Sitting in the Aeron feels like the chair is working with you, not against you. The mesh seat and back conform to your body without sagging, and the PostureFit SL system actively supports your lower spine — especially noticeable during long workdays.
The tilt mechanism is smooth and intuitive, allowing micro‑adjustments that keep you moving without losing focus. Armrests adjust in every direction, which is a blessing for multi‑monitor setups or typing marathons.
While the price is steep, the Aeron is built to last. Many users report using theirs for over a decade with minimal wear.
