help Herman Miller Aeron (Mesh) FAQ

What are the size differences in the Herman Miller Aeron chair?

The Aeron chair comes in three distinct sizes: Size A (small), Size B (medium), and Size C (large). Choosing the right size is critical for the Pellicle mesh to properly distribute your weight and provide maximum airflow.

What is the Pellicle suspension material on the Aeron?

The Herman Miller Aeron uses a proprietary woven mesh called Pellicle, which replaced traditional foam cushions completely. This highly durable material allows heat to pass through the chair, keeping the user cool while preventing seat-pan compression over time.

Does the Herman Miller Aeron have adjustable armrests?

Yes, fully loaded Aeron chairs feature highly adjustable armrests that move up and down, as well as pivot inward and outward. This allows users to perfectly align their elbows while typing, preventing shoulder and neck strain.

What is the difference between PostureFit SL and standard lumbar support on the Aeron?

PostureFit SL is an advanced upgrade that features two adjustable pads that support the sacral and lumbar regions of the spine. Standard lumbar support is a simpler, non-adjustable padded bar that provides less customized back support compared to the PostureFit system.
