No, not every fabric in the world will work for an office chair. But there are obvious ones like tulle, silk, and other delicate materials that won’t contour with the chair effectively. Fabrics like those are a definite no, but in general, you should opt for a thick, durable fabric that will not tear with moderate use. Essentially you want to find a fabric that will hold up better than the previous one did. Or you’ll end up having to reupholster more frequently.
