Hyken vs. $700 Aeron
on June 15, 2014
Posted by: Paula K.
I own both a hyken and an aeron. Comparing the two is hardly fair considering the Aeron will fetch $700 - or one would think! - I prefer the Hyken - seriously! My experience is that I prefer the hyken. Biggest difference is the amazing neck support. I never thought I needed a neck /head support. Now I cant do without one. The Aeron is a softer mesh and more customizable...but if you were looking to drop $700 for an office chair you wouldnt be readign this post. CONS -The arms are a bit high (compared to the aeron) even at their lowest setting -The mesh is a bit 'rough' if you are used to leather or something super soft. It takes a day or two to get used to it. -Suits average sized people better than tall I imagine. The neck rest could cause isses if you are tall (tall= 6'2"+) I am 5'10" and its literally perfect. If you are taller I recomend you test drive it at staples before you buy. PROS -Holy ergonomics batman - fixed my back issues - need I say more. -Look at the way the seat drops in the back...creates a perfect aligned back..."take that exercise ball" -No one will ever admit this on the sales floor but you can pass gas without leaning to one side...sounds silly...until you do it and realize this is the most amazing chair ever.
the mesh in the chair does not get hot from sitting in it for hours at a time so i do not sweat in it. it feels nice. After playing a game for a couple of hours it will help you straighten your back (I tend to hunch my back after a while). the arms are not to hard and the head rest is just a plus to the chair. you can adjust the chair up and down the arm rest inward and outward as well as up and down and the back rest can be moved in or out. you are able to lean back with the chair; this can be adjusted too. the chair was easy to put together also its not that heavy. it moves around pretty easily on the carpet but i would recommend getting it a mat. overall I am happy with my purchase.
My job requires me to have an ergonomic chair that provides the correct amount of support and comfort for a very long day of taking calls and this chair seemed to be a good option. I did not want I spend $125 on a chair but after sitting in a chair for four hours straight lunch and another four hours I decided I would make the investment. I do not regret my decision. This is the most comfortable chair I've ever sat in and the mesh allows for the air to keep my legs from getting too hot throughout the day. I would recommend thischair to anyone who needs the supports for those long hours at work or even just for a comfortable seat in general. Chairs on other sites were twice as much as this one was but they were the same quality if not worse. I bought it and loved it told a friend about it and they also are very satisfied by their purchase
I conducted an exhaustive search for an affordable office chair and ended up with this one. I could not find a better chair for less than $250. I'm 6'1" 195lbs max arm width and seatback settings fit me perfectly. I was worried in the store about how the head rest hitting my shoulders--this is not an issue at home. An Aeron chair of this variety would run you in excess of $1500. Just buy 10 of these!
I am a Chiropractor and I use this chair in my office. I have been noticing that my seated posture is a whole lot better with this chair than the last one. That has helped me stay more focused as I'm working
These chairs are fabulous! It helps support your back and allow air circulation so you don't sweat. I used the "heavier" style chair for years and wish I would have discovered this chair sooner. The mesh material is so light and airy. The shape of the chair helps your posture so you don't slump over easily. I feel more energetic with this style chair then the "heavier" chair style. Everyone who sits in this chair has commented how nice it is. I look forward to replacing the rest of the chairs in the office.
I bought this chair due to back pain. The store put it together and every time I sit it in it sinks down. I have tried to tighten the seat but to no avail. Otherwise it is a nice chair!
