The most sought-after office chairs are the Herman Miller Aeron and the Steelcase Leap V2. What makes them great, and which is better

These similarly priced task chairs are high-performance ergonomic chairs that offer unique features and benefits. Interested in either of these task chairs? Here’s a comparison to help you make an informed decision:   

Herman Miller Aeron:  

  • Features an iconic modern design with all mesh material for breathability 
  • Offered in various sizes to accommodate different body types 
  • Patented Pellicle suspension system adapts to the user’s body shape for ultimate comfort 
  • Exceptionally built for durability with precision engineering 
  • Adjustable lumbar support, tilt tension control, and forward tilt functionality 

Steelcase Leap V2:  

  • Famously comfortable with generous padding and patented LiveBack technology that promotes healthy posture

  • Expertly designed to withstand heavy use – built to last
