This chair is amazingly comfortable and the lumbar is just right. I have sat in other chair where i felt like I was being stabbed in the back. This chair has enough adjustments to make is perfect for multiple heights. Only complaint is the default headrest. If you are above 5' 5 the headrest wont work for you out of the box. Luckily its SUPER easy to fix. Google "Hyken headrest mod" and you will find very detailed instructions with pictures. Its literally remove 2 screws flip a piece over and screw back together. This raises the headrest a few inches and is now PERFECT (im 6 feet tall). 100% would buy this chair again.
Wish the neck rest was adjustable by height. I'm 5'1 and it hits me right at the back of my noggin would have loved it if it hit me at the curve of my neck. Lumbar support is on point.
I have been searching for a chair that is supportive and comfortable and that nudges me toward better posture for a long long time. Since the pandemic and full-time-work-at-home began I have ditched my last chair for two others with poor results. They were either not comfortable or exacerbated lower back problems. Enter the Hyken Task Chair. It’s affordable good-looking and amazingly comfortable. I have a sit-to-stand desk and I used to stand almost all day. Now I can easily switch between sitting and standing and be comfortable both ways. My one complaint is that although the chair tilts backward there is no adjustment to tilt it forward. My physical therapist suggested that my lower back problem could be helped if my knees were lower than my rear. I have been able to solve the problem by using a supportive lower back cushion on the seat; the wedge is perfect for sitting in the right position. However if you don’t have this problem you will find the chair extremely comfortable
My previous chair was still comfortable but not in the best shape. One of the office chairs was replaced with a mesh chair a few years ago. I like the feel of it so I decided to get one for home. This is a little more extravagant than the one at work but I deserve it.
