Herman Miller Aeron vs Herman Miller Vantum
Same maker, same 12-year warranty, two very different postures. The Aeron is the mesh office chair benchmark; the Vantum is Herman Miller's gaming chair, built with Logitech G around a forward-tilted position that keeps you close to the screen.

Who should buy which
Pick the Aeron if your chair is mainly for full workdays at a keyboard: the mesh seat and back stay cool, three sizes give a precise fit, and the PostureFit SL pads support the lower back and the base of the spine. Pick the Vantum if you game a lot, want a headrest (Herman Miller sells none for the Aeron) or like sitting upright and close to the screen; it also costs less than the Aeron. Both are long-term purchases, so try them in a store if you can.

Questions people ask
Can the Herman Miller Vantum be used as an office chair?
Yes. It has adjustable sacral-lumbar support, seat depth adjustment, a tilt limiter and tension knob, and a 12-year warranty. Its forward-tilt posture suits upright work at a keyboard; if you prefer to lean back or run warm, the all-mesh Aeron is the better office chair.
