Herman Miller Aeron review

The commenter previously owned a Herman Miller Aeron for about five years before switching to the Zody II. They found the Aeron's mesh seat uncomfortable for extended sitting sessions, particularly during all-day work sessions. The hard mesh would cause discomfort and numbness in their thighs after a few hours. While they appreciated the Aeron's build quality and adjustability, the seat comfort issue was a dealbreaker. They ultimately sold it and don't regret the decision, preferring chairs with more cushioned seats.

Pros

  • Excellent build quality
  • Highly adjustable

Cons

  • Mesh seat uncomfortable for extended sitting
  • Caused thigh discomfort and numbness after a few hours
  • Not suitable for all-day work sessions
