Herman Miller Aeron review

A commenter from Florida is sharing advice about chair selection in hot and dry climates. They note that in Florida, it's not hard to overheat with certain chairs, which makes them feel worse. They specifically mention that aerons might work better in hot, dry climates like Utah where it's hot and dry, but with modern air conditioning, the Aeron doesn't make much difference anyway. They were coming from a past generation chair and found the Aeron to be the back-off choice because they don't keep their workspace warm initially anyway, but heating is still a problem. If the chair is perfect ergonomically and provides some warmth as the only issue, there might be worth in the drawbacks rather than trying to chase the perfect chair that's ideal in every way, ending up spending more time and money to find it. They suggest that if you decide to continue the chair journey, you probably shouldn't have a hard time selling it for close to or more than what you paid for it.

Pros

  • Works well in hot and dry climates like Utah
  • Easy to resell for close to purchase price

Cons

  • Doesn't make much difference with modern AC
  • May not be necessary if coming from older generation chairs
