What material are executive chair armrests typically made from?

Executive chair armrests come in several materials: (1) PU foam-padded armrests — soft, cushioned, very comfortable for all-day elbow support. (2) Leather-wrapped armrests — found on premium chairs, looks elegant and matches the seat upholstery. (3) Hard plastic armrests — durable but less comfortable for extended resting; more common on mid-range models. (4) Gel-padded armrests — a premium option with excellent comfort for long sessions. The armrest tops should be wide enough (at least 3"–4" wide) to provide real support rather than just a narrow rail. For all-day executive chair use, padded or leather-wrapped armrests make a noticeable comfort difference. FindOfficeFurniture.com — call 888-719-4960 for armrest options.
