Aeron Chair Lumbar Pad

The Aeron chair is an ergonomically designed chair that originated around 1994 and is distributed by Herman Miller. Aeron chairs have been used in movie scenes (Hard Candy & Casino Royale) and in television shows (The Simpsons, West Wing & House). While it is considered to be rather expensive, it's benefits to users are profound. It is touted as not only comfortable but also aids in the relief of back pain. The Aeron chair has received rave reviews from users everywhere.

The Aeron chair is not upholstered, but is constructed of a flexible mesh material called a pellicle. It has an incorporated lumbar back support in the rear. The Aeron chair is available in three different sizes: A (small), B (medium) and C (large). This chair can be adjusted in a number of ways to increase the comfort of the user. You can adjust the seat height, tilt tension, arm height, arm angle, lumbar support depth and lumbar support height.

A guide to these adjustments is available at http://www.futureproofed.com/resources/pdf/aeronleverarm_support.pdf

The benefits of using an Aeron chair include:

1. Contoured back that takes pressure off of the lower spine. 2. The seat bottom is contoured to remove pressure from the thighs so circulation isn't inhibited. 3. The patented Pellicle suspension distributes weight uniformly. 4. The soft flexible material molds itself to the shape of the user providing more support than conventional chairs. 5. Since the chair is constructed of a mesh material, air passes through freely, keeping the user cool and comfortable. 6. Has an incorporated lumbar support pad that helps avoid lower back pain and gives added support.

One of the concerns is that when the lumbar support needs to be replaced, where do you go? Who do you call?

The lumbar supports are available widely across the Internet. I have seen them at a median cost of about $60 plus shipping. You can probably have your office supply company send someone out to replace it, but it is a simple process that you can do yourself. Keep in mind that the lumbar support is adjustable. To adjust it, you need to actually remove it from the chair and put it back on.

Follow this procedure to replace or adjust the lumbar support:

· Put equal pressure on each end of the lumbar support. · Lift the pad out of the track. · If replacing the support pad, put new one back in the same way. · If adjusting the support pad, flip it over and insert it back in the same way.

The lumbar support pad adjusts to either 4" or 1 ¼" depths. The height of the lumbar support bar is also adjustable. Simply Use equal pressure on each side and slide it up or down to suit your comfort.
