Herman Miller Aeron review

One commenter describes their experience switching from a Herman Miller Aeron to the Steelcase Leap V2. They note that while the Aeron has a legendary reputation and many devoted fans, they personally found the mesh seat and rigid feel less comfortable for their body during long sessions. The Aeron worked okay for a while, but they ultimately preferred the cushioned seat and more forgiving back of the Leap, which they say accommodated their sitting style better and reduced discomfort during extended work periods.

Pros

  • Legendary reputation

Cons

  • Mesh seat and rigid feel less comfortable for long sessions
  • Less forgiving than Leap V2
