Herman Miller Aeron review

This user shares that they actually removed the armrests from their Aeron entirely and found it improved their posture significantly. They felt the armrests encouraged them to lean and slouch, and without them they naturally sit more upright and engaged. They acknowledge this is unconventional and won't work for everyone, but for them it was the key to using the chair comfortably. They note the armrests are easy to remove if someone wants to try this approach.

Pros

  • Armrests are removable for customization
  • Can improve posture for some users without armrests
  • Easy to modify chair configuration

Cons

  • Armrests may encourage leaning and slouching for some users
