The motivation to make this transition from hard to soft mesh office chair design resulted from careful industry research into the impact of comfort on workplace productivity. Many people think of ergonomics as pertaining more to human health than human comfort, but this is not the case. Comfort is not a luxury in the workplace–it is actually a necessity. Uncomfortable employees tend to fidget in their chairs, stand up repeatedly to alleviate discomfort, and develop negative attitudes toward their workstations over a period of prolonged discomfort. Women in particular feel incredible discomfort when they wear shirts or blouses made from thin material and lean back in a hard mesh chair. Not only does the soft mesh not leave marks on their back when they lean back in their seats; it is also easier on clothing itself. A stylish top will appear less ruffled when a lady stands up after sitting in her seat for several hours.
