The Herman Miller Aeron is part of the Furniture test program at Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, Office Chairs models like the Aeron are rated on multiple criteria, such as those listed below.

Ergonomics: A high score means the chair meets ergonomic design standards for postural support and comfort. A top-scoring model allows users to adjust the chair to achieve a good seated working position.

Comfort: A high score means the chair was rated as highly comfortable by a panel of users. A top-scoring model should feel more comfortable than lower-scoring ones, though personal preference may vary.

Ease of use: A high score means the chair is easy to adjust and use. A top-scoring model typically has controls that are easy to understand and adjust while seated, like seat height or recline tension.
