I live in a region with hot summers, and my current chair gets uncomfortable and sticky after a while. Mesh-back chairs are marketed as being breathable, but do they actually stay cooler during long study sessions? Are there any drawbacks, like less support or durability, compared to cushioned backs? If you’ve used a mesh-back  chair, I’d appreciate knowing how it held up over time and if the ventilation made a big difference for comfort. Also, how important is the overall design and build quality when choosing between mesh and padded chairs?

Living in a warm climate makes long study sessions a challenge, especially when my current chair causes excessive sweating. I’ve come across mesh-back study chairs that promise better airflow and breathability, but I wonder if they are comfortable enough for extended use. Do they offer sufficient support for the back, or do they compromise on cushioning and durability? If you’ve tried both mesh-back and padded-back chairs, I’d appreciate your perspective on which one strikes the right balance between ventilation and lumbar support. Also, how well do mesh chairs hold up over time in terms of wear and tear?
