What IS Posture Fit?
Posture-Fit is a major ergonomic breakthrough in office seating that
delivers custom-fitted support where it's needed most: in the lower back
area below the beltline, where the spine meets the pelvis.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Posture-Fit adjusts to the lower back's contours, filling the void that
exists between the lower back of a chair. By doing so, Posture-Fit
supports the natural forward tilt of the pelvis to promote the alignment
of the spine. This enables the sitter to sustain a healthier
posture.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF A HEALTHFUL POSTURE?
Research confirms that slouching and similar seated postures can cause
backaches, fatigue, and poor concentration. A healthful
posture-when the spine is properly aligned- promotes greater overall
comfort, including improved concentration and endurance through long
hours of seated task work.
WHAT IS IT AN APPROPRIATE CHOICE FOR
TODAY'S
WORKERS?
Recent Herman Miller® research shows that office workers today are
literally on the edge of their seats-sitting upright and forward, often
working at a computer-during much of their workday. When people sit
this way for extended periods, they tend to slouch, causing the spine to
lose its natural alignment. This results in fidgeting, fatigue, and
general discomfort, quite often followed by lower back pain, tight
shoulder and neck muscles, and headaches. Posture-Fit provides
healthful lower back support and spinal alignment for anyone whose
work involves hours of task-intensive seated activity.
HOW IS POSTURE-FIT DIFFERENT FROM LUMBAR
CONTROL?
Lumbar support devices address the symptoms of poor posture by applying
pressure to counteract the bending outward of the lumbar region.
Posture-Fit addresses the root cause of poor posture: it fills the
void that exists between the lower back, below the beltline, and the back
of the chair, and by doing so, supports the natural forward tilt of the
pelvis, which is necessary for healthful spinal alignment.
WHY WAS THE AERON CHAIR SELECTED TO FEATURE
POSTURE-FIT
Aeron® and Posture-Fit are a great match because both represent advanced
thinking in ergonomic design. Aeron® co-designer, Bill Stumpf,
along with Jeff Weber of Stumpf/Weber & Associates, took part in
designing Posture-Fit. Posture-Fit technology will also be
incorporated into other Herman Miller® seating lines in the future.
CAN POSTURE-FIT BE ADDED TO EXISTING AERON CHAIRS?
Yes, and easily and quickly!
WHAT HAVE BEEN THE RESULTS OF USER TESTING?
84 percent of Herman Miller® tests subjects say they prefer Posture-Fit
to traditional lumbar support, and 85 percent say it provides superior
lower back support.
WHEN WILL POSTURE-FIT BE AVAILABLE?*
Posture-Fit scheduled to be introduced November/December
WHAT IS THE COST FOR POSTURE-FIT?*
Available in size's A, B, C). The price is the same as an
