Introducing the first footrest made specifically for Aeron
With 2 minutes and an allen wrench (included), transform your Aeron into the most advanced reclined seating system on the planet. The technology is already built into your chair. You just have to attach Base to access it.

A patent-pending way to sit different
Sit the way you always dreamed was possible. With this simple shift to stabilize your body, there is a whole new world of comfort - using the Aeron's natural range of motion.

Easy assembly
- 2 bolts
- 2 minutes
- Done
A little effort for a better seating feel.
All day, everyday.

Why this works
The quickest way to explain the benefit of Base is to examine an astronaut in zero gravity.
Your body's most natural position (neutral spinal posture) is when your hips are open (beyond 103 degres) and legs are extended. This position creates the least stress in your muscular and skeletal system. It’s also how you naturally float in water. It’s what your body naturally wants to do.
If you sit in a normal Aeron and try to assume this posture with you feet on the floor, your feet "shear" against the floor surface as you try to lean back. You will either naturally roll backward or your pelvis will want to slide forward away from the lumbar support.
When you sit in Aeron+Base, your feet can naturally press into Base to offer the perfect balancing force to the recline mechanism.

Perfectly balanced forces
The first thing you notice with Base is that you can “press” your lower back into the lumbar curve.
You immediately feel more back and shoulder support - simply by pressing gently with your legs.
This position just might be the most ideal place to start your day. While it is absolutely important to move as much as possible throughout your day, it is equally important to maintain excellent posture in every position. Base enables the most optimal reclined posture possible.
