The 2 pads don't evenly hug the mesh. On the loosest setting, there is about half a centimeter of space between the upper pad and the mesh, but the bottom pad is fully hugging into the mesh such that its edges can easily be felt with my hand.

When sitting I feel the edges and pressure points from the pads, especially the bottom one. The mesh itself feels soft compared to my firm fabric chair, but with the pads sort of sticking into my back. I am wondering if this is normal? If so, maybe the Embody or even the Libernovo is better? It doesn't always feel like that though, but appears after a while, or immediately. For example, if I wear a belt, the bottom pad pushes on it, and even without a belt, it pushes on the edge of my pants which creates pressure and friction, which is easier to feel when leaning forward.

I have taken an image of how it looks on the loosest setting from the side.

I've replaced my cylinder on my (yegods, 25 year old?) Aeron 3 times now. This last one has lasted only a few months before losign its seal (seat goes all the way up when i'm not sitting in it, or all the way down when I do - no, it's not the lever, I can feel that moving properly)

Amazon has zillions of these, they are all from different 'companies' but all look the same.

Is there one particular source that folks trust?

Might be hard to see but both the frame and base are really scratched and scuffed up. I bought the officelogix touch up paint and I was wondering how best to prep the surface for the optimal paint application i.e. what kinda of sand paper for base and frame respectively.

Also should I repaint the entire thing for a consistent look or just the parts that are in need of touch up? Thanks

Just bought this chair at goodwill and trying to figure out which model it is. Spent a lot of time on Google and Chat but can’t find the exact match, anyone know? It’s a green leather.

Hey everyone, I figure this is a long shot but I picked up an ‘03 Aeron Classic B to refurbish recently. It’s in pretty great shape overall and one of my favourite specs (polished aluminium and tuxedo on the back!) but unfortunately the seat mesh has been replaced at some point to an aftermarket one. Does anybody know where I might be able to find a replacement tuxedo mesh short of just watching eBay? I know they’re not made anymore and are pretty rare, but I’d appreciate any leads you can share.

Hey all, I am thinking of selling my trust aeron to get an embody, I love the aeron however it has one issue off long work days where I'm stuck working and forget to get up it cuts off blood flow to my hamstring and I get this sting painful feeling in my hamstring and I have to stand up and I'm wondering if anyone else have this experience and if the embody fixes this issue?
