Aeron chair User Group

I have created an Aeron User Group site, for people who use the Aeron chair manufactured by Herman Miller.

Fairly good chair – looks nice; not sure if it's any more comfortable than a standard upholstered chair.

Also I've been reading a book called "Pain Free at Your PC" that says there's no need to "sit in a specially designed chair". Instead, the key to preventing wrist pain is, surprisingly, good spinal posture:
Pull your head and shoulders back as far as you can. Feel the S-curve develop its arch in your lower back?...You should see that now there is a space under the wrist immediately behind the palm of your hand.

That was a neat discovery. I have discarded my rolled-up towel and SmartGloves – sitting up straight elevates my wrists in the same way.

  • Say, you haven't looked any into the Håg Inspiron 9230?

    Looks really nice. I'm into the marked for a new chair myself.

  • Me again, just wanted to say that I have been unable to find a really good website about office ergonomics and continous reviews about office chairs, desks, etc. Strange..
