Mesh office chairs
Mesh has become the default for modern offices, and for good reason: it breathes, it is light to move, and it does not date the way patterned fabric does.
Where it makes the most difference
South-facing rooms, offices above ground floor level, and anywhere the heating runs hard in winter. If people complain about being too warm at their desks, the chair back is a bigger contributor than most realise.
Buying for a team
Order one first and live with it for a week before committing. Mesh varies more between models than fabric does, and the difference between a supportive back and a hard frame edge is not visible in a photograph.
For cooler rooms or a softer feel, see fabric office chairs.
Ranges we stock
Portland, Eclipse and Crew cover most of this category. For a full-day desk specification look at mesh task chairs, and for cooler rooms compare against fabric office chairs.
