I'm not Romey, but I do own an Aeron chair, and it is just as comfortable after 6 hours as when one first sits down. The chair is pricey, though - I bought mine several years ago for $600. Best money I ever spent for equipment, though. Hope this helps.

Hayseed - What's the latest on the Mira and Aeron chairs? Did you get to try out the Aeron chair
The butterfly type back support? Can't remember the exact name for it. Do you think the chairs are worth the money? Thanks.
Aeron chair
I went online and found the closest Herman Miller distributor (which happened to be Las Vegas for me) and drove there and picked it up. I have had a few people tell me they have seen them at Costco, but I am not sure if they are authorized distributors and if buying from them voids the warranty. Because it is such a big investment, my recommendation would be to buy from your closest authorized dealer (per the web site.) The shipping is what it is - but the main thing is to get your chair from a reputable dealer. -Dana
Aeron chair
I have one too and they are so worth it! My back used to kill me sitting for 10-12 hours a day. Now I never have that problem. I know they are expensive but if you can at all swing one, buy it! Think of it as an investment in your health.

Do you dislike your Aeron chair? I have thought about buying one.
Anyone have an Aeron chair/ Worth the ?? NM

I LOVE my Aeron chair!!!!
I've had mine for a little over a year and I really love it. It's SO comfortable and really helped my back pain. I think I paid a little over $900 for mine but it was worth every penny. I'm quite overweight and I really liked the fact that I could order it in the wider size and it fits my butt a lot better than most other chairs. 
Herman Miller Aeron Chair
It is the best chair money can buy. I have had mine now for 3 years and have never experienced any kind of back pain. In fact, in the last 2 in-house positons I have had, I have taken my Aeron chair with me - and everyone is envious! It is a lot of money up front, but money well spent.
RE Herman Miller Aeron Chair below..
I looked up the Herman Miller Aeron chair on the internet to see what all the fuss was about after reading these posts. I noticed the chair looks a lot like the one I got from Office Max. I'm not sure what the name of mine is, but it is a VERY comfortable, fully adjustable chair. I've not seen anything like it. I paid $79 as it was on sale from about $139. I noticed that this Herman Miller is much, much more expensive. Just thought some of you might like to check out Office Max's line. I love mine!
Nothing better than a Herman Miller Aeron Chair!!! nm

Aeron chair by Herman Miller
Although it is pricey, I highly recommend the Aeron chair. I bought one a few years back when I was having back trouble and carpal tunnel issues from sitting and working 12-16 hours most every day. This chair really made a difference! It comes in different sizes for different people and will adjust practically any way you want it.
Prices will vary so do a web search for Aeron chair and look for the best price.
Aeron chair, $1000, online.
This chair was an investment in my back and comfortable, well worth the $$. Link to Ultimate Back Store below; this is where I purchased the chair from.
Aeron chair - never would use any other. About eight years ago my hospital
bought all of the transcriptionists Herman Miller chairs and we always say we are taking them when we leave. Yea right, BUT, I would buy one even if I had to pay for it over time. It is so worth it considering we sit all day. It is made of some kind of a nylon mesh that gives to your body weight and is always comfortable. There is tons on line about it. I love my chair, I love my chair, I love my chair.
Attention: Romey - Question about Aeron chair (sm)
You had answered my previous post concerning the Aeron chair and I am really convinced that I want one. But how comfortable is the seat after several hours? I am sick of foam that packs down. I bought a molded gel cushion that looks like a honeycomb, but even this gets "hard" after a while. Would appreciate your comments.
That sure beats the $900+ I spent on my Aeron Miller chair ! - nm

Does anyone use a Herman Miller Aeron chair for work and if so, do you like/love it? nm
nm
If one cannot afford the Herman Miller Aeron chair (wish), can someone recommend a less..sm
expensive chair that has most of the features? I am primarily interested in neck/back support with the ability to adjust as needed. I live in a fairly remote area and the only office equipment stores I have access to are Office Depot and Office Max. I have one from Office Max but it was a cheap one and doesn't offer much. I need to invest in a good one, but don't have the $900 for the Herman Miller. So, if anyone has any suggestions, I would love your advice. TIA!
After years of sitting in "cheap" chairs, I bought an Aeron chair and it was worth it!!

I better switch my computer chair for a potty chair. nm
Question about Aeron, Please (sm)
What is the chair and back actually made of? I have heard is it reinforced with a type of steel mesh which is what makes it conform to the user yet keeps it from sagging over time.
I live in a very rural area and a dealer would probably be at least 200 miles from me, would you buy one sight unseen? I am so sick of foam chairs that pack down and get so hard. I constantly have "sitting bone" numbness or worse, spasms.
Thanks for any info.
Wow, Aeron is $$$$. I googled, and I think that one is way out of my budget.
It looks like a great chair, tho.
Aeron. Expensive but well worth the $$. nm

Aeron, Mira, Celle Chairs - Anyone Have One? (sm)
Does anyone use an Aeron, Celle, or Mira chair by Herman Miller and are they worth the price? Many thanks for any info.
Herman Miller Aeron Chairs
As a side note, for the tailbone pain, I bought a coccyx cushion and I don't have the pain whatsoever anymore. It's wonderful.
I need a new chair!
I have had this chair for about 8 years. I have to sit on pillows or else it feels like I am sitting on bare metal!  I am ready to buy a new one & would appreciate suggestions.
TIA
chair.
Herman Miller Aeron Chair, changed my LIFE!!!! Can't say enough good about it. The cost is high, but I felt I could justify it since I spend so much time sitting in it, check it out on ebay, lot cheaper, that is where I got mine.
chair
Am looking for a new one. What kind do you have?
chair
When I was going to PT because of a MVA the theapist told me to allow the chair to support the back, not to sit like they used to make us sit straight and forward but sit back and allow the chair to support you. Also hold in your core muscles. Once I have done this as well as having a chair that I can easily change up and down positions, I have not had a problem. She said a pillow would not support the entire back and and thus put you off balance again and you then overcompensate for it. So I sit completely back in my chair with my entire back being supported by the chair. Also sit a little higher up. Works for me and never have a back ache. Also chair is not one of the most expensive models, $99 at Office Depot. Though I do need a new one as it is 6 years old. I work 8 to 10 hours per day in this chair.
chair help sm
Go to a site called "Nada Chair" it is not a chair but a device that pulls your spine forward by attaching a belt via a strap to your knees. My son is a PT and one of his patients swears by it. Just check it out. Been there, it's painful, every little bit helps, also ask for a TENS unit. Good luck! I empathize!

my sister visited a chiropracter in atlanta and was told of an office chair called herman miller but is pricey. She has one and loves it so far. it is the best one out there of late. visit CSN-chair.com they have different types, but they sound like a dream! Thank you for your well wishes and hope you are doing okay too! I e-mailed you also

Hi - I've had many various chairs over the past 10 years, and just found the perfect one for me for about $250.00.
It's the Unanimous model chair from the Hon company, part of their 7600 series -- specifically, the 7602 model is the best. It has a high back and adjustable everything -- seat depth, back height, arm width and height, etc...
I've spent lots of money on chairs and love this one!
Sites like NexTag do comparison pricing and show you where you can get the exact item you want at the best price.
Good luck!
chair
I would try out some chairs at the office supply stores for good lumbar support. I also found that chairs with arm rests were very tiring as the arm rests got in the way of my elbows. I use a pillow to push me forward and also a Nada chair device. They have a website which explains how this work, pulls your spine forward by straps that go over your knees. It was a gift from a therapist. Works pretty well. Also, a microwaveable heating pad helps. Good luck, sometimes more than a chair is needed. It's painful, I know!
Best chair - sm
I have been working from home for many years, and over the years, I bought a new chair just about every 12 months, until this past year. I splurged and bought a Henry Miller Aeron chair, and it's wonderful. No more back pain, no more neck pain, no more shoulder pain. I wish I had saved all the money I spent on a chair every year and bought this one back then. They are expensive, but check online, you can find some good deals with free shipping, and sometimes no tax. The chair is well worth the investment if you can swing it. Hope this helps.
Chair
The chair in the link I am providing is by far the best chair I have ever owned.
Chair
I bought the chair in the link below and it has been the BEST chair I have ever used. I have major back problems (we're talking 2 back surgeries in the last 3 years) and I can sit in this chair with no problems at all. It has multiple functions for lumbar support, back support, and the arms can go up and down/in and out. I highly recommend it! Also, if you live anywhere near an Office Depot store, shipping is free. The closest Office Depot store to me is like 75 miles away and they still delivered it for free.
Good luck, I knew I had a really hard time finding something I liked for a long time too.
Chair
Thanks for recommending this chair! I have been looking for a chair for so long and can't find one that is quite right. This one looks like it has everything I need - I'm heading to Office Depot this weekend to try it out. Thanks so much!!

I have a herman miller Mirra chair that I love. Very expensive (over 700 bucks) but way worth the money.
chair
I found a sealy posturepedic with ergonomic lumbar support and many other features for just under 200 and it is great
Chair
This is the best chair I have ever owned and the price is fairly reasonable.
Thanks for the tip. I am looking for a new chair

New Chair !
I am very happy to share this information. My daughter graduated from college in May in interior design. She found this chair 2 yrs ago and after I took a week off and came back to my old chair and could not get out of it, I drove and bought this. Go to google. Allsteel chair, the one I got is #19. I spent a lot of money on it, but it is SO worth it, all my pain is GONE! You will have find a dealer near you. I live in upstate NY and drove 180 miles round trip to get it.
My dog sleeps right behind my chair..
She has been having a real hard time with the weather and is always itchy and has hot spots, so when she sleeps or relaxes, I just here until she gets up on her own. Seems like she has so few moments of peace this summer. Her coat looks awful.
KNEELING CHAIR (SM)
Has anyone used a kneeling chair? Are the comfortable? I would like to alternate between my regular chair and a kneeling chair to change positions during the day, but was not sure how comfortable they were.
Kneeling chair
I have used one of these for several years and used a foot pedal - it can be done. It's just not as ergo as it would be if you didnt have to use your foot. I do change from time-to-time, though to give my back a break and use a regular office chair, but I love my kneeling chair.
Love my HM chair!
Got to the point when I could hardly get out of the chair after 12 hours of working, went and ordered me a new Areon HM and love it to death! I have been using this chair for 3 years now, still love it. The arms are easy to remove if you like. I have mine set low so I can type but that they they are still there..it is all personal preference really, but my back is not sore after the long days like it used to be and I can sit forever without needed to get up due to feeling sore from sitting.
Lift Chair
I just purchased a lift chair for my husband this weekend. We purchased the Pride brand as it was the most comfortable for him -- he is only 5 foot 5 nches tall and heavy. If your mom has Medicare, please be sure to check with them first -- if there is a medical necessity, they will pay for a portion of the chair (the mechanism portion). Good luck in your search. The best we found was to use a medical supply house that was able to actually have them on display to sit in and try for comfort, etc.
STAY IN YOUR CHAIR! :-)
nm
Most comfortable chair please!
I am on a quest for a new office chair. Cannot afford the Aeron. Any other comparable ones out there????? Thanks!
Regarding the chair u sit in to type....sm
I have read that just like sitting on an airplane for a long time, where one must get up and walk....that regarding sitting and doing MT work, one should change the height/level of the chair you sit in to work......so that you avoid DVT (deep vein thrombosis).
Hence, I change the height of my chair weekly....that is, if I can remember to change the height. *L* 
Office chair - sm
If you have a clothes shaver, that should remove the "tufts"...as far as keeping it clean, the towel probably contributed to the "tufts", so I would try a pillowcase or other non-linty material. Spray foam cleaner made for furniture should help keep it clean, or ScotchGuard maybe? The shaver is definitely a help for all kinds of pills and pulls in clothes. I love mine. Hope this helps.
office chair
Does anyone know of a good ergonomic chair to help with upper back/neck pain? I haven't found one yet and am in desperate need. Thanks!
I would like some chair recommendations too...
I am having the same problem, and I know a chair would help. The one I am using needs to be replaced. I am fortunate though that I can go through my husband's work to get a chair for about half price. I just have no idea which one to get yet.
Hope you get to feeling better! :)
