As the demands for ergonomics and comfort in the workplace continue to rise, choosing the right office chair is becoming increasingly important. The Sihoo Doro S300 with its anti-gravity system catches many people’s eye thanks to its distinctive design and built-in features. But what exactly does this trend-setting office chair offer, and is it really worth the money? Find out this and much more in the article below.
The Sihoo Doro S300 in detail
The Chinese manufacturer Sihoo offers ergonomic office chairs in every price range. With the high-end model Sihoo Doro S300, they combine outstanding functionality with an elegant design that even won the German Design Award in 2023. In addition to a five-year warranty and a 30-day return policy, the office chair offers the following features:
Design: The futuristic design with the split lumbar support and mesh fabric with integrated “Italian Velvet” invites you to relax in breathable comfort. The glossy main frame on the backrest is also particularly eye-catching, connecting the anti-gravity mechanism, the split lumbar support and the upper section of the backrest with integrated headrest.
Backrest: The backrest is divided into two sections. The upper section, which is independently height-adjustable and features a built-in headrest, and the lower section, which forms the split lumbar support. The independent backrest can be adjusted to five height settings. It is important to note that adjusting the backrest simultaneously adjusts the headrest. As a result, the headrest cannot be used in every position. The split lumbar support provides comprehensive and dynamic support for the lower back. It is designed to adapt to different body shapes and sitting positions. The lumbar support also features its own gas spring, allowing the depth to be adjusted.
Seat: Like the backrest, the seat is also covered with breathable mesh fabric. The seat can be adjusted in height, depth and tilt angle. The tilt tension of the anti-gravity system can be changed using a rotary knob.
Anti-gravity system: The standout feature of the Sihoo Doro S300 is its anti-gravity mechanism, designed to make you feel almost weightless while seated. Four springs beneath the seat create a shock-absorbing effect, both when sitting down and when standing up. In addition to reducing strain on the spinal discs and muscles, this is intended to create a kind of “weightless” effect. This mechanism also allows for an especially wide recline angle (130 °). As the name suggests, the mechanism was inspired by aerospace engineering.
6D armrests: The armrests of the Sihoo Doro S300 offer an especially wide range of adjustment options. They can be adjusted in height, depth, width, side angle and upward angle. They also move in sync with the backrest.
Size and load capacity: Thanks to its extensive adjustment options, the Sihoo Doro S300 can be used by people with a height of 1,50 m to 1,90 m. The maximum load capacity is 136 kg.
All in all, the Sihoo Doro S300 is a truly innovative and ergonomic office chair with a few minor drawbacks. At a current price of 899,99 € for the black version and 909,99 € for the white-grey version (RRP as of 10/24), this desk chair definitely sits in the upper price segment. That is why it can be very worthwhile to find out about possible alternatives as well.
What alternatives are there?
If you are interested not only in the Sihoo Doro S300 but also in other high-quality ergonomic office chairs, the manufacturer hjh OFFICE can definitely keep up with its ERGOHUMAN range, which has been proven for over 15 years. In terms of price, it starts with the ERGOHUMAN SLIM ECO M starting at 489,90 € (as of 10/24) and topping out at 879,90 € (as of 1/25) for the fully equipped ERGOHUMAN PLUS LEGPRO . The absolute best-selling model from hjh OFFICE, however, is the ERGOHUMAN GEN2 (799,90 € as of 10/24).
ERGOHUMAN GEN2
The second generation of the proven ERGOHUMAN series from hjh OFFICE combines modern design with a wide range of individual adjustment options that make working from home or in the office much easier. This modern high-end office chair is available in 5 colours, allowing it to blend perfectly into almost any workspace. The ergonomic design of this designer chair takes every aspect of healthy sitting posture into account. Thanks to the adjustable seat depth, the seat can be tailored to your personal needs and is made from an extremely hard-wearing mesh fabric (60,000 abrasion cycles) that remains durable even with intensive use. The 4D armrests with medium-firm soft pad support can be adjusted horizontally, vertically, in width and radially, so your arms are always optimally supported. A special comfort feature is the designer backrest with an adjustable lumbar support, which provides ideal support for your back and helps prevent tension. The counterpressure of the lumbar support can be individually adjusted to the user by means of a rotary wheel. This is complemented by the 2D headrest, which can be adjusted in height and tilt to provide perfect support for the neck as well. Further customisation is provided by the point-synchronised mechanism, which not only adjusts the seat and backrest tilt individually to your body weight, but can also be locked in five positions. The ERGOHUMAN GEN2 thus supports an ergonomically perfect posture, ideal for long working hours or intensive gaming sessions. The quality of the ERGOHUMAN GEN2 is also reflected in its robust aluminium frame construction, which ensures stability and durability. Complemented by a curved designer base and unbraked multifunction castors, mobility and versatility are guaranteed on any floor surface. This chair meets all relevant safety requirements for office and commercial use in accordance with DIN EN 1335 Parts 1-3. The Smart Premium Collection offers additional benefits such as an extended four-year warranty and exclusive telephone advice. The ERGOHUMAN GEN2 is an investment in your well-being – eliminate risks and maximise comfort.
The ERGOHUMAN series
The major advantage of this product range is that it offers an individual, perfectly suited solution for every need and every user. Depending on the model, the adjustment options for the armrests differ, for example. From 3D to 5D armrests and a sophisticated 12-zone mesh covering on the ERGOHUMAN SIGNATURE to a gaming position and a fiberglass-reinforced high-tech mechanism on the ERGOHUMAN ULTRA , the different models offer many special features.
Conclusion
The Sihoo Doro S300 is a modern, ergonomically well-designed office chair packed with a wide range of features. The anti-gravity system is certainly one of its most exciting features, intended to give the user an almost weightless sitting experience and reduce strain on the spinal discs and muscles. Winning the German Design Award 2023 underlines the combination of design and functionality. However, with a price tag of just under 900 euros, the Sihoo Doro S300 sits in the upper price segment, making it a purchase that deserves careful consideration. For those looking for alternatives, the market offers some exciting options. The ERGOHUMAN series from hjh OFFICE, especially the ERGOHUMAN GEN2 model, offers comparable quality and versatility at an even lower price. This series stands out for its adaptability and its focus on ergonomic standards, which are crucial for long working hours. Ultimately, choosing the ideal office chair is always a personal decision that depends on individual needs and the available budget.
