AF509 Affirm Mesh High-Back Task Chair with Headrest
The Office Master AF509 is the AF508 with a mesh headrest added, the top of the Affirm mesh range, and the model to specify when someone genuinely reclines during the day rather than sitting upright at a keyboard the whole time.
A headrest is worth having if the chair gets used for reading, calls, video meetings or thinking time, where people naturally lean back and the neck otherwise has nothing to rest against. If the user is heads-down at a screen all day and never reclines, the AF508 is the more sensible buy, a headrest they never touch is just cost.
Everything below the headrest is the same well-judged package: a tall "frameless" mesh back supporting through the shoulder blades, a wide 20.5" seat with an extra waterfall front edge, and the Simple Synchro mechanism with a weight tension knob.
