| Specification | Herman Miller Aeron Ergonomic Office Chair | TUFT & NEEDLE Original Queen Size Memory Foam Mattress |
|---|---|---|
| Price | ₹1,49,900 | ₹49,990 |
| Assembly | None -- ships fully assembled | None -- ships compressed and expands over 24 to 72 hours |
| Panel material | Die-cast aluminium frame with a Pellicle elastomeric mesh suspension | Adaptive polyurethane foam over a support layer. Not memory foam in the viscoelastic sense |
| Weight | 19 kg | 32 kg |

| Adjustments | Tilt limiter, forward tilt, arm height, width and angle | not published |
| Firmness | not published | About 6 on the 1 to 10 scale, which is medium-firm |
| Foam type | not published | Adaptive polyfoam, which responds faster than viscoelastic memory foam and traps less heat |
| Heat | not published | Cooler than true memory foam, which matters through an Indian summer |
| Off-gassing | not published | A smell for the first 2 to 3 days, which is normal for compressed foam |
| PostureFit SL | Supports both the lumbar and the sacrum, which is what distinguishes it from ordinary lumbar support | not published |
| Sizes | A small, B medium, C large. Size is not adjustable and choosing wrong cannot be corrected | not published |

| What the scale means | not published | Under 4 is soft and suits side sleepers; 6 to 7 is medium-firm and suits back and combination sleepers; over 8 is firm |
| Why mesh | Foam compresses permanently and traps heat. Mesh does neither, which is why this lasts twelve years | not published |
| Why size matters most | The Aeron is sized rather than universally adjustable. A size B for someone who needs a C is uncomfortable at any setting | not published |
