Staples Hyken Task Chair

This chair is the most comfortable mesh chair we have ever purchased. My wife loves the way it reclines and has a headrest so we can take a break lean back and watch TV on the wall without straining our necks. It keeps you from slouching too! The chair seems to mold right onto your body for a perfect fit. One of us has back problems and it fits so much like a glove it can be sat in for hours at a time without having to get up and stretch. Too bad we can't afford to replace the one at our other desk at the moment or it would be gone in a flash and replaced by this fantastic Hyken chair. Thank you soooo much!!! It was a great price too!
This is one of the most comfortable task chairs I have used. Comfortable seat great back support and the head rest I find to be wonderful. Just sit back and relax. Rolls easily on a carpeted surface as well as on the desk mat. Adjustable height makes it easier to get comfortable at the desk.
I had received another chair for my birthday but it didn't have the mesh bottom. After an hour of sitting in the chair I had to get something else. I had seen this chair in the store sat on it and played with all the levers. Then I learned something cool each chair has a rating. It rates how many hours you can comfortably sit in a chair. The first chair I got was rating a 1. As in 1 hour comfort and that lived up to it rating! This ALL mesh chair with adjustable everything is rated at 5-7. As in up to 7 hours of comfortable sitting. I haven't tested the chair the full 7 hours but I have been in my chair for over 3 hours I'm a writer and it has past with flying colors. I really recommend this chair.
The key with this chair was the ability to rest my head and neck. I don't know why more office chairs don't have this feature. It helps me to avoid neck pain from leaning forward all day. Its fairly easy to put together and very sturdy and comfortable. I thought the price was reasonable as well considering the cost of some of the pricier ergo style office chairs.
I particularly like the back support and open breathable mesh design of this task chair. It is comfortable in a way that many chairs cannot provide due to the concave shape of those chair backs that exerts pressure on the upper shoulders causing one to hunch over a bit. This chair back provides support from just above the hips up to about midway on the shoulder blades. There is no more hunching over. The arm rests are padded but could be a little softer for more arm comfort. This chair is also sufficiently adjustable to support me in an upright position for typing or in a reclining position for relaxing. Try it!
It's comfortable but after sitting on it for a long while I feel my butt is kept sinking toward the back of the chair. The chair has this funny slope on the back of the seating pad that it makes your legs raised up a little bit while your behind is being pulled toward the back of the chair. The mesh is comfortable but the back-curved seating pad makes it uncomfortable and unnatural for your body's sitting posture in the long run. I end up not using it and went back to my old chair that has flat seating pad.
Just bought I am a big guy 6 1 Medium built 245 ( not round ) The point is that this Headrest should be adjustable so that it doesn't sit behind my neck. This chair is suitable for someone shorter and not a large frame as myself. I liked that it was cool and stirdy but the headrest is the reason why I was attracted to it. Big let down..
