If you’ve never encountered a mesh chair, you might imagine the mesh with a variety of qualities—from the ultra-soft and stretchy mesh of athletic clothing to a more rigid screen-like mesh. The reality falls somewhere between the two.
Chair mesh is springy to a firm touch. As you sit on it, the mesh adjusts to the contours of your body, providing support without so many lever and knob adjustments as traditional ergonomic chairs.

Do keep in mind that the addition of padding or cushioning underneath the mesh may reduce a chair’s overall breathability.
