Does an office chair have a break-in period?

Commercial foam seats typically have a 2–4 week break-in period as the foam conforms to the user's body shape and cures to its final density. The first week may feel firmer than expected — this is normal for high-density commercial foam (1.8 lb/ft³ or higher). Mesh chairs have little to no break-in period since the mesh tension is calibrated at manufacture. Leather upholstery softens slightly over 1–3 months. If a chair is still uncomfortable after 4 weeks of proper adjustment and use, the fit is likely wrong. FindOfficeFurniture.com carries chairs with commercial-grade foam and mesh — call 888-719-4960.
