Herman Miller Aeron review
The reviewer shares that when they first got their Aeron, they experienced significant pain in their glutes and lower back that lasted for about two weeks. They were genuinely concerned something was wrong with either the chair or their body. However, after pushing through this painful period, the discomfort completely disappeared and now they find the chair extremely comfortable. They believe this was their body adapting to sitting with proper posture for extended periods.
Pros
- Extremely comfortable after break-in
- Promotes proper posture
Cons
- Significant pain in glutes and lower back for first two weeks
