FlexFit Hyken Mesh Chair

Everything about the chair is good and that too at a very affordable price. I wish the armrest padding was softer.

it's an affordable chair ok but it's not fantastic

I'm 6'2" and apparently I'm too tall for this chair. My shoulders hit the bottom edge of the head/neck rest in an uncomfortable way and to commit to using it I have to slouch down a bit or else my head ends up tipped back staring at the ceiling. To avoid the bad posture required to use the head/neck rest I just removed it completely. It's disappointing too because I was really looking forward to trying a head/neck rest on my chair for the first time. The "lumbar support" is basically just a piece of Y-shaped plastic with a little pad stretched between that jabs into your back which can slide up and down a bit but is uncomfortable at any position. Is this some kind of torture device meant to encourage good posture by preventing contact at the low back? I have found ways to sit to avoid discomfort from the lumbar support but pretty soon I'm going to look into ways of tearing that part out too. With most office chairs I find that the arm rests collide with the desk keeping me from getting close enough to it but this chair is built so I was actually able to put the arm rests on the wrong sides which points them backwards so I get far less total arm rest (more like just an elbow rest) which is what I want. The mesh seat and back feels fine but I'm beginning to wonder if this mesh is supposed to be for people who need more ventilation in those areas to keep from overheating (which isn't me) but it feels fine anyway. I do like how the end of the seat does not terminate in a plastic edge and instead the seat sort of curves under and the mesh becomes more taught to make the edge more distributed in terms of pressure. The chair can lock into a reclined position which I need to be locked into to keep myself from hunching forward onto my desk but it seems like nearly every office chair can do that.

A great chair!

We use these chairs in my office so I had to get one at home. I had a $250 gaming chair that wasn't as comfy for long term work use. The only issue we have had is the head rest height is not adjustable so this can be annoying for some. Thankfully it is optional and the chair is just as good without it! Been using it almost two years now without complaint at the office.

A Good Ergo Chair For the Price

If your primary concern is wanting to sit correctly this chair will help with that. If you are 5'8'' or above the headrest isn't particularly comfortable and hits your shoulders. I took it off and feel much more at ease but some people have fashioned their own headrests online that seem to work fine. The fabric mesh is a bit abrasive against bare skin. If you like sitting cross-legged on your chairs occasionally or in other positions I'd wear socks comfy pants or buy a fabric cover. The armrests are also a bit hard. Overall it's a good chair for the price and helps me with my posture/sit correctly which was my primary concern. It is comfortable to work in barring the points above where your mileage may vary. Was pretty easy to assemble/clear instructions. Just don't expect this to be a lounging luxurious chair.

Good value

The chair is comfortable. The headrest has little vertical height adjustment and was too low for me (5'11") so I ended up removing it. Even so it is a clear upgrade over the previous chair I was using in my home office. The build instructions were clear not difficult and the necessary tool (hex key) was included. I would buy it again.

Didn’t think a comfortable chair actually existed. Especially when it was less than $200 very pleased

Nice Chair!

My neck was always sore from sitting in my old chair. This chair keeps your posture straight and I noticed my neck was no longer sore after a few days. I enjoy it very much!
