Herman Miller Aeron Chair - Page 2

If you are tall or have long femurs, the standard size one isn't so great. I've heard there is a large sized one, but I've never sat in one. I had one at SGI that was standard and I ended up rejecting it. Less tall people loved it.

Use the sizing chart on their website. It's very accurate. I'm tall, 6' 2" and so I'm using a size C and it's oh so comfy

I went through a bunch of cheap chairs, love my Aeron, but if I was buying one now I'd buy a Mirra. Self-adjusting.

Wanna know how to check an Aeron for size? Hand under the edge at the top of the back, there's either one two or three bumps. A-B-C with C the biggest.

I have a B though A would be the right size, I like to sit Indian-style sometimes. The ventilated/mesh is the BEST!

I have a $50 coupon good (on amount over $150) at officedesigns.com if anyone needs it just holler. They have all sorts of stuff there.

I was lucky enough to be completely surprised this Christmas. A friend of mine found a very nice used Aeron chair, with leather armrests too. I have had it about ten days now and I really am enjoying it and wonder why I did not buy one sooner. I guess there was that sticker shock I could not get around. My only difficulty is undoing the setup I had created to compensate for my old chairs un-ergonomic ways. So far it is a lot better and much cooler to sit it, hopefully summer will be more comfortable this year.

Hmmm because you didn't LISTEN to me?

Even with 10% off they are still really expensive.

Yes, but this butt is worth it.

I used an Aeron at my old job and thought it was good. But I am a smaller guy and I think the size they had was one size up from what I really needed. Now I have a Freedom Chair in front of my computer and man, I love it. I look forward to sitting in it and then I don't want to get up. I have the model without the headrest.

Great question for this crowd! I went shopping 8 or 9 years and thought the Steelcase Criterion fit me better then the Herman Miller chairs. It also is indestructible! Sent it in for a checkup 2 years ago, no charge! None of these chairs are cheap, but your back and a lifetime warranty is worth it.
You really have to try these chairs "on" before you buy!
