Hyken Chair Headrest Mod

Free, no-damage, headrest height modification for the popular Hyken mesh chair. This simple mod increases the headset height, won't cost you anything and will not damage the chair in any way. See the links below for the parts and tools I used:

can't we remove headrest mount first ?

[@Mikeattempts]

@@Mhzpk Yeah, sure. I just found it easier to work on the headrest with the mount still attached to the chair but do whatever works for you. :)

For THREE YEARS i suffered from the Hyken headrest jabbing into my upper back.... I was just about to get rid of the thing and buy a different chair. GOD BLESS YOU MIKE 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@dhavalsavalia]

Thank you!! Two years of my frustrations are gone!

[@Mikeattempts]

I'm glad the video was helpful, thanks for the comment! :)

[@lem0ncurry]

Just bought the chair this week. Seemed to be ok on reclining but annoying that the headrest wasn't adjustable for a tall person sitting upright. After following your video adjustments, I'll keep the chair. Thank you!

[@Mikeattempts]

I'm glad the video was helpful, thanks for the comment! :)

[@bark2931]

This is perfect. Thank you. Only challenge was putting the neck rest back on (big hands).

[@Mikeattempts]

Yeah, it's tight in there! :)

[@mackerous]

Didn't think it was going to raise it enough for me and I had to jerry rig a tool for it, but by god, It's perfect now. Thank you SO much!

[@Mikeattempts]

I'm glad it worked out for you! :)

[@gbinux]

This mod is perfect for me. Thank you for sharing the tricks.

[@Mikeattempts]

Thanks for the feedback! :)

[@JoelAbshier]

[@Mikeattempts]

No problem, I'm glad the video was helpful. :)

[@eddie11228]

Thanks for this video, didn't even know this was possible!

[@Mikeattempts]

I'm glad it was helpful, thanks for the comment! :)

[@bingbong586]

right on thanks man, i just took mine off and searched if anyone else thought it was too low. Going to do this later today

[@bingbong586]

update: I just stuck the screwdriver through the mesh, and then used a small allen key to return the mesh to its normal configuration, and you cannot tell i stuck a screwdriver through it. Headreast sits much much better now. thanks.

[@Mikeattempts]

@@bingbong586 Thanks, I appreciate the comments! :)

[@anthonyhauser3467]

Thanks this video really helped a lot. Great alternative to using a screwdriver through the mesh like other videos show.

[@Mikeattempts]

That's great, I'm glad the video was helpful! Thanks for the comment. :)

[@GhostofHarewood]

[@Mikeattempts]

[@wonjeon8917]

Thank you for the instruction. I had the same problem and now fixed! 😂

[@Mikeattempts]

That's great, thanks for the comment! :)

[@TheBayAYK]

Thanks. Just got the chair, doing the mod now :)

[@Mikeattempts]

Cool, I'm glad the video was helpful! :)

[@7mpowerd]

worked well for us. wife 5'7 and now its perfect for her. me at 5'11 i just need a bit more height. gonna add brackets to the headrest to raise it a bit.

[@Mikeattempts]

I'm glad the video was helpful, thanks for the comment! :)

[@Grand-Iguana]

Major pain in the butt to get my hands on the head rest but this video was definitely a lifesaver. Thanks

[@Mikeattempts]

Yeah, it's definitely tight in there. I'm glad the video was helpful, thanks for the comment!

[@jryoung1986]

Great info! I’ll give this a go. Might you know where I can get a replacement bracket; the part that attaches the headrest to the rest of the chair… plastic broke at the two bolts that connect to chair back.

[@Mikeattempts]

I think these chairs have like a 7-year warranty or something like that. So, if yours is still under warranty, you can just call Union & Scale (800-270-9557) and they should send you out a new piece free of charge.

[@realghostactual]

and the best human being award goes toooo...!
sucks being so tall lol

[@Mikeattempts]

Hahaha, thanks for watching! :)

[@omarkaiser2070]

Is there any similar mod for the dexely?

[@Mikeattempts]

I'm not sure, possibly.

[@Preetzole]

Just for reference, how tall are you?

[@Mikeattempts]

I'm 6' 1"
