Herman Miller Aeron Chair, Size B, Fully Loaded

I’ve sat in a fully loaded Aeron (size B) for nearly three years now, and the remastered FX model continues to earn its spot in my office. PostureFit SL actually locks my lumbar and sacrum in place instead of letting me slouch, and the 8Z Pellicle mesh keeps air flowing during marathon code reviews. I rotate between upright typing, reclined reading, and video calls; the tension knob and forward tilt make each posture one twist away. Herman Miller’s updated arm caps stay put even when I rest elbows on the desk, and the glass-filled frame still looks brand new despite daily shifts. Maintenance has been painless—I vacuum the mesh monthly and tightened the tilt limiter once. The price still stings, but considering the 12-year warranty and the fact that it eliminated the lower-back aches my cheaper chairs caused, it remains the best gear upgrade I’ve purchased.
