Mesh Office Chairs

Mesh office chairs and staying cool

Mesh moves air. A padded back traps heat against you over a long afternoon, and in a warm room or a south-facing office that is the thing you notice first, before you notice anything about posture or adjustment.

The second advantage is that mesh flexes to your back rather than compressing under it. Foam takes a set over time and stops pushing back where you need it; a tensioned mesh panel keeps its shape for far longer.

Mesh office chair support and adjustment

Most of these carry lumbar support, and it is the adjustment worth having above all others. It fills the hollow of the lower back so the spine keeps its natural curve instead of rounding forward. Ergonomic models add seat height, back angle and armrest adjustment, which is what lets one chair fit two people.

A headrest is on many of them and earns its place once the back reclines: without it a tilted chair leaves your neck unsupported. High-back builds continue past the shoulder blades so the whole back is carried.

Mesh office chair sizing

Heights run 27 to 56.7 inches overall, widths 20.5 to 30.3 and depths 19.7 to 29.1. Measure the space the chair reclines into as well as the footprint under the desk, because a high-back model needs clearance behind it that a low task chair does not.

Set the height so your forearms are level with the desk and your feet are flat on the floor. Mesh needs almost no care: vacuum the panel occasionally and wipe the frame with a damp cloth, and avoid sitting on the edge of the seat, which stretches the front of the mesh unevenly. If the desk is slightly too high, raise the chair and add a footrest rather than lifting your shoulders to reach it.
