Herman Miller Aeron review

This person found that changing the angle of the lumbar support on their Aeron from pointing outward to a more neutral or inward angle made a significant difference. They explained that while the chair positions your spine in a way that therapists recommend for proper posture, many people aren't used to sitting this way because it feels unnatural at first. They suggest that over time, this positioning is supposed to improve posture and may be the root cause of initial discomfort for some users who are accustomed to poor sitting habits.

Pros

  • Adjustable lumbar angle makes big difference
  • Positions spine correctly per therapist recommendations
  • Can improve posture over time

Cons

  • Feels unnatural at first
  • Requires adjustment period
