That one layer is far sturdier than the covering on a traditional office chair, at least if it’s a budget model and not actual leather. You can also replace the mesh, but if you aren’t using a super expensive model, I think it’s easier to just replace the chair at that point. Anecdotally, I sit on my feet all the time and haven’t had any problems with the mesh tearing.
Don’t complain that you can’t get replacement parts if you’re not ready to pay the price to buy from a manufacturer that will invest to produce the extra parts necessary to offer the service instead of manufacturing just what is necessary to assemble new products.
Offering replacement parts means manufacturing them and storing them, potentially for years, there’s a cost to that and that cost is paid when you purchase the product. Cars would be much cheaper if manufacturers didn’t have to make replacement parts as well!
The extra parts still need to be built and stored in order to offer them, that’s a huge increase in cost because it makes the difference between manufacturing and shipping and manufacturing, storing and shipping. Storage space ain’t free buddy.
I’m guessing they shift around a lot, turning their body the way people turn the controller on a sharp turn.
Probably wearing shoes and sitting on their feet.
They may have a sweaty, moist, even wet rear. Constantly degrading the material. Making it even more susceptible to … friction.
Yeah, and the material on that chair isn’t helping. That’s why I have this ikea chair, which has a mesh back that keeps everything much cooler.
The Markus is the chair goat simply for being far too good for costing basically nothing.
Also I recommend taking the arms off, if even just to try. I did it a while back and it greatly Improved the experience.
Good idea. The arms kinda suck since they’re right at the height my desk is at. Thanks for the tip kind stranger!
FYI the arms being at the same height as the desk is exactly what you want for a good posture ergonomic computer using position.
Then how make chair underdesk not used
My cheap home office chair has adjustable arms and a gas lift, either of those work if you really need to tuck it right under.
Plus a wallet digging in makes this believable enough

I used to have this problem, but switched to mesh chairs a few years ago and it’s completely solved it. (Doesn’t need to be a super expensive one.)

What’s convenient is that we find it obscene to patch the assrest, which would mark the posterior-stressed spot unless executed unusually well.
So we just replace the whole fucking chair, piston, wheels, back, bolts and all.
Makes the chair business go round and round like a kid who just discovered the only remnant of joy mankind allowed to exist in the office.
