Fact Based Aeron Chair Review – World of Victorcraft

31 Mar

The Aeron chair was the first chair to ditch the foam padding in favor of their unique Pellicle woven suspension system which allows the skin to breathe while providing optimal comfort and support. Other mesh office chairs have attempted to replicate Pellicle, but their attempts are mostly inadequate compared to the well over a decade old Aeron. Perhaps the most innovative element of the Aeron is the automatic lower back support which moves with you; this support is known as PostureFit lumbar support. Herman Miller’s patented PostureFit in combination with a truly ergonomic design allows for the user to maintain proper posture even while sitting, something most chairs are not capable of. If you’re looking for the best ergonomic chair ever made, this is quite possible it.

Above is an exert from the review I just wrote and published and my Wetpaint account.  Definitely give it a read if you find yourself curious as to what all of this Aeron commotion is all about.

Aeron Chair Sizes

If you’ve ever wondered which Aeron chair size was right for you (A, B, or C), then you’ll love this little size chart below.  Check it out to determine which size Herman Miller recommends for your height and weight.

Bill Stumpf and Donald Chadwick took into account the fact that not all humans have the same proportions and while you can design a chair to fit the average size of a human being, you wouldn’t be adequately accounting for a large number of potential buyers. This is why the Aeron chair is available in three sizes which allows for the buyer to acquire a close initial fit which can then be further adapted, through the various adjustments, to conform to the user’s body. If you’re not sure which Aeron chair size is right for you, consult the following Aeron chair size chart:

In addition to availability in three sizes, Aeron chairs also come in three unique styles which include the side chair, stool, and more popular work chair. While Aeron side chairs are quite different from the stools and work chairs, the stools are in reality very similar to the work chairs, as they differ only slightly in terms of height and the addition of a footrest ring. Those in search of an ergonomically designed drafting stool should definitely investigate the Aeron stool.

Aeron Chair Review: More Comfortable Than a $60K BMW’s Chair

28 Mar

While I can’t drive for hours in any of my cars without having to pull over at a rest stop in order to stretch my back and shoulders, however, I can sit in my Aeron for what is often countless hours on end without feeling the need to get up and stretch. This is not to say that I don’t regularly take a break from working as that’s what I have been instructed by my physician to do, just simply stating my belief that the roughly $1,000 Aeron chair is more comfortable than my roughly $60,000 bi-turbo BMW.

To add to this: I’ve been comfortably sitting in my Aeron chair today for at least 6 hours thus far and I’ve been enjoying every minute of it.  Perhaps that’s largely in part to the overall comfort that my office environment offers, something that I’ve worked hard to perfect.  Ergonomics in the work place in crucial, but it really doesn’t end there, as it’s just as important everywhere else you allocate considerable amounts of time.  The bedroom is one of the other spaces that I’ve worked hard to perfect as while it’s not my waking hours, I still spend a great deal of time in there.

Stay tuned for frequent updates.  I’m on a roll!
