Mesh Office Chair - A Popular Newcomer

Mesh office chair is a relative newcomer, but it does grow more popular each and every day. It's hardly surprising, since mesh chairs possess some unique benefits, in comparison to other chairs.

One of the most important benefits is that a mesh office chair is extremely "breathable", and each time you swivel or turn in your chair, you may note the air passing right through the mesh. Why would you need that? It's a fact that people are more productive if they have proper ventilation. This is simply a must for warm offices. Another notable benefit of mesh chairs is ergonomics of the mesh material, which is tight enough to support you, and loose enough to give in and to adjust to the weight of your body.

The Missing Feature: The Height Of The Chair Seat

One of the most important, but largely overlooked feature, is the height of the chair seat. The majority of the seats come in high and mid-back height chairs, so there is wide range of chairs to choose from that fit your body. Like all of the other chair styles, you really want to sit down in each ergonomic mesh office chair before deciding on one particular chair. You definitely don't want to purchase a chair that looks good and has all of the ergonomic features in the world but isn't right for your body.

So once you find the right mesh chair for you, you'll begin to experience the ergonomic features that help to reduce chronic neck and back pain you experience through the day. While there are a lot of ergonomic features to choose from, there is a basic set of ergonomic functions your chair should have: 2-to-1 tilt, adjustable armrests, a headrest or head pillow, and a swivel or no-swivel chair base.

Mesh Office Chair Support Mechanisms

So why do most mesh chairs have more advanced ergonomics than other chairs? The special construction and support mechanisms unique to the chair is capable of "molding itself" to your body type/shape. This allows chair to provide the maximum amount of support to key areas on your body, such as your back and neck. It takes out the strain from sitting from prolonged periods of time. Using a mesh office chair also allows your body to regulate its temperature, which allows you work comfortably.

The mesh chairs seat and back may be made of a special mesh air grid. Other models have an air-grid back and a leather seat. There are also other chairs with air-grid backs and leather seats.
