At the beginning of 2020, I replaced the Okamura contessa2 ergonomic chair for my study, which is a model that costs more than 1w, and it really hurts when I change it, after all, the domestic flagship ergonomic chair may only need 1/4 of the price.
However, the sitting sensation after the replacement is indeed different, this difference is very obvious when you sit on the comparison with other chairs, so that the domestic engineering seat of about 1500 that I eliminated is not very comfortable in the office.
In June this year, I worked with a friend to build a studio, and the engineering chair that was originally lost in the office was left behind by the former colleague's soft and hard bubbles at a very low price.
The new studio was put into use in mid-September, and naturally there was a vacant engineering chair, this time it was one of Okamura's entry models, Sylphy Light, so how did this brand that I never forgot, this 4K multi-entry model, how specific did it perform?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="6" > Okamura Sylphy Light assembly process, appearance details</h1>
As Okamura, who changed its name to Okamura, represents the model of the Japanese ergonomic chair, and the details of Okamura are very good in terms of workmanship, which is what I have drawn from contessa2 and Sylphy Light.
If you are a detail control, Okamura will not disappoint you, even if it is an entry-level engineering chair, the details are in place.
Sylphy Light's five-jaw base is made of aluminum alloy, polished to illuminate the human figure, the roller is installed on the five-claw base by default, do not need to install it yourself, and there are many stiffeners inside, and the strength is no problem.
Although it is an entry-level model, it is also equipped with aluminum alloy materials as standard, and Okamura is actually equipped with an aluminum alloy five-jaw base as standard, which is relatively common steel structure or engineering plastic, and the appearance texture grade is better.
The air pressure rod adopts samhong sanhong air pressure rod from South Korea, which is filled with safe and stable inert gas, and has passed the German TUV certification, which is a three-stage air pressure rod, and the safety is guaranteed.
The Sylphy Light installation process is a few steps more than Contessa2.
Compared with the integrated design of the Contessa2 seat armrest backrest, Sylphy Light's seat, backrest and armrest need to be installed by themselves, and this self-contained headrest is a large headrest, which is more suitable for me who is used to headrests.
I have also experienced some domestic brand flagship seats before, in the places that can not be seen, such as the seat chassis, it will be rougher, but the Sylphy Light details are still relatively fine.
The Sylphy Light is a porous shaped sponge cushion that provides good support, while the densely packed holes have good breathability.
It is recommended to install the armrests and the back before considering installing the air pressure bracket.
Finally, the headrest is installed in place, and the whole process can be completed in up to 15 minutes.
Gray and white color matching, Japanese small fresh breeze full, in addition to Sylphy Light has a personalized color matching variety.
From the back point of view, Sylphy Light is simple and clear, there is no complex support structure of many chair backs, but it also has good support, simple and good-looking support and comfortable, which is a balanced point of trade-off.
The Sylphy Light waist pad is also optional, which is friendly.
The entire mesh cloth on the back belongs to the very light and thin mesh cloth, which is full of breathability.
The strength of the mesh material is actually quite ok, and you will feel the full rebound force of the feedback when pressed hard.
The backrest is flanked by levers that adjust the support position of the back, which is also a very distinctive feature of Sylphy Light, which is designed for consumers who are on the broad and thin sides.
The headrest and the cushion are of the same material, exactly the same fabric, the headrest is a curved and non-adjustable design, but the details are exquisite enough, and the stitching is very neat.
More details close-up, there is a very interesting detail, that is, this Occamra nameplate, behind which is the screw position of the headrest, effectively covering the ugliness.
The armrests are slightly stiff, but the design of non-slip fine particles is also easy to take care of.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="30" > Sylphy Light sitting and adjustment display</h1>
Relative to its own high-end product line, Sylphy Light made a difference in design adjustments, may not be as wide as the high-end product line, the material is not completely imported, but in the sitting sense, the difference in the difference in support is completely right in the starting price, in other words, if you have not experienced his high-end product line, then you sit on Sylphy Light will only feel very good, better than many domestic chairs, but if you have experienced the high-end product line, I suggest that you choose a better one within your reach.
Taking the cushion as an example, the high-end product line cushion is a different hardness cushion, that is, a cushion may be a one-time molding, but it has three different hardnesses, the most common is the front is softer, the middle and rear are hard, to reduce the pressure on the thighs.
Sylphy Light's cushion part is domestic, not a hardness cushion, with my weight of nearly 70 kilograms to sit on, feel the support is completely in place, basically not much sunken into it, and then weigh 30 kilograms Estimated pressure is not large, but I personally still hope that the front section can be slightly softer.
This domestic cushion uses an ergonomic design, the thickness is quite weighty, the comfort is not bad, I have experienced and used so many chairs, this can be ranked in the forefront, but obviously there is no contessa2 to bring the indescribable comfort, after all, the ass is spoiled.
All the chairs I had before were basically mesh models, which was also the first time to try sponge pads, and this cushion felt okay in the autumn high and refreshing autumn, and it may be a little hot in summer, but the entry-level seats were designed as sponge pads, which is estimated to be in the comprehensive consideration of bearing capacity and cost.
Hammering the seat hard, you can see the elasticity, and I am quite satisfied with this support.
If it is bare skin and sponge pad contact, the touch is obviously stronger than most of the mesh material, and there will be no scene where some mesh directly contact the traces.
This angle can also see a scene of the waist and upper body, the mesh cloth is directly all covered, and the back support position can be adjusted, whether fat or thin can find a suitable position for themselves.
Feel the carrying capacity of the mesh cloth.
The biggest advantage of the headrest is the wide and curved design, but unfortunately it is not adjustable, and there is not much problem with people who cope with standard weight and body shape in daily life, at least my daughter-in-law and I can safely support it.
Let's talk about the range and characteristics of Sylphy Light.
There are a total of 5 adjustment levers and knobs, which are responsible for different functions.
With a seat pneumatic height adjustment range of 90mm and a height between 430mm and 520mm, it's good news for petite female users.
With a 60mm range of front and rear adjustment of the seat cushion, users with long legs and short legs can find the right position for them.
Clockwise rotation, the back of the seat back elastic force becomes larger, counterclockwise rotation is the back of the seat elastic force becomes smaller.
The backsliding supports 4-stage locking, and the maximum elevation angle is 135 degrees.
The height of the armrest can be adjusted from 60mm up and down, 40mm to the front and rear, and 15 degrees rotation to the left and right.
The back of the chair curve adjustment is a more distinctive place, it can freely retract the curve, adjust the shrinkage curve upwards, suitable for consumers with small body shape, and expand the curve downward, suitable for consumers with large body size.
A thin user like me, adjusting to the upwards, can clearly feel the wrapping around the waist line and the strength of the inward support.
Some people may feel that there is no waist pillow simply relying on the bearing capacity of the mesh cloth is not enough, but in fact, most people are completely without problems, unless you are talented, far different from ordinary people, or you really have the needs of the waist pillow, then you can also choose your own.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="53" > Okamura Sylphy Light worth getting started? </h1>
There must be a reason for remembering.
For so many years has been using ergonomic chairs, including in the company also arranged a domestic entry, every time you work for a long time, you will feel the strong advantages of the ergonomic chair, relative to the ordinary chair fatigue comes very late, can support a long period of work.
An excellent ergonomic chair is subjectively comfortable to sit on, and objectively enough to support and reasonable, and has good adjustment ability.
Although the Sylphy Light is the entry model of Okamura, it has the functions and adjustments, the workmanship is also very good, the details can stand up to scrutiny, and the sitting performance is in line with the expectations.
Compared with other models of their own, the difference is mainly in the domestic production of some accessories, there is a certain gap in the parameters of the adjustment ability, and some functions are not available, but it does not affect that this is a very good ergonomic seat.
Of course, if you have the conditions for test seats, I recommend that you still experience it in an offline physical store, after all, each person's individual experience will be different.
When mentioning these big brand products, the cost performance will always be pulled out to talk about, in fact, Sylphy Light is very cost-effective, of course, this is very high is based on their own brand, after all, Sylphy Light is the youth version of Sylphy, and this youth version is not much shrinkage, but in the appearance, design and function are close, if you like this brand, the budget is limited, then Sylphy Light is your best choice.
