The mesh is the point
Cushioned chairs get hot and compress over the years; the Aeron’s suspension mesh does neither. Across a long day you stay cool and the support feels identical at hour nine as at hour one. If you sit for a living, check the Amazon price — including certified-refurbished.

PostureFit SL vs everything else
Most chairs push on your lumbar. The Aeron’s PostureFit SL also stabilizes the sacrum — the base of the spine — which is the mechanism that keeps you from slumping without thinking about it. It’s the single feature worth paying for. Executives with a history of back pain buy the loaded config on Amazon.

Size and the refurb route
Get the size right (B fits most adults; C is the large). A new one is expensive; Herman Miller and authorized sellers list certified-refurbished Aerons with a 12-year warranty for a lot less. Compare new vs refurb on the Amazon listing.
