Hello everyone, I have measured 60+ ergonomic chairs @London August, this article will explain a few popular ergonomic chairs with a price of 1,000 yuan that I have measured, and you can take a look at the budget of about 1000-2000, these ergonomic chairs are:
(1) Takata Sailei (about 1500): As a high-end brand that has been focusing on foreign markets, Takata GTChair may not have heard much of Takada in China (those who know a little bit about the ergonomic chair should have heard of the spectrum butterfly, and the butterfly chair is developed and produced by Takata), Takata's ergonomic chair I have tested a few, and it is still quite good in all aspects. Saile is a new mid-range ergonomic chair launched by Gaotian in the domestic market at a price of 1500, and the overall performance in all aspects is very good after the measurement, the waist and sacrum support are quite excellent, the large recline angle lunch break experience is good (160°), the magic armrests are supported whether they are sitting or leaning back, and the back of the chair supports up and down adjustment, which can be adapted to people of different heights of 150-190cm.
(2) Sihoo V1 (about 1500): Sihoo is still very well-known in the domestic ergonomic chair industry, so I won't say more here, V1 is a classic ergonomic chair at the price of Sihoo 1500, the whole chair is wide in size, and the lumbar support is very good, which is more suitable for large people.
(3) Yongyi X3 climber (about 1300): Yongyi, as the first listed chair company in China, is still quite famous in the office chair industry, X3 climber is an ergonomic chair with good comprehensive performance in all aspects of Yongyi 1500 price.
(4) Godley V1 (about 1500): Godley V1 This ergonomic chair is currently popular on the Internet, mainly because it supports 100 days of free trial sitting, but this chair is hard as a whole (cushion mesh and backrest), plus the seat depth is not very large, it is not recommended to choose large people
(5) Love tree L1 (about 1500): Love tree L1 This ergonomic chair has more readers, this chair is a more solid material at the price of 1500, there are no obvious characteristics, but there are no obvious shortcomings, the whole is decent
(6) Enova Shu Lie Home (about 1000): The Enova Shu Lie Home under Jingyi has done a lot of marketing recently, and there are more readers who ask about this paragraph, so I started with one, and the overall experience is OK in all aspects, but the waist and sacrum support are a little less interesting.
(7) Henglin lonely brave (about 1500): Henglin is the second listed chair company in China after Yongyi, there is no problem with the quality of their products in all aspects, the lonely brave is currently the main popular model of Henglin, the whole chair size is wide, the experience is acceptable, and it is more suitable for large people
(8) Xiangyaojia F3A (about 1600): Xiangyaojia is a brand on the Songlin furniture line, focusing on low-elastic mesh (hard mesh) and sacral support, there are not many ergonomic chairs supported by the sacrum in the early days, this one is also more distinctive, and many ergonomic chairs are also supported by the sacrum, which is decent on the whole
Some specific parameter information of these ergonomic chairs can be referred to the following table
In this article, I will talk about the back, armrests, headrests, and bases
1. Chair back (lumbar support)
Let's take a look at the back of the chair first, the back of the chair is an important part of the whole ergonomic chair, which is mainly to provide an effective support for our lumbar to reduce the force of the sedentary intervertebral disc and prevent the intervertebral disc from being compressed for a long time and causing bulge, herniation and even prolapse.
If the lumbar spine is in a sub-healthy state (the lumbar spine is not very good, the lumbar process has been operated on, etc.), or if you are sedentary for a long time, it is recommended to give priority to the ergonomic chair that can give sacral support It will be safer.
Then the back and lumbar support of the ergonomic chair are best to choose the kind that supports the adjustment, because everyone's height is different, so the position of the lumbar spine and sacrum will also be different, and the ergonomic chair that supports the lifting and adjustment of the chair back should be more accurate for the support of the sacrum and lumbar spine, and you can adjust the support position that suits you. Generally, it is recommended that you start to choose an ergonomic chair with a price of more than 1000, basically only the chair at this price can support the back of the chair to lift, and the low-cost kind of waist and sacrum support is difficult to adapt to the vast majority of people, and the support is almost meaningful.
Then because everyone's weight is different, the need for waist support is not the same, so the kind of lumbar support adjustment can be better for body type compatibility, if the weight of the larger group of people, if the support of the waist and sacrum is not enough, then the support will become a decoration, it is a kind of goods.
In addition, if you have high requirements for relaxation/entertainment/lunch break, then you also need to consider the angle of reclining of the chair and the gear locked, the greater the recline angle, the better the lunch break experience, the more gears that support locking, and the wider the applicable scenarios, the more you can adjust the recline angle that suits you.
Here's a look at how these ergonomic chairs perform in terms of lumbar support, sacral support, and recline
(1) Lumbar support
In terms of the accuracy of lumbar support, in addition to the Enova Comfort Home, the backs of these other models support up and down adjustment, so the compatibility for height will be better.
However, the price of enova is the cheapest of these after all, and it seems to be understandable, but its top configuration is also a little more than 1000, and it will be more reasonable if you add a chair back lifting adjustment, and there are many ergonomic chairs with 1000 prices that support chairback lifting (such as Zhijia 1606/Sihoo M57C, Beijing Tokyo Z9E2 generation).
Then on the waist support strength, among them, Takata Sailei's lumbar support is adjusted before and after, and Yongyi X3 climber's lumbar support supports two-gear angle adjustment, so it is moderate & strong in terms of waist support strength.
- Takata Sailei: The lumbar support supports 5 levels of adjustment before and after, which is more accurate in the strength of the lumbar support, and also supports 15° adaptive rotation, so that even if your waist angle changes, it can follow the support and prevent the empty waist
- Yongyi X3 Climber: Lumbar support two gears of angle adjustment (the support strength can be selected from two gears)
- Sihoo V1 has a relatively large waist curvature, so the support strength is relatively strong, and there is an independent lumbar support, the support strength is stronger, which is suitable for people who are healthy and weigh a little more and like strong waist support.
- Godley V1 due to the stiffness of the mesh + the large arc of the waist, so the waist support strength is also relatively strong.
- Love tree L1, enova Shu Lie Home, Henglin Lonely Brave because of the use of adaptive elastic lumbar support (plus the mesh soft and hard moderate), Xiangyaojia F3A is a fixed lumbar support (but because the lumbar support is relatively smooth), so for people with little weight, the waist support is moderate, and for people with large weight, there will be insufficient waist support, which should be noted.
In general, the best compatibility for weight is Takada Sailei, followed by Yongyi X3 climber, whose waist support strength supports adjustment.
Sihoo V1 and Godley V1 have the strongest lumbar support, which is more suitable for people who are a little heavier, or who prefer strong waist support.
Love Tree L1, enova Shuliejia, Henglin Lonely Brave and Xiangyaojia F3A have moderate waist support, which is suitable for people with medium/thin body type.
(2) Sacral support
Let's look at the sacrum support, which is a little below our lumbar vertebra and a little above the tail vertebrae
Therefore, the position of the lumbar can not be too high, otherwise it can only support the waist and not to the sacrum, taking me personally as an example (168cm), the one who can give me sacrum support is Takada Sailei, Godley V1, Love Tree L1, Xiangyaojia F3A; Among them, the Enova Comfort Home is more awkward, just supported between my lumbosacral (and its chair back can't be adjusted upward, so even the waist can't be fully supported); The Sihoo V1, Yongyi X3 climber, and Henglin Lonely Brave can be given lumbar support because the lumbar position is higher (plus the back of the chair also supports up and down adjustment). Of course, if you are taller or have a longer upper body, then it is possible to support the sacrum like enova Shuliejia, Xihao V1, Yongyi X3 climber and Henglin Lonely Brave.
- The ones that can be supported to the sacrum are: Takada Sailei, Godley V1, Love Tree L1, and Xiangyaojia F3A
- Those who can't support the sacrum are: enova Shu Lie Home, Sihoo V1, Yongyi X3 Climber, and Henglin Lonely Brave
(3) Lean angle
Finally, look at the recline angle, of which Takata Sailei has the largest recline angle (160 °), and supports 5 gear locking, followed by Henglin Lonely Brave Lean can reach 150 °, supporting 4 gear locking, these two lunch break experience will be better, and the applicable scenarios are also wider, and the specific parameters of these recline angles can be seen in the following table
That's all for the back of the chair, and finally to summarize
- In terms of the accuracy of lumbar support, except for the enova Comfortable Reclining Home, which does not support the back of the chair to adjust up and down, several other models are supported, so it has better adaptability for people of different body types; In terms of waist support, Takata Sailei's lumbar support is adjusted 2cm before and after, so it can adapt to the needs of most body types for waist support.
- In terms of sacral support, Takada Sailei, Godley V1, Love Tree L1, and Xiangyaojia F3A can all support the sacrum, if the lumbar spine is not very good, the lumbar process has undergone surgery, etc., or sedentary people can give priority to these models.
- In terms of recline angle, the recline angle of Takada Sailei and Henglin Lonely Brave is relatively large, and there are more suitable scenarios, which are recommended for strong demand for napping
Finally, the parameters related to the seat back can be referred to the following table
2. Handrails (arm support)
Let's take a look at the armrest, the armrest is a second-level important part in the whole ergonomic chair, it is mainly to provide a support for our arms, like the conventional 3D armrests (up and down, back and forth, left and right rotation adjustment) can provide a support for our arms when we sit upright to work/study.
However, if you still have the need to lie back and rest/play mobile entertainment, you can consider choosing an armrest that supports 180° rotation or backward linkage, so that your arms will also have a support when you lean back.
Among these ergonomic chairs, only Takata Sailei supports 270° rotation, Yongyi X3 climber supports 180° rotation, and enova Comfort Lying Home supports backward linkage, which can not only give arm support when sitting upright, but also give better arm support when lying back to rest/play with mobile phones.
Yongyi X3 climber's latest handrail supports 180° rotation, but the climber I bought here some time ago does not support it, I took Yongyi's new Flow360 as an example, the handrails are the same
The specific armrest adjustment parameters of these ergonomic chairs can be seen in the following table
3. Headrest (neck support)
Let's take a look at the headrest, the headrest is also a second-level important part in the entire ergonomic chair, the main reason is that the headrest is basically not used when you sit upright to work/study, and can only be used when leaning back to rest.
Of course, the richer the adjustment of the headrest, the more you can adjust to the support point that is more suitable for your neck, and it should be noted here that although it is called a headrest, it actually provides support for your neck, so it is actually more suitable to call it a neck pillow. Don't put the headrest on the back of your head (misuse), it will be uncomfortable and even nauseous over time.
Among these ergonomic chairs, among them, Takata Sailei, Yongyi X3 Climber, Love Tree L1, Xiangyaojia F3A supports 3D adjustment (up and down, front and back, rotation), the compatibility of body type is the best, you can adjust to the support point suitable for your neck, and some specific parameters can be seen in the table below
4. Base (hip support)
Finally, let's look at the base, the base is one of the more important parts of the whole ergonomic chair, so I will talk about it last.
When we sit down, because the hips bear 70% of the weight of the human body, whether a chair is good or not, whether you are comfortable to sit on, it all depends on the base (whether you are comfortable or not depends on the back of the chair). There are also many operations that must be completed on the base (such as seat height adjustment, seat depth adjustment, recline locking, etc.), and whether the operation is convenient will also affect our use experience.
The base I will talk about from the upper cushion and the lower chassis
(1) Seat cushion
If the weight is not particularly large (less than 100kg), in fact, the comfort of choosing mesh will be higher, and the breathability is good in summer. But if the weight is relatively large and the mesh chair can't sit, then there is no choice but to choose a sponge cushion.
The cushions of these ergonomic chairs are all mesh, and there are differences in hardness, among which Takada Sailei, Xihao V1, Yongyi X3 Climber, and enova Shulaijia mesh belong to the kind of moderate hardness and softness, and people who are not very heavy can sit, and the experience will be better and the comfort will be higher.
However, the front end of the seat cushion of Sihoo V1 and Yongyi X3 climber is equipped with a shaping sponge, so people with a little more weight need to pay attention to the numbness of their legs if they have sensitive thigh support.
Finally, like Godley V1, Love Tree L1, Henglin Lonely Brave, Xiangyaojia F3A mesh is a little harder, its elasticity is relatively average, but the support will be better, more suitable for people with a little more weight.
Among them, Love Tree L1, Henglin Lonely Brave, and Xiangyaojia F3A also have shaped sponges at the front end of the cushions, but because their mesh is hard, the perception of the shaped sponge will not be particularly obvious when sitting on it (especially like Xiangyaojia F3A, the whole chair surface is relatively flat, and you can hardly feel the existence of the shaped sponge when you sit on it).
Here is why the front end of the cushion is added with a shaped sponge, mainly because the support of the mesh is not enough, I am afraid that I will not be able to bear it for a long time, and the support strength of the better mesh cloth is enough to do not need to add, of course, it is not that the support strength of the shaped sponge is not enough.
(2) Chassis
Let's look at the chassis, the chassis is one of the core parts of the entire ergonomic chair (its importance is equivalent to the engine for the car), many operations must be completed on the chassis, and the operation mode of these ergonomic chairs is mainly divided into rod control and wire control
Among them, Sihoo V1, Godley V1, and Love Tree L1 use traditional rod control, which is relatively troublesome to operate, and you need to bend down to adjust the seat height, seat depth, and recline locking.
And Gaotian Sailei, Yongyi X3 climber, enova Shu Lie Home, Henglin Lonely Brave, Xiangyaojia F3A adopts wire control operation, the wire control switch is convenient at the base, you can reach it with your hand, and the operation is relatively more convenient.
In addition to operation, it is also necessary to pay attention to the aspect of recline damping control, such as Sihoo V1, Love Tree L1, and Xiangyaojia F3A use a mechanical chassis, which requires manual adjustment of the recline damping.
Here I want to complain about the love tree L1,That knob,I twisted dozens of turns of tilt damping before there was a slight change,Completely adjusted to the right for me tilt damping,I have to adjust it for 1 minute,Like I found a lot of people of different body types to try to sit when I was doing the actual measurement,Everyone's weight is different,So the recline strength needs to be adjusted,Every time I tune to this old hard work,The experience is quite bad,Of course, if you sit alone,The first time you adjust it, it doesn't have to be adjusted.
And Gaotian Sailei, Yongyi X3 climber, Godley V1, enova Shu Lie Home, Henglin Lonely Brave uses an adaptive chassis, so there is no need to manually adjust the tilt damping, it will be automatically adjusted according to the user's weight, more intelligent, but not all chassis are so intelligent, among them, like Godley V1, Henglin Lonely Brave for thin people The tilt damping is a little bit larger (that is, you have to lean back a little bit to pad your feet or support the handrail to lean down), and there is no problem with the others, The lean is still relatively smooth and smooth.
Okay,The base part finally summarizes,From my personal experience,The overall comfort of the cushion is relatively high、Yongyi X3 climber and enova Shu Lie Home,The other mesh is a little stiffer for me,Elasticity and comfort are more average。 In terms of adjusting the operation (including seat height, seat depth, recline locking, and recline strength) and recline strength, the overall performance of Takata Sailei, Yongyi X3 climber, and enova Shulie Home is relatively good, easy to operate, and appropriate recline strength.
Information about the specific bases of these ergonomic chairs can be referred to the table below
summary
That's all for the comparison of these ergonomic chairs, and finally to summarize, some of their respective parameter information can be seen in the table below
Among these ergonomic chairs, my personal recommendation is Takada Sailei, first of all, it has no problem in terms of lumbar support accuracy (chair back support up and down adjustment) and support strength (lumbar support front and back adjustment), and the sacrum can also give support (sedentary people, people with poor lumbar spine can choose this).
The mesh of the cushion is moderately soft and hard, the comfort is also good, and the maximum recline supports 160° five-level locking, which is suitable for a wide range of scenarios. The 4D armrests can not only give good arm support when sitting upright, but also give arm support when resting backwards, and the 3D headrest can adapt to most body types, with a height of 155-185cm and a weight of less than 90kg, there is no problem in choosing this ergonomic chair. And it is also a 5-year warranty for the whole chair, a 12-year warranty, and the after-sales is not bad.
If your budget is about 1500, you can choose this ergonomic chair if you have the right body type, and the overall cost performance and experience are still very good.
If you don't have any need for sacral support, you can consider Yongyi X3 climber, this is no problem in terms of lumbar support, 4D armrests + 3D headrest, the chassis is adaptive wire control, that is, there is a shaped sponge at the front end of the cushion, there is no problem with the choice within 80kg, the height is 160-180cm, you can sit, you can consider this one if you like the brand Yongyi.
In addition, if it is a large group of people, you can consider Sihoo V1 if you also have no requirements for sacral support, its waist support is relatively strong, and the size of the whole chair is relatively wider, and it can be compatible with tall people like 190cm (like 185-190cm, if you don't have too many choices, you can consider this one), and it is not a big problem to weigh less than 100kg.
Several other models are decent as a whole, such as Godley V1, the mesh of the whole chair is relatively hard, the waist is supported by a large arc, and the support strength is relatively strong, although it can be dragged to the sacrum, but the seat depth is too small, and the seat depth above 175cm is enough to choke, but this chair supports 100 days of free trial sitting, and if you are not satisfied, you can return it with free shipping, and you can consider trying it.
Love treeL1It's decent,There are no obvious features and shortcomings,enova Comfortable Lying Home is mainly cheap,The sitting experience is OK,But in terms of lumbar support, it will be very picky,Because it does not support the back of the chair to lift and adjust,So the lumbar support and sacral support are a little bit worse。
Henglin lonely brave is a little larger lean angle, nothing else, this chair seat depth is still relatively large (enova comfortable lying home seat depth is also relatively large), 170cm below the choice is not suitable, suitable for large people, but its adaptive lumbar support for large weight people will appear insufficient waist support, it is very embarrassing.
Xiangyaojia F3A is not too big a problem in all aspects, mainly in the waist support strength, the waist support strength of the medium/thin body type is sufficient, and the support is relatively weak if the body size is slightly larger (mainly because its lumbar support is relatively smooth, and the back of the chair and the lumbar support link are relatively flat, so the support strength is moderate).
