Which Office Chair is Recommended for Short People?

Admin October 08, 2026

The following three office chairs are recommended for short people (150-165cm), all of which have been ergonomically optimized and have clear adaptability:

1. Sihoo S100 (Designed for 155-165cm)

  • Core Adaptability: The lumbar support can be lowered to a minimum of 18cm from the seat cushion, supporting 8cm of vertical adjustment, precisely covering the L3-L5 lumbar segments to avoid lumbar suspension; the minimum seat height is โ‰ค45cm and the seat depth is โ‰ค42cm, ensuring that short users can keep their feet flat on the ground without knee compression.
  • Additional Features: Optional footrest, suitable for long sitting scenarios (such as continuous office work for more than 4 hours), relieving leg pressure.
  • Suitable Scenarios: Sitting upright for office work, mild reclining for rest, especially suitable for users close to 155cm in height.

2. Ergomax Orion2 (Suitable for Sitting Upright for Office Work and Designers)

  • Core Adaptability: The headrest features a 2D dual-axis locking design, providing stable neck support when reclining to avoid a 'hanging' feeling; long armrests (length โ‰ฅ50cm) are suitable for armrest work at the edge of the desk (such as drawing, designing); the backrest can be independently raised and lowered to adapt to different sitting posture needs.
  • User Feedback: Short female users have tested and found that the experience of sitting upright and reclining is balanced, with the backrest curve fitting the back curve, reducing fatigue from prolonged sitting.
  • Suitable Scenarios: Office scenarios that require frequent switching between sitting upright and reclining postures, such as design and programming.

3. Sihoo M15/Habitat P2pro/NetEase Selection Xiaomanyao S9 Pro+ (Standard Short Person Model)

  • Common Advantages: Seat height of 45-50cm and seat depth of 42-45cm, suitable for a height range of 155-165cm; the lumbar support has a large adjustment range (both up and down/front and back can be adjusted), balancing comfort and support; the mesh material has good breathability, suitable for summer or prolonged use.
  • Differentiated Choices:
    • Sihoo M15: High cost-effectiveness, with complete basic functions;
    • Habitat P2pro: The armrests support 3D adjustment (up and down/front and back/rotation), adapting to more operating postures;
    • NetEase Selection Xiaomanyao S9 Pro+: The lumbar support features an elastic zoning design, providing a stronger sense of fit.

Tips to Avoid Pitfalls:

  • Size Traps: Avoid models with a fixed seat depth greater than 45cm, a lumbar support position too high (greater than 25cm above the seat cushion), or an integrated backrest, which may cause misalignment of lumbar support or leg compression.
  • Trial Sitting Suggestions: Prioritize trying out the chair in physical stores or choosing online channels that support a 7-day no-reason return and exchange policy to confirm the match between seat height, seat depth, and leg comfort (a knee bending angle of โ‰ฅ90ยฐ is recommended).
