Herman Miller Aeron review
The poster is a 6'3", 250 lb person who runs hot and experiences significant heat buildup after sitting for a few hours, especially in summer. They tried the Aeron C previously and found the size was appropriate, but they never adjusted to the mesh seat. After a few hours of sitting, the mesh began to feel hammock-like and uncomfortable. They much prefer a more cushioned seat and are now looking for something that accommodates a bigger build while still providing cooling during long work sessions.
Pros
- Size C was appropriate for their 6'3" 250 lb build
Cons
- Mesh seat felt hammock-like after a few hours
- Never got comfortable with the mesh material
- Inadequate for someone who runs hot during long sessions
