Sleekform Ergonomic Adjustable Office Chair Review 2025

Note: Unfortunately, this product has been discontinued and is currently unavailable. Check out other office chairs we’ve reviewed.

Do you spend much time in front of your computer or working at a desk? Are you on a budget and looking for a fully adjustable chair with ergonomic features?

If so, you may be interested in the Sleekform ergonomic adjustable office chair. Fair warning, though: any time you start looking at any product in the market’s budget or value segment, there will be tradeoffs. You can get the features you want, but you’ll have to give up other things. That’s just how the value segment of the market is.

Therefore, this may or may not be the chair you’re looking for. It’s by no means a perfect solution, but the design has a lot to offer for a very attractive price, and so do other chairs made by Sleekform.

In the following sections, we’ll discuss this chair’s pros and cons in full detail so you’ll have all the information you need to decide if this is the model you’ve been looking for. If that sounds good, let’s jump in and see what the Sleekform can (and can’t) do!

Key Features of the Sleekform Ergonomic Office Chair

The first thing you’ll notice about the Sleekform Ergonomic Adjustable Office Chair is that it’s unobtrusive. At first glance, it looks like most of the other office chairs you see, except this one also features a headrest.

The headrest, though, is just the tip of the iceberg. Although this model may look like a generic office chair, it’s got a fantastic feature set that will impress you. Unfortunately, because it’s (usually) offered at a budget price, it’s also got its share of shortcomings.

Chair Specifications

Concerning basic stats, here’s what you’re looking at where the Sleekform chair is concerned:

Adjustability, Comfort, and Extras

This will be the longest part of our Sleekform Ergonomic Adjustable Office Chair review because, for a budget-priced chair, it has an almost shocking number of features, some beautifully implemented, and others…not so much.

Let’s take it from the top and start with the headrest.

This is an unexpected feature on an office chair, and we love it. It’s reasonably well-padded and comfortable; even better, you can adjust the height and angle. On paper, that’s magnificent, but there are some issues with the implementation.

The headrest may not “fit” you, depending on your body type and height. If you’re much taller than 6’2” or have a long torso, you’ll find that even at full extension, it’s just not quite high enough to be an effective headrest. If you’re 6’2” or shorter, you should have no issues with it, but taller users should be aware.

Of course, if no amount of tweaking will put the headrest in the right position for you, it’s easy enough to remove it, but then you’re paying for a feature you can’t use, and that’s no good either.

The lumbar support pad is also adjustable (both height and depth) and suffers from the same problem as the headrest. If you’re 6’2” or shorter, you’ll find that the adjustment range will put the support pad just where you want it. If you’re taller, it’ll be hit or miss, depending on the length of your torso.

The problem is, if the lumbar support isn’t hitting the right spot, it’s more than just uncomfortable (which is bad enough); it can also hurt your back and mess with your posture. You’d be better off buying a chair without lumbar support.

The armrests are also adjustable (height and distance from the seat), and contoured to provide an ergonomic fit, but sadly, they’re not padded. We’re on the fence about this one. 

Padding would be more comfortable, but it would blunt the effectiveness of the ergonomic contouring. We’re going to call this one a conscious design decision rather than a negative one.

But wait—the Sleekform Ergonomic Office Chair isn’t done yet! It also reclines to a maximum of 45 degrees. Unfortunately, as with many of the chair’s features, there’s a problem.

To make a recline functional, the seat and the back need to move. In this chair, the seat back moves, but the seat itself is completely stationary. That makes reclining in the chair an extremely awkward proposition and renders the feature only marginally useful (at best).

The seat back is mesh, which is fantastic because it’s breathable, making the Sleekform chair conducive to long-duration sitting. The cushion is meshed over cloth and stretched over standard block foam. It’s reasonably comfortable, but some users have complained that it’s too hard for long-duration sitting.

Your mileage will vary on that front, but bear in mind that since it’s conventional block foam, it will break down over time. So, even if it starts off too hard for your liking, it won’t take long for you to break it in, and in a few years’ time, you may need to look into replacing the padding of the seat cushion.

Does Not Come Assembled

As with most office chairs, this one will arrive at your doorstep unassembled. It’s a fairly heavy chair, making it more challenging to assemble than its lighter cousins. The upshot is that the company includes an exceptionally helpful instruction video.

Overall, the assembly process will take about an hour 40-45 minutes, if you have someone to help you.

Pros & Cons of the Sleekform Ergonomic Adjustable Office Chair

So where does that leave us?

You probably noticed in the section on Adjustability, Comfort, and Customization that we listed just about every positive feature and a negative. That’s unfortunate, but that’s the reality of the Sleekform Ergonomic Gaming Chair.

It’s a work in progress. It’s an excellent start but falls short of greatness due to spotty feature implementation.

We’ll summarize the good and the bad here and add a few additional pros and cons we haven’t already talked about:

The Good

The Bad

Based on the above, it’s good that the company has a reputation for excellent customer service because the odds are that you’ll need it.

Sleekform Ergonomic Adjustable Office Chair Review Conclusion

The Sleekform Ergonomic Adjustable Office Chair has a fantastic set of features but suffers from implementations that vary widely in their quality and are further hindered by low-cost materials used in its construction. Because of that, we can’t give the chair a strong recommendation, but we can give it a provisional one. In our view, the ideal user for this chair is someone who:

The more of those that apply to you, the more you’re likely to like the chair—IF you can catch it at the low end of its fluctuating price band (use Honey or a similar app to track the price changes over time and catch it when it’s low).

On that basis, we provisionally recommend the chair. We’ll end by noting that we sincerely hope the company keeps working to improve the model—it has the potential to be one of the best chairs on the market!
