Breathable Mesh vs. PU Leather: Which Computer Chair in Singapore is Best for Our Climate?

Hot and humid weather in Singapore means that the right office chair is important in terms of comfort. The material with which your chair is manufactured determines how comfortable you are during long hours at work. Breathable mesh and PU leather are two options, each with its own pros and cons.

The comfort and productivity that you will experience when sitting at your desk will depend on the chair you sit on. As a large population works at home offices, choosing the right seat is important. At Tableholic, we know that Singapore climate requires special considerations, thus we provide ergonomic chairs that have local after-sales support and affordable prices. We are also particularly eager to present our two key mesh offerings: the value-oriented INFINITY and our new flagship, the EVOLUTION X, which redefines ergonomic support across both the value and premium segments in the tropical environment.

Breathability and Temperature Control

The mesh chairs must be utilised to enable air to flow through them to keep you cool in the tropical climate of Singapore. The open weave structure eliminates heat accumulation and sweating during prolonged sitting periods. Both our INFINITY and the EVOLUTION X leverage this essential mesh feature.

PU leather looks sleek but traps heat against your body. In Singapore’s humidity, this can become uncomfortable quickly. Your back and thighs can feel sticky after just an hour of sitting. Mesh office chair designs clearly win for temperature comfort in our weather.

Here at Tableholic, we serve the needs of the Singapore climate through breathable seating plans, which will maximise the comfort of your workspace area all year round.

Durability and Maintenance

PU leather is simple to wipe and professional-looking. It is not easily spilt or stained as compared to most fabrics. Nevertheless, under humid climatic conditions, PU leather is likely to crack and peel more quickly than when it is in a dry climatic environment. The product decomposes faster when subjected to constant heat and moisture.

Mesh is more durable in tropical weather and doesn’t degrade from humidity. It’s also easier to maintain – just vacuum occasionally to remove dust. Quality mesh like the type used in our INFINITY and EVOLUTION X models maintains its shape and support for years. While both materials last well, mesh handles Singapore’s climate better long-term.

Tableholic uses Korean Wintex mesh designed to withstand the test of time with proper care and maintenance.

Ergonomic Support Features

Regardless of the material, the ergonomic chair must have good lumbar support. Mesh chairs and PU leather chairs could be adjusted by other aspects such as armrest height, tilt of the seat, and the backrest inclination. The features assist in sustaining proper posture at work.

Mesh chairs can be fitted with inbuilt lumbar support that moves with you. The contents automatically shape themselves to your back. PU leather seats are usually cushioned with a layer of foam cushion, and may collapse with heat and humidity.

While our INFINITY chair offers robust, essential ergonomic support for everyday use, for the ultimate in customisable comfort, our new EVOLUTION X model sets a new industry standard. It has an Adaptive 3D Lumbar Support system and a 4D headrest to achieve optimum spinal alignment, and most importantly, the new 9D armrest system. This unparalleled amount of customisation enables you to adjust the height, depth, pivot and angle of the armrest in nine unique ways such that it fits perfectly with any desk setup or stance.

The EVOLUTION X is currently the only chair in Singapore featuring a fully adjustable 9D armrest, and Tableholic is its exclusive provider. It also utilises the soft, breathable, and durable Korean Wintex mesh, offering superior support and all-day cooling, complemented by a Wired Mechanism with Forward Tilt function for advanced posture control.

Our ergonomic designs are comfortable and productive, and have features that contribute to healthy sitting habits at your home office or workspace.

Price and Value Comparison

PU leather chairs often cost less initially and appear more executive. They give a premium appearance that some prefer for professional settings. However, replacement costs add up when the material starts cracking in Singapore’s weather.

Our INFINITY mesh chair offers exceptional value, providing the benefits of mesh breathability at a price point comparable to many PU leather executive chairs.

Mesh chairs might be more expensive in the short run, but more advantageous in the long run in tropical environments. For instance, the premium EVOLUTION X represents a significant, long-term investment that keeps you comfortable during its lifetime. The initial investment pays off over time with fewer replacements needed.

At Tableholic, we offer attractive prices on quality seating without compromising on features or durability, backed by our motor lifetime warranty for peace of mind.

Aesthetics and Office Style

PU leather chairs suit traditional office aesthetics with their smooth, professional look. They come in various colours and match formal desk setups well. The material used has a classic, executive look that is attractive to many.

Mesh chairs are more tech-oriented and modern. The INFINITY provides a streamlined, minimalist look perfect for any home office, while the EVOLUTION X appears lighter and less bulky, and this is workable in modern workstations.

The open design makes rooms feel less crowded. Both styles can enhance your office look depending on your preference.

Final Thoughts

The decision on whether to use mesh or PU leather is a matter of priorities. Mesh chairs are more favourable in terms of breathability and durability in the climate of Singapore. They make you comfortable when working long hours and take longer before they wear out in a humid environment.

The budget, aesthetics and daily sitting duration should be considered. If value and core comfort are your priorities, the INFINITY is a perfect starting point. If you require ultimate customization and premium features, the EVOLUTION X is the clear winner.

Sitting on the test chairs will assist you in choosing the most comfortable one. At Tableholic, we believe in assisting you in building a comfortable and productive working environment using sustainable choices and professional advice.
