PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve sitting feeling by making a step in a border between an area for firmly supporting a seating person, and an area for softly supporting hardly feel while retaining strength/weakness of supporting between both areas, and lessening discomfort of touch when seating, and increase a degree of freedom of design.SOLUTION: A chair includes a body support part configured of a support frame having at least two opposite sides, for instance, a back frame 7, and a mesh covering fabric 1 covered between the back frame 7. The mesh covering fabric 1 has at least two areas of a high stretchable area 2 and a low stretchable area 3 harder to stretch than the high stretchable area by partially changing a knitting method or a weaving method in the middle and switching a knitted texture or a weaved texture, and a border 6 between both areas 2 and 3 is nonlinearly formed. 【課題】着座者をしっかりと支持したい領域と柔らかく支持したい領域と間のサポートの強弱を維持しつつ、両領域の境界での段差を感じ難くして着座時の当たりの違和感を少なくし、座り心地を良くする。また、デザインの自由度を高める。【解決手段】少なくとも相対向する２辺を有する支持フレーム例えば背フレーム７と、該背フレーム７の間に張られるメッシュ張地１とで構成される身体支持部を備える椅子において、メッシュ張地１は編み方あるいは織り方を途中で部分的に変更して編み組織あるいは織り組織を切り替えることにより高伸縮領域２とこれよりも伸び難い低伸縮領域３との少なくとも２つの領域を有し、両領域２，３の境界６を非直線的に形成するようにしている。【選択図】図１
