This cream white Hinomi H2 Pro appeals to people looking for the moving-back feel of premium designer chairs at a lower outlay. Its split backrest and adaptive lumbar both respond as you shift, while manual controls let you fine-tune where support lands. With 19 adjustment settings, a 150 kg rating and a 143 degree recline, it is a feature-rich alternative for home workers who want a light colour in the room.

In its favour
- The split backrest and adaptive lumbar both track your movement, an idea close to Herman Miller's flexing backs.
- Lumbar depth and tilt can still be fine-tuned by hand, alongside a fully adjustable headrest.
- A 150 kg rating, aluminium base and 12 years of EU spare part availability are stated.
Good to know
- The listing does not say how far the seat slides, a key fit detail for longer or shorter legs.
- At 24 kg and 73 cm wide, it is a large chair for a small home office.
Our take
A back designed to move
The backrest is split, so the two halves can respond independently as you turn or reach. Combined with lumbar support that tracks your movement, the aim is similar to the flexing backs on high-end task chairs: support that stays in contact rather than a fixed curve you have to sit against.
Unlike fully passive designs, the H2 Pro still lets you adjust lumbar depth and tilt by hand. That is useful if the automatic setting is too firm or too soft for your back.
Headrest, arms and recline
A headrest that moves in height, depth and angle sits at the top. The multi-directional armrests also flip up. The backrest reclines to 143 degrees and can rock freely when unlocked. Hinomi lists BIFMA and SGS compliance and a reinforced aluminium alloy base, plus an optional retractable footrest with a vegan leather cover.
Size, colour and care
This is a big chair. Amazon gives a footprint of about 73 by 73 cm, an overall height of 144 cm and a weight of 24 kg, so check it will fit under your desk and through your door. The seat is 50.5 cm deep and the back about 56 cm wide. A cream white finish brightens a room but will show marks more readily than black; care is listed as spot clean. Spare parts are available in the EU for 12 years, according to Amazon.
Comparisons with big-brand style chairs
The Steelcase Series 1 offers a flexing back and weight-activated tilt in a much more compact frame, with a long warranty, but no headrest. The Sihoo M59AS also uses a dual backrest and adaptive lumbar pillow. The Hinomi stands out for the number of settings and the deep recline.
Verdict
Buy the cream Hinomi H2 Pro if you want a responsive split back, lots of fine adjustment and a headrest, and have room for a large chair. For a compact chair with a premium-brand pedigree, the Steelcase Series 1 is the better fit, and the Sihoo M59AS is worth comparing for a similar dual-back idea.
