Aeron chairs gained popularity for a number of reasons, including design and style. But it also gained popularity because it came on the scene about the same time that companies began to pay attention to ergonomics and the high cost of bad posture encouraged by other types of chair designs. While the original cost of the chair might have been higher than its competitors, many companies found that the chair’s ergonomic advantages more than justified the increased cost. Since that time, many companies have taken the same steps, rationalizing that the extra couple hundred dollars for the chair pales in comparison to the cost of losing a valuable employee to lower back pain or other issues cause by bad chair designs.
