Herman Miller Aeron review

The commenter strongly dislikes mesh seats on the Aeron and expresses a strong preference against them. They mention that both the Gesture and Leap have very thin seat padding, but suggest that adding something like a Purple cushion could help, though they acknowledge that defeats the purpose of buying an expensive ergonomic chair in the first place. Their comment reflects frustration with the mesh design and thin padding options in high-end ergonomic chairs.

Cons

  • Dislikes mesh seats strongly
  • Gesture and Leap both have very thin seat padding
