I've been through three chairs in the last year. Comfortable chairs when sitting is as important as comfortable shoes when standing and the Hyken chair has fit my need well above the previous three I had tried. The headrest is nearly a pillow under my neck when I recline back for brief moments of respite between bouts of deskwork.
I read a lot of reviews before purchasing this chair and they basically said it's great if you're on the shorter size and average weight but not great for larger people. This is basically true. I'm 5'8 175lb Male and this is the PERFECT size chair for me. However I've had friends that were in the 6-foot range and larger find it not as comfortable. There are better chairs to buy if you are larger. The headrest is in the perfect spot for my height and the width is perfect for my weight. I can't speak on shorter people but I will just say if you are an average-sized male in the 5'7-5'9 or maybe 5'10 range this is an amazing chair. Easy to put together and super comfortable and ergonomic. If you are not this size I would look elsewhere.
The chair is great! I only wished the edge of the chair had a smoother end instead of the mesh which is uncomfortable if your wearing a dress shorts it’s irritating to your skin. Just a thought!
I love this chair. I was struggling to put it together called Task Rabbit and a wonderful young man did it in twelve minutes. It is so comfortable. Only one problem. I am 5'2" The headrest hits the back of my head. (maybe that's what it's supposed to do?). It would be perfect if it could be lowered to neck level. In other words against the top of the chair in place of a space. I would like to write a suggestion to the company to make it adjustable. How do I do that? Overall so many good things about this chair.
