So comfortable my wife stole it – Sihoo Doro C300 Pro review
by Martin Jud
Haworth offers ergonomic office chairs from entry-level to premium class. Depending on the model, they support the spine to varying degrees.
You can now order office chairs from the Haworth brand from us. These chairs were previously only available directly from the manufacturer. The three models «Aloha Pro», «Zody II» and «Fern» cover different requirements in terms of ergonomics, features and areas of use.
The «Aloha Pro» is aimed at people working from home and is suitable for workstations with frequently changing users: A mechanism ensures that the backrest adjusts to your body weight without you having to intervene manually. The chair can support up to 120 kilograms.
It also offers basic ergonomic features with integrated lumbar support without complex adjustment functions. The seat height and depth as well as the backrest stop are adjustable. The armrests can be adjusted extensively: up and down, to the sides as well as backwards and forwards. The angle is also adjustable: you can turn the armrest inwards or outwards.
The synchronised mechanism is designed to help you change your posture more often when sitting - your muscles will be happy. The mechanism ensures that the seat moves to match the backrest when you lean back. As a result, the chair maintains contact between your back and the backrest and doesn't pull your shirt out of your trousers, as is the case with fixed seats.
The «Zody II» goes one step further in terms of ergonomics and customisation. It is equipped with the so-called PAL back system - an asymmetrically adjustable lumbar support that specifically supports the right and left side of the lower back. This is particularly helpful in the event of one-sided strain or back problems.
In contrast to the «Aloha Pro», the weight adjustment for the backrest counter-pressure is done manually. You should therefore adjust the chair for yourself and not share it with other people.
The «Fern» was designed for continuous use, for example during 24-hour shifts, and is approved for a load capacity of up to 150 kg. The backrest is based on the «Wave Suspension System»: it provides continuous support for the entire spine. According to the manufacturer, the chair helps to distribute your weight well and thus avoid pressure points.
In addition to an adjustable lumbar support, the «Fern» has versatile adjustable armrests. You can also adjust the seat depth and backrest tension to suit your body. The «Fern» also carries the FEMB Level 3 certification.
Feels just as comfortable in front of a gaming PC as she does in a hammock in the garden. Likes the Roman Empire, container ships and science fiction books. Focuses mostly on unearthing news stories about IT and smart products.

Show allThe chair can be loaded with up to 150 kilograms. Wear parts can be replaced. In addition, the «Zody II» is FEMB Level 3 certified, the highest European sustainability level for office furniture. The certificate states that the chair and its production meet defined standards in terms of environmental friendliness, social responsibility and health protection.
