Herman Miller Aeron review

The user previously owned an Aeron before switching to an Embody. They found the Aeron to be a good chair with excellent build quality and appreciated its iconic design. However, they felt that the mesh seat eventually became uncomfortable during very long sitting sessions, creating pressure points that bothered them. They also mentioned that the Aeron's sizing system was somewhat limiting, and despite being in the 'B' size range, they felt it wasn't quite the perfect fit for their body. These issues led them to try the Embody, which they found to be more comfortable for their specific needs.

Pros

  • Excellent build quality
  • Iconic design
  • Good chair overall

Cons

  • Mesh seat created pressure points during long sessions
  • Sizing system somewhat limiting
  • Not a perfect fit for their body type
