Autonomous warranty for office chairs
The short version
Autonomous covers office chairs in full for life, with no partial coverage after that. That full coverage is longer than most of the 26 brands we compared, which typically cover nothing in full. You don't need to register to get this coverage.
From Autonomous's published warranty, checked October 2026.
