I spend the work day at my desk and started to feel lower back pain. I figured I would try a new office chair and found the Hyken chair set up at my local Staples. I could feel the lower back support right away and since the chair was on sale I decided to pick it up. Well after a few weeks of using it I'm happy to say my back doesn't hurt anymore so I'd say the Hyken chair is a big win! Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that the seat is a little on the small size so might not be the best fit for all users.
While the chair itself is comfortable I did have to remove the headrest feature as it is located at about the top of my shoulder blades. I am 6 foot tall so it's not like I am oddly tall either. The other thing to be aware of is that it does have a 225# weight limit. If it had been used for the shipping manager it would have to have been returned. As it is we will keep the chair because it is comfortable. But if you are buying this with the headrest in mind and are taller than 5'10" or over 225# I would look elsewhere.
The chair is very comfortable and it gives the back support that is needed when you are sitting in it for several hours. Very nice chair and well pleased with it.
My son picked this out for his new desk which was at an awkward height for him and the keyboard .. we needed the chair to be able to go up and down to accommodate both this desk and his drafting table which is higher. He has neck and back pain so even at 16 this is a great chair for him because it really encourages sitting straight up keeping arms up and not slumping down. the only thing he wishes is that the neck could adjust up and down also as it seems a little low for him. But he's probably trying to slide down and play video games in it. I think it is a great chair and the mesh will keep him cooler than a leather chair would.
