Aeron

I had a Herman Miller Aeron for awhile and had a hunch it was making things worse. Leg pain, back pain. Finally said screw it and tried a Steelcase Gesture and oh my god it was like night and day. Maybe try to switch it up. You have the cash and there is no better investment than in things between y

I’ve used both the Aeron and the Herman Miller x Logitech embody for a few years and the embody clears it. Most comfortable chair and it’s not close.

Steelcase Leap. The Gesture, which is very similar (but not as nice-looking) is also great. Here is The Wirecutter's review. These are much better than the Aeron, in my opinion. The Aeron, while icon, is all plastic and is nowhere near as snug or warm as the Steelcase models. Also, Steelcase is abou

Everyone is different. I had a Herman Miller Aeron and it was one of my least favorite chairs. I love my Haworth I have at my work office, but I find that the Secret Lab chair in my home office is pretty comfy too.

There were like 110 office chairs, and about half were Herman Miller Aerons. The GC was throwing them in the dumpster, and told us we co

I just went to a fancy store and tried out all the classic ones. Nothing beats actually sitting in it and trying the adjustments! I wasn't exactly planning to get the most expensive one (Herman Miller Embody), but it felt the best. The Aeron actually felt pretty bad to me. My second choice would hav

It appears to be a “Herman Miller Aluminum Group Soft Pad Executive chair.” If the story is true, it’s “real” as I’m only aware of very recently made replicas. I personally aspire to have one of these- I sat in one at the HM showroom and it’s the most comfortable office chair I’ve ever felt, includi
