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.

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

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.
Aeron chair
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.

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.
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

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
thanks, romey
articulate...and common sense, I like it (smile!)
thanks romey!!!!
 And its as addicting as six feet under. I hope they have it out on dvd so I can fill in on all the episodes I missed. -animal advocate
Thank You Romey
Thank You so much for sharing your knowledge and information with a fellow MT. You are super!!!!!
Romey is right
I have had success with Phentermine in the past, as it gives you tons of energy, and you have to learn how to direct that energy into exercising to obtain the maximum benefit. I believe the recommended time frame is to take it for 6-8 weeks, then I've heard other people will take a 2-3 week break from it, then go on it again. I really like to use it to jump start an exercise program, which then kicks in my motivation to start eating healthier also.
Romey-Thanks so much! (NM)
Much appreciated.
Oops, this was to go to Romey, sorry! nm

Thanx Romey ... I loves me some Dr. House! - nm
Romey, some docs will say square meters
meters squared, but it's all the same. The reason you would write 400 mg/sq m this way is because the slash mark stands for "per." If the slash mark was between the sq and m, you'd have square per meter. Now that doesn't make sense, right?
To romey and ANIMAL ADVOCATE...see inside please:
Just copy and paste into your browser (with whatever video player you have)...
Do not get side-tracked with your feeling about peta...
One is narrated by Alec Baldwin. (I have mixed feelings about peta, but these videos do not lie, and if you research for yourself you realize the government more and more allows this hideous behavior to SAVE money - again, it is all about the money).
I have watched it once, and half with my eyes closed. Call me whatever you like, but I sobbed at the cruelty.
The other is about a (huge) grocery chain we have here in WNY.
A few months ago I became a vegetarian to lose weight...but still ate eggs, cheese, some poultry.
Since the day I watched these videos, because of my conscience, I have not touched a piece of meat or poultry.
I refuse to contribute to this inhumanity, no matter how it is justified...

Agree with Romey. I use dog Frontline - split one tube between my 4 cats.
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

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.

You pay 100% attention to work while SM
you are working and get someone to care for the baby while you are working. Same when it gets bigger.
Pay attention to the above post...sm
This lady knows what she is talking about....not that the others don't. When you allow the Lord to have reign over your life and let Him love you, things do turn around in ways we could never imagine in our own right. I wish I had realized this 8 years ago, but sadly I did not.
I can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13
And if you pay attention to all of her postings
strange
I should have paid attention,,,,
I got approached about possibly doing the transcription for a local doctor office - 4 doctors. I have DSS player and they have used DSS system before, but how would I get the files from their computer to my computer. Could they load them into a folder and then winzip them and sent to me? Is there an easier way?
I know this was discussed before. I had no idea then I might get this opportunity, so I didnt pay much attention to the post.
ATTENTION TYPISTS!!!!
Back in the 1980s there was a doctor in California who used to start each dictation with the command, "ATTENTION TYPIST." He was a real peach. He had no friends in the transcription department, I can assure you. Later on, when I graduated from college and was an RN he had the gall to call up the nursing station and demand that one of us "girls" get over across the street to his office as one of the patients we had cared for in the hospital the previous week had gone over to his office for an "office visit" (that was because he was so pompous that he did not wish to see that poor patient in the hospital). The patient while in his office "defecated" on his carpet and he felt that was our "job" to clean up after incontinent patients even if they were in HIS office. I swear this is true. We told him he should call a cleaning service. He blew a gasket. I guess it could have been worse if we had the Chimpanzee guy. I think I would have knocked him in the head after I sued him for harassment. I saw down further where someone hoped he was a now a patient. Me too and I hope he is constipated and no one gives him a stool softener. I hope when he rides in the ambulance from the acute care to the rest home that he overhears the ambulance attendants refer to their call as a "lizard run." I hope someone puts cornflakes in his bed. I can't stand pomposity! I hope he is roommates with "Attention Typist" - they might actually understand each other.
Attention Administrator
When everything hit the boards a few days back, you (well, whoever is running the board these days) stated that if anyone had a problem and wanted to leave this board, send a message and write "unsubscribe" in the message line.
I did that and just did a test post to see if you unscribed my email address.
You haven't.
I think everyone here is watching your actions and I expect you to unscribe me. I am posting this in public as you failed to respond to a private email.

Kindly delete any of my posts that you feel the urge to edit. I would rather you delete than skew the content and purpose of my communication caused by your editing. Of course, it is not necessary for me to participate on these forums at all.
hang in there, pay attention
Just hang in there. Pay special attention to every report, especially the errors you have done in the past, and follow your account specifics exactly (keep a copy next to you) Practice makes perfect.
Someone called it to my attention
that I should use the term offshoring instead of outsourcing. We use the word outsourcing at my hospital so this didn't even occur to me. So just wanted to address this:) thanks again!
People, please pay attention. This isn't just one person
that had a personalty conflict of whatever. Everyday there is someone else with a valid issue.
no problems. you must learn to pay attention as you go along. once is enough.
btw, if it is a very difficult person to do i will listen twice in the course of transcription and then flag it for QA.
sounds like he needs attention and is afraid
