Aeron - the good posture chair

Few chairs actually encourage good posture, in fact many office chairs achieve the opposite by forcing the user to lean too far forward or back. Cheryl Resnik, director of physical therapy at USC University blames poorly fitted chairs as one of the most commons causes of a painful back and neck strain. Poor posture chairs also contribute to leg, arm and shoulder problems. The Aeron’s ergonomic design is different and actually encourages a good seated position. Often described as ‘the most comfortable chair in the world’ it is undoubtedly a ‘good posture’ chair.

As one recent reviewer described:
“the chair actually forces you to have good posture when you’re sitting in it – it’s a subconscious thing, but then you’ll catch yourself doing it – pretty amazing really”

The Aeron allows flexibility in the upper back for reach and movement and in the lumbar area for fit whilst keeping the pelvis stable. It is fully adjustable so that you can maximise its function as a good posture chair. Cheryl Resnik specifically advises those wanting to achieve good posture to ensure that their chair is at the right height. It should not be so low to the ground that your legs are dangling which restricts circulation but high enough so that you can rest your hands comfortably on a key board with the elbows bent at a 90 degree angle.
