The famous Aeron Chair from Herman Miller is one of the top selling office chairs in the industry nowadays, thanks to its wonderfully and highly beneficial ergonomic design. But aside from the fact that its design is definitely a great motivator for its buyers, the chair becomes even more preferable for more people because it comes in two packages that can fit the different needs of more people. These two types of the packages are the basic and the highly adjustable.
The Basic Aeron Chair is well the basic package, as opposed to the Highly Adjustable that has a lot of other additional features. But even as a basic package, the Basic package is still definitely a great deal and is actually even better than most other supposedly fully packed packages from other companies. In fact, an ergonomic chair cannot provide better support than the Basic Aeron, save for the Highly Adjustable. The Basic Aeron Chair, however, is a great option for people who are trying to save on the price but not on the quality. With a suggested retail price of just $749, the Basic Aeron features a pneumatically adjustable system for easy height adjustment and the special Kinemat Knee-Tilt Mechanism. The Kinemat Tilt Mechanism is a patented technology of Herman Miller that allows users to pivot with ease and with the knees, ankles, and hips perfectly comfortable. It also features a Tilt-Tension Adjustment, which users can use to adjust the resistant of the tilt when they lean forward or backward. The Basic Chair’s armrests, however, are fixed. You also have the option to avail of the vertically adjustable lumbar pillow that provides support for the lower back area. This highly ergonomic chair is both affordable and largely beneficial.
But if you want a better office chair that provides more comfort and support, you can go for the Highly Adjustable. This is a bit more expensive than the Basic package, but for the slight increase in price, you get many different features in exchange. At $949, the Highly Adjustable comes with all the features that can be found in the Basic package such as the Pneumatic Lift mechanism, the Kinemat Tilt, and the Tilt-Tension Adjustment. However, it comes with more options. The Highly Adjustable stays true to its name because of its adjustable armrests. The armrests can pivot inwardly and outwardly and can also be adjusted vertically. The chair also comes with the Tilt Limiter, which controls the range of the chair’s forward and backward tilt. It can also be tilted forward, which is a great option for users who use the chair for computer work. The Forward Tilt motion can tilt the chair 5 degrees forward. But the best feature of the Highly Adjustable chair is the PostureFit Lumbar Support, a special and well-recognized support system that is almost synonymous with the Aeron Chair name. The PostureFit system is a mechanism shaped like a wishbone that follows the natural curve of the lower spine to provide support for the empty space between the chair and the user’s back.
All in all, both the Basic and Highly Adjustable Aeron Chairs are extremely great office chairs that can provide optimal ergonomic support for office workers.
