Sixty Quid for All This, Really?
Massage function. Footrest. Lumbar support. Adjustable height. On paper, this reads like a chair that costs three times as much, and that's exactly what makes it interesting and slightly suspicious at the same time. The SUKIDA has been doing the rounds on HotUKDeals with solid community heat, so it's not just me being optimistic here.
For context: I know someone who spent ages on a cheap office chair during lockdown and ended up with the kind of back ache that ruins your evenings. A chair like this, with actual lumbar and headrest support, would have made a real difference. That's the person this is aimed at. Students, casual gamers, people working from a small flat who want something more comfortable than an IKEA desk chair but can't stomach a Herman Miller price tag.
The Honest Reservations
Look, at £60 you're not getting Secretlab quality. The massage feature is almost certainly a light vibration motor rather than anything that'll sort out genuine tension. The materials will be PU leather, which breathes about as well as a bin bag in July. And "675° community heat" is a metric from a deals forum, not a quality badge.
That said, if your current chair is a dining room castoff or a wobbly stool, this is a meaningful upgrade. The footrest alone is a nice touch for shorter sessions.
- Good for: budget setups, teens, students
- Not for: all-day WFH use or anyone with serious back issues
Personally, I'd not rely on the massage as a selling point. But as a basic comfortable chair with decent support for the price, it's not half bad.
