Do You Sweat On Normal Chairs?
on December 7, 2013
Posted by: Paula K.
I was tired of sweating on a vinyl faux leather chair (even with the AC on as vinyl and leather doesn't breathe) I decided it was time to try a mesh chair. Felt a little strange at first but also noticed the pain in my lower back went away when I was sitting in it. Fresh out of the box it did feel very hard and rough and almost thought about taking it back as it feels very different at first than a traditional chair but it only took a couple of days for the mesh to loosen up and it feels very comfortable now. No more sweating best breathability of any type of chairs and I'm surprised I wound up liking the comfort so much (better than expected). If you buy this chair and it feels a little hard at first make sure to give it a few days of good use (I would say at least 24hrs of use to break in). It gets much more comfortable after break in.
I like the design. I like the functions. I can sit in it all day. It has needed the screws to be tightened already 2 times after 2 weeks of daily use. Arms ar a little "wobbly" but all works well. I hesitate to really "crank" on the screws to tighten them too snug as my experience in the past has been unfavorable to the chairs of my past. Overall it is nice. The head rest a lumbar support is great for those confined to desks & talking on the phone for extended periods of time.
I had back surgery and my other chair at work wasn't cutting it. I went to my local Staples and sat in every chair on the floor this was my Favorite that my company wasn't going to give an arm and leg for. It took me a couple weeks to get use to the chair but I love it! It reclines great and sits all the way up and locks into place and when I say all the way up i mean all the way up! And that's what I needed due to surgery. I do have to put a memory foam seat pad in the seat from time to time. Only complaints are it came in almost two weeks late than the ETA and then it was broken had to get another one delivered took another week. Other than that I would love to get one to keep at home. LOVE THIS CHAIR!!!!!
This is a small chair. I am 5'10" and had to take the head rest off as it was hitting me in the top of the shoulders even when tilted at its highest angle. This chair is narrow even with the arms assembled at their widest point. I constantly snag my holstered cellphone on the arm when I sit down and I am NOT a big person. I also wish the seat extended to the backs of the knees further than it does.
Used to Herman Millers but couldn't afford one this time around. Needed something for 8+ hours of use a day that wouldn't be too hot here in Phoenix during the summer. It's comfortable and does have good adjustments. Only gripes - the head rest doesn't have vertical adjustment so if you're taller than 5'11" your shoulders may rub the bottom of the headrest. Other minor annoyance is the back material will "grab" or cling on your clothes causing shirts to rise up in the back.
I work at home sitting at my computer for hours every day. Now I realize how bad my previous "ergonomic" chair was. I'm having to overcome bad habits I developed in order to compensate for that. My body is finally relaxing.
This chair was comparable to the ones I had ordered for our Conference Room Crusher Operator Shack Hoist Houses and was meant to be used constantly. Good.
