Had this chair for about a year and a half and honestly feel that it screwed up my legs. I started getting some noticeable discomfort and tingling in my legs that I really had no explanation for. I decided to swap this chair out for something more ergonomic with a waterfall seat that does not compress the legs and felt immediate Improvement. 2 months later the issue is gone. I would highly advise going with an ergonomic brand and not these chairs, yes they are expensive but its a one and done type purchase compared to these.
That's because the Hyken seat is tilted upward a few more degrees than it should be. That likely caused circulation issues. Main reason why I know is because I had similar problems. Used it for about a week before I wheeled it back to Staples for a return.
The Hyken is a budget mesh task chair that can stay comfortable for long workdays and hold up for years, with several long-term owners still using it after 7 to 10 plus years. The breathable seat and back help with airflow, and the warranty has even covered a one time replacement after the seat mesh got flimsy. The main drawbacks are the strong off gassing smell, the tilted seat and headrest fit, and reports of cushion compression or mesh wear over time. It seems best for smaller or budget minded setups, especially if you do not need a plush seat or perfect ergonomics.
people who need a breathable mesh task chair for long work-from-home days because multiple owners say it's comfortable for 8+ hours and still enjoyable after years of use.
home office users who want a lower-cost ergonomic option and can tolerate some tradeoffs because several commenters call it "pretty good for the price" and "very nice" when judged as a cheap chair.
buyers who are okay adding a thick cushion to the seat because one commenter said after adding a thick cushion the chair worked great for daily 9-hour use over 6 years.
taller/long-torso shoppers considering the Hyken Pro because one buyer said they chose the Pro after hearing the regular Hyken was too small for their build.
buyers who want a headrest that works reliably at their exact height because multiple commenters said the headrest only works for specific heights and may need removal (e.g., jamming into the supraspinatus).
shoppers who need a chair that stays comfortable and structurally solid for more than a few years without issues because some owners reported cushion compression, loose mesh, or piston/headrest problems (including a piston failure after a year).
people who sit for long stretches and are sensitive to strong new-chair odors because commenters reported hard off-gassing/overwhelming smell that made them question comfort during long sessions.
people who are prone to leg discomfort or circulation issues because one commenter said the chair caused leg tingling/discomfort after about 1.5 years and improved only after switching to a waterfall-seat chair.
buyers who expect "real ergonomic" performance comparable to high-end brands because at least one commenter said it gave debilitating back pain and compared it unfavorably to Herman Miller/Steelcase.
Several owners report the Hyken lasting about 5 to 7 years, and some say it is still going strong after 7+ years or even over a decade. Common wear points are the headrest support, seat cushion compression, plastic clips, and the mesh becoming flimsy or loose.
It can be comfortable for 8+ hour days, especially for budget buyers, and some use it daily for 6 to 7+ years. Others report the mesh seat, upward seat tilt, headrest, or forward-lean lock can cause leg discomfort, circulation issues, or back pain during longer sessions.
No. The headrest can sit too high or dig into the shoulders for taller users or long torsos, and using a seat cushion can make it unusable. Some owners remove the headrest entirely for a better fit.
The non-Pro mesh seat offers better airflow and less trapped sweat, while the Pro uses full seat cushioning. The tradeoff is that the mesh seat can feel less comfortable over time, and some buyers prefer the Pro's padding.
Good chair - on third one. useful life on these for me is about 5-7 years until one of the plastic clips dislodges. Main issues I have is with the headrest support and the cushion on the main part compressing

I have had this chair for 7+ years now and it's awesome. Used it through pandemic work from home and still work from home at least 3 days a week on it. It's one of the chairs you can spend 8+ hours sitting on it.

I had this chair way back for about 5 Years. I can tell you everything about this chair.
Pros:
-It will last Long.
Cons:
-Off Gasses hard. (A nasty chemical on it) (I don't remember how long it would take for the smell to stop, or if it even stops.)
-The Tilt Forward lock-in position will cause problems with your body; never ever use it. (At first; it feels like a comfortable work position; but you will feel odd pains later on; when your body tries to adapt to this weird position. Again, do not use this position; leaning forward is not good for your stomach either.)
-The bottom mesh seat feels uncomfortable after a while; I kept placing a towel on the chair; a quality solid seat is always best.
-The mesh head-piece is trash; very uncomfortable; I threw it away.
-The back mesh piece is the only good thing about it; but the off-gassing renders it moot.
This is a $40 chair in my opinion. But I wouldn't use it if you gave it to me for free.
Buy something else.
PS: I now remember putting a towel on the seat AND the back piece; I hated the mesh material feel and smell. I was poor at the time, so I had to deal with it. A basic wooden chair would be better than this.
