i had an aeron on loan for a month and after 4 days i couldnt sit on it any more.
the aeron is an old design by todays standards.
i've just ordered a http://www.humanscale.com/produc… and its really comfortable for me
my advice is to make sure you dont just buy one without having a loan for at least 1 week

mornin kelpie,
aye, those aeron chairs are supposed to be very good. they cost around about £700 but u can get 2nd hand one on ebay for £300ish.
ill check out that site Engage, cheers.

why couldnt you sit on it? was it causing you more pain? maybe its just becaue it was a new position you needed to get used to?
how much was that freedom chair? did u get it without or with the headrest?

try a Mirra by herman miller too - they're half the price of the aeron, a bit bigger and more comfy and with all of the gadgetry.

the aeron cut into my legs because of the front lip. searching online i found other people with the same problem.
plus the aeron felt old and clonky. but it might be perfect for you
the human scale ia just under 700 inc vat but thats a full spec with leather.
make a list of chairs and get in touch with the companies for a loan chair. they all do it.

I used to be perched on a Vitra that my office supplied to me.
http://www.vitra.com/But the boss has since taken it away from me and replaced it with a cheap IKEA chair. I've had back pain since grade 7 and it's only gotten worse since sitting in this piece of crap.

I got an aeron off of ebay for 300 squid and I swear it's the best investment I have ever made.
But I had used one before so I knew what I was getting.
go to a few shops and try them out, but don't be affraid of splashing the cash if it suits.
Plus invest in a a good osteopath too...
