From people who paid for it

Real experiences from long-term owners

Verified Owner

"Recently had lumbar back surgery and was looking for support without spinal pressure. The S300 is absolute perfection."

Daniel W.

Verified Owner

"Seamless transaction. Easy to assemble. Provides excellent ergonomic support for long consulting days with much leaning forwards to examine patients."

Mark G.

Verified Owner

"I am so glad I decided to retire my faithful old leather recliner made locally 22 years ago with the S300. I've lived in it since it arrived 4 weeks ago."

Eric C.

Software Engineer · Brisbane

Verified Owner

"Very happy with the chair as I'm able to adapt many things especially the lower back support. The main thing I find annoying is how the arm rest's swivel as I find myself knocking them out of place."

James K.

Author & Journalist · Adelaide

Verified Owner

"I can sit in it for hours without any back or shoulder pain, unlike my old cheap chair. Very easy to assemble, and didn't take long to adjust to my height and size."

Watch it move

Three people who took it apart before you did

You cannot feel a recline through a screen. You can watch someone else lean back in it. None of these are ours.

FORBES

Highly Recommended

"One of the most comfortable chairs I have used. The lumbar support did not trigger my recurring back pain."

ARIELLE

Editor's Choice

"4.8 out of 5. On the seat height ceiling, which is our most-asked question: it is roughly on par with industry standards and will cover 95% of users."

BTOD

4.8 / 5 Rating

"The overall adjustment range is wide and should fit users up to about the 80th percentile. Rated the recline class-leading for the price bracket."

TECHRADAR

5-Star Engineering

"Verdict: Recommended. Five stars for design, ease of use and practicality. Four for price. Their one real complaint was the armrests."

Where the money goes

Three parts you are actually paying for

A seat on four steel springs

A seat on four steel springs

Four coil springs instead of a hard base, so the seat absorbs your movement rather than resisting it. Above roughly 90kg they compress most of the way, so heavier users get a firm supported seat rather than a floating one.

Recline that reads your weight

Recline that reads your weight

Glass fibre plates set the tilt resistance across a rated 40 to 100kg range. Someone at 60kg and someone at 95kg both get a recline that holds. Neither touches a dial.

Two lumbar pads, not one bump

Two lumbar pads, not one bump

Most chairs aim one fixed bump at an average spine. This uses two wing-shaped pads on a gas lift, so you set the height to your own lower back. It is the part owners with existing back problems keep singling out.

If you are still deciding between models

S300, C300, or spend four times as much?

Before you buy

Five things you will not like about it

All five come from independent reviewers or verified owners. You will find them in your next tab anyway.

1

The armrests do not lock.

Lean on one and it swivels. Three reviewers and at least one owner named this as their main annoyance. If you rest real weight on armrests, it will bother you daily.

2

Three recline positions, not infinite tilt.

100, 110 and 130 degrees. Forbes wanted the angles in between and could not get them.

3

The headrest is part of the backrest.

A tall, well padded back, not a separate adjustable headrest. If that is a must-have, wrong chair.

4

Over 6 foot 4, the seat pan runs short.

Covered in the fit check above. Fits most people well, very tall people adequately.

5

Assembly takes about 45 minutes.

Owners call it easy, not quick. Some parts are heavy enough that a second person helps. Do not start it at 11pm.

Eric C. kept his last chair 22 years. You will keep this one about as long as it lasts.

Free delivery in 1 to 5 days. Three-year warranty. And if you are over six foot four, we told you not to.

ANSWERS FROM OUR COHORT

Commonly Asked Queries

What is the seat height range?

47 to 55.5cm on the gas lift, with seat depth from 40 to 47cm. Those two set the supported range of 150 to 190cm.

What is the maximum weight capacity?

136kg, BIFMA tested. Two different numbers matter here: 136kg is what it holds, 40 to 100kg is where the weight-calibrated tilt still works as designed. Above roughly 90kg the springs compress most of the way, so you get a firm supported seat rather than a floating one.

How long does delivery take in Australia?

1 to 5 business days, free, Australia-wide. [CONFIRM CURRENT DISPATCH WINDOW AND WAREHOUSE BEFORE LAUNCH. If a colourway is on backorder, show that on the option itself rather than after payment.]

Does it come with a footrest?

Only the footrest variants, at $989. A $40 difference, and the most common regret in our own reviews is not taking it.

Do the armrests lock in place?

No. They adjust in six directions and swivel if you lean hard on them. It is the most common criticism in both independent reviews and our own, and we are not going to pretend otherwise.

What does the 3-year warranty cover?

Frame, gas lift and reclining mechanism. Claims go through 1300 002 580 or support@sihoo.com.au, Monday to Friday 8:00 to 5:30 AEST. [ADD A TYPICAL RESOLUTION TIME ONCE YOU CAN STAND BEHIND THE NUMBER.]
