THE TAB YOU WERE GOING TO OPEN NEXT

Is it actually good, or just cheaper?

Independent reviewers rated the M18 well on back support. They also named the weak spots.

“Fantastic back support for those who need it.”

AppleInsider headline for its Sihoo M18 review, which scored it 4.0 out of 5.

AppleInsider

The reviewer called the lumbar support excellent and said assembly took 30 minutes to an hour. Their cons: it may not suit people over 6 ft 2 in or under 5 ft 3 in, and the armrests do not adjust sideways.

4.0 out of 5. Read the review from AppleInsider (opens in a new tab)

TechGearLab

Testers praised comfort and lumbar support without breaking the bank. They found the assembly instructions confusing, the wheels hard to roll and the lumbar adjustment stiff.

Back to options and price

WHERE THE MONEY GOES

Four parts you are actually paying for

Dimensions and ratings come from the product page FAQ.

Dual-adjustable lumbar

The support adjusts to sit against your lower back. This is the feature reviewers mention most.

Breathable mesh back

Air moves through the backrest, which helps in warm Australian rooms.

Adjustable headrest

It supports your head and neck when you sit upright or lean back.

2D armrests

Your arms rest at the right height. If you sit six hours or more a day, Sihoo points to the M18 Pro’s 4D armrests.

IF YOU ARE STILL DECIDING

SIHOO M18 vs M57: which one?

Plenty of people land here still choosing. Every row below comes from the two product pages.

Straight version: if you are 150 to 190 cm and sit under four hours a day, the M18 is enough chair and saves you $50. Want a full-mesh seat, 3D armrests and a recline that locks back to 126 degrees, take the M57. Sitting six hours or more? Sihoo says the M18 Pro is worth the extra $90.

BEFORE YOU BUY

Six things to know before you buy

These come from Sihoo’s own guidance and two independent testers. The AppleInsider test is from 2023.

You sit six hours or more a day

Sihoo says the M18 Pro, with 4D linked armrests and self-weight sensing recline, is worth the extra $90 at that point.

You are under 150 cm or over 190 cm

The listed range is 150 to 190 cm. Outside it, call us first.

You need more than 136 kg

The listed rating is 136 kg. We would not sell you a chair outside its rating.

You are over about 6 ft 2 in

AppleInsider said the M18 may not suit people over 6 ft 2 in (about 188 cm). Sihoo lists up to 190 cm.

You rest your forearms a lot

Two outside reviews noted the armrests do not adjust sideways.

You dislike assembling furniture

Testers took 16 minutes to an hour. TechGearLab found the instructions confusing.

The honest offer: reviewers rate the M18 well on back support and value, and both flag assembly and armrests. It is a good fit if you are 150 to 190 cm and sit under about four hours a day.

Give your lower back the support it has been missing.

Free delivery in 1 to 5 days. Three-year warranty. And if you are outside 150 to 190 cm, ring us first.
