New “gaming” chair, Herman Miller Aeron Chair. Hopefully I made the right decision because it was a hefty investment for a chair.

Damn, those are expensive.. Good for you
You made the right choice. Enjoy it
Definitely did enjoy an actual chair your ass and back will thank you
I got mine a week ago. 10 years straight sitting on awful chairs, I don’t regret my purchase one bit.
Good office chairs are always superior to branded “Gaming” chairs.
you probably find it uncomfortable in the beginning. keep on, ut will be worth it
Welcome to the club.
It’s best to set your expectations right from the start.
It’s not like floating on a cloud.
You won’t replace your recliner with this.
But you will never think about your chair while gaming, ever again.
Your back is worth at least two grand dude
Your neck is also worth at least two bills
You wont regret it i have the same setup and god damn im losing body muscle cuz i sit down for so long all day now
How do you find the headrest? I have the same setup and can’t seem to find it comfortable.
Anyone know a decent brand that sells similar chair but are more affordable?
Nice, my dream. But goddamn, it costs slighty more than I make in a month.:D
This chair looks like it won’t retain the farts. My chair has 21 years of farts saved up in it, so on a hot day, if I sit down too fast, everyone in the room knows it.
I really need to know how you feel about it in a few days. Thinking of the same
How much was it?
so much better than these “gaming” chairs.
looks great.
Does Herman Miller make a cross-legged friendly chair? This chair would destroy my feet from the edges.
Nice, I got the Herman Miller Embody
Love my Herman Miller chair!
I have a similar chair and its wonderful 😊
Depending on the game you should get somewhere between 10-20% more fps.
im jelly no more sweaty ass n back just pure comfort
Your back and general posture will benefit from this, congratulations!
Is buying these used a good idea? I have a hard time justifying the money for a new one.
I am looking to buy the vantum myself
I have this exact same chair. It’s a good one. Sitting in it right now, haha.
About to upgrade my desk chair… I sat in one of the Serta brand chairs… I’m in love!
Aeron Master Race! What’s up with the armwrests
For me it’s definitely too expensive, 75% too expensive.
But “officially” I won’t buy it, because it is made of mesh and my parrots fly free and shit on it terribly, and I know from experience that such mesh is impossible to wash properly.
Office chair better than gaming chair all day
My Herman Miller is the best purchase I’ve made in my gaming setup.
As long as your aren’t extremely heavy it should last a good while and be comfortable, my cousin is on the heavy side and his mesh stretched on him after a few months so there’s that to think about
Worth it. I got a used one 20 years ago. I replaced the arm rests a couple years ago. I feel like at this point I’ll be able to pass it down to my kids.
I love my chair, I got it for $85 at a thrift shop.
I thought it was a little pricey, but I really wanted one with adjustable arm rests and fully mesh.
It is definitelt worth it, even if mine came without the neck rest, but I never use it anyway.
Is there anything special I need to know about this chair otherwise?
My aeron literally changed my life. I did alot of cycling and weightlifting but I was in a lot of pain doing both these and thought I’d damaged my back somewhere in those activities (but had the idea it was gaming sessions that were crippling me). I couldn’t pick my kids up, putting shoes and socks on was a painful nightmare and if I ended up in the floor getting up was a serious effort because each evening while I played I was sat on shit chairs. Got the aeron and I’m completely cured, no more back problems at all and I’m living all my hobbies with new gusto. If it breaks ill buy another.
I have this chair and my ass goes numb after an hour and I really wish the arm rests were soft gel or breathable memory foam.
Bro is gonna become an expert in MS Excel
Check out used office furniture stores. I have 2 Herman Miller Aeron’s, both purchased used (in great shape) for $225 each.
I was planning to get one of these but i’m not sure if it can hold my weight (100KG). It probably can, but I feel like it’s gonna tear. I went for the secret labs instead which gets a bit warm after some time.
Goddamn this sub loves to jerk off about this chair so much
It is ok. I prefer embody myself.
Put some roller blade casters on mine. Pretty neat.
Its a nice chair. Personally i was intrigued too as its rated for use 24/7.
But i sat in one and the back is too short. It goes just to the worst spot on my shoulder blades, so ive decided to get the Embody instead, as its much more comfortable for me (im 190 cm)
It’s like getting a 4090. Worth it? Debatable. Is it good? Undebatably so.
I have a chinese knock off of that chair, a third the price but somehow same quality, it’s an awesome chair
I just got the Embodyxlogitech one. I love the chair but got to get used to it. If I don’t like it by the end of the 30 days, I may return it to get a Aeron.
Use a Mirra at work and I love the seat, the hard back rest can fuck right off though.
This chair caused me issues at work, others swear by it. Hopefully it’s good for you!
I have used this chair at work for about 9 hours a day, five days a week for almost 9 years. No issues. Good investment.
