Herman Miller Aeron review
This reviewer has extensive experience with the Herman Miller Aeron, having used one at their office for several years before the pandemic. They describe the Aeron as an excellent chair that's very comfortable and well-built, noting they never had complaints about it during their time using it at work. However, when shopping for a home office chair during the work-from-home transition, they chose the Embody over the Aeron after trying both. They explain that while the Aeron is great, the Embody felt more comfortable to them personally and offered better back support. They note the Aeron uses a mesh seat and back, which some people love for breathability but others find less comfortable than the Embody's foam and fabric construction. The Aeron is also slightly less expensive than the Embody, which might be a consideration for budget-conscious buyers. Their recommendation is that both are excellent chairs, but the Embody edges ahead for comfort and back support if price isn't the primary concern.

- Very comfortable
