Aeron Ergonomic Chair - Size C, Mineral

It was tough to pay full price, but this is one of the finest items I have ever purchased!! The quality, precision and detail are amazing. The Mineral color is beautiful, and it is a nice change from dark colors.The comfort has surpassed my expectations!!! I have never had an Aeron chair, so my experience is only with this newer version. I wanted the latest version that is updated, with the research done on sitting over the last two decades by the company. I am sitting more now at my computer and I was starting to be very uncomfortable in my old chair which had started to feel like a brick. It was good quality, but I have had it a very long time. There is no comparison--this chair is supportive, makes you want to maintain good posture and responds to your body. I am glad I went for the adjustable version for the best fit. The ongoing discomfort I have been experiencing recently while sitting at my computer, has resolved almost immediately. I spent hours researching ergonomic chairs, and all roads kept leading back to Herman Miller Aeron. I figured this purchase is like a bed--I spend significant time in it so I want it to be good for my aging body. It will last for many years.

WOW! This is an amazing update to the already incomparable herman miller aeron chair! Love the light color (looks very neutral), feel, everything about this. Posture fit is incredible with the lumbar support it provides. Also all the adjustments make this chair truly an overachiever in ergonomic comfort and support. My hubby and I are both tall - I'm 5'11" and he's 6'2" with a sturdy build so the C size is perfect. We feel like we're floating while sitting on this chair. No pressure spots whatsoever... Forward tilt for active typists, tilt limiter for those that need a bit of recline but don't want to be totally on your back... adjustable arms - side for support while using the mouse and inward whilst typing as well as up and down, forward and back (just incredible)... and the movements are so smooth and intuitive! The casters are SILENT as they roll smoothly from our hardwood to area rugs! this is SUCH an amazing purchase for us as both my husband and I work from home quite often. I only wish we could afford 2 so we wouldn't have to share! HA! This model is a wonderful buy and the delivery was SUPER fast! If you're looking for a great Aeron with all the features... BUY IT NOW!

When I was looking around for a new office chair I knew I needed to get the Herman Miller Aeron. Working as a software developer I sit for long hours at my desk and I need proper support for my back. At my last job, everyone was provided a Herman Miller Aeron (though it was not this newer model), and I fell in love with this chair. I could sit for 5 hours plus and not feel any pain or numbness in my back or legs. The support this chair provides is out of this world, especially for the lumbar. I am 6'2 200 pounds and this chair doesn't have any issues supporting me and I feel like I am floating in it. The features this chair provides are also fantastic. I especially love how I can adjust the back to force me to sit upright and close to my keyboard in perfect posture. To be honest, there is nothing like this. I've heard that some people don't like the mesh cushion (which can be a preference thing), but if you do like it you cannot go back to any other ordinary office chair. You will feel the difference immediately. Going back to my desk, I actually look forward to sitting long hours in my chair. This chair may be pricey, but the way I justify it, it's like buying a new mattress. You don't want to skimp out on something you utilize so frequently. If you work at a desk for long hours, you need proper support, else you can damage yourself in the long term. The benefits outweighed the cost for me and I don't regret spending the extra dollars for this. If this chair does last me over 12 years like warranty states, its money well spent.

Ok... it's perfect! For me... I mean it simply isn't going to work for everyone. I've sat in everything popular and while they all have super strong merits, this is a standard for a reason. PLEASE take your time and watch a video on adjusting the new one. It's different, period. If you get the fully open "float" just right with the tension, it's almost like a tailored chair. The quality is top notch. Nothing feels like it was made in China like every other "high-end" ergo chair. The color of this mineral is striking and so beautiful! And hey! Farting is just easier with the pellicle mesh. Am I right?!?

This is the 2nd Aeron chair I bought - the first one was on its official website a few months ago and this one is from Amazon. It looked like a good deal here: the "same" configuration but can save you about $100. However when I receive the chair I noticed the difference very soon - it's the material of the base. The one purchased from the official website is made of aluminum with a matte finish, but the new one uses a plastic base with a visually similar finish so they look really alike. And this explains why the "polished aluminum" option available on the official website does not exist here. They can't polish plastic to make it look like metal while they can produce matte-finished plastic easily. So if they want to add the "polished" color option here, they will have to use real aluminum and this will cause inconsistent prices among different colors. I don't want to say it's cheating, but it's definitely misleading that it tries to tell you that you've got a good deal here without explicitly state that the "deal" is due to cheaper materials on the base. With the $100 price difference I'd rather upgrade to the aluminum, matte-finished base.

Switching to working from home has caused me to not only be sitting more often, but to be sitting in my subpar desk chair. This has caused me to get lower back pain since it has no lumbar support and is not very ergonomic. In my search for a solution to the problem I have tried 3 other chairs: Steelcase Leap v2, Herman Miller Embody, Autonomous Ergochair 2. All of these chairs were OK but had major flaws in comfort for me, especially considering the first 2 are very expensive chairs. The Leap and Embody both reclined too far back which caused upper back pain. The ergochair 2 was definitely kind of cheap in construction and was only ergonomic fully upright. For me being kind of short and liking to sit upright the Aeron is the only chair that offers everything. And it is the only thing that has helped my lower back pain since lockdown.

I am 6' 7" and nearly 300 lbs. I did a ton of research and found on many websites, lists, and reviews that this was one of the top chairs for tall people. Guess I'm not within their definition of tall. In order for this chair to work for my build, it would need to be about 2" taller on the back, about 1-2" deeper on the seat, an inch or more taller in seat height, and about 2" wider on the seat. Had it been larger in these ways, it might have been a great chair for me. Pros: + The Mineral color provides for a gorgeous chair + I fully believe that this would be supportive and ergonomic if I actually fit in it + The tilt forward feature is great - maybe my favorite feature of it + Excellent build quality Cons: - No arm width adjustment - No seat depth adjustment - No back height adjustment - Maximum seat height for "size C" isn't enough - Not a particularly comfortable chair - Seat frame too small and pushes into legs in sides and front (for my size) - Top of the back frame makes leaning back uncomfortable Not necessarily knocking it for all these cons, as I knew most of these were quirks of the chair when I bought it. The main thing is that they claim someone my size (and larger even) should be comfortable in this chair, and I definitely was not. For what it is worth I tried the Steelcase Leap (V1 I think), and that one didn't really fit me well either. The search continues...

It came on time and in perfect condition. I love HM chairs. The best gift to your work from home experience. It is worth every penny if you need to work for 8 to 11 hrs sitting down.

Super comfortable! Good buy!
