floor castors are usually made of softer materials such as rubber to prevent scratches or damage to hard floor coverings.
Headrest: A headrest is a component of a chair or seat that serves to support and relieve pressure on the user's head. There are two types of headrests: clip-on headrests and fixed headrests. A clip-on headrest can be easily removed and used or not used as desired, while a fixed headrest is permanently attached to a specific location and cannot be easily removed.
Magnetic lumbar support: A magnetic lumbar support is a type of lumbar support that uses magnetic resistance to keep the user's spine in a natural and healthy position. This type of lumbar support can be easily adjusted by adjusting the strength of the magnetic resistance.
Fixed integrated lumbar support: A fixed integrated lumbar support is a lumbar support that is permanently integrated into a chair or seat and cannot be removed or adjusted. This type of lumbar support is usually found in high-quality ergonomic chairs and serves to keep the user's spine in a natural and healthy position.
TOPSTAR has been certified according to ISO 9001 (quality management) and ISO 14001 (environmental management) since September 2008. These certifications refer to the company, but not directly to the product.
The knee tilt mechanism is a movement mechanism in office chairs that synchronizes the tilting movement of the seat and backrest. This means that when the user leans forward, the backrest also tilts forward and vice versa. This supports an upright and natural sitting posture and helps to prevent back pain and tension. The intensity of the mechanism can also be adjusted on our models.
Lordosis: Lordosis refers to the natural forward curvature of the spine. It is a physiological curvature that occurs in the lumbar spine and helps the body maintain an upright posture. Excessive lordosis is called hyperlordosis and can cause pain.
The lumbar support is an ergonomic feature found in a wide range of office chairs. It is located in the lumbar spine area and supports the natural curvature of the spine. Using a lumbar support can reduce strain on the lumbar spine and thus prevent back pain and tension. It is important that the lumbar support is adjusted correctly in order to achieve the desired effect.
Melamine coating
A melamine coating is a surface protection that is applied to wood-based materials. It is resistant to stains and wear and tear and has a smooth surface. The melamine coating is easy to clean and maintain, but it is not recommended to make it yourself as it requires special requirements and precautions.
A neck support is an important part of an office chair or armchair, as it helps to prevent tension and pain in the neck area. An orthopedic neck support is specially designed to support the neck and can promote an ergonomic sitting position. There are also neck supports designed for use in armchairs to make sitting more comfortable while watching TV or reading. It is important to adjust the neck support correctly to achieve the best possible effect.
The mechanism of a chair refers to the way the chair moves and adapts to the user's body. There are different types of mechanisms used in chairs, including:
* Tilt mechanism: A tilt mechanism allows the user to gently rock the chair back and forth. This can help promote blood circulation and reduce muscle tension.
* Permanent contact mechanism: A permanent contact mechanism allows the user to adjust the angle of the backrest constantly and continuously.
* Synchronous/point synchronous mechanism: The synchronous mechanism allows the user to adjust the tilt of the backrest and the tilt of the seat simultaneously. A point synchronous mechanism allows the user to adjust the tilt of the backrest and the tilt of the seat independently of each other.
A type of seat mechanism in office chairs in which the movement of the seat and backrest is decoupled and asynchronous. The mobility of the seat and backrest can be adjusted individually. In contrast, there is the synchronous mechanism, in which movement is synchronous. Permanent contact mechanisms are often perceived as more ergonomic, as individual adjustment and more varied settings offer more options.
Point synchronous mechanism: A technology used in office chairs that allows the backrest to be adjusted in synchronization with the seat. This enables optimal adjustment to the user's sitting position and supports an upright posture. The point synchronous mechanism allows the user to individually adjust the backrest and seat to their body weight and height in order to find the optimal ergonomic position.
A seat refers to the part of a chair on which the user sits. A replacement seat for a chair can be purchased if the original seat is damaged or worn out. A raised seat can be useful for users with special requirements, such as older people or people with certain physical limitations. A gaming chair may have a wider seat to provide more space and comfort for longer periods of sitting.
Seat height
Seating time refers to the amount of time spent sitting in a chair. It is important to limit the amount of time spent sitting in an office chair in order to avoid back and health problems. The recommended sitting time on an office chair varies depending on expert opinion, but breaks and movement during work are important to keep the blood circulation and muscles active. An ergonomically correct office chair with a 3-dimensionally movable seat, backrest, and seat height can help make sitting time more comfortable and healthier.
Synchronous mechanism is a mechanism used in office chairs. It allows the user to adjust the tilt angles of the backrest and seat simultaneously and in a specific ratio. This supports an ergonomic and comfortable sitting position. You will find the synchronous mechanism in our large selection of chairs among many different office chairs.
The rocking mechanism in chairs allows the user to dynamically adjust the sitting position. It is installed under the seat. The rocking mechanism in an office chair allows the sitting position to be individually adjusted, thus expanding the range of adjustment options. A defective rocking mechanism can be repaired by replacing the defective part with a spare part.
Upholstery refers to the way a chair is padded. It can be made of different materials such as mesh, leather, or fabric. Upholstery provides additional comfort and support when sitting. Wooden chairs with upholstery offer both the look of wood and the added comfort of padding. The choice of upholstery material depends on personal preferences and requirements.
