By now you're probably used to some sort of work-from-home or hybrid work arrangement. After all, we've spent the last two-and-a-half years cooped up at home trying to protect ourselves from COVID-19.

Sure, you may already be back at the physical office (groan), but it's probably safe for us to assume that you still prefer working at home, at least if you've got a proper work setup going on. An important part of that work setup is a good chair, preferably one that's ergonomic so you won't be hunching your back like a prawn all day.

A brand synonymous with ultra-premium, high-quality work chairs is, of course, Herman Miller. And right now, you can get the Herman Miller Aeron at S$1,768 on Amazon Singapore. While that number might seem big, it's actually a S$511 discount.

Since its introduction in 1994, the Herman Miller Aeron has been a staple in every serious work setup. Whether you're an industrial designer, a programmer, or even a regular content writer like myself, everyone can benefit from scientifically-backed ergonomic design. After all, our human bodies can only stay so well-postured if our environment allows it.

The innovative design of this remastered version of the Aeron enables it to support a multitude of postures, activities, and body types. It's what has made the Aeron an icon, just a little more refined for 21st-century needs.

With Herman Miller's patented PostureFit SL back support technology, any and every user is afforded the ideal sit, which (according to Herman Miller) consists of an open chest, shoulders to the back, and the pelvis tilted slightly forward. Essentially, the lumbar and base of the spine is well-supported thanks to this flexible feature. And with a more active posture, this also reduces muscle fatigue. I know, science is fascinating.

There are eight zones of varying tension within the seat-back and seat 'cushion' (where you plomp your butt), which eliminate all the pressure points that tend to restrict circulation on other conventional chairs.

Plus, for those of us living in warm and humid environments, the 8Z Pellicle material that encompasses the Aeron allows body heat to pass through the seat and back. And while all this is great, what's the point of a fancy ergonomic chair if it's simply too big or too small for your unique body size and shape?

Thankfully, the Aeron comes in three different size configurations to ensure the best possible fit for your body – Size A (small), Size B (medium), and Size C (large). To dive deeper into the dimensions that suit you best, here's a useful infographic:

It's literally like getting your own chair 'tailored' for you.

While it might be difficult to justify spending four figures on a work chair, people who own Herman Miller chairs beg to differ. Sure, you might be able to get a similar ergonomic experience from a less expensive alternative, but nothing really comes close to the Aeron. It checks all the boxes: Sheer comfort, innovative ergonomics, top-tier build quality, and long-lasting durability.

To make the purchase sweeter, you'll be glad to know that Herman Miller Aeron chairs retain their prices extremely well on the secondhand market, which means you won't be losing much money (if at all) if you do decide to sell off your precious Aeron.

The Herman Miller Aeron needs no introduction. It's the pinnacle of comfort and ergonomics. It's also a proper investment, something that will last an incredibly long time thanks to its superior build quality.

Do yourself a favor and get it now for S$1,768 at Amazon Singapore (save S$511).
