Herman Miller Aeron review

The reviewer purchased a used Aeron and initially had high hopes given the reputation and price point. However, they found it uncomfortable after just a few hours of sitting, with the mesh creating pressure points that became painful. They tried adjusting all the settings multiple times but couldn't find a configuration that worked for their body. After two months of trying to make it work, they sold it and went with a different chair. They feel the Aeron is overhyped and that the mesh design doesn't work well for extended sitting, at least not for their body type.

Cons

  • Uncomfortable after few hours
  • Mesh creates pressure points
  • Painful for extended sitting
  • Difficult to adjust properly
  • Overhyped
