Should I choose a mesh back or foam back for an ergonomic chair?

Mesh backs are the dominant choice in modern ergonomic chairs — they breathe freely, conform naturally to the back as you shift, distribute pressure evenly, and do not retain heat. High-quality elastomeric mesh provides both support and conformance. Foam backs offer a firmer, more defined feel but retain heat and do not conform dynamically. For all-day seating or warm environments, mesh is almost always the better choice.
