Herman Miller Aeron Chair

The Herman Miller Aeron Chair is an ergonomic task chair designed by Bill Stumpf and Don Chadwick for commercial workplaces. Its seat and back use 8Z Pellicle suspension, with eight zones of differing tension that support the body while allowing air, heat and water vapour to pass through the material.

Aeron comes in three sizes, A, B and C, so a project specification can account for a varied workforce rather than relying on one chair size. The chair can be configured with no added back support, PostureFit, adjustable lumbar support or adjustable PostureFit SL. PostureFit SL uses separate pads for the sacral and lumbar areas. Tilt choices include standard tilt, a tilt limiter or a tilt limiter with forward seat angle. Arm options range from no arms and fixed arms to height-adjustable or fully adjustable versions.

The 2026 UK product sheet lists six colours: Onyx, Graphite, Carbon, Mineral, Nightfall and Jasper. Herman Miller also states that Aeron contains more than 50% recycled material, including ocean-bound plastic. Exact controls, finishes and dimensions depend on the chosen configuration.

For a project quotation, tell one of our experienced project consultants the quantity, user mix, desk type, preferred finish and delivery location.

How to specify the Aeron Chair

Choose the right Aeron size

Aeron comes in sizes A, B and C. The seat depth is 417 mm for size A, 432 mm for size B and 480 mm for size C. Herman Miller states maximum user weights of 136 kg, 159 kg and 181 kg respectively. Use both body dimensions and the manufacturer’s size guidance when selecting chairs for named users or a mixed team.

Select the back support

The chair can be specified without extra support or with PostureFit, adjustable lumbar support or adjustable PostureFit SL. PostureFit SL supports the sacral and lumbar areas. The right choice depends on the user assessment and how the chair will be used.

Decide how the chair should move

Tilt choices include standard tilt, a tilt limiter, or a tilt limiter with forward seat angle. Harmonic 2 Tilt is designed to let the chair move with the sitter. For shared workstations, agree which controls different users need to adjust between shifts.

Choose the arm configuration

Aeron can be specified without arms, or with fixed, height-adjustable or fully adjustable arms. Some configurations add arm-pad depth adjustment. Check desk height, clearances and the work being carried out before choosing.

Confirm colours and materials

The 2026 UK product sheet lists Onyx, Graphite, Carbon, Mineral, Nightfall and Jasper, with frame and base choices that vary by configuration. Aeron contains more than 50% recycled material, including ocean-bound plastic. Final finish and material choices should be checked against the project specification.
