What is the practical difference between a mesh back and leather back office chair?

Mesh backs breathe, distributing air throughout the sitting surface and keeping you cool during long sessions — a significant advantage in warm environments or for users who run hot. Leather backs retain heat and humidity against the user's back, leading to discomfort after 2–3 hours in warm conditions. However, leather back chairs have a more premium visual appearance for executive environments. Mid-back leather chairs are fine for shorter office sessions; for 8-hour task chair use, mesh is almost always more comfortable. FindOfficeFurniture.com has both options — call 888-719-4960.
