Sihoo Office Chairs Compared: M59 vs Vito M90 vs Doro C300 Pro

These are the three Sihoo chairs that will fit just about any budget that we see for Melbourne home office furniture buyers: the M59 for the budget range, the Vito M90 for the mid-range, and the Doro C300 Pro for the luxury range. Although they all appear the same in pictures, they really do not feel alike after a day of work. Here is how they compare against one another and who they suit best.

The short answer: which Sihoo chair should you buy

• M59 is the best option for short working hours, airflow due to all-mesh construction and under-desk storage, being the cheapest of the three.

• • The Vito M90 would be perfect if you work throughout the whole day and would like both headrest and auto-lumbar support along with spending less than $400.

• The Doro C300 Pro would suit those who spend at least 8 hours sitting per day and require seat depth adjustability, 6D armrests and the most reclining angle.

Sihoo M59 vs Vito M90 vs Doro C300 Pro at a glance

The prices are subject to changes based on our sales, so please refer to the individual product page for current prices and colour choices.

All the three chairs are made of mesh that is breathable. M59 and M90 have certifications from BIFMA and SGS and swivel 360°. The M59 is designed with a static pressure load resistance of 2,000 lbs, and the gas lift of M90 passes a 2,504 lbs static pressure resistance test, while the aluminium alloy base passes a 1,136 kg static pressure test. Additionally, M90 has casters for carpet or hard floor surfaces. What distinguishes these three chairs is how much of the chair can be adjusted.

Sihoo M59: the compact, budget all-mesh chair

Sihoo M59

The most basic of the chairs in question is the Sihoo M59. The seat and the back are both made of mesh fabric, allowing for air movement and making the chair cool even during a Melbourne summer. The backrest is designed to have an adjustable and automatic lumbar support, while the chair itself rotates fully 360°.

Its unique feature is that the armrests can be lifted up 90°, and the chair will slide under the desk completely. Therefore, it is suitable for use in the extra room, study corner or at the common kitchen counter.

The drawbacks are also noticeable. No headrest is mentioned in the product description; the back tilts 18°, and the seat adjusts 8 cm in height. It is BIFMA and SGS certified, withstood a 2,000 lb pressure test, holds up to 150 kg weight and assembles within 8 steps.

Sihoo Vito M90: adaptive lumbar and a headrest for full days

Sihoo Vito M90

It goes without saying that the next logical step to take is the Sihoo Vito M90. It offers a backrest divided into two parts, with the lumbar part adjusting its support according to your body weight and sitting angle.

Also, you will have the privilege of getting a double jointed elastic headrest and an adjustable backrest by 6 cm to fit your torso, as well as 3D adjustable armrests moving together with the backrest. The backrest allows tilting to three angles within a 90° - 123° range, as well as offering reclining angles up to 130° on this page. The entire surface of the chair is covered with a fully breathable, elastic and water-resistant Textilene mesh. Inside, there is a steel mechanism, an aluminium alloy frame and castors suitable for both hard floor and carpets. The gas lift is BIFMA and SGS certified.

The M90 is made for people who are between 165 - 188 cm (5'5" - 6'2") tall, offering a 10 cm seat height adjustment and being able to support a weight of up to 150 kg (330 lbs). However, this chair does not offer seat depth adjustment; hence, if you are small in the thighs, try sitting on it before purchasing it. The chair is available in either black or grey colour with an option of adding a footrest.

Sihoo Doro C300 Pro: the one built for long hours

Sihoo Doro C300 Pro

The Sihoo Doro C300 Pro (also called the Sihoo A3 DORO-C300 Pro) is the most versatile chair. It features the Domino three-dimensional lumbar support that is created especially for people with backaches after prolonged sitting.

The 6D armrests can be adjusted up-down, forward-backwards, inward-outward, turned upside down, rotated 75° and connected to the backrest. The 3D wide-angle mechanical headrest makes sure of the comfort of your neck and head, while the seat can be slid up and down for adjusting the depth to the point where your thighs begin. Reclining is possible up to 138°, and there is a mechanism that regulates the reclining force depending on your weight. All these functions are operated with one-touch control.

The chair can be bought in black or grey, with or without a footrest (black with a footrest).

Sihoo M59 or M90: which is better?

The choice for a huge majority of office workers is the M90 model. This chair comes with a headrest, a self-adjusting split backrest and an adjustable-height backrest. It also features a wider seating range and deeper recline, with only a $140 premium. M59 is recommended if you sit for short periods, have a low budget or require flip-up armrests.

Is the Doro C300 Pro worth the extra money?

This is what happens when you spend most of your time seated. It costs you an additional $290 compared to the M90 and provides you with three elements not found in the M90: the seat slider, 6D armrests, and the recline to 138 degrees. This is because the M90 works fine if you work for four hours or less per day.

Which Sihoo suits long hours or tall people?

If you're over 185 cm

Only the Vito M90 offers height information out of the three products that we have here, and it can grow to about 188 cm tall. As for the M59, it does not offer a headrest while having a shorter range of seat heights, so taller customers might want to pass by. The presence of an adjustable headrest and seat slider makes the C300 Pro worth trying, even through the lack of its height range information. It is just as important as back height, so do not forget to consider it. Our standard office desk height sizing guide shows how to match them.

If you sit 8+ hours a day

Pick the C300 Pro. The seat slider allows you to keep your cushion against your entire thigh without pressing against your knees, and the self-adjusting recline allows you to change your posture throughout the day while maintaining your support.

It will help you if you alternate sitting and standing. If you are considering this idea, combine it with a sit-stand desk and check our list of the best standing desks for home offices.
