This was a well done review - from a content and delivery standpoint, mad props. You didn't wing it. From a "review" standpoint this is the standard to which all reviews should start. Most reviews are a feature demonstration or unboxing - those aren't reviews, rather simply restating features from the mfr. You on the other hand, gave pro's and con's and definitely addressed the needs of a wide audience. Was it most in depth review I've ever seen? Of course not. Can't do that in under 10 minutes. Point is, this was a great video. Thank you.
My review of your review of their review is positive. My review of my review of your review of their review is that it's more mildly amusing than it is helpful.
@@ClarkPotter My review of your review of my review of their review is that clever humor is always appreciated. My review of your review of your review is that it's an accurate review.
I have an Aeron at the office and I bought a Steelcase Leap for my home office. Comparing both chairs, I really enjoy my Leap in all areas: build, adjustibility, comfort.
Eery good description of pros and cons. I picked the Aeron Remastered and all options. I’m 5’11” 180 lbs and B fits perfectly. I suffer coccyx pain and bought it to help my recovery. I can indeed sit longer in this chairs than the Herman Miller Mirra and the pellicle mesh is much more forgiving and spreads out the pressure points much better than a cushion seat like on the leap and others such as the Humanscale. So I’m happy with my purchase. The 30 day free return alleviated any fears I had of it possibly not being the right fit.
Nice review. I just bought one of these because the world is coming to an end and I'm stuck working at home full time. Realized a couple days ago that my piece of $hit $99 Staples chair was completely wrecking my lower back. Did a quick google search and found this was the top 5 best chair by multiple reviews for lower back issues. Hopefully mine arrives before we all die from COVID19.
Hey just wanted to follow up on how does your back feel now after using the Aeron, i also have a piece of shit $200 "Gaming Chair" (NEVER BUY THESE AGAIN!) and i've been working fulltime from home for years now, but since the lockdown i started having terrible low back pain, its mainly due to lack of activity but am almost certain the chair is also a culprit here, so, care to share your Aeron experience please ?
I'm just turning 20 but thought a chair might be a good investment for later in life.. whatever job I have I'll almost always have a desk and a chair in my house. Especially with the 12-year warranty, some people are even saying it can last much longer if looked after.
Harry Phillips You should absolutely go for it, you can get a refurbished Aeron for $500 -$600 on ebay. I wish I would have done it when I was your age instead of buying $200 chairs at Staples every two years. You’ll save money in the long run too.
I purchased 5 different chairs by using online reviews. I had to return them all. I know it hurts the companies who have to process these used chairs but it’s online. Their profits are outrageously amazing. And I’m also too insecure to purchase from brick and mortar. Those guys are really knowledgeable but I’d rather make my complaints to customer service on a keyboard. I just feel more confident when I email my concerns. Gives me more time to think and research.
@@btodtv agreed. These are professionals selling you these chairs they understand the different features and will ask you questions to understand your needs and make a professional recommendation. A chair is grossly underrated piece of office furniture. It's something you sit on hours a day, daily for months/years. The investment is well worth your health.
had mine for 6 months. biggest con. if you sit in this chair for several days on end with no other physical activity, part of your leg/s will feel numb for hours afterward and you will walk funny for awhile. biggest pro-my back pain is gone. after a couple days of use, i was able to crack my back. felt so good
I’m curious how do you sit? Do you place your back completely to the back of the chair? My back hasn’t gone away sadly :( I’d suggest maybe buying a seat cushion, I heard it help some people with a similiar problem to yours
I bought one recently, simply because fabric turns disgusting after a year or so and foam squishes and also turns disgusting after a while. I now literally spend more time on my PC chair than on my bed. I also use the PC on a pretty upward position. I chose the Aeron because of two things, the all mesh build. I really don't want to deal disgusting fabric, and really don't want to bother with maintenance; and the forward tilt. When I tested it with forward tilt, my back felt relaxed and at ease. However, I did buy the chair one size bigger. According to the chart a B size would have worked for me. But since I also sit with my legs open when sitting straight, my thighs were bumping with the frame. When I sat on the C, I had all of the comfort and none of the rubbing with the frame. Long story short, just buy it one size larger if you want to commit. I also had an amazing deal on the chair from my local retailer. The chair with the same specifications as the one on this video, costed me 900 dollars, new.
I'm 6'2" and 240lbs... I'm a powerlifter. Should I buy a size C Aeron instead of an Embody? I'm torn between the two, but I've never sat in an Embody. All stores are closed because of COVID.
Can the standard adjustable Lumbar support be installed on a Remastered Aeron that's factory equipped with the Y-shaped Posturefit SL? I've heard Herman Miller uses a different framework on the Remastered Aerons to accommodate the Posturefit SL mounting mechanism. Would be nice to be able to swap between the different back supports on the Aerons.
Torn between the Aeron and the Leap and one of the big differences looks like it's the rocking motion. Aeron appears to have a very nice recline/rocking motion while Leap doesn't. However, you can get the Leap with a headrest, but the Aeron you can't. Tough call.
It’s true, the Aeron is much better if you plan to rock back and forth. Personally, I prefer the feel of the Leap for upright tasking. If a headrest is what you’re after, the Leap or Gesture will be your best options from Steelcase. -GK
the Mirra is better, , It is 8 years newer and more refined...you can also adjust the width of the armrest. One thing you will notice is, It has a smoother tilting mechanism...Aeron is older and a better seller, but is not as comfy as the Mirra ..
Assuming the Arron scored better on the useability (since it has three sizes and isn't one size fits all), what would the overall score look like? Would it be #1?
The Aeron is a great chair, but it would need to score better in more than just that category to be ranked #1 overall in our list. Here is a link to our post which shows the table and scores: www.btod.com/blog/best-office-chair-reviews/#compare. This will give you a better idea how all of the chairs scored in the list. - GK
Hi random question, I just purchased one and when I sit down, it seems to do a slight bounce down and when I stand up, it does a slight bounce up. Is that expected?
I'm pretty heavy, I hate the chair cushion getting squished over time and i start to feel the hard plastic or metals parts on the bottom of the chair, it hurts my butt, and my lower back.. Are these premium chairs going to be the same?
High end chairs will typically have better quality foam and/or mesh, which helps to make them more comfortable and last longer. This is not a blanket statement for all higher end chairs but it will hold true for the majority. -RB
I've been so confused seeing this chair at the top of everyone's list of great chairs. We have these in my office, I don't think one has lasted longer than two years so far, the frame snaps, their support has been difficult to deal with, I hear second hand as I don't do the warranty calls. I'm reading opposite things to what I experienced. In my search for a new chair for my now home office it is frustrating..
That’s interesting. We see many of them available in the used market over 20 years old, still holding up well. Typically they need some replacement arm pads, lumbar pads, casters and/or cylinders. Otherwise, the frames, mechs and mesh hold up really well considering their age -GK
buy once cry once. why i did't just do this after one lousy chair after the rest. i'll check in when i get my brand new Aeron but i'm just hoping that it will really give my lumbar the kind of pressure and stability i need. i tried everything else....
I am 5'10 and only 140 pounds some people say its to low for them whey are around 5'8-5'11 but I don't weight so much. Should I get the B version or look for another chair. I am not able to try one in a store since there are none where I live.
The size B option should be the size to best fit you. The seat height range is 16" - 20.5", which is good for 95% of the population. I am 5'9" and have no problem finding a comfortable seat height. One really nice thing about the Aeron is that you can return it within the first 30 days for a full refund. Just hold on to the packaging and use it for a couple weeks to find out if it is the right chair for you. Here is a sizing chart from Herman Miller: www.hermanmiller.com/content/dam/hermanmiller/documents/product_literature/other/ap_sizefitref_classic_aeron_chairs.pdf. -RB
@@btodtv that's true but atleast the farts will travel through the seat down to the floor hence, you won't smell it. Can't speak for the poor guy/gal next to you. 💩👃
Not cheap, I know! But when you put it up against 20+ other chairs, you can see why it is priced there. There are quite a few alternatives, they just won't offer the same level of build quality. - GK
Found mine on craigslist for $150 it's brand new. I'm bringing it home today actually. And yes its a Herman Miller Aeron B Size. You're paying for the warranty when you buy them from the store that why that $1,200 still Makes sense despite it sounding insane. Regular/ office chairs are gonna run you around $200 and they only last around 2 years before they start falling apart and/or become extremely uncomfortable. So thats $100 a year just to have a plain marry Jane chair. Aeron has a 12 year warranty so even at $1,200 your only paying that same $100 a year for a chair that is WAY more comfortable for extremely long sitting periods and you don't have the headache of having to shop for a new chair every 2 years.
Just checked the size chart for the chair and im in that weird “B or C” category and since i cant try the chair im hesitant to make my purchase online right now..... any idea which size i should get if im 6”2 171 pounds? (188cm 77-78kg)
Hi, quick question, can you lock the chair in forward tilt position? I tried the chair and I think you can but the salesperson said I couldn't. I think you do it by engaging the forward tilt (front knob), then turning the back knob forward. Can anyone confirm if this is actually a feature (quite important for me). This would essentially create a fourth level of tilt adjustment. I need it for intense gaming (I know)
Thank you. Only, I’ve been disappointed with the Herman Miller customer service experience. I felt misled in purchasing a used chair and it was impossible to speak with anyone. Finally, after waiting six+ weeks, I did receive it. Next time, I’m going to buy an X-Chair.
We do have a video comparison of the Aeron vs the Embody, but the Cosm is such a different style chair it makes it a little more difficult to compare against one of these highly adjustable chairs. It is something we will consider making though. Hopefully watching our Cosm Review and the Aeron vs Embody comparison will be helpful in making a buying decision. Thanks for the suggestions, always interested in what people are looking for! - RG ruclips.net/video/z-27uj7pOCc/видео.html ruclips.net/video/FX1K9p0E384/видео.html
I sit a lot because I have no life. No seriously. I've had this chair for a year and it looks brand new. When I had problems with loose stitching on my leather arm rests, Herman Miller shipped out brand new ones to me immediately.
I don't have the chair but from what I read online, it's part of the back rest so you're probably going to need a new back rest of you don't want the posture fit sl.
I am not sure how many. I do not believe they make that information public, but the Aeron is one of, if not the most, popular office chairs in the world. -RB
That's great...because they manufacture total of a million chairs a year...but since aeron is one of best l, I'm wondering how many out of the million will be aeron..
Yes you can bench 501lbs + your 🐕 if you get this chair. Also, the chair will increase your knowledge, awareness, reaction speed in ALL FPS games like Overwatch, COD, PUBG, CSGO etc. You will be an Esports celebrity with an investment of Herman Miller Aeron.
The Chinese replicas I have seen (while in China) are not even close in quality or how smoothly they function. I would be careful if you find something locally that is knocked off. - GK
@@btodtv Yea I wouldn't imagine they would be the same quality at a much lower price. But it's all about hitting that sweet spot before the extra cash is diminishing returns. For example I have found $150 Chinese brand headphones that sound better than some $400 headphones from a much bigger brand. But if you buy $50 headphones it will always be far lower quality.
@@DocRealTalk The sweet spot is going to be closer to $400-$500. You can get a chair that comes with a solid warranty, good components and comfort that will last for years to come. - GK
The Aeron is expensive and definitely carries a higher price tag because of the brand name, but 60 max isn't even close to the real cost to producing a chair of this quality. - GK
@@megaman2127 Hard to say since comfort is so subjective. If I were personally looking for a chair to offer good support over long hours, I would have a hard time picking a Serta chair over an Aeron. If you're looking for a big cushy pillow top chair, the Serta products are going to be a better fit than an Aeron. - GK
Should have tried it out before I made the purchase, worst investment ever and completely ripped off. The back is too low, and there are too many pressure points from the steel frame. Arm rest could have been bigger, and the mesh traps dust which is a nightmare to anyone with sensitive skin. This is basically Dyson in chairs, you overpay for the brand effect and cool factor, if you want something comfortable and quality go with leather and tick foam.
Sorry to hear that! I am not a huge fan of the Aeron myself, but there are quite a few in the office that like it. Hopefully you bought it from a place that offers easy returns. - GK
It’s blows my mind that this is 1200$. This chair better cure damn cancer, scoliosis, world hunger, and bring peace to the Middle East. How in the hell, is a mesh chair 1200 damn dollars bro 😂
Good quality products come with higher price tags. There are a lot of high quality components on this product. It is Made in the USA with skilled labor and it comes with the best office chair warranty in the industry. It is a high end chair and will cost you more upfront but there is certainly an argument to made that this chair will cost less on a yearly basis than lower end chairs that need to be replaced every few years or so. It doesn't "cure damn cancer, scoliosis, world hunger, and bring peace to the Middle East.", but neither does an iPhone and people are more than willing to pay $1000 for a product that will only last a couple years before it is obsolete. -RB
Dakotalitz it just seems weird that someone would spend that much on an office chair. I have no problem spending $200+ on pocket knives though. It’s all about what you value
BTOD.com i meant which is better or more comfortable im looking at a mirra 1 excellent condition for 150 hope its as great as a aeron in the same model era
My apologies, I didn't understand the question. We haven't formally reviewed the Mirra, so I'm not sure if it is better or more comfortable. We have tried a few Poly back style chairs and they are quite a bit different than a mesh or upholstered backrest. If you haven't had a chance to sit it in beforehand, I would highly recommend trying to do so.
The core of the backrest on the Mirra will still be made from the Poly material. Unfortunately, we haven't had enough experience sitting in that chair yet to say if it is more or less comfortable. Hopefully, we will get it into the office for testing at some point this year. If you decide to purchase it, definitely let us know what you think. I'm sure everyone will appreciate the feedback!

For the Aeron: anyone have an opinion if the leather arms are worth the upgrade? What are the benenfits / downsides? Thanks.
You can find these used on Facebook Market Place 350-650. Just picked one up and it's great.
Will plastic creak more than aluminum? I'm trying to decide between all-Graphite and Graphite with polished aluminum.

Regular/ office chairs are gonna run you around $200 and they only last around 2 years before they start falling apart and/or become extremely uncomfortable. So thats $100 a year just to have a plain marry Jane chair. Aeron has a 12 year warranty so even at $1,200 your only paying that same $100 a year for a chair that is WAY more comfortable for extremely long sitting periods and you don't have the headache of having to shop for a new chair every 2 years.
thats as much as an iphone. but these have 12 year warranties. how many 12 year old iphones are still being used.
Facts -GK
Really wish the seat depth was adjustable. For those of us with long legs,this chair can be quite uncomfortable .
I agree, while they have three sizes, you can’t fine tune like you should be able to with high end ergonomic chairs. -GK
Solid chair, but hate the bottom. It can sag a little overtime and the plastic rim under the thighs is uncomfortable.
Just checked the size chart for the chair and im in that weird “B or C” category and since i cant try the chair im hesitant to make my purchase online right now..... any idea which size i should get if im 6”2 171 pounds? (188cm 77-78kg)
You are an edge case, so I would stick to the B, since you have a slim build. If you weighed 230+ lbs, I would say to make the jump to the size C. -GK
So does chair size relate to width of the chair or does the back height also change? Also is A the smallest size?
Back height also changes. A is smallest, then B, then C is largest
I'm really thinking about getting this chair but I'm stuck on what size I should get... how tall are you?
I am 5'9". -RB
Hi, quick question, can you lock the chair in forward tilt position? I tried the chair and I think you can but the salesperson said I couldn't. I think you do it by engaging the forward tilt (front knob), then turning the back knob forward. Can anyone confirm if this is actually a feature (quite important for me). This would essentially create a fourth level of tilt adjustment. I need it for intense gaming (I know)
Yes, this was important to me and i tried it in the store.
My Aeron Chair bought from the Herman Miller store in Japan was made in china, was a bit surprised...
inyue has to be fake imo. They’re made in Michigan USA
What alternatives do u suggest?
Are you looking for all mesh alternatives, or would you be interested in other upholstery types for the seat? - GK
@@btodtv Id like to see other mesh alternatives but like chairs that won't burn my wallet haha
@@johndevadhas4787 We just posted the top 6 Aeron alternatives ruclips.net/video/UAdayeUQ9fM/видео.html. 5 of the 6 are less expensive options. - GK
Best chair EVER!
Took delivery of an Aeron recently. Disappointed in the product. Disgusted with customer service.
Excellent ❗️ Thank you!!!
You’re welcome! -GK
Thank you. Only, I’ve been disappointed with the Herman Miller customer service experience. I felt misled in purchasing a used chair and it was impossible to speak with anyone. Finally, after waiting six+ weeks, I did receive it. Next time, I’m going to buy an X-Chair.
make more videos on the cosm!
Is there anything specific you would like to know more about on the Cosm? - RG
Differenece between leaf and adjsutable, and compare to aeron and embody, maybe even compare low mid and high backs!
We do have a video comparison of the Aeron vs the Embody, but the Cosm is such a different style chair it makes it a little more difficult to compare against one of these highly adjustable chairs. It is something we will consider making though. Hopefully watching our Cosm Review and the Aeron vs Embody comparison will be helpful in making a buying decision. Thanks for the suggestions, always interested in what people are looking for! - RG

@@btodtv hoping for a new vid soon
I sit a lot because I have no life. No seriously. I've had this chair for a year and it looks brand new. When I had problems with loose stitching on my leather arm rests, Herman Miller shipped out brand new ones to me immediately.
Awesome that it has worked out so well for you! Thanks for sharing your experience! - RB
Best review ever,come here to see forward sit test,thanks
Good job!!! Thanks you.
Thank you!
Who’s here after reading ‘Blink’?
Anyone know how to take the posturefit sl off the remastered chairs?
I don't have the chair but from what I read online, it's part of the back rest so you're probably going to need a new back rest of you don't want the posture fit sl.
Orbow why would you want to get rid of it?
I saw birmingham airport all use these chairs for their security bots
How many do they manufacture in a year i mean this aeron chair
I am not sure how many. I do not believe they make that information public, but the Aeron is one of, if not the most, popular office chairs in the world. -RB
That's great...because they manufacture total of a million chairs a year...but since aeron is one of best l, I'm wondering how many out of the million will be aeron..
it sucks.. it gives my hamstring major spasms up to my sciatica badly design
Sorry to hear that! -GK
Best chair i own
Great to hear. Thank you for the feedback! - GK
thanks for sharing!
You're welcome! - GK
Ah yes. Perfect chair if it wasn't an arm and leg's worth.
It's got a solid resale market, you can get a fully upgraded used chair for around $500
Don't forget to add finger nails to that 💅
DOES IT MAKE ME BETTER AT LEAGUE AND CAN I BENCH 500 POUNDS IS THE QUESTION? IM ALPHA AF
Maybe? If it doesn't, they have a good return policy. Good luck! - GK
Yes you can bench 501lbs + your 🐕 if you get this chair.
Also, the chair will increase your knowledge, awareness, reaction speed in ALL FPS games like Overwatch, COD, PUBG, CSGO etc. You will be an Esports celebrity with an investment of Herman Miller Aeron.
hate the wheels
1000 seriously how are they in business
Is there a Chinese replica of this yet?
I'm willing to pay like $200 if China can get it down to that lol
But over $1000 for a chair is a joke.
The Chinese replicas I have seen (while in China) are not even close in quality or how smoothly they function. I would be careful if you find something locally that is knocked off. - GK
@@btodtv Yea I wouldn't imagine they would be the same quality at a much lower price. But it's all about hitting that sweet spot before the extra cash is diminishing returns. For example I have found $150 Chinese brand headphones that sound better than some $400 headphones from a much bigger brand. But if you buy $50 headphones it will always be far lower quality.
@@DocRealTalk The sweet spot is going to be closer to $400-$500. You can get a chair that comes with a solid warranty, good components and comfort that will last for years to come. - GK
@@DocRealTalk get a used or a refurnished one, you will never get the same quality for 200$. Buy a refurnished one for 500-600$.
renewable energy you say, soo eco so bad...
Prob cost them 60 bucks max
The Aeron is expensive and definitely carries a higher price tag because of the brand name, but 60 max isn't even close to the real cost to producing a chair of this quality. - GK
BTOD.com is this more comfortable than a serta chair?
@@megaman2127 Hard to say since comfort is so subjective. If I were personally looking for a chair to offer good support over long hours, I would have a hard time picking a Serta chair over an Aeron. If you're looking for a big cushy pillow top chair, the Serta products are going to be a better fit than an Aeron. - GK
BTOD.com do they make anything under 500?
They have the Sayl and Lino chairs. These are available from $500 to $750 on Herman Miller's store. - GK
Should have tried it out before I made the purchase, worst investment ever and completely ripped off. The back is too low, and there are too many pressure points from the steel frame. Arm rest could have been bigger, and the mesh traps dust which is a nightmare to anyone with sensitive skin. This is basically Dyson in chairs, you overpay for the brand effect and cool factor, if you want something comfortable and quality go with leather and tick foam.
Sorry to hear that! I am not a huge fan of the Aeron myself, but there are quite a few in the office that like it. Hopefully you bought it from a place that offers easy returns. - GK
i dont give a fuck about the environmental impact of a chair
Okay 😂 -GK
$1800 for a shitty office chair !! Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
It’s blows my mind that this is 1200$. This chair better cure damn cancer, scoliosis, world hunger, and bring peace to the Middle East. How in the hell, is a mesh chair 1200 damn dollars bro 😂
Good quality products come with higher price tags. There are a lot of high quality components on this product. It is Made in the USA with skilled labor and it comes with the best office chair warranty in the industry. It is a high end chair and will cost you more upfront but there is certainly an argument to made that this chair will cost less on a yearly basis than lower end chairs that need to be replaced every few years or so.
It doesn't "cure damn cancer, scoliosis, world hunger, and bring peace to the Middle East.", but neither does an iPhone and people are more than willing to pay $1000 for a product that will only last a couple years before it is obsolete. -RB
Are any of you being serious wtf
Yes, of course. Office chairs are big investment. We are serious about what we do. - GK
BTOD.com this is all so bizarre to me but you do you I guess
@@mythowrose2742 what s not serious?
Dakotalitz it just seems weird that someone would spend that much on an office chair. I have no problem spending $200+ on pocket knives though. It’s all about what you value
@@mythowrose2742 It s one of the best of the world
Definitely not worth the price
Aeron or mirra?
This is the Aeron. The Mirra has a Poly back (plastic).
BTOD.com i meant which is better or more comfortable im looking at a mirra 1 excellent condition for 150 hope its as great as a aeron in the same model era
My apologies, I didn't understand the question. We haven't formally reviewed the Mirra, so I'm not sure if it is better or more comfortable. We have tried a few Poly back style chairs and they are quite a bit different than a mesh or upholstered backrest. If you haven't had a chance to sit it in beforehand, I would highly recommend trying to do so.
BTOD.com well the one im looking at has both that mesh and the other kind
The core of the backrest on the Mirra will still be made from the Poly material. Unfortunately, we haven't had enough experience sitting in that chair yet to say if it is more or less comfortable. Hopefully, we will get it into the office for testing at some point this year.
If you decide to purchase it, definitely let us know what you think. I'm sure everyone will appreciate the feedback!
