Hi, My wife's a physio and an ergonomist and doesn't rate the Aeron that highly.
The lumbar supports slip out of place pretty easily - true. Front bar below the thighs can isn't great for circulation if your feet aren't placed properly. They're not too bad if you're a large build, but not great for smaller builds. That said, I do use one myself that I bought second hand for £200 a few years ago and find it comfortable enough generally. Site she recommends for good chairs are: http://www.asd.co.uk/ http://www.posturite.co.uk/ergonomic-chairs/ergonomic-office-chairs.html And of course, as I have had drummed into me many (many, many) times, it's your posture that counts. No point having a good chair if you slouch or aren't sitting properly or have badly placed monitors, keyboards etc. Have a good weekend all, Adam. ________________________________ From: Paul Griswold <pgrisw...@fusiondigitalproductions.com> To: "softimage@listproc.autodesk.com" <softimage@listproc.autodesk.com> Sent: Friday, 25 January 2013, 14:25 Subject: Re: OT: Ergonomic chairs I must be one of the few people who don't like Aeron chairs. In fact I hate all mesh chairs. I've been searching for a decent non-mesh chair for a while. The problem I've had is nobody local carries anything good quality, and I really don't want to buy something without trying it out first. -Paul On Fri, Jan 25, 2013 at 9:05 AM, michael johansson <mich...@lowend.se> wrote: I also have two Aeron chairs since 1996, and they are still looks and feels as new, the way you can adjust it, change working positions and that you sit in a i net, make it very comfortable during summe.
