In an era where many of us spend more hours at our desks than ever before, choosing the right office chair becomes increasingly important. The CLOUVOU ProSeat promises to address this challenge with a touch of luxury and well-thought-out ergonomics. But can it really provide all-day comfort without making us feel like we’re sitting on clouds?
The CLOUVOU ProSeat is an ergonomic office chair specifically designed for long workdays. It targets individuals who spend a lot of time sitting and value back health and comfort. Whether the chair is actually suitable for everyone who spends many hours at a desk will be examined more closely in this test. 
Optimize your workspace with the ergonomic CLOUVOU office chair – pure comfort!
- Product name: CLOUVOU ProSeat
- Target group: The manufacturer states that the chair is suitable for large and heavy individuals. We will examine this claim for practical suitability in the test.
- Technical data:
- Color: Black
- Material: High-quality workmanship with robust construction
- Upholstery material: QuantumFlex fabric
- Frame: Chrome-metal
- Armrests: 4D-adjustable
- Wheels: Blade Wheels, floor-friendly and quiet
- Seat mechanism: Seat Slider function
The quality of the materials used seems high-grade at first glance, but we will pay particular attention to the durability and load-bearing capacity of the individual components in the test.
- Features:
- Thermoregulating upholstery fabric: The “Quantum Flex” fabric is supposed to cool or warm depending on the temperature. We will check whether this effect is noticeable and how it performs in everyday use.
- Adjustable backrest: The backrest can be locked in three angles (90°, 110°, 135°). This sounds promising for various working positions, but we will test whether these settings are equally comfortable for all body sizes.
- Seat-slider function: The adjustable seat depth is particularly interesting for users of different body sizes. We will examine how easy this function is to use and whether it actually offers added value.
Product Test
For the test of the CLOUVOU ProSeat, I intensively used the chair in my home office for a week. I paid particular attention to comfort, adjustment options, and the effects on my posture. Here are my detailed experiences:
Test Criteria
- Packaging and delivery
- Assembly and initial setup
- Workmanship and material quality
- Seating comfort during different activities
- Adjustment options and their handling
- Functionality of special features (e.g., thermoregulating fabric)
- Ergonomics and effects on posture
- Noise development and freedom of movement
- Cleaning and maintenance
- Overall impression after a week of intensive use
Procedure
The test extended over seven days, during which I used the chair daily for at least eight hours. I deliberately varied between different work activities such as writing, making phone calls, and video conferencing to check the versatility of the chair.
I paid special attention to my posture and any signs of fatigue. As a tester with a height of 178 cm and a weight of 75 kg, I represent an average user. It should be noted that experiences may vary for individuals with significantly different body measurements. 
Unboxing
The CLOUVOU ProSeat arrived in a sturdy cardboard packaging that contained all parts safely and well-padded. The packaging made a high-quality impression and all components were logically arranged. Besides the chair itself, I found all necessary assembly tools as well as detailed assembly instructions. I was particularly pleased to see that all small parts were packaged in labeled plastic bags, which greatly facilitated the assembly.
Installation
The assembly of the chair was uncomplicated. Thanks to the illustrated instructions and pre-sorted parts, I was able to assemble the chair in about 25 minutes. All screws and connecting elements fit perfectly, indicating good quality control. Only when attaching the backrest did I have to use a bit more force than expected, which could be challenging for less strong individuals. 
Test Progress and Test Result
In the first week of my test with the CLOUVOU ProSeat, I used the chair intensively in various work situations. Here are my detailed experiences:
Day 1-2: First Impressions and Settings
After the relatively easy assembly, I began adjusting the chair to my needs. The 4D armrests were intuitive to adjust and provided good support for my arms while working on the computer. The seat-slider function allowed me to optimally adjust the seat depth to my height. However, it took me some time to find the ideal position.
The QuantumFlex fabric felt pleasant on the skin, and I actually noticed a slight cooling effect when the room temperature rose in the afternoon. The Blade Wheels moved quietly as promised and left no visible marks on my hardwood floor.
Day 3-4: Comfort During Longer Sessions
During longer work sessions of up to four hours at a stretch, I noticed that the lumbar support did a good job. My lower back still felt well supported even after extended periods. The ability to lock the backrest at three different angles proved useful, especially when switching between concentrated work and more relaxed reading.
However, I noticed that while the headrest is adjustable in height, it is not adjustable in tilt angle. This occasionally led to less than optimal support for my neck, especially when I leaned back. 
Day 5-6: Various Work Situations
I tested the chair in various work situations, from desk work to video conferences to short relaxation phases. The wide seat allowed me to vary my sitting position frequently, which I found very pleasant. During video conferences, I particularly appreciated the ability to lean forward slightly without the chair losing its supportive function.
The synchronous mechanism worked smoothly and adapted well to my movements. However, I noticed that some of the plastic parts on the armrests showed slight signs of wear after intensive use, which raises questions about long-term durability.
Day 7: Overall Impression and Cleaning
On the last test day, I reflected on my overall experience with the chair. The seating comfort remained consistently high throughout the week, and I noticed an improvement in my sitting posture. Cleaning the QuantumFlex fabric was uncomplicated – light soiling could be easily removed with a damp cloth.
Overall, the CLOUVOU ProSeat performed well in most test criteria. It offers a high degree of comfort and adjustment options that positively impact ergonomics. The workmanship is mostly high-quality, although the durability of some plastic components remains to be proven. 
Personal Impression
After a week of intensive use, I am largely convinced by the CLOUVOU ProSeat. The chair has mostly met my expectations in terms of comfort and adjustment options. I was particularly impressed by the synchronous mechanism and the thermoregulating upholstery fabric.
“The ability to adopt different sitting positions without losing support has noticeably increased my productivity,” was my conclusion after the test week.
However, there were also some points that show potential for improvement. The non-adjustable tilt of the headrest was a minor drawback for me.
“A more flexible headrest would further improve comfort for different body sizes,” I noted in my observations.
Overall, the CLOUVOU ProSeat left a positive impression, even if it’s not perfect. It offers a good balance between comfort, functionality, and ergonomic design that many users will appreciate.
