I was recently looking for new chair too and one thing, atleast for me, that played big role is from which material is the back support and seat itself.

Especially if you are a bit sweaty, nobody is surprised in recent hot waves, I was looking in to mainly mesh, totally going around leather or cloth seats, because they will be pain to clean.

From your selection, I was looking into Herman Miller Aeron, which have this option, but do not have build in head support. It needs to be bought solo for extra money from external company, which will add around 100Euro to cost of the chair.
Second was Secret Lab Neue Chair set which have all of those above but kinda low weight limit which might be a problem for somebody.
So in the end I will be getting Autonomous ErgoChair 2, providing mesh seat and mesh back support as well as head support and it is very comfortable for it price tag. Also have metal leg arms instead of hardened plastic.

I got the Staples Hyken chair because it was much cheaper than the other options I was looking at. Plus, I could try it out at a local store before I bought it unlike the others.

I wanted a mesh chair because I feel like the foam options always break down over time and I wanted to see how mesh held up.

All in all, the chair is very good, especially for its price. My only complaint is that the seat area seems a bit narrow.
