How to choose

  • Decide which part you want in mesh. In the brands' own specifications: a mesh back on the Duramont Ergonomic, Office Star ProGrid, HÅG SoFi 7500, Humanscale Liberty and World One; a mesh seat or mesh-seat option on the SIHOO B100 and M57, FlexiSpot C7 and OC3, Autonomous ErgoChair Pro and Humanscale World One; both on the Ergohuman GEN2 High All Mesh.
  • On chairs sold with both seat types, check which version the price and weight rating refer to: the FlexiSpot C7 mesh version is rated to 350 lb and the foam version to 300 lb.
  • Mesh can feel firmer than foam at first; if you have not sat on mesh before, try one or check the return terms before you commit.
  • Check the lumbar: the Humanscale Liberty and World One shape the mesh itself with no lumbar knob, while the Duramont Ergonomic and SIHOO M57 list an adjustable lumbar.
  • Check how long the upholstery is covered as well as the frame: Humanscale lists 12 years on components and parts but 5 years on fabric and cushions for the World One.

SIHOO M57
SIHOO

SIHOO M57

Price: $319.99

The M57 is SIHOO's all-mesh M-series chair: a mesh seat and a mesh back, a lumbar pad that moves up/down and in/out, a headrest that rises and tilts, and 3D armrests. It is sold in Black, Gray and White. Compared with the M18, which has a foam seat cushion, the M57 uses mesh for the seat as well (SIHOO's own comparison). Official figures: SIHOO's DE store lists a seat height of 46–55 cm, a seat width of 51 cm, a seat depth of 46 cm and a recommended user height up to 185 cm; the US store lists a seat depth of 18.11", overall dimensions of 28" wide x 28" deep x 42"-49" high, a 330 lb maximum load, a chair weight of 44.8 lb and a recline up to 126°. The headrest adjusts up to 3.9 in vertically and rotates 45°; the armrests move up and down, side to side and forward and back. SIHOO does not publish a seat-depth adjustment for the M57. Warranty: 3 years (SIHOO US store). Price: the SIHOO US store lists $319.99 for all three colours. On 2026-10-09 the store showed a sale price of $239.99; we record the list price only, so check the live page before ordering. What to check before ordering: the seat depth is fixed (46 cm), so it suits average thigh lengths best, and the recline stops at 126°.

What users love

  • Built to last. Users describe two to six years of daily use with the mesh still holding its shape.
  • Breathable mesh. Users in hot, humid rooms like that the mesh seat and back stay cool.

Good to check first: The recline stops at 126°, so look at a deeper-reclining model if you like to nap in your chair.

Best for: People who want a budget all-mesh chair with an adjustable lumbar pad, an adjustable headrest and 3D arms

Pros

  • Mesh seat and back
  • Seat height 46–55 cm and seat width 51 cm published by SIHOO (DE store)
  • Lumbar adjusts vertically and horizontally; headrest rises 3.9 in, rotates 45°

Good to know

  • Shorter owners say the seat can run long
  • Recline stops at 126°
  • US and DE stores list seat width differently (20.08 in hip width vs 51 cm)
10
SIHOO B100
SIHOO

SIHOO B100

Price: $199.99 – $259.99

The B100 is one of SIHOO's lower-priced mesh chairs, built around flip-up arms. On its US store SIHOO describes a floating sacral cushion (a support pad placed lower than a usual lumbar pad, at the base of the spine), a wide 2D adjustable headrest, flip-up 2D armrests so the chair can slide under a desk, and a backrest that locks in three recline positions up to 135°. It is sold with a mesh seat or a cushioned foam seat, and the mesh-seat version also comes as a Footrest Version with a pull-out leg rest. Official figures: the SIHOO US store lists general dimensions of 27.6" wide, 28.3" deep and 44.1"-51.6" high, a product weight of 36.4 lbs, a maximum load of 330 lbs and a 3-year warranty. SIHOO's EU store gives a seat height range of 18.3" to 21.9" in its product description and names the three recline angles as 110°, 125° and 135°. SIHOO does not publish a seat depth or seat width for the B100 on its US, UK or EU stores, so we leave those fields empty rather than estimate them. Price: the SIHOO US store lists $199.99 for the Cushioned Seat Standard Version, $219.99 for the Mesh Seat Standard Version and $259.99 for the Mesh Seat Footrest Version, in Black or White. SIHOO also sells a B100 Pro; that is a separate model and is not covered on this page. B100 against the M18: on regular price the B100 ($199.99-$259.99) lists below the M18 ($289.99-$299.99). Both list a 330 lb maximum load and a 3-year warranty and weigh about the same (36.4 lbs against 37.1 lbs). The M18 has a lumbar pad you move up/down and in/out and a headrest that travels 3.9" and pivots 45°; the B100 has flip-up arms, a sacral cushion instead of an adjustable lumbar pad, and a 135° maximum recline against the M18's 126°. What to check before ordering: SIHOO gives no seat depth figure, and the US store offers 30-day returns if the seat does not suit your thigh length; the arms are described as 2D, fewer adjustments than the 4D or 6D arms on SIHOO's Doro models; and choose between the mesh seat and the cushioned seat, which also changes the price.

Good to check first: The recline has three positions, up to 135°, rather than a free-floating tilt.

Best for: Small rooms and shared desks where flip-up arms let the chair slide under the desk, at a list price below the M18

Pros

  • Lowest SIHOO list price on Chairpedia (SIHOO US store)
  • Flip-up 2D armrests to tuck the chair under a desk
  • 330 lb maximum load and 3-year warranty (US store)

Good to know

  • SIHOO publishes no seat depth or seat width
  • 2D armrests: fewer adjustments than SIHOO's Doro models
  • No adjustable lumbar pad; a fixed sacral cushion instead

The seat height (47.5–55.5 cm, about 18.7"–21.9") and the overall size (70 cm wide at the base, 74 cm deep, 113–133.5 cm high) come from the dimension drawing in SIHOO's specification panel, not from the written spec list, and that drawing labels the seat depth about 0.5 cm shorter than the written figure.
