Dexley vs Hyken Staples Office Chairs Comparison
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 мар 2021
- I don't normally review office chairs. But after debating between the Dexley and Hyken office chairs from staples, I found there wasn't a lot of information to inform my decision. So I decided to create this video to review and compare both office chairs.
1) Union & Scale™ FlexFit Dexley Mesh Task Chair, Black (UN56946)
2) FlexFit™ Hyken Mesh Task Chair, Charcoal Gray (UN59464)
You can find both chairs at staples for $150. But you can get them on sale for less than $130.
Overall, I'd say check out the Hyken if you are shorter than 5'9/5'10 since the chair is made better for folks who are shorter. If you're taller than 5'10, check out the Dexley as it's made for people who are taller and bigger. Either way, if you have a Staples nearby, you can easily return the chair if you don't like it.

Just got the dexley and it’s amazing.
Pro Tip: Flip the Dexley over, take the 3 backrest screws out. Next, take a metal drill bit, and lengthen the adjustment slots, so that the backrest can be moved in up to 1.5" more. This provides a better upright seated position. Also, if you add locking washers under the screws for the backrest you just drilled, face the thickest part of the locking washers towards the back of the chair. This actually angles the backrest a little bit more forward when secured. If you do both of these tweaks, you'll appreciate the chair much more.
“Face the thickest part of the locking screws towards the back of the chair”. 🧐🤨🤔
I meant locking washer😮
Update: ended up selling the dexley. Tried a Herman miller aeron size b for 3 months. Wasn't a big fan of the mesh and lined plastic (can't put feet up). Got the steelcase gesture (Wirecutter's top chair). This chair is amazing. So happy with it. Paid $850 tho so def not cheap. My work paid for it 🙏.
Yea I never understood the hype of the Aeron chair other than it has the best armrest in the market. I even started having back pain with the aeron chair, and that’s with the lumbar support.
I adjusted my hyken chair by adjusting the back rest sleeves with an Allen key and pushing it as far back as possible and its 100 times better I’m 5’9” 150lbs
At my work they use HONS and All Steel brand (not full mesh). Very comfortable, but they don't make those chairs any more :(
I have the Dexley and I love it!
This video is wonderful! Thank You!
Nate according to other videos the armwrest width can be adjusted at assembly for the dexley
I'm 5'6 3/4 so the arm rest doesn't go down far enough when my feet are flat on the floor at a 90% angle, I think my arms aren't long but I may have a shorter torso. The problem is it hunches my shoulders up because the armrest doesn't sit low enough for me.
Thanks for the video!
Great review thanks
Hey Nate, Buy the Dexley and the Hyken. Assemble the Dexley using the base plate from the Hyken.
I came into my local Staples specifically to get the Hyken but ended up leaving with a Dexley. It was 20 dollars more but I wasn't boxed in super hard by the arms like I was with the Hyken. They were both EASILY the most comfortable chairs in the whole store though, even beating out the meme gaming chair that they had. Was worth it 100%.
@Caleb J I am about 5 foot 8 and I have it. it is really nice and has really nice back support for working at like a pc. I acutally perfer the hyken over the dexley but it is best if you try both
their gaming chair really sucks ass.
@@Matanumi All gaming chair sucks.
I think the perfect combo of the Dexley and Hyken is the Tempur Pedic 6450. I just got it yesterday after trying out the Hyken and Dexley at Staples and the Tempur Pedic chair is the perfect combo for me. It has an adjustable base, adjustable armrests in height, a headrest, tilt back and lock, and adjustable lumbar.
The issue with the Tempur Pedic 6450 is that the bottom where your butt meet the chair is not mesh…..your butt needs to breathe freely for long work/gaming sessions.
awesome review! Staples should have this vid linked on the chair’s page haha. How are they holding up? any other staples chairs you’d try/recommend?
thanks for doing this review
For sure!
walked in a staples today to try both... Im a similar build as you, basically the dexley is too clumsy and I hate the lack of recline lock, while the hyken is too short for my height (width perfectly fine though), although I couldn't try it without the headrest. The headrest in the hyken is unusable for my body type...
it feels to me that staples needs to come up with a dexley sized hyken, if you know what i mean: The exact same design as a hyken, but for taller folk. The dexley just has too many design flaws to justify purchasing....
....the Dexley was supposed to be JUST THAT but they cheaped out on the manufacturing in later years. I've noticed the chairs they make today aren't as good as chairs they've made 4 years ago
Im 5’9, the hyken with the headrest is awful, without the headrest its perfect
Thanks!
I have had my Dexley for a week now. At first it was amazing. However, the seat frame on the sides of the seat made my hips pretty sore after about the first hour of use. I just couldn't get comfortable after that. Slapped a nice cushion down over the seat, and presto... KILLER SEAT!!! I tightened up the recline tension to the max, and it more or less the negates the play in the backrest while in the locked position. I'm 6'0" and the headrest is just short and too far back while upright, but when the chair reclines, it is perfect. Pretty awesome for $149.
How to tighten up the recline tension?
@@sAm-kh8nf yeah
The knob underneath turns to tighten or loosen the recline tension
Do you think the hyken or dexley would be more comfortable for me if I’m 5’10 and around 200 lbs? Thanks in advance!
dexley. hyken is too small
2:45 Sitting with your legs on the chair puts a lot of strain on your knees which is weird since it usually feels comfortable. I recently sprained a ligament in my knee and I'm pretty sure it was partially due to sitting like this. Just something to know! :)
great job
my hyken has locked in the upright position. Does anyone know how to free it up?
the staples carder mesh is not bad, i think the headrest option should be added to the carder mesh and it would be the better chair
Kroy is a better chair with a higher ergonomic rating. Carder looks impressive with all the controls but has a lower hours of use rating.
I think the hyken would be better for me since I have bad posture and want the 90 degree angle
The Dexley looks nicer, but I'd prefer the ability to do a 90 degree upright position like the Hyken. Oh well.
It's a game of tradeoffs
Thanks for the info. Just ordered the Dexley as I’m about 6’4 and the Hyken seems to be too small for me.
Thanks! Hope you like it.
@Dex how was the headrest. Seems low for me and I am 5'11
Zero chances it fit 6'4" properly. It doesn't even fit the presenter quite right and that's a 5" difference.
Us tall folk really are kind of left out right now. The best 6'2"-6'6" chair I've found is the Workpro Momentous, but it's a foam/cloth seat...bleh.
It's interesting that the website lists the Hyken as not able to recline, but says that the Dexley can.
Went to staples, the Hyken can recline pretty well.
damn i didn’t find this video on time, I bought a 4000 series chair for my room but then went to IKEA and bought their Markus chair, now im stuck with two chairs bc idk what’s good
I never care for the Markus chair.
My only question is that I have a cat, and It loves resting on my chair. Sometimes when she jump up to the chair she doesn’t quite make the mark and likes to dig her nails and pull herself up. Can I even have this chair?
This answer is probably useless 6 months later but... My room mate has this big fat 15 lbs ginger cat that tries to literally use the netting of my hyken to sharpen his claws. The netting ends up being durable enough to handle it. I've had my hyken since January 9 2020, so it's been 2.5 years.
thank you
I feel like you have the two names mixed. I just bought the Hyken and it looks exactly the chair you keep calling the Dexley. Maybe they did a revamp since March?
there are 2 versions of the hyken
@@danielcastro5966 Wait...what?
that hyken chair used to be like 100 something... nowadays its 400+
Hyken for me felt like a kids size chair, and the Dexley was also, a bit small feeling... I am only 6'1 and the headrest was too low... the slight lean it has is super annoying and promotes slouching to get comfortable. the construction it, well, is very confusing, why have adjustment screws for the seat bottom if the bar gets in the way, causing me to sit on the plastic frame. very disappointed after seeing these great reviews for it...
found this really helpful, especially with the slouching
seems like this hyken chair is for comfort
……I'm exactly 5'10'' so this consufused me now, and I'm a bit overweight so I guess I should choose Dexley?
So helpful! thanks!
do you recommend the dexley for smaller people? And by smaller I mean 5’
I have one, and I would say "Why Not?". Worst case scenario, you might need a foot rest.
I’m 5’3 and I love my Dexley
I just got the dexley a week ago. I like it alot better than the hyken.
@@tuckertech same height as you, but I think I should have gone with hyken 🫠
Where’s the headrest on the hyken?
All the ones that I've seen have headrests but on the Dexley that I bought the assembly instructions showed that the headrest that came with it was optional. I'd guess that maybe he just didn't put his on for some reason.
He said he didn't put it on because it was too low for him.
You can remove the headrest on the hyken?
Even better! You can simply skip installing it! Then there's nothing to remove:)
But in all seriousness, yes you can. It's just two bolts. I actually removed mine because I wear large headphones, and they tend to clank against the plastic part of the head rest when I lean back. Kinda got annoying. I also sometimes like to lean back and to the side a little (specially if I gotta fart), and I'm not a fan of the small width of the headrest forcing the plastic sides into the back of my skull. It's been two days since I removed it, and I really don't miss it.
@@bullpuppy7455 thanks just ordered it on Amazon, I won’t bother installing head rest. I do talking head shots on my channel & rather not have a headrest show on camera.
@@AJCoReTV Anytime friend!
yikes, on CA, these are 299 hyken, 279 dexley
Did you correctly name the chairs? Everywhere else, the hyken chair looks like the one on the left.
Its correct. For some reason his hyken doesnt have the headrest.
Source: i own a hyken
@@spicielinguinie5109 how tall are you and do you recommend it im 5‘6
U think these are better then gaming chairs ?
They were both x10 better than the gaming chair that they sold at the Staples I went to, but I've been hearing very good things about GTRACING's latest models so I wouldn't write them off completely. I went with a Dexley but here's some other good stuff that tempted me:
(WARNING: GTRACING shilling)
The ACE-M1 looks pretty slick and is made of some really quality choice of material if you're okay with spending up to $250-300 instead, and they also carry the older models with BlueTooth and/or nice footrests if those suit your wants, but throw the TechLens coupon code on anything you pick out first to take off $22 (at the time of writing it works). There's a sale going on literally right now as well.
(GTRACING shilling over)
Got that code from this dude's review, who usually promotes the Hyken above all others: ruclips.net/video/SEvGmLv_hdM/видео.html&ab_channel=TechLens
@@YouWinAFREEiPOD damn I want. One
I own a Hyken, they're better than most gaming chairs. More breathable, more ergonomic, mesh is also softer than the faux leather and hard paddings most gaming chairs have.
dexley is a great chair but no locked recline
Put it this way I’m 6’3 and the dexley headrest is still to short for me just wasted $200
Well at least you're 6'3. That is a blessing.
the dexley arms can be closer you have to push them in b4 u screw them
Thanks! Good to know! I was worried about that. I just got mine today and haven't put it together yet.
what if you are exactly 5"10 :/
i think the hyken would work for you
I thought hyken had a head rest
I'm fat and love the Dexley
How big? I'm 6 feet and 280. Think it'd fit me ok?
@@jonboywhite13 Yup, you'll be good. Still using it to this day. It's held up well, and just as comfy when I got it.
I am a bit taller though, so I bought a longer gas cylinder just so my knees wouldn't be pushing upwards. But you should be fine at 6'
You need a door stopper...
Why doesn't your Hyken have a head rest lol?
I was too lazy to install and knew I was going to return.
Nate Medina if you’re gonna do a review don’t be lazy.
@@ln5423 i liked his review, he didn't yell compared to other youtube reviews. i'm still waiting for your chair review btw. it's only been 4 years LOL
DONT BUY THE DEXLEY(AND MAYBE THE HYKEN)
I have a dexley and its one of the worst chairs I have ever used. In only 1 week I noticed the mesh seat sagging in, 3 weeks later my ass could touch the plastic at the bottom (I'm only 170 btw). I still have the dexley and have had it for over 5 months and I have to sit way back in the seat so I don't get any pressure points on my ass. Also the piston sucks ass, every time I sit down it makes a super loud noise and it gets even louder when I get up (it came in like that btw, fresh out of the box). Not only that, every time I sit down the piston sags down noticeably, that's the main reason it makes that noise when I sit down and get up. One last thing for some reason it makes a really loud cracking/clicking noise when I lean over and back.
Thanks!
