Herman Miller Aeron review

The reviewer bought an Aeron to alleviate back and neck pain from poor posture. The chair arrived but they found it incredibly uncomfortable initially. However, they persisted and after about one to one and a half weeks of daily use, the chair suddenly became amazingly comfortable. They believe the chair forces proper posture which felt unnatural at first since their body was accustomed to bad posture. Now they love the chair and find it exceptionally comfortable. They emphasize that the initial discomfort period is normal and users should push through it.

Pros

  • Became extremely comfortable after break-in period
  • Forces proper posture
  • Helped with back and neck pain

Cons

  • Very uncomfortable for the first 1-1.5 weeks
  • Requires adjustment period to new posture
