Thirty seven chairs with one idea in common: a breathable mesh back on a task chair mechanism. The range runs from straightforward everyday chairs like the Relay and Palma, through the Portland family in medium, high and all mesh versions, to the Eclipse Plus series in its II, III and Deluxe variants and the Iris with its headrest. Mesh backs suit warm offices and long days, which is most offices and most days. The broader task and operator chairs page covers the fabric backed relatives.
Choosing a mesh task chair
Back height is the first fork in the road. Medium backs like the Zeus, Tutti and Palma support to the shoulder blades and suit most people for most days. High backs like the Portland III and the Iris with its headrest add support for taller users and anyone who leans back to think. The Portland All Mesh goes a step further with a mesh seat as well as a mesh back, making it the coolest running chair on the page.
Then look at the arms, because arms are what people actually complain about. Fixed arms are fine for short stints; height adjustable arms, as on the Ventra and Mirage II, let the elbows sit level with the desk, which quietly fixes half the shoulder gripes in an office. The Fuller's folding arms let it slide fully under a desk in tight rooms. For heavier use there is the Houston, a heavy duty mesh back with its siblings gathered under heavy duty chairs.
If mesh is not the answer
Some people simply prefer an upholstered back, and the wider mesh office chairs and computer chairs pages give you both sides of the argument. For diagnosed back trouble, start with ergonomic posture chairs, and for shift work look at 24 hour chairs. A good chair also earns its keep at a sit-stand desk: you sit better when you sit less.
