Which Size Aeron Chair Is for Me?

Aeron chairs, produced by Herman Miller, are office chairs with a distinctive design. Unlike upholstered executive chairs, Aeron chairs have a webbed support system for the chair's back and seat. While other office chairs are sold only in one size, Aeron chairs are available in a variety of sizes, based on the person's height and weight. Knowing which size Aeron chair you fit into best will ensure you buy the right product for your personal comfort.
  1. Sizes

    • The three sizes of Aeron chairs are A, B and C. These sizes are based on the size of the individual sitting in the chair, up to 300 pounds. The smallest size is A. B-sized chairs are built for the widest range of people and are suitable for those whose height and weight put them between Aeron chair sizes. Chairs sized C are for those who require more room in an office chair for support and comfort.

    Test Sit

    • The best way to ensure a proper fit in an Aeron chair is to test sit in each of the three sizes: A, B and C. Locate a store in your area that sells Herman Miller products, and call to verify that the store has Aeron chairs for sale. Sit in each size of the same model of a chair to find the one that best fits you.

    Height and Weight

    • Your height and weight will help to determine the size chair you need. Aeron chairs are sized for adults between 4 feet 10 inches tall and 6 feet 6 inches tall and from 90 to 300 pounds. Generally, those up to 5 feet 3 inches and 140 pounds should choose a size A chair. Those taller than 6 feet 3 inches or heavier than 250 pounds should select a size C chair.

    Size Chart

    • Compare your height and weight to a size chart from Herman Miller available at HermanMiller.com. If you fall between sizes A and B or B and C, opt for a size B chair. Additional adjustments for the tilt, seat height and arm height can be made directly on the chair to customize the fit to your personal preference.
