Better ergonomic equipment for your desk doesn’t have to be expensive. The proof: You can pick up a comfy, adjustable office chair at a fantastic price right now. Staples is running counter sales during Amazon’s Prime Big Deals Day period, with its Hyken Ergonomic Mesh Swivel Task Chair down to $130 with free shipping or 56 percent off.
(The free shipping really makes this deal, by the way. I’ve purchased one of these in the past for a family member and can confirm it’s not the easiest to lug from a store.)
This $300 MSRP chair pops up regularly in Reddit posts and comments, with users generally positive about their experiences. But it’s not popular among anonymous Redditors—PCWorld staffers have owned the Hyken for years, too, as have family and friends we’ve made the recommendation to. So far, no complaints!
Why the Hyken love? It offers good ventilation via the mesh back and seat, high adjustability via its swivel-tilt, tension knobs, and movable lumbar support, and decent weight support (up to 276 pounds). The only drawback is the requirement to assemble before use, but it usually goes pretty quickly with another person on hand. (Assuming you don’t fall prey to the Ikea effect.)
If you prefer a wider seat, Staples has also slashed the price of its Dexley Ergonomic Mesh Swivel Task Chair to an even cheaper price than the Hyken—it’s currently $128 and also includes free shipping. It’s very similar to the Hyken, but Redditors (and a friend of mine) with bigger frames say they feel less cramped in the Dexley. But I also liked the feel of this chair as much as the Hyken, even with my narrower frame, after using one during a week of remote work.
Staples chair deals sometimes sell out—and Amazon won’t provide competing chair deals forever. So don’t wait to grab the Hyken Task Chair or Dexley Task Chair, as these prices won’t last.
