Herman Miller Aeron review

This commenter shares that they struggled with their Aeron for months before discovering they had purchased the wrong size. They're 5'4" and initially bought a Size B but found it uncomfortable no matter what adjustments they made. After switching to Size A, the chair immediately felt much better and all the adjustments became effective. They stress that size is the foundation that everything else builds on.

Pros

  • Size A works very well for shorter users
  • Correct size makes adjustments effective
  • Immediately noticeable improvement with right size

Cons

  • Wrong size causes months of discomfort
  • Size issues aren't immediately obvious as the cause
  • Expensive mistake if you buy wrong size initially
