This post is all about the best mesh chair for your Home Office.

Having a good quality mesh chair for your home office is a great option to curb problems like slouchy posture, sweating and exertion due to sitting for long hours. A mesh chair is a sleek, ergonomic and compact product in your essential items list for your workplace. Whether you are working in a conventional office setup or home office, you need a good quality , comfortable and sturdy office chair. The great advantage of mesh chairs over the fabric/leather ones is that they are not only ventilating and durable, but they are also more aesthetically pleasing. They come in modern space-saving designs. This makes them easy to move around the place and perfect for small office spaces.

For over a decade I used to work in a traditional office setup where I had the most luxurious, executive leather office chair to spend my work hours on. Though it was very plush and comfortable, I could not have thought to buy a similar one while I was setting up my home office. First, these leather chairs are pretty heavy weight and take a lot of space. (While setting up a home office, you need to keep the available space in mind). Second, since I live in a hot and humid region, I wanted my office chair to provide air circulation, for which the luxurious fabric/leather chairs are not suitable. Hence I turned my research towards finding the best mesh chair for my home office.

So after conducting a thorough research, here is a curated list of best mesh chairs for your home office. A quick shout out to the much talked about, every geek’s favorite Herman Miller Aeron Ergonomic Office Chair! While this is a bit of a high end option, no doubt it is the best of the lot. However, the list below contains premium quality products which are cost effective with equally great features.

BEFORE YOU BUY

If you consider these 3 factors before you select any product to purchase, then it will help you make an intelligent decision as a buyer.

Quality : Are the materials used to manufacture the item up to industry standards? Are they also environmentally friendly?

Design : What are your requirements of size, sturdiness, portability and aesthetics of the product?

Cost : Are you looking for a premium quality product which will last longer or you want to buy a low cost product with average quality?

Other important factors to choose the best mesh chair for your home office include: i) adjustability of different components like seat height, seat depth, back rest height, lumbar support, arm rests and head rest as per your frame; ii) tension control of the chair (chairs with swivel provides more comfort to the back); iii) quality of mesh fabric (tightly woven mesh is more gentle to the skin and does not wear down easily); iv) padded seat vs mesh seat. (The mesh seat will be more airy for your bottoms hence suitable for hotter climates, though it can feel uncomfortable because you can feel the seat frame. For a cosy and warm experience, the padded seat is ideal) v) maximum weight support (though most chairs in this category support around 300 pounds, however, if you have a heavier frame then look out for the products catering to your body weight).

LIST OF BEST MESH CHAIRS FOR HOME OFFICE

1. Funria Mid Back Mesh Office Chair

This mesh office chair is very comfortable by its design and easy to assemble. The waterfall seat edge is very good to release stress on the body. The wider seat size is also loved by many users. The S-shaped backrest fits the curve of spine that reduces back pressure and enhances comfort. Also, the mesh quality is great which provides users a cool airy experience. It has adjustable height and the arm rests are also adjustable; thus allowing the up and down movement of arm rests. This is a great product for a slim as well as heavy person as it supports weight of up to 300 lbs. Some users find the adjustable armrest option a bit bugging as arms can only go all the way up or down, there is no middle point.

2. Sadie Big and Tall Office Computer Chair

As the name suggests, this chair is made for heavy and big sized individuals as it supports 400 lbs weight limit. It has a wide seat which is suitable for heavier bottoms and it is a really sturdy built. The chair has a good recline, tilts a little bit (not all the way down). The arm rests are adjustable for height as well as width. The only downside of this chair is that the casters are not of good quality, so it becomes a hassle to move it around the place, as complained by many users. All in all, this is a heavy duty office chair with super comfy seat cushion and mesh back to provide comfortable sitting throughout the day.

3. Hbada Office Task Desk Chair

If you are looking for a chair with smooth and silenced casters that swiftly moves on different surfaces like carpets and floors alike, then this compact and stylish chair with great casters is an ideal option for you. The light weight built of this chair and arm rests that can be flipped up (as shown in the picture above) makes it perfect for storage in smaller spaces like home office. Its height can be adjusted easily to very low or very high level and it has a 120° tilt tension. The only disadvantage that some users felt was its all plastic, non padded arm rests. (I personally don’t think is much of an issue since they are movable and provide a good functionality otherwise). Overall, this is a great posh looking, affordable chair for average built people that comes with comfortable sitting and high density mesh back design.

4. HON HON2281VA10T Lota Office Chair

Usually most office chairs come with a few years warranty but this product comes with a life time warranty! It has great construction with heavy metals – doesn’t feel cheap at all. The chair has a sleek and modern design, with easy to assemble parts. With a geometric mash design, the back position is quite upright (you can also lock the back in an upright position). It has an intuitive weight-activated recline which makes it recline for about 45 degrees. The seats are very firm, which some may not like if they prefer the softer option. The users of this chair are all impressed with the excellent customer support from the company. All in all, this chair is a nice upgrade to the budget options as you are getting a premium quality product without having to spend thousands of bucks.

5. SPACE Seating Breathable Mesh Seat and Back

This chair is loaded with innovative ergonomic features such as optional headrest, Synchro-tilt of chair and Concave armrests (that provide better comfort than flat armrests). It has mesh seat and mesh back (comes with an eco-leather seat option as well) which makes it extremely comfortable to sit on for extended work hours. The adjustable lumbar support and one touch pneumatic seat height adjustment adds to the list of useful features. It is extremely durable and long lasting, a great number of users claim that they are using this product for more than 7 years! The only drawback of this product is that some users complained that the arm rests are not as durable as overall chair but even then they last a good time of more than 2 years on average. Hence it is safe to say that this is a high quality product which is worth the price.

CONCLUSION

The above list presents some great options to look for when buying a mesh chair for your home office. These products are equally suitable for traditional office setups as well as home offices. While selecting a product for purchasing, be sure to read the product details and check if they fulfil your requirements.
