What is the difference between mesh and vinyl upholstery on a drafting stool?

Mesh upholstery provides passive air circulation, making it cooler for extended sitting — beneficial in warm environments or for users who tend to run warm. Vinyl (polyurethane or genuine vinyl) is easier to wipe clean, more durable against staining and chemical exposure, and preferred in lab, medical, or food-service settings. Mesh wears faster in high-abrasion applications. For a standard office drafting environment, mesh is the more comfortable long-term choice.
