Factors to Consider for the Perfect Benithem Chair

Benithem carries many different types of task chairs, each featuring a design unique to its branding. The choices are plenty, but which one would suit your needs? Maybe this article can help you.




Before getting into flipping through the multiple chair choices available, you must first question yourself the requirements you wish to fulfil with this chair. Who is it for? Where would it be, indoors or outdoors? Is the surroundings hot? What is it used for? How many pieces would you want to get? What features must the chair have? Such questions can get the ball rolling and help you figure out the what is crucial in the decision making process. Getting what meets your requirements will ultimately be the best chair for you.


Once the requirements have all been listed out, it is time to look at the chairs. Benithem offers 3 different category of chairs: Mesh, Fabric and Leather. These 3 categories differ greatly in the experience it gives, so taking note of them can help you make the decision.

Mesh chairs are chairs that have a thin piece of mesh that is stretched and fixed onto the frame of the chair's backrest. One of the biggest benefits of mesh chairs is the ventilation capability, as the mesh backrest has tiny holes that can circulate airflow into the body, keeping the user cool and comfortable. For offices or room settings that are within a stuffy and hot environment, mesh chairs will be a suitable choice. Other benefits mesh chair also has are the ergonomic back support, low maintenance, the large selection of chair designs compared to other chair types and more, but it also has its weakness. As weight is continuously placed on the mesh backrest, the mesh will loosen and sag after long usage. If this happens, for safety and health a replacement is necessary. However, if you were to get the ZOOM Mesh Chair from Benithem, which uses the same durable mesh that parachutes has, this is something you would not need to worry about.

Fabric chairs are identified by their upholstered cushion backrest, giving impressions that sitting on it would be very comfortable, which is indeed true. The biggest benefit of fabric chair is in the cushion support, where there will be lumbar support that helps support the whole back, improve the seating posture or additional cushioning in certain areas for more comfort. Compared to other types of chairs, the color selections for fabric chairs are massive. You can pick your preferred color, texture, material, pattern and try out different fabric combinations, the limit is the world and your budget. 


However, this increased comfort comes at the price of bad heat transfers due to the thicker material, meaning that on hot days the user will feel hot and stuffy when on the chair. Maintenance will also be a hassle, as overtime sweat and debris will get collected on the chair, accidental rips or scratches on the fabric would mean you would require re-upholstery services in the future. The foam in the chair will also wear down after long usage, sinking inwards and flattening down, looking terrible to the eye and won't feel good when sat on. To curb this worry, try to get a chair that used injected foam, like Benithem chairs', which are specially made to maintain its shape for a long time. All in all, fabric chairs look and feels amazing, but maintenance and environment may be an issue that needs looking into.

Lastly, Leather chairs. When people talk about leather chairs, the image of a classy black high back leather chair in a top-grade office comes to mind. Leather chairs are definitely the popular choice for rooms of importance and conference rooms, because they give such a strong and stylish impression that tells peers no one's there to fool around. This premium material also shows strength in how smooth and soft it is to the touch, and the benefit of easy cleaning, as a simple wipe with a cloth would be enough. Leather material is also known to be durable, so leather chairs can definitely last for a very long time. 


But with such a premium material, leather chairs is much pricier than a mesh or fabric chair. And since leather chairs are made with animal leather, vegans and vegetarians would also not find this material comfortable to them. Hot weather would be another issue, as the leather would heat up and make the surface of the chair sticky, making it not enjoyable during high temperatures. The color selection of leather is also very limited compared to other materials, as leather mostly only comes in black, brown and neutral tones. While this means they would fit perfectly in classy settings, it would not fit so well in more casual environments.


Here are some identification factors for you to consider and decide. While this is just a short summary and there are more that can be discussed, perhaps this would be enough to narrow down on what kind of chair you want and in the end make a decision.

In the previous blog we have talked about the 3 materials used as the covering for Benithem chairs, which are some of the most common types in the market. In this blog however, we will talk about one more category of material which is the most unique one amongst all, Vegan Leather. The name Vegan Leather makes people do a double take, because normally these 2 words will not be placed together due to their different nature. The word 'Vegan' is taken from the term Veganism, which is the practice of abstaining from the usage of animal products, such as in diet or in everyday goods. 'Leather' however is often used to refer to the material made from the skin of an animal. As these 2 words contrast heavily, people will not used them together. The idea of leather that is vegan also brings mockery, as there is no way something like this could be produced. But in reality, it is completely possible. Vegan Leather is a material made out of either 100% organic or artificial materia...
