The Sihoo Doro C300 Pro Ergonomic Chair Is a Blessing for Those Suffering From Chronic Pain (Review)

Working at home or in an office, there are few things more important than having a chair that suits you properly. Over the past two years, I’ve primarily used a Razer Iskur V2; it’s a solid chair that has never let me down once. While I can’t deny that the Sihoo Doro C300 isn’t an all-around more comfortable chair to use, there’s someone in my life who is going to be using it as their daily driver. And I couldn’t be more thrilled to finally have found a chair that works for her needs.

My wife, Katie, suffers from a disease called Ankylosing spondylitis. It’s an inflammatory disease and something that affects her on a near-daily basis. The spine is the major target for this particular disease, and the pain that comes alongside it can be debilitating if not properly cared for. It also makes things that I normally take for granted, such as staying seated for more than a couple hours at a time, much more painful than it has any right being.

A Necessary Sacrifice for the Good of My Marriage

That’s why, after just a few short days of testing the Sihoo Doro C300 Pro for myself, I asked her if she wanted me to bring it into her office. She works as a receptionist, and she had recently been explaining that her office chair has started feeling more like she was sitting on hot, broken glass. After a week straight of use, I made sure to ask her opinion on the chair, how it helped with her pain levels, and how she felt about it compared to her previous chair; these were the results.

The first thing we noticed about the Sihoo Doro C300 Pro is that it is a heavy piece of equipment. Coming in at roughly 75lbs in the package, it will require either a dolly to move it comfortably, or two able-bodied folks to carry it to its proper destination. Bigger doesn’t always mean better, but in this situation, it was for the best.

While I also have a degree in IKEAnomics, I was genuinely shocked to see that almost every single piece of this chair needed to be assembled. It felt like an expensive LEGO set. However, after about 30 minutes, the C300 Pro was ready.

The Feeling of Being Cradled Is Very Apparent With the Sihoo Doro C300

Even with all of the packaging materials put off to the side, the Sihoo Doro C300 Pro is still a hefty chair. Weighing roughly 55 lbs and supporting up to 300 lbs when fully assembled, it does take a few days of use to fully break in the wheels to allow for maximum mobility. However, once my wife was in the chair, she hardly wanted to move.

With the changes in the weather here in Wisconsin, her nerve pain has been all over the pain map. The first thing she mentioned when she took her initial seat in the C300 Pro was that it felt as if she was being “cradled.” Rather than just sitting in a regular chair. And that sentiment didn’t change throughout the week. Rather than that severe burning glass feel, she mentioned that her nerve pain was much less severe. She was putting her pain at a 3 to 5, rather than a typical 7 to 9. A pretty massive improvement in my books.

The amount of adjustability was also noted by her during her testing. I was also quick to notice this during my testing of this particular chair. Depending on how she needed to be seated, the sliding seat could easily adjust to her required position. The same goes for the height-adjustable backrest, alongside the reclining backrest. She was able to, essentially, customize the chair each day to meet her needs; something she was unable to do with any chair she had before.

The armrests, on the other hand, are a little too easy to knock around. We both wish that there was an option to lock them completely into place, but a little adjustment every once in a while never hurt anybody.

The C300 Pro Catches the Eye of Everyone Around It

We decided to move this chair into her office space after hours. The next morning, everybody asked where she got the new chair. It’s a great-looking chair, both in person and in pictures. And it should look just as good as it feels to use. Everything about the Doro C300 Pro feels premium, from its weight and appearance to the materials used.

Even compared to my more expensive Razer Iskur V2, the Sihoo C300 Pro is incredibly classy. It doesn’t scream “gaming chair” in your face like some other brands do, and it’s better for that. While some people may not mind the look of gaming chairs, others don’t like them. Plus, it makes it easier to blend in at the office without standing out too much. Not everything needs RGB to look great.

At the End of the Day, the Sihoo Doro C300 Is a Winner

Something can be beautiful to look at, but it means nothing if it’s not beneficial. I think that’s what impressed both myself and my wife. The Sihoo C300 Pro handles the task of being an impeccable chair that fits in the office just right. It also provides an ample amount of comfort for those who need it the most.

Finding a chair for my wife has always felt like an impossible task. Sitting nearly anywhere for more than a couple of hours can cause a flare-up. The number of these flare-ups has dropped now that she’s using the C300 Pro. I’m happy to say, the C300 Pro may have finally solved this issue. With just over a week in it, she’s been feeling much more comfortable without any additional assistance.

When it comes time to replace my beloved Razer Iskur, I know exactly what I’ll be looking for. I was thoroughly impressed with my general comfort. But more so by the fact that it gave someone suffering the ability to be in a considerably smaller amount of pain.

Verdict: Highly Recommended
