Best Ergononomic Office Chairs

Originally designed by Bill Stumpf and Don Chadwick in 1994 and updated by Don Chadwick 2016, the Aeron Chair has become the gold standard in blending ergonomics with comfort. Every component of Aeron is designed to maintain proper alignment and balance – no matter the sitting position. The patented PostureFit SL hardware provides adjustable spinal support that helps your body mimic its strongest posture: standing, chest open, and pelvis tilted slightly forward. From upright and active to a deep recline, Aeron’s state-of-the-art Harmonic 2 tilt mechanism moves with you naturally and supports your entire range of movement. Fine-tune Aeron even further with its fully adjustable arms, seat height, and recline. And since it’s now composed of more than 50% recycled materials, you can experience the same comfort with more sustainability.

Specifically designed for people who spend stretches of time sitting in front of a computer, the Embody Chair (2008) promotes correct posture while allowing the freedom to move. The expertise of more than 20 physicians and PhDs in the fields of biomechanics, vision, physical therapy, and ergonomics guided its development. The result is a backrest and seat that automatically conform to your body’s micro-movements, providing consistent ergonomic support in both forward and reclined positions. Flexible support. Embody’s Pixelated Support system distributes your weight evenly, creating a sense that you are floating. The support reduces pressure and encourages movement, both of which are key to maintaining focus and healthy circulation. Mimicking the human body, the chair’s narrow back has a central spine and flexible ribs. A Backfit adjustment controls them, allowing you to position the backrest in line with your spine’s natural curve so that you have a neutral, balanced posture. Embody’s seat features four different support layers. Together, they mold to your shape while allowing for airflow, keeping you cool and comfortable as you sit. A pneumatic seat lift and repositionable chair arms help you further tailor Embody to your specifications. Durable and earth-friendly. Embody is made of 42% recycled materials and is 95% recyclable at the end of its useful life. It also is PVC-free and manufactured at a 100%-green-energy facility. This is the authentic Embody Chair by Herman Miller.

The lean, light Mirra 2 Task Chair (2013) has a spry, playful form but is plenty serious when it comes to passive and active adjustments, hassle-free support, sustainable credentials, and a fresh choice of finishes. This chair is especially well-suited for people who like to stretch and move throughout their day. Breathable materials keep your body cool, while the base and spine—now made from 100% recycled content—offer the same comfort and performance with a lighter footprint. Choose from a graphite or alpine frame and an inspired palette to define your style, from clean and monochromatic to bright color blocks. This is the authentic Mirra 2 by Herman Miller.
