Since the emergence of mesh as a material used on ergonomic office chairs in the UK, it has become more and more popular.
The main advantage of mesh is the it is breathable and so it allows the user to be well ventilated and therefore reduces the sweatiness and stickiness that might be a problem when you are spend a long time sitting. In addition, the mesh is also durable and lightweight, and in the cases of spillage it is easy to clean. In terms of construction, mesh is inexpensive but that cost benefit is not always passed through to the consumer. Mesh also has a minimalist and designer look which has become very popular.
The main disadvantage is that the mesh may not have the same support as a foam supported chair, so at least the design needs to be well thought through to achieve the same level of support. Some are critical of the comfort level, however if designed well this should not be a issue. The iconic Herman Miller Aeron office chair is a mesh chair which has shown that a mesh chair can achieve that.
The other consideration to think about is whether you should consider a full mesh office chair, that is a chair where both the backrest and the seat are mesh. In our opinion if the chair is well designed this can have real benefits. An example of a full mesh ergonomic office chair which is brilliantly designed and good quality is the new SIHOO Doro-C300 office chair. If you are in the market for a full mesh office chair, then you cannot go wrong with this chair. As you can see from below, the mesh design is stunning.
Overall mesh ergonomic office chairs are here to stay and we consider that they will only become more popular over time.
