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 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.
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.
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?”

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.
Mesh construction promotes airflow and helps reduce heat buildup in Malaysia’s warm working conditions.
Move the seat forward or backward to suit different thigh lengths and maintain clearance behind the knees.
Reposition the armrests for typing, browsing, gaming, mobile-device use and relaxed sitting.
Both upgraded headrests can be adjusted to reach closer to the neck curve instead of only the back of the head.
Both chairs support position changes through synchronized recline with three locking positions.
Use the footrest for short recovery periods, relaxed browsing and temporarily stretching the legs.
One central support zone creates more direct and concentrated contact against the lower back.
Two flexible sections contact a wider area and create a more embracing sensation around the lower back.
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.
Support is concentrated around the central lower-back region.
The support responds subtly without feeling excessively active.
It is easy to recognise where the support meets the lower back.
The focused support helps reduce the unsupported gap behind the lower back.
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.
Two flexible sections contact a wider portion of the lower back.
The divided structure feels more embracing than one central support zone.
Each section can respond as the body shifts in the chair.
Change the contact angle for gentler or more noticeable support.
Move the support away if it feels too prominent or pushes strongly against the body.
Increase contact if a large unsupported gap remains between your lower back and the chair.
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.
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.
| 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 |
Two people of the same height can have different thigh lengths, lower-leg lengths, torso lengths, shoulder positions, lumbar locations and neck lengths.
Support the thighs without pressing firmly behind the knees.
The support should meet the lower-back curve—not the pelvis or mid-back.
It should reach the neck without pushing the head forward.
Support the forearms while the shoulders remain relaxed.
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.
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.
Adjust height, forward/backward position, width, pad angle and dual-axis pivot movement to suit working and relaxed positions.
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 Hammock models let you move away from a continuously upright position through synchronized recline with three locking positions.
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.
The SINC Series combines synchronized tilt with a Smart-Glide backrest designed to maintain closer back contact as the user changes position and reclines.
Keep your feet supported and compare both chairs at a similar height.
Support the thighs without pressure behind the knees.
Notice which lumbar structure meets your lower back more naturally.
Try both a gentler and a more noticeable lumbar setting.
Confirm it reaches the neck without pushing the head forward.
Support the forearms while keeping the shoulders relaxed.
Compare backrest, lumbar and headrest feel while leaning back.
Sit for several minutes so pressure points or support gaps can emerge.

Choose Hammock 1 for direct, stable lumbar contact and straightforward everyday ergonomic comfort.
Choose Hammock 2 for twin lumbar sections, adjustable contact angle and a more embracing support feel.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Hammock 2. Its Twin Dynamic Lumbar Support uses two flexible sections to create a more embracing sensation around the lower back.
Yes. Its lumbar contact angle can be changed to create gentler or more noticeable contact.
Yes. Both use a sliding seat that moves forward or backward to suit different thigh lengths.
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.
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.
Compare the SINC Series when you need more advanced movement-based support, closer back contact through posture changes or greater support coordination during recline.
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.
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.
