Herman Miller Aeron review
This person shares their personal experience trying the Herman Miller Aeron and finding the mesh seat uncomfortable for their preferences. They explain that after sitting in it for about an hour at a showroom, they felt the mesh was too firm and created pressure points on their thighs and sit bones. They acknowledge that many people love the mesh, but for their body type and comfort preferences, they found traditional cushioned seats more comfortable. They decided not to purchase the Aeron specifically because of the mesh seat feel and instead looked at chairs with more conventional padding.
Cons
- Mesh felt too firm during trial
- Created pressure points on thighs and sit bones
- Not suitable for all body types or preferences
