Aeron Tilt Limiter Task Chair, Adjustable Viny

Best chair ever

Posture Fit vs. Lumbar Got this one (with posture fit) for my home office. I have an identical one with lumbar support at my work office. I like to feel the support on my back. I feel the lumbar more than the posture fit. BUT, the lumbar support is felt all across the lower back, while posture fit is designed to keep your spine straight. I came across a report from a study comparing lumbar vs. posture fit using 80+ participants. The study found that posture fit improved their spine in most cases on most measurements. I am generally skeptical of studies like these, but after using posture fit for a couple of weeks I don't get that numb feeling in my back after sitting for a long time. So I like it more than lumbar. The caveat seems to be - you need to push your butt as far as you can against the back of the chair (the proper way of sitting). If you tend to sit on your lower back with your butt on the rim of the chair - no lumbar or posture fit will help you. It is not too hard to correct the posture, but it's definitely a conscious effort. Just an FYI. Construction of the Chair The chair is very sturdy and quiet when turn around, etc. You can definitely tell that it's top quality. Should last a very long time based on the feel of it and the history of Aerons. It has the standard Aeron adjustment features. Its mesh material is simply the best that I've tried. It's not cuddly like leather, but feels good and airs well, so you never have a sweaty back, etc. My Conclusion I honestly don't know how an office chair can get any better for my requirements: comfortable, good for back, sturdy, and quiet. The only thing that could improve it is a massager of the back (ok, I am kidding). Got it for $660 in "used - like new" condition. Perfect for the price.

Extremely comfortable. Supports my back really well. Excellent range of adjustments right where I want them. If the longevity of the chair is any good, I'll never buy the cheaper 'office chairs' again.

My job is in engineering, so I spend a lot of time at my desk in front of my computer. The various offices I have worked in had a majority of chairs being the Aeron, but I had a hard time justifying the cost of buying the chair for own use at home. $800+ is a lot to spend on a chair. After a few years of going through a few different chairs, I'm happy I bit the bullet and purchased one of these. Not everyone will find these chairs comfortable. It's always a matter of personal preference, but the comfort this chair provides is well worth the price. It's not leather, doesn't look like an executive chair, but after going through a few of those chairs (at $200 - 300 a piece) over the past few years, the cost added up and I could have bought an Aeron. The seat mesh doesn't support like memory foam does, but the chair as a whole is very supportive and I can sit for hours without any issues. Other chairs I would eventually get cramps in my legs or lower back, but I never experienced that with the Aeron, even after 10 hour workdays and then going home to this chair to work for a few hours more. The hardest thing to swallow is the initial price, but the warranty is good (although I haven't had to use it) and the chair is a complete workhorse. In the most recent office that I have worked in, I haven't seen any Aeron chairs replaced or worn out. The cheaper chairs only last two years or so before headed to the dumpster. I'm pretty sure there are plenty of Aeron chairs in my current office that are over a decade old. If you are buying a new computer chair every two or three years at a few hundred a chair, this will eventually pay for itself without your legs or back paying for it.

Excellent chair. Proper quality.
