OFM Ergonomic Upholstered Multi-Adjustable ComfySeat Task Chair with Arms, Black See more like thisAs I sit here in my office during the hottest summer on record for Austin, Texas, the topic of mesh office chairs is certainly on my mind. Granted, I’m sitting in an air-conditioned office. I personally love a padded upholstered back chair, but a growing percentage of people really like the look and feel of a mesh back office chair so today I’ll write about how to pick a good one for you or for your employees. When it comes to mesh chairs, the same basic requirements apply that apply to choosing any good ergonomic chair. A good chair must: be sized to fit your body. be adjustable enough to fit you and your working style. be comfortable for as many hours as you need it to be. For a full description on chair fit and how to evaluate a chair for yourself, please read this great article – One Size Does Not Fit All. While mesh office chairs are available in all price ranges including very low-budget, they don’t all meet the above three requirements.

However, price doesn’t always guarantee more comfort so be sure the chairs you consider meet your needs. Mesh Seat or Not? One of the first considerations is whether or not to consider a mesh seat. Ergonomically speaking, a mesh seat doesn’t distribute body weight as well as a well-contoured, properly padded seat will. (This study done at Texas A&M University visually drives home this point). While I’ve not seen tests done on every model out there, logic tells me that some mesh seats will be better than others but I still don’t recommend them for most users if they sit more than five or six hours a day. The person who sits only part of the day or who is up and down may love a mesh seat, as might someone who does not have hip or back problems. Other things to consider about a mesh seat include: will your body fit well into the mesh and not have to rest on the hard frame that supports it? (This can be a real concern for larger bottoms and there are currently no mesh seat chairs for users over 250 lbs.)

Is the front of the seat edge soft and flexible or does it have a hard edge that will dig into my thighs when I recline? many meshes and pellicles (another type of mesh) are abrasive to your clothing so if you’re wearing expensive clothes, this may be another reason to disqualify a mesh seat.purchase ski lift chair An amazing selection of mesh back office chairs exist and some are extremely comfortable. where to buy a timeout chairSome attributes to look for on the chair back would include:rent tables and chairs high point nc a flexible mesh that will contour to your body shape. tables and chairs for rent in tracy ca

Some of My Favorite Mesh Ergonomic Chairs: I will honestly tell anyone who listens that there is no perfect chair that works well for everybody but these four chairs are favorites that work well for a large percentage of users. The Humanscale Liberty Chair – yes, I’m mentioning this chair twice because it is that good. The three-panel back is very comfortable and I routinely compare the comfort of this chair back to any competitive chair, mesh or not. The seat is available with either foam or gel and is great for all day use. My only beef is that the arms are not width adjustable so they just don’t come in enough for very thin people. However, if that’s not an issue for you, this chair is an excellent contender. The Raynor Ergohuman V2 Chair – the Ergohuman Chair is so well-loved that there is very nearly a cult following for this popular family of chairs that offers models with or without headrests, and with or without upholstered seats. The new V2 Ergohuman offers some improvements over the older model that make it worth the upcharge including 4-way adjustable arms that fit more people really well and a five-position tilt lock that reclines further than the original Ergohuman chairs.

The Allseating You Chair – this pretty chair is new for 2011 and offers a unique flexible and adjustable lumbar support that no other chair offers. A choice of arms, seat padding and appearance options allow you to make this chair truly unique. Budget watching buyers will love the Raynor Apollo Multi-Function Chair. In fact, I love it and I don’t have to watch my budget. This chair has the full range of fit adjustments, a thickly padded seat that is fine for all day use, and an adjustable back with a flexible lumbar support that is genuinely comfortable. I’m fairly certain there isn’t any office chair out there that offers better comfort in this price range. In conclusion, a mesh office chair is definitely an option worth considering and many who use them absolutely love them.   So, have you sat in a mesh office chair? What were your thoughts?
