Aeron Chair

I know this chair takes a bit of cash from the wallet, but it's well worth it. Solid. Extremely well built. Incredibly comfortable. The price in WELL worth it. Very much WELL worth it.

The delivery was awesome. I opened the box, the chair was assembled. I carried it up to my office, plunked it down, sat in in it, made some adjustments, and haven't looked back. I really love this chair.

Love the chair. So comfortable.

I decided to purchase an expensive office chair from an alternate leading brand (NOT the Aeron) about two years ago and had been using it ever since. I work from home doing graphic design and spend most of the day at my desk in front of the computer. Well... somehow I just could never feel perfectly comfortable in the other chair... it just didn't support my back in the way that I needed ...especially my lower back...and I would find myself slouching forward most of the time.... it really didn't do much to help my posture alas :(
SOOOO.... a couple of months ago I decided to start reconsidering looking at and possibly purchasing an Aeron. Of course because of the HUUUUUGE price tag I went back and forth and back and forth on this... but finally decided to go ahead and try it out. Had the 30-day return option not been available I probably wouldn't have taken the plunge...so THANK YOU, Herman Miller, for having that return option available... it is VERY HELPFUL for all of us who really would like to try it but are on the fence about it.

Aaaaaaaaaanyhoo, before I continue rambling, I finally received it (way quicker than expected actually...just a few days after placing the order!!)... and LOVED being able to just roll it out of the box, fully assembled, and sit down. Please note that I was FULLY prepared to be disappointed...so it took me a while before deciding as to whether I liked it or not. I got the "fully loaded" version, with Posturefit SL.

Truth be told, I somehow wish there could be some further adjustments possible with the Posturefit (the main reason I am knocking a star off my review)... just to give a little more support...but so far it feels pretty good.

Straight off the bat I LOVE LOVE LOVE the forward tilt option (this was like a game changer for me) and also being able to rock (have the chair move forward and back with me) as I work....another game changer. This "fluid" rocking movement of the chair is simply superb...I just love it!!!

The other small improvement I feel could be made would be with the arms... I wish they could be a little more adjustable so that they could also be moved a little more inward when/if desired ...as is possible with the other chair that I had. Pls note that I DO have the fully adjustable arms but don't feel they are AS adjustable as my other chair was.

So... bottom line is that I think I REALLY like it. I find that I am able to better concentrate on my work and completely forget about any back pain during the day (that is usually caused from my poor posture while I am working).... which means that this chair must be doing a good job!!! :)

The cost was a bit startling but I figured I had no choice. I've tried many chairs and nothing gets rid of the aches and pains I feel from sitting all day... that is until Aeron came along.
I took the plunge and so glad I did. This chair is everything they promised and I love it.

Had a classic version of the Aeron in my office years ago and contemplated purchasing one for my home office for the past few years since I work long hours at the desk. Made the leap and bought a fully adjustable model with the lumbar support. Had a good order and delivery experience. After using it for a couple of months, it is the best chair I have used in the home office, but doesn't quite live up to my memory of the classic version. A few observations:
Pros: Overall, I love the quality and the adjustment options.
Cons: First, the seat base itself has almost an inch of "play" moving up and down. I don't mean the tilt option, but it moves up and down rotating where the hip bolts join it to the frame. Find it a distraction. Second, i ordered the adjustable posture fit SL support option, but have yet to get it adjusted to where I feel it is giving great support (maybe just operator error/learning). Overall positive, but if I had to do it again I would probably opt for spending less and trying a refurbished / used chair to start with.

Absolutely wonderful

I’ve tried the previous aeron in size a and b and my legs felt like they were getting pinched, so I decided to try the new one, and got it made just the way I wanted with adjustable height arms and tilt forward and lock and I love it! I think it’s due to the stiffer tension on parts of the seat and it just works. I highly recommend this chair, I’ll never get rid of it.

I had a bad fall accompanied by a number of temporary aches and pains. My office chair was very uncomfortable, making aches and pains worse. The Aeron not only let me work painlessly for extended periods, I believe it helped me recover from the accident more quickly. Every adjustment contributes to comfort. I especially like the adjustable arms, lumbar support, mesh seat that allows for air circulation, and very adjustable forward and backward tilt. Saving up for another for my wife.

Love it! Sometimes I forget I'm sitting in a chair, and feel like I'm floating. Chair arrived pre assembled. Just rolled it out of the massive box, and sat down . Would recommend

Use it everyday in my home office. Have been wanting a fully loaded Aeron Chair for years. Finally bought it and am only sorry that it didn't happen years ago.

I've had this same type of chair at work and 'liked' it. Finally ordered my own for home office and love it. I got the large chair (size c) and it fits my 6'3" frame well. I was worried it would be extremely wide, but it is not. I rolls effortlessly on hard wood floors.

The best. Now better.

Best chair ever!!! My husband has been through 3 expensive chairs and never received this type of back support and comfort during hours he spends working

first one arrived with shipping damage. C.S, was fantastic, replacement sent immediately and FedX pick up for broken unit arranged. Very comfortable and easy to adjust

From the time it arrived, I've been using it every day. It's a wonderfully designed ergonomic chair. Why did I wait so long to buy one of my own? It was worth the wait...

I bought my first Areon Chair about 18 years ago, it was finally time to retire that one - the oil/gas cylinder finally gave up, leaked and the hight adjustment was shot - 18 years !!!, it deserved to go into retirement after cradling my 250 lbs rear-end comfortably on a daily basis - of course, I bought the same chair again, the best office furniture investment I ever made, after-all, it's only 60 dollars per year ...

This is my second HM Aeron Chair and I will be a customer for life!!! An excellent product in terms of built quality & comfort. Appreciate the fast delivery from the company.
If you’re like me and spend most of your day sitting in an office chair, then it is worth the investment.

This is a very expensive chair, but also an investment for 10+ years. The chair is very ergonomic and (for me) eliminates all feelings of pressure points and fatigue. I had some issues with feeling like my leg circulation was cut off initially, but that has gone away as I've gotten used to having the full support of the seat. Other chairs typically just support my butt and not my legs and I had gotten used to that. I'm glad that I got a size C (i'm about 6'1" and 220 lbs). The aeron is not the kind of chair you sit down and melt into, but the kind of chair that makes you forget you are sitting down. For how many hours I sit in front of a computer, purchasing this chair was a no-brainer as I can feel a great improvement in my posture and the elimination of all sitting pains. The amount of adjustments with the armrests, reclining action, spring tension, forward tilt, is amazing. I bought the most expensive version with all the options except for the fancy materials ( I got standard armpad material and a graphite base and frame). I'm very happy with my purchase. The only negative as far as I'm concerned is the high price tag.

Fantastic

I have wanted this chair for close to 30 years. I was so happy that I finally had the money to buy one. I got a model that did not have adjustable arms or the seat angle and returned it because it was so uncomfortable. I ordered the Aeron with all the adjustable features. I am struggling to find a way to get comfortable in this chair. I'm hoping it will someday be 'broken in' and not hurt anymore. I am on the phone 8 hours a shift and most of the times I can hardly stand up because my legs have turned to stone. My hips ache and I honestly don't know what to think. My last chair was an inexpensive padded chair and it was comfortable until it started to wear out. I don't remember it ever hurting me like this. I will continue using the chair and my hope it, it will become more bearable as it ages. If it does, I will happily write another review.

This is the most comfortable and sturdy chair I have ever owned. I have had several of the bonded leather chairs and they never last very long. While this chair is rather expensive, it is reassuring that I will probably never have to buy another.

It’s my husband first choice based on his experience with the old version of it. He is very happy with the new ones.

I first came across the Aeron 14 years ago at my place of employment. It was such a great chair. I am a programmer so I sit at my desk quite a bit. Once I started my own business I didn't want to spend that much on a chair, boy that was not smart. For 10 years I tried to find a cheaper chair that supported me the way this one does. No luck at all. So I finally decided to take the plunge and I couldn't be happier!

love this chair

More comfortable than the old model. Extra features totally unnecessary — the base chair is very flexible and comfortable.

I've had my Aeron since 2002 and, while the base shows signs of finish degradation where I rest my feet, the chair has held up remarkably well.

15 years+ and zero problems.

I've sat in a HermanMiller Aeron Chair for most of my working life. Almost every office I've ever been in has had these chairs. I bought this one for my home office and I have to say it's every bit as nice as every other Aeron Chair I've ever sat in. Fully adjustable, perfectly comfortable. What more could you reasonably ask for? It comes fully assembled in a giant box so be prepared for an awful lot of cardboard.

I'm on my 13 year with mine, and have absolutely no regrets. It still looks as good as the first day, doesn't squeak at all, and I can sit in it all day long with no discomfort. No regrets!

The hard plastic sides of the chair place to much pressure on the sides of my legs. Returned this chair for something else.

A great comfortable chair!

After hours in the field and more hours of office work ahead I was disappointed. Just got this through my company. Ergonomic is good but no padding and without shoulder/neck support it's lacking comfort.

This chair is hands down the most comfortable and ergonomic office chair I've used. Additionally, it is aesthetically superior to most chairs. It is expensive, but well worth it.

I was somewhat reluctant to spend $900 on a desk chair but it's worth every penny and has been so much better on my back than I could've ever imagined.

That's what I said to myself the day the chair arrived, after a typical work day where I sit in the provided desk chair. I bought this to use as a gaming chair, after research indicated most gaming chairs were modified office desk chairs in garish colors. PC gaming at a desk requires comfortable positioning for mouse, keyboard, controller and breathability, because it is a sweaty activity. The Aeron suits the purpose well, and is fully adjustable so as to keep changing your position and avoiding repetitive motion fatigue. It's a little overpriced, but not a lot more over comparable chairs, and a Herman Miller will have resale value, if it is cared for. My only complaint form a comfort standpoint is that I wish the seat was a little longer from front to back. I could use another inch. And I would prefer to be able to raise and lower the lumbar support. I keep it retracted to increase the effective seat length, and would not have to do that, if I could raise it an inch or two.

I love this chair! It is so comfortable. Like that it tilts back also. Just a great chair.

I have not spent more than a hour in the chair however my first thoughts was that perhaps I should have gone beyond the basic model. Spending so much money on a chair without being able to adjust the depth of the seat now seems crazy.

I like everything about the chair except it does raise high enough for my desk. I would like to raise the seat 2 more inches.

I work from home now but I've had many of the Herman Miller chairs at work. I've had one in the office since the late 90's and I always loved them. When I started to remote exclusively from home, I had a few cheap chairs in my home office and they caused me lots of back and leg pain. One day I talked my wife into letting "go all out" on the new Aeron chair, I did and I got every option you can get. It was well worth every dollar! I usually now have to kick my kids out of it since they like it too. The only option I wished they made was an attachable headrest for went I want to kick back. I spend roughly 12 hours a day in my chair due to work then another 4 studying technology. I never have any issues even sitting for that long.

Ever since sitting in a Herman Miller chair in a conference room at work I wanted to own one. Unfortunately, I always bought a cheaper version and my back would be in complete pain by the end of the day and even worse the end of the week. This chair solved my problems! Not only does it help your posture but just the material and how it is designed I never have any back pain no matter how long I sit in it. I even find myself slouching at times and still no back pain. I definitely recommend this. I opted for the special PostureFit for a little extra money (I didn't get the adjustable arm height). If I could have tried this for a week I would have purchased this years ago! It is worth the extra price of the usual office chair.

Chair definitely helps with good posture and there are no sore spots on my bottom due to how the netting is designed. Well thought out chair.

I've add an Aeron chair for years and as long as it was in working condition, I really enjoyed it. Wish there was a recycling option for my parts that are still good?

I have used Aeron chairs at work before, but I wanted an Aeron chair for my home office.

I appreciate there are different sizes to accommodate people of different heights and weights.

I also was happy the chair came pre-assembled (in a really big box).

I have had my Aeron chair for approximately one month now and it works great.

I love my new chair!!! It's easy to use and I feel supported. Thank you!

This is a great Aeron Chair! Very comfortable and a great value!

I upgraded to all of the extra features except the head rest. I sit all day working from home sitting in front of a computer. I needed a chair that can be easily adjusted when it comes to seat height, arm rest up, down, inward, and outward. Most importantly this chair's seat adjusts with the back position being able to have me leaning in a forward position; which prevents me from leaning back, slumped in the chair. The lumbar feature is also great helping me stay comfortable and sitting up straight. It may be considered by some people very expensive but if you sit a lot while working it's worth the price.

This chair is a replacement for the over 10 year old Aeron chair I have owned.

From my first phone call to your customer service number to the delivery and use of my new Aeron chair, I have enjoyed complete satisfaction in the whole process. The person I spoke with regarding the new features of the Aeron chair, the build and delivery process and the pricing and purchase terms was professional, knowledgeable and very helpful. I was anxious to get a new chair, but your staff explained the time needed to custom build and ship the chair, so I was convinced to spend the extra time to get exactly what I wanted. Well worth the short extra time needed. I took advantage of the inside delivery feature and on the scheduled date the chair was delivered in a very large carton (no assembly required!) which I would not have been able to handle myself. The carton was opened, I was asked to inspect the chair, try out the features, etc. Perfect! The delivery service removed the carton and packing material, and I was able to enjoy my new Herman Miller Aeron Chair. I am over 76 years old, and spend a lot of time using the chair, and it is even more comfortable and adjustable than my old chair. In a world of foreign outsourcing, its great to see a top rated product designed, and built in the US. My thanks to the professionals at Herman Miller for this great chair.

My boss has had 2 back surgeries and we bought the Aeron chair about 3 years ago. He has been extremely pleased and comfortable, in the business office, using the chair. So, when his office at home was being renovated, he insisted on having this chair for that office as well. He is again extremely pleased with the comfort but even better, the decorator was pleased that we did not have to settle for black!

This is my second Aeron chair. The first one was finally unrepairable after 15 years so I purchased another. Given that one's mattress is the most important piece of furniture (...in that we spend, or should spend 7 - 8 hours a day there) to own, one's desk chair is probably the second most important piece of furniture one should have.

Hands down one of the best chairs I have ever sat on. No brainer.

The C model is perfect for my 6'3" height with long legs. Very comfortable and supportive. Great ergonomics.
