Quick Answer

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.

Both chairs share Breathable Mesh Comfort, sliding seat depth, 4D neck-focused headrest, 5D Dual-Axis armrests, three-lock synchronized recline and a retractable footrest. Their lumbar-support character is the main buying difference.

Start with the Support Feeling You Prefer

Hammock 1

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
Hammock 2

Choose Wrapping Support If You Want:

  • Wider lower-back contact
  • Two flexible lumbar sections

  • A gentler or more noticeable support setting
  • A more embracing lower-back sensation
Fit Before Model Number

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?”

Shared Foundation

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.

01

Breathable Mesh Comfort

Mesh construction promotes airflow and helps reduce heat buildup in Malaysia’s warm working conditions.

02

Sliding Seat Depth

Move the seat forward or backward to suit different thigh lengths and maintain clearance behind the knees.

03

5D Dual-Axis Armrests

Reposition the armrests for typing, browsing, gaming, mobile-device use and relaxed sitting.

04

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.

05

Three-Lock Synchronized Recline

Both chairs support position changes through synchronized recline with three locking positions.

06

Retractable Footrest

Use the footrest for short recovery periods, relaxed browsing and temporarily stretching the legs.

The Main Difference

One Support Zone or Two?

Hammock 1

Focused Contact

One central support zone creates more direct and concentrated contact against the lower back.

Hammock 2

Wrapping Contact

Two flexible sections contact a wider area and create a more embracing sensation around the lower back.

Lower-back shape, torso length, sitting position and sensitivity to lumbar pressure all affect which design feels more natural.
Hammock 1 Overview

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.

Flex-Control Lumbar Support

How Hammock 1 Supports the Lower Back

01

Focused Contact

Support is concentrated around the central lower-back region.

02

Controlled Flexibility

The support responds subtly without feeling excessively active.

03

Direct Feedback

It is easy to recognise where the support meets the lower back.

04

Everyday Stability

The focused support helps reduce the unsupported gap behind the lower back.

The goal is not maximum pressure. Correct lumbar contact should feel supportive without forcing the lower back forward or creating a concentrated pressure point.
Preference Check

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.
When to Compare

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
Hammock 2 Overview

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.

Twin Dynamic Lumbar Support

How Hammock 2 Creates a Wrapping Feel

01

Twin Sections

Two flexible sections contact a wider portion of the lower back.

02

Wrapping Contact

The divided structure feels more embracing than one central support zone.

03

Flexible Response

Each section can respond as the body shifts in the chair.

04

Adjustable Feel

Change the contact angle for gentler or more noticeable support.

Twin Dynamic Lumbar Support does not guarantee a fit for every lower-back shape. It provides a different contact pattern and greater control over how closely the lumbar sections meet the body.
Adjustment Guide

Stronger Pressure Is Not Always Better Support

For gentler contact

Reduce the Contact Angle

Move the support away if it feels too prominent or pushes strongly against the body.

For more contact

Bring It Closer

Increase contact if a large unsupported gap remains between your lower back and the chair.

After adjusting

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.
Preference Check

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.
When More Contact Is Not Better

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.

“Focused” and “wrapping” describe the intended support character. They cannot predict which chair your body will prefer.
Body Proportions

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.

01

Seat Depth

Support the thighs without pressing firmly behind the knees.

02

Lumbar Position

The support should meet the lower-back curve—not the pelvis or mid-back.

03

Headrest Reach

It should reach the neck without pushing the head forward.

04

Armrest Position

Support the forearms while the shoulders remain relaxed.

Users below approximately 158 cm should test minimum seat height, seat depth, lumbar position and headrest reach before purchasing.
Seat & Mesh Comfort

Similar Foundations, Personal Preferences

Breathable Mesh Comfort

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.

Sliding Seat Depth

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.

Upper-Body Support

Both Chairs Share Upgraded 4D Headrests and 5D Armrests

5D Dual-Axis 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.

4D Neck-Focused Headrest

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.

Movement & Recovery

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.

Use the footrest for
  • Short recovery periods
  • Relaxed browsing or reading
  • Casual content viewing
  • Temporarily stretching the legs
Do not use it as
  • 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
Long Sitting Hours

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 or SINC?

Hammock Provides Everyday Comfort. SINC Adds Movement-Based Support.

Stay with Hammock when you want
  • Accessible ergonomic support
  • Straightforward everyday operation
  • Breathable mesh comfort
  • Focused or wrapping lumbar options
  • Recline and footrest recovery
Compare SINC when you want
  • Advanced support during movement
  • Closer back contact through posture changes
  • Better support coordination during recline
  • More adjustment and movement control
  • Support for demanding sitting routines

The SINC Series combines synchronized tilt with a Smart-Glide backrest designed to maintain closer back contact as the user changes position and reclines.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

Final Recommendation

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.
