Herman Miller Aeron review

This person emphasizes the importance of the PostureFit or lumbar support option, noting that the basic Aeron without lumbar support is significantly less effective. They explain that when they initially bought an Aeron without the lumbar support add-on, they had persistent lower back discomfort. After upgrading to a model with PostureFit, the difference was dramatic and their back issues resolved. They strongly recommend not buying an Aeron without proper lumbar support.

Pros

  • PostureFit/lumbar support dramatically improves effectiveness
  • Resolves lower back discomfort when properly equipped
  • Makes significant difference in overall comfort

Cons

  • Basic model without lumbar support causes back discomfort
  • Lumbar support should be considered essential, not optional
  • Less effective without proper lumbar option
