I believe I've tried both, and if you mod or remove the Hyken headrest, the Hyken is better.BengaliPrince wrote: ↑ 6'2 I'd go with the Ikea Markus. But I'd definitely recommend going to both staples and Ikea and sitting in them before you make your final decision.

If anyone has something greater than $10 off 100, like the $15 off 150, or $20 off 150, can you pm me? Thanks!

You should definitely try both. I've had a Markus for a year and I found that I tend to slouch in it and the tilt mechanism often stops working. Adjustable arms on the Hyken is a huge win; I haven't bought it but I found it very comfortable in the store.

Yes it is. I thought it wasn't also but it is if you look close and lift it up it will move.

I picked one up on Sunday. The chair is alright for this price, but it's not as solid as the ones sold in Costco. It feels very comfortable, and both me (5'7") and my wife (5'1") like it better than the Costco chair that we have. The Costco chair has better quality, but it's too big for us. The headrest is "OK", but it's almost hitting my shoulder, and I wouldn't recommend the Staples Hyken Mesh Chair if you're big/tall.

Did this fix the terrible headrest for this chair yet?

The chair was very comfortable for someone my height, 6 2. As said before, the headrest needs to be modded or removed.raptorsfans wrote: ↑ I wouldn't recommend the Staples Hyken Mesh Chair if you're big/tall.

Anyone have thoughts on this chair? Seems comparable.

The chair is OK. Bought it. I'm 5'4; 145 lb and the headrest is still awful for me. pushes the head way forward.
Ended up removing the headrest.
I don't use the arm rests either so... It's a fine task chair
I hope the mesh holds up
Thx to OP. I think the chair seems over-rated but maybe I just have high expectations for a $280 MSRP chair.

Here's the caveat:
- Mod the headrest, or;
- Remove the headrest
The chair is otherwise excellent for me, love the aeration. Manspreading Is no problem with the adjustable arm rests.
Should anyone not get this? If you're severely obese, possibly 350 to 400lbs, it may be a tight fit. I'm 235.

Anyone have the Moustache Ergonomic chair from 123ink.ca ? Seems to be pretty much the same chair but with a padded seat for 109.99. Wondering if they are comparable.

Padded seating is a deal killer. The heat insulation factor is a big downside, as is the lack of airflow.Simo wrote: ↑ Anyone have the Moustache Ergonomic chair from 123ink.ca ? Seems to be pretty much the same chair but with a padded seat for 109.99. Wondering if they are comparable.

The real mvp is whoever suggested those gel pad seat covers on sale at Canadian Tire.
I popped one onto my old chair whose only issue was a terrible seat cushion and I'm back in business
