Bad Backs is licensed to sell the HermanMiller® Chair range in NSW, VIC & WA. Launched by Herman Miller in 1994 the Aeron® revolutionized the seating market, gaining immense popularity. Created by designers Bill Stumpf and Don Chadwick, the concept of the Aeron was a breakthrough in ergonomics, versatility, style and looks for office chairs. Stumpf and Chadwick deliberately designed the Aeron to be like no other chair. They replaced foam and fabric with Pellicle®, a breathable, custom-fitting material and used science to achieve new levels of comfort and support. The innovative PostureFit® provides adjustable sacral support to promote optimal posture for people of all sizes doing all kinds of activities, all day long. Available in three sizes, Aeron fits people of all statures, adapting and adjusting to them throughout the day. Its wide range of material and finish options makes it welcome in spaces from formal to contemporary. You won’t find anything else like it, anywhere.
The Aeron chair didn't end up in the Museum of Modern Art's permanent collection just because it looks cool. Although it does, its looks are only the beginning. Aeron accommodates both the sitter and the environment. It adapts naturally to virtually every body, and it's 94% recyclable. Even if it's black, it's green. The high, wide, contoured back takes the pressure off your lower spine. Armrests slope slightly down in the back for the most natural and comfortable support. The "waterfall" front edge of the seat takes the pressure off your thighs, so your blood keeps circulating and you stay alert and focused. The patented Kinemat tilt mechanism lets your neck, shoulders, hips, knees, and ankles pivot naturally. The Aeron chair moves effortlessly with your whole body, as if your body were telling the chair what to do. Lead time approx 2 weeks depending on your location and day of ordering.

Active adjustments give people control over their own comfort and support. Green was built into the Aeron chair from the beginning of the design stage. Over half of each chair is recycled materials, and almost the entire chair-94%-is recyclable. Certified to MBDC Cradle to Cradle Silver, Aeron is GREENGUARD certified and can contribute to LEED certification. Recyclability 66% recycled content and is 94% recyclable A modest, but fundamental, design addition, PostureFit is part of what makes Aeron so comfortable to sit in, even for hours and hours on end. PostureFit supports the way your pelvis tilts naturally forward, so that your spine stays aligned and you avoid back pain Aeron’s Kinemat® tilt allows the body to pivot naturally and simultaneously at the ankles, knees, and hips for smooth, proper support in any seated position. Because continuing research has shown that many people are sitting upright and forward, Aeron offers the PostureFit®. It provides custom-fitted support at the lower back that promotes proper alignment of the spine for a healthful, comfortable posture.
Aeron is the only chair with Pellicle® suspension, a unique material that conforms to the body and distributes weight evenly over the seat and back for truly customized support. Air circulates through the Pellicle, keeping the sitter comfortable by preventing body heat build-up. Each of the available Pellicle patterns delivers the same unique level of custom fitted support and breathability. Aeron chairs come in three sizes. The B size is the best fit for most people. The A size fits those who are smaller and lighter; the C size fits taller and heavier people. Please refer to the PDF sizing chart to find the most appropriate size for you. All Widths include arm. All sizes are approximate Like all Herman Miller products, the Aeron chair is durable for long-term performance and value. As a statement of our confidence in its quality, the Aeron chair is covered by the Herman Miller Warranty—a straightforward promise that we stand behind that quality 100 percent.

With the new chair, we incorporated two decades worth of technological and ergonomic enhancements to improve the health-positive design, and widen the range of cross-performance capabilities. With updates that include a more refined tilt mechanism, adjustable PostureFit SL and 8Z Pellicle suspension, the new Aeron performs smarter than ever before, so you can too. Get into the ZonesPellicle, the innovative, elastomeric suspension of the original Aeron, eliminated circulation-restricting pressure points and stretched the boundaries of material design. New 8Z Pellicle pushes the material to a whole new zone: eight of them.
Across the seat and back, eight latitudinal zones of varying tension – tightest at the edges and more forgiving where the body makes contact – envelop the sitter, and deliver increased comfort and ergonomic support. Stay CoolBy doing away with foam and fabric, Aeron solved one of prolonged sitting’s biggest predicaments: the build-up of heat and humidity close to the body. Pellicle allows air, body heat and water vapour to pass through the seat and backrest to help maintain even and comfortable skin temperatures. While many chairs have adopted mesh as a way to deliver some performance, there’s only one Pellicle. A Stance Worth BackingIf an active body is at its strongest when standing, chest open and pelvis tilted slightly forward, it makes sense that you would be better off sitting like that too. And that’s exactly where PostureFit SL comes in. Adjustable, individual pads stabilise the sacrum and support the lumbar region of the spine to mimic that healthful standing position.
Combined ComfortAll of the enhancements to the new Aeron were designed to work together to comprehensively support the human form. PostureFit SL and 8Z Pellicle represent a higher level of ergonomic expertise and state-of-the-art support to improve the experience for the sitter. Together they create total spinal support – calculated, localised support that moves the skeletal system into a position that provides ultimate spinal support. This is achieved both when the person is still, and when the person moves, to provide more active support. If You’re So ReclinedStaying in one position reduces the natural pumping action of the muscles that deliver nutrients to the intervertebral disks. The Aeron chair’s tilt allows it to move with the body in such a natural way that people can shift from forward to reclining postures intuitively. Today’s slimmer, updated tilt mechanism delivers an even more seamless experience of movement (and stasis) to the sitter through a smoother trajectory and optimal balance point.
