I just bought an Aeron remastered and I noticed something very important I want to share. The size, A,B,C matters quite a bit it seems. I'm 6'1'' 175lbs, and I NEEDED a size C. In some reviews, I see people with their shoulders ABOVE the top of the backrest. The top of my shoulders are BELOW the top of the backrest with my C. This leads me to believe they are in a size B when then should be in a C. I think this is also what leads people to say the seat rim bothers the back of their legs. Another note is I have slim legs and I noticed there is not much space between my thighs and the rim of the seat. If I had bigger thighs, I can see this may be an issue, however for my size it cradles me perfectly. I can even cross my legs or put one foot up on the lip with no discomfort. The posture fit was something that needed to be dialed in (like everything on the Aeron) and it now feels great after I dialed in the tilt tension as well. Tilt tension I think may be the most important thing to getting the cloud like feel on the Aeron. It is based off your weight, which leads me to believe a larger person using a size B will have a less than optimal experience. In converse, my much smaller girlfriend cannot comfortably engage the lean on the size C. One last thing, on the Aeron the forward tilt feature is dope if you are a gamer that likes to lean forward on your keyboard and mouse. The Aeron follows me upright and forward and then all the way back when I die and stretch. The tilt tension adjust is truly the key to this chairs comfort. I have it dialed in to feel like a cloud and I am truly impressed. TLDR: The size of the Aeron seems to matter quite a bit, and I think more people need a size C than realize. I also think wider people may find something like the Embody more comfy due to the width of the size C Aeron being narrow. Hope this helps you fellow chair hunters! (I have the posture fit lumbar and I really needed to adjust both the tilt tension and lumbar tension to make it feel good. I sort of can just barely feel it and that seems to be the sweet spot. )

The saddest day in my professional career was when my office swapped out aerons for genero brand d-tier chairs.

Hey Dan, don't know if you've already done a video on this, but it would be interesting to see a video comparing the various lumbar support options for the aeron. e.g. no lumbar, posturefit SL, height adjustable lumbar, and the differences between the remastered and original lumbar support options. Thanks for the great Aeron content

I have always liked the Herman Miller Aeron Chair and have been familiar with all its features. I have seen two videos you posted and found them to be very thorough, detailed and informative. Thank you for a job well done. I am a new subscriber to your channel and I look forward to watching more videos from you.

Thank you for this video. Love your style and how you keep it very informational.

Beautiful design on this chair.

I like how much thought you put into the explanation of the chairs

Great review! Just ordered a full spec Aeron remastered. Was first looking at the Logitech Embody, but I'm not really into creaking noise..

Came back to your video to get the link and buy the chair new. After trying out the Aeron and the Embody in store, I personally prefer the Aeron (I thought I was going to be all over the Embody). Thank you for the quality reviews. Literally the only voice on YouTube I’ve found to be Ahnest™ and sincere. Going to definitely pick up the Atlas headrest for it as well!

Loving my Aeron Remastered with posture fit. I was A/B'ing it against the Leap v2 and ended up getting the Aeron from a local reseller.

Keep doing your vids, I enjoy your style and the way you make videos even if they are not fully relevant to me...I have been watching them in the background learning new stuff. :)

I opened Facebook Market right after your video and found fully loaded Herman Miller Aeron Classic just for $450. It's like new, nobody use it and were keeping it in a storage. Model 2014. Very nice chair. I'll test Classic and I'm going to buy another one later, but Remastered, brand new with aluminium base which is $1700+. I used the same chair at work in the office and it's amazing.

I'm moving to DC in a couple days and having this would really make a huge impact on my ability to work from home

Nice video. Comprehensive and thorough. Well done! Thanks.

I'm only 4'10 and this chair is perfect! 🤗I've been searching for Herman Miller's since I've been WFH. Best quality!!

Super excited thanks! Ahnestly can't wait few more hours to go for this giveaway, so far haven't found any cheap chair on Craigslist looks like people watch your video before posting the office chair.

awesome timing cause ive been looking for my aeron, definitely gotta look for some remastered ones.

I can get referb classic mk2 posturefit fully loaded for around £520 and a refurb remaster posturefit sl fully loaded from HM outlet for £980. Idk if its worth nearly double for remaster?

Great timing on this giveaway, because I'm in the market seeking this chair. Thanks for this!
