SIHOO S100 vs B300 Pro: S100 goes to shorter seat settings, B300 flips its arms out of the way

Quick verdict

When a shorter seat is the deciding requirement, S100 is the choice, since S100 has the shorter minimum seat depth at 15.15 inches, against B300 Pro’s 16.5. B300 Pro is the choice for flip-up arms, a longer 18.5-inch maximum seat setting or separate lumbar height and depth adjustment. S100 tops out at 17.12 inches. The linked B300 is the standard version without a footrest, and folding its arms does not shrink the base.

Before you buy

Why, and what it costs you

A shorter seat and a tidier parked chair can work against each other

B300’s flip-up arms appeal in a small bedroom office because the chair may push closer to the desk after work. A user who needs a seat shorter than 16.5 inches should start with S100’s range, though. The furniture benefit cannot correct a front edge that sits too far forward while seated. Measure the sitting position first and the parking position second. When both fit, the arm-clearance feature becomes a meaningful convenience.

Where this comes from

Different depth minima set against desk parking. 16.5 minus 15.15 equals 1.35 inches. Whether either whole chair clears a particular desk is not guaranteed.

The catch

SIHOO Doro S100

Its maximum seat depth is shorter, which may not suit a longer seated leg length.

The catch

SIHOO B300 Pro

Its minimum depth is longer, and no footrest comes in the linked standard package.

What this page compares

A compact shared office is the setting for Doro S100 and B300 Pro. Compare the usable seat range, arm clearance and lumbar controls before you choose a mesh chair.

Adjustable depth is shared by these SIHOO mesh chairs, but the newer arm and lumbar controls on the B300 do not replace the shorter published seat settings of the S100.

In practice

Differences you will notice

A shorter seat and a tidier parked chair can work against each other

B300’s flip-up arms appeal in a small bedroom office because the chair may push closer to the desk after work. A user who needs a seat shorter than 16.5 inches should start with S100’s range, though. The furniture benefit cannot correct a front edge that sits too far forward while seated. Measure the sitting position first and the parking position second. When both fit, the arm-clearance feature becomes a meaningful convenience.

How we worked this out

Different depth minima set against desk parking. 16.5 minus 15.15 equals 1.35 inches. Whether either whole chair clears a particular desk is not guaranteed.

A projection setting is not replaced by dynamic lumbar movement

The split lumbar panels on S100 move with the user. B300 also lets the user change the lumbar position in height and depth. When two people want contact in a similar place but disagree on how far the pad projects, B300’s depth control is the feature to try. That does not prove the pad will feel gentler. S100 may still feel better in person, but its dynamic-panel description alone does not establish the same user-selected adjustment.

How we worked this out

Different contact preferences are set against positively documented depth control. This does not claim that undocumented S100 mechanisms are absent beyond the verified controls.

When the chair changes hands, the longer slider counts

The published maxima show a 1.38-inch difference, with B300 extending to 18.5 inches and S100 ending at 17.12. That can matter when one partner needs more thigh support and the other needs a shorter setting. The published interval they share is 16.5 to 17.12 inches. Check both users against the whole range instead of choosing only for the taller person or the newer model name.

How we worked this out

Maxima gap: 18.5 minus 17.12 equals 1.38 inches. The shared interval is 16.5 to 17.12. Standing height is not converted to fit.

Trade-offs

What each pick costs you

With SIHOO Doro S100

  • Dimensions from a UK enlarged-cushion S100 listing should not be used.

With SIHOO B300 Pro

  • Before assuming the chair will park under a desk, measure the base and back along with the folded arms.

Change of plan

When the answer changes

The minimum seat setting has to be shorter

Go with SIHOO Doro S100. The shorter published range belongs to S100.

Flip-up clearance or lumbar depth is what is missing, since the seat already fits

Go with SIHOO B300 Pro. Those additional controls are documented for B300.

Decision guide

Before you buy

A chair that tucks out of the way is the aim, but fitting it to the furniture should not outrank fitting the seat to your legs.

Check these before you buy

  • Have each regular user try both the shortest and longest seat positions.
  • Look at the desk apron, the base clearance and the footrest option you selected.

What this page can’t tell you

  • No medical, cooling or subjective comfort claim is made. A published fit range does not guarantee anything for a particular body.
