Hammock 1 vs Hammock 2: Which Ergonomic Chair Fits You?
Hammock 1 and Hammock 2 share the same accessible ergonomic purpose, but they support the lower back differently. Hammock 1 creates focused contact; Hammock 2 creates a more wrapping feel.
Hammock 1 or Hammock 2?
Choose Hammock 1 if you prefer one clear, focused point of lower-back contact and a simpler support sensation.
Choose Hammock 2 if you prefer two flexible lumbar sections that contact a wider area and create a more wrapping lower-back feel.
Start with the Support Feeling You Prefer
Choose Focused Support If You Want:
- Focused lower-back contact
- A direct, clearly defined support point
- Controlled lumbar flexibility
- A straightforward everyday sitting experience
- Less surrounding or wrapping lumbar contact
Choose Wrapping Support If You Want:
- Wider lower-back contact
- Two flexible lumbar sections
- Adjustable lumbar contact angle
- A gentler or more noticeable support setting
- A more embracing lower-back sensation
A Higher Model Number Does Not Decide the Better Fit
Hammock 2 is not automatically better simply because it has a higher model number. Its Twin Dynamic Lumbar Support provides a different contact pattern—not a universally superior one.
Some users prefer Hammock 2’s wider, wrapping contact. Others find Hammock 1’s focused and straightforward support more natural.
The useful question is not “Which sounds more advanced?” It is “Which lumbar system meets my lower back comfortably after adjustment?”

One Accessible Ergonomic Category
Both models provide a substantial upgrade over basic office chairs with limited fit adjustment. Their major shared features mean the lumbar experience deserves the closest attention.
Breathable Mesh Comfort
Mesh construction promotes airflow and helps reduce heat buildup in Malaysia’s warm working conditions.
Sliding Seat Depth
Move the seat forward or backward to suit different thigh lengths and maintain clearance behind the knees.
5D Dual-Axis Armrests
Reposition the armrests for typing, browsing, gaming, mobile-device use and relaxed sitting.
4D Neck-Focused Headrest
Both upgraded headrests can be adjusted to reach closer to the neck curve instead of only the back of the head.
Three-Lock Synchronized Recline
Both chairs support position changes through synchronized recline with three locking positions.
Retractable Footrest
Use the footrest for short recovery periods, relaxed browsing and temporarily stretching the legs.
One Support Zone or Two?
Focused Contact
One central support zone creates more direct and concentrated contact against the lower back.
Wrapping Contact
Two flexible sections contact a wider area and create a more embracing sensation around the lower back.
Focused Lower-Back Support
Hammock 1 is designed for users who want a straightforward and stable ergonomic sitting experience.
Its Flex-Control Lumbar Support concentrates contact around the central lower-back region. Instead of surrounding the body with separate sections, it provides one clear supporting area with controlled flexibility.
How Hammock 1 Supports the Lower Back
Focused Contact
Support is concentrated around the central lower-back region.
Controlled Flexibility
The support responds subtly without feeling excessively active.
Direct Feedback
It is easy to recognise where the support meets the lower back.
Everyday Stability
The focused support helps reduce the unsupported gap behind the lower back.
Hammock 1 May Suit You If…
- You want one clear point of lower-back support.
- You prefer direct support over a surrounding sensation.
- You do not need adjustable lumbar contact angle.
- You want an ergonomic upgrade for normal work or study.
- You prefer a chair that feels straightforward to adjust.
- You use the chair for both working and relaxed sitting.
- You are comfortable within the chair’s approximate fit range.
Hammock 1 May Not Be Your Best Match If You Need…
- Support that contacts both sides of the lower back
- Adjustable lumbar contact angle
- A more embracing or wrapping sensation
- More noticeable interaction between the lumbar structure and your body
- Advanced support during frequent posture changes
- Closer back contact while reclining
- More movement control for demanding professional work
Wrapping Lower-Back Support
Hammock 2 is designed for users who prefer lower-back support that contacts a wider area.
Its Twin Dynamic Lumbar Support uses two flexible sections instead of one central zone. They create a more embracing feeling and can respond independently as the user shifts position.
The lumbar contact angle can be adjusted, allowing the support to sit closer to or farther from the body.
How Hammock 2 Creates a Wrapping Feel
Twin Sections
Two flexible sections contact a wider portion of the lower back.
Wrapping Contact
The divided structure feels more embracing than one central support zone.
Flexible Response
Each section can respond as the body shifts in the chair.
Adjustable Feel
Change the contact angle for gentler or more noticeable support.
Stronger Pressure Is Not Always Better Support
Reduce the Contact Angle
Move the support away if it feels too prominent or pushes strongly against the body.
Bring It Closer
Increase contact if a large unsupported gap remains between your lower back and the chair.
Give It Several Minutes
Sit normally instead of judging the change from the first few seconds.
The correct setting should meet the natural lower-back curve without forcing the pelvis or torso forward. Maximum is not automatically correct.
Hammock 2 May Suit You If…
- You like support that surrounds more of your lower back.
- You prefer two flexible sections instead of one central zone.
- You want to adjust how closely the lumbar system meets your body.
- You want a gentler or more noticeable lumbar setting.
- You prefer more embracing contact during everyday sitting.
- You do not require the Smart-Glide movement system.
- You are comfortable within the approximate recommended fit range.
Hammock 2 May Not Be Your Best Match If You…
- Prefer one simple and focused lumbar point
- Dislike a surrounding lower-back sensation
- Are sensitive to noticeable lumbar pressure
- Prefer fewer support settings to manage
- Require advanced posture-following movement
- Need closer backrest contact through recline
- Want premium materials or a wider adjustment range
If the twin sections feel distracting even at a gentler setting, Hammock 1 may feel more natural. If both Hammock models feel too static during movement, compare the SINC Series.
What Does the Difference Feel Like?
| Sitting sensation | Hammock 1 | Hammock 2 |
|---|---|---|
| Contact area | More concentrated | Wider and more surrounding |
| Support structure | One focused zone | Two flexible sections |
| Initial sensation | Clear, direct contact | More embracing contact |
| Support adjustment | Controlled flexibility | Adjustable contact angle |
| Preference match | Simple and stable | Wrapping and adjustable |
| Possible mismatch | May feel too concentrated for some users | May feel too noticeable for some users |
Both Are Recommended Around 160–180 cm—but Height Is Only the Start
Two people of the same height can have different thigh lengths, lower-leg lengths, torso lengths, shoulder positions, lumbar locations and neck lengths.
Seat Depth
Support the thighs without pressing firmly behind the knees.
Lumbar Position
The support should meet the lower-back curve—not the pelvis or mid-back.
Headrest Reach
It should reach the neck without pushing the head forward.
Armrest Position
Support the forearms while the shoulders remain relaxed.
Similar Foundations, Personal Preferences
Airflow for Warm Working Conditions
Mesh promotes airflow and is useful in warm home offices, study rooms and workplaces. Mesh tension still needs to feel comfortable: some users prefer a firmer suspended feeling, while others prefer cushioning.
Match the Seat to Thigh Length
Move the seat forward for more thigh support or backward to preserve clearance behind the knees. Maximum seat depth is not automatically the correct setting.
Both Chairs Share Upgraded 4D Headrests and 5D Armrests
Support the Forearms Without Lifting the Shoulders
Adjust height, forward/backward position, width, pad angle and dual-axis pivot movement to suit working and relaxed positions.
Reach the Neck Curve More Precisely
Both chairs use the upgraded 4D neck-focused headrest. Adjust it to meet the neck when needed without continuously pushing the head forward during desk work.
Both Share Three-Lock Synchronized Recline and a Retractable Footrest
Both Hammock models let you move away from a continuously upright position through synchronized recline with three locking positions.
- Short recovery periods
- Relaxed browsing or reading
- Casual content viewing
- Temporarily stretching the legs
- A substitute for standing or walking
- The normal position for desk-based typing
- A fix for incorrect seat height
- A replacement for supported feet during work
Sitting Duration Alone Does Not Choose the Chair
Both Hammock models provide breathable support and practical adjustment for everyday sitting. Suitability for longer sessions depends on body proportions, lumbar preference, desk height, work type, recline habits, adjustment quality and movement habits.
For demanding professional sitting, frequent posture changes or more advanced support during recline, also compare the SINC Series.

Hammock 1 vs Hammock 2 FAQs
What is the main difference between Hammock 1 and Hammock 2?
Hammock 1 uses Flex-Control Lumbar Support for focused, direct lower-back contact. Hammock 2 uses two flexible lumbar sections for wider, more wrapping contact and allows the contact angle to be adjusted.
Which important specifications do both chairs share?
Both share Breathable Mesh Comfort, sliding seat depth, a 4D neck-focused headrest, 5D Dual-Axis armrests, synchronized recline with three locking positions, a retractable footrest, TÜV-certified Class 4 gas lift, chrome-finished metal base, up to 110 kg recommended load and a three-year warranty.
Is Hammock 2 better than Hammock 1?
Not for every user. Hammock 2 provides a more wrapping and adjustable lumbar experience, while some users prefer Hammock 1’s simpler focused support. The better chair is the one that fits your body and support preference.
Which chair provides firmer lumbar support?
Neither should be selected by assuming one is universally firmer. Hammock 1 concentrates contact in one area, while Hammock 2 can create more noticeable contact across a wider area. Perceived firmness depends on body shape and adjustment.
Which chair provides more wrapping lower-back support?
Hammock 2. Its Twin Dynamic Lumbar Support uses two flexible sections to create a more embracing sensation around the lower back.
Can Hammock 2’s lumbar support be adjusted?
Yes. Its lumbar contact angle can be changed to create gentler or more noticeable contact.
Do both chairs have adjustable seat depth?
Yes. Both use a sliding seat that moves forward or backward to suit different thigh lengths.
Are both chairs suitable for long sitting hours?
Both provide breathable support and practical adjustments for everyday sitting. Suitability for extended use depends on body fit, support preference, workspace setup and movement habits. Users with demanding professional requirements should also compare the SINC Series.
What height range suits the Hammock Series?
The approximate recommendation for both chairs is 160–180 cm. Height alone does not guarantee fit, so also check seat depth, lumbar position, headrest reach and armrest range.
When should I choose a SINC chair instead?
Compare the SINC Series when you need more advanced movement-based support, closer back contact through posture changes or greater support coordination during recline.
Can I test both chairs at the Niture showroom?
Yes. Current Niture chair models are available for comparison at the Puchong showroom. General chair fitting is free, and no appointment is required during normal operating hours.
Focused or Wrapping: Let Your Body Decide
Choose Hammock 1 if one focused and stable point of lower-back contact feels more natural.
Choose Hammock 2 if you prefer two flexible sections that create wider, more embracing contact—and you want to adjust how closely they meet your back.
Choose neither based only on model number, appearance or feature-list length. The correct chair supports your lower back, thighs, neck and arms without creating new pressure points after proper adjustment.
