Herman Miller Aeron review

This user describes the Aeron as having been extremely uncomfortable for them during the first few weeks of ownership to the point where they seriously regretted the purchase and considered returning it. However, they decided to persist through the uncomfortable period and eventually, around the three-week mark, something clicked and the chair became very comfortable. They now love the chair but emphasize that the break-in period was genuinely painful and difficult.

Pros

  • Very comfortable after break-in period
  • Eventually becomes excellent

Cons

  • Extremely uncomfortable for first few weeks
  • Considered returning it during break-in
  • Painful adjustment period
