What is the Weight Limit for Aeron Classic?

Published in Office Chair Specifications 2 mins read

The Aeron Classic chair is designed and warranted for users weighing 300 pounds (approximately 136 kg) and under.

This weight capacity is consistent across all three available sizes of the Classic Aeron chair:

  • A-size (small)
  • B-size (medium)
  • C-size (large)

Each size has been extensively tested to ensure it can support individuals within this specified weight range while maintaining its structural integrity, ergonomic performance, and the validity of its warranty. Adhering to this weight limit is essential for the longevity of the chair and for ensuring it provides the intended support and comfort.

Understanding the Weight Limit

The 300-pound limit is a critical specification provided by Herman Miller, reflecting the maximum user weight for which the chair is designed and warranted. This testing ensures that the chair's components, including its frame, mechanism, and casters, can reliably withstand the stresses of regular use by individuals up to this weight.

Key Points Regarding Weight and Sizing:

  • Universal Weight Capacity: Regardless of whether you choose a small (A), medium (B), or large (C) Classic Aeron, the maximum user weight remains 300 pounds.
  • Sizing for Fit, Not Weight: While the weight limit is constant, the A, B, and C sizes primarily cater to different heights and body frames to provide optimal ergonomic alignment. For instance, a taller or broader user might find a C-size more comfortable, even if they are well within the 300-pound weight limit.
  • Warranty Implication: Exceeding the recommended weight limit may void the chair's warranty, as it places undue stress on components not designed for such loads.
