Most of us have heard of the Aeron chair, but what is it that makes it so special? The key features and benefits of the ergonomic design of the Aeron chair are given below:
| Feature | Benefit |
| Pellicle Design | |
|
Instead of foam cushions that may impose improper contours,
the Aeron chair uses the Pellicle suspension. The pellicle design provides a chair that "breathes" |
This unique mesh conforms to the shape of the person who
sits in it to minimise discomfort from surface pressure. Your skin temperature increases up to 12 degrees Fahrenheit (6.7 degrees centigrade) when you sit for 30 minutes in a traditional foam-and-fabric chair. With the Aeron chair, air flows through the Pellicle to prevent heat build-up and allow moisture to dissipate. |
| Tilt Mechanism | |
| The design of the Aeron chair bypasses current mechanical models in favour of tilt geometry based on human body linkages. | Thanks to the patented Kinemat tilt, you can recline or move to a forward posture without having to think about it. You simply move naturally and the tilt responds. You stay balanced and in control. Combined with the Aeron chair's adjustability, the tilt gives healthful, comfortable support for a full range of postures, for all kinds of work- keyboarding, reading, meeting, phoning or contemplating the stylish design of your Aeron chair. |
| PostureFit | |
| Until the patented PostureFit was developed for the Aeron chair, there was one key part of every sitter's body that no chair could support; the lower back, below the belt. PostureFit provides that critical support no matter what your seated position. | A healthy posture - when the spine is properly aligned - promotes greater overall comfort, including improved concentration and endurance through long hours of seated task work. |
| Armrests | |
| The Aeron features height adjustable and pivoting arms which provide customised support for each individual user and task. | You need a range of heights and pivot spans depending on what task you are performing or your size. When keyboarding, you are more inclined to get as close as possible to the desk but can be impeded if the arms are not low enough. The arms of an Aeron chair pivot independently inward 17.5 degrees for keying and outwards 15 degrees for mousing to provide comfortable positioning in carrying out different tasks. Armrests move with the backrests to support the arms as they drop back in their natural rotation at the shoulder joint. |
| Pneumatic lift | |
| The Aeron chairhas a two-stage gas lift height adjustment, which allows it to go higher and lower than most chairs. | The gas lift allows height optimisation and means the Aeron chair will be suitable no matter the task at hand. |
