3. Ergohuman Chair (Best Ergonomics)
While reviewing chairs dime-a-dozen, in our quest to find the best mesh chair with headrest, we came to a realization that often these chairs fail when they try to execute an outlandish feature in an attempt to stand out from the crowd. And that got us thinking, what if we shift our focus to chairs which do not experiment too much but merely copy from the best. Although, not the most honourable pursuit but it does eliminate any chances of poorly executed features. If the imitation is executed as well as the original, one can get a great deal for a comparatively lesser price.
The Ergonomic office chair by Ample Seatings furniture stands out for this very reason. This mesh chair with headrest may be the replica of the famous series of chairs popular in the west by the brand ErgoHuman. However, that is what makes it stand out.
The Ergohuman Chair by Ample Seatings, correctly copies from the best and can deliver a close to similar promise in lumbar support. After reviewing numerous chairs, we found the ergonomics of this mesh chair with headrest, to have the best lumbar support. But the very reasons which give this chair its competitive edge over others also give rise to a couple of issues in our assessment. Notably, this mesh chair with headrest is an imported product. Therefore, there is a steep markup in its price, making it the most expensive chair on our list. Also, since most chairs do not come pre-assembled, if an assembly part is missing, it can be a substantial issue after spending as much money on this chair. Even if the Indian importer agrees to arrange a spare part for you, it can take days to arrive.
Some of the features of the chair that we really liked were, Multi position headrest height adjustable with angle tilt feature for optimum head to neck support. Upward and Downward 3 point adjustment in backrest to acquire the required back posture for varying individuals body. And also, attached Lumbar support to backrest having a mechanical function providing cushion to the lower back which has a medicinal use avoiding intervertebral disk disease caused due to long working hours .
- Excellent Lumbar support
- Material used for construction is of premium quality
- Light weight chair with extra maneuverability
- Modern look, gels well with the home decor
- 2 inch thick padded seat provides comfort even when used for long duration
- Replica of ErgoHuman Chairs
- Imported product and hence extremely expensive
- Since the chair is imported any issues found post purchase can be difficult to resolve
2. Ergonomic Home-Office Chair (includes Leg Support)
This Ergonomic office chair from unDesk could have easily been our most favorite mesh chair with headrest especially as it includes leg rests too, but for only one reason it finishes up as a runner-up instead. Let us elaborate on why it was able to come in so close to the top contender. The unDesk chair leaves no room for even a minor doubt. Especially, In terms of construction quality and visual appeal. We were impressed with their choice of color which is a beautiful white version.
This was a good break from the regular run-of-the-mill black options that most office and work from home chairs provide. Now there can be two ways to look at it if you consider yourself a sloth and can never imagine yourself running a duster over the chair then the White colour can be a problem. However, for most people, the visual aesthetics are well worth running a damp cloth over the chair once a week to keep it clean and tidy.
The chair has excellent mid and lower back support amongst the best in the chairs we reviewed. It comes with the most amount of adjustment capabilities. At first glance, we felt the need for a user manual, which was missing. We could have benefited from it to figure out which lever to use to adjust a particular feature. But of course, all it took was one good spin to figure all of them levers out.
This mesh chair with a headrest advertises capacity to support weights up to 120 kilograms. And this is where we found room for minor improvements. One of our review team members who weigh more than 100 kgs expressed minor concerns about the seating mesh loosening up when used in the long run. Their apprehension may have arisen due to a slight give observed when the chair was used more than 6-7 hours a day potentially due to his slightly heavier body weight compared to an average user.
However, we must highlight that the mesh did not come loose in the limited time we reviewed the chair. The final verdict whether the mesh would come loose or not, can only be determined after using the chair for an extended period, easily in the 2-3 year range. Hence we plan to come back and update the review as we see nt. But as the saying goes, nothing in life is perfect. We hope the next iteration of the chair comes with better seat upholstery, probably a little more cushion. If the mesh around it is woven a little tauter, it would make this chair our number one recommendation. However, for now – it comes in a close second.
- Excellent Mid and lower back support
- Seat depth adjustment allows extra customization
- Tilt tension adjustment ability is a great add-on
- Looks amazing, the white color stands out in comparison to all the other black chairs
- Mesh headrest does a good hob of keeping you cool
- The seat can benefit from a little more padding (read the above review for full context)
- White color can be an issue from maintenance perspective in the long run (we are nit-picking at this point)
1. High Back Mesh Chair with Headrest from MISURAA
OKAY, let us answer the obvious question first. What made the Misuraa High Back the best mesh chair with a headrest, in our opinion? Well, there are multiple reasons. Not only did the chair perform well above our anticipation in almost all our performance metrics. But it also surpassed our expectations by quite a mile on a couple of features. Here’s the low-down!
We loved the placement and size of its headrest. Even if the chair had not performed as well on the other parameters as it did, it would have still managed to steal our heart, thanks to its exceptional execution of the headrest. A headrest is quite often a hit-or-miss feature. Not all mesh chairs with headrests can satisfy varying customer profiles of different body shapes and weights.
However, the Misuraa High Back chair comes close to perfection in its execution of the headrest. The fact that there is no gap between the body of the chair and the headrest is the unique reason behind what makes it so aptly perfect.
In summation, the reason why the Misuraa High back is our choice for the best mesh chair with headrest is not just because of the availability of wide range of features (which most chairs in this price range do) but for the execution of those features.
If you are somebody who spends long hours by your work desk and needs a worthy companion in the form of an ergonomic high back chair you shouldn’t think over twice for choosing the Misuraa High back. The fabulous execution of the headrest ensures that it be a worthy mate for you during those long bouts of procrastination we slumber into every now and then, in an attempt to beat the rub of the 9-to-5.
