I have a query about the use of ventilation holes in custom seating.
I've had a couple of requests recently for putting in ventilation holes into seat shells to provide ventilation to reduce clients sweating whilst sitting in their chairs all day.
I can understand the theory but does anyone know whether there is any research out there that confirms (or denys) that putting in these holes actually works? Interested to hear from anyone that has used them in foam carve/MSI.
Thanks
