The chair is listed for $2,385 but a 20% discount applicable by chatting through live chat.
The agent said that it is a Black Friday discount but it is not advertised on their website.

Update: The discount code is VIPBF (thanks to user lordrupertliverpool)

I wanted one of these chairs as I have been working and studying from home over the past 10 months and I'm starting to get bad lower back pain.

I have been keeping my eye on the second hand Herman Miller market but they don't come up often in SA and the prices are absolutely ridiculous. e.g. Someone wanting $2100 for a 3 year old chair, someone wanting $900 for a 18 year old chair, someone wanting $500 for a broken chair where the levers and adjustments don't work. I have seen a few Sahls come up for $500 but I really wanted the Mirra or Aeron as they are specifically recommended for their lower back support, which is what I need.

If you are purchasing yours for work / working from home it would be worth chatting to your boss to see if they would be willing to trat it as a fringe benefit. As mine is for work and study, it is Fringe Benefits Tax exempt, so my boss was happy to buy it for me as a fringe benefit meaning she can claim back the GST and pass that discount onto me, as well as me being able to pay for it with my pre tax income, so it basically brings the cost down to $1,988 - 180.72 GST = $1,807.28 - 32.5% (tax) = $1,219.91 post tax equivalent. The benefit of doing it as a fringe benefit would be that you can claim back the GST and you get the tax saving benefit immediately compared to buying it and claiming it as a tax deduction which will need to be depreciated over its useful life instead of getting the whole benefit in the year of purchase.

I didnt ask if the 20% off promotion was only for the Aeron but I would guess that it could be across their whole range.

    Another recommendation for the Aeron from me - I got mine third hand from Marketplace for $550 about a year ago. WFH 8 hours a day every day and I don't feel any fatigue at the end of the day. I think it's about 15 years old.

    Have had my HM Aeron for about 18 years now, just replaced the gas strut, daily use, and 8 hours every weekday, it has been fantastic.

  • ashumz on 19/11/2024 - 19:19

    I bought one secondhand for $700 then purchased new parts in total was $1100. I love the chair but couldnt see myself ever buying one brand new.

    • RQNinja on 20/11/2024 - 00:42

      where do you source for new replacement parts?

  • lebravo200 on 19/11/2024 - 19:32

    I been told it's actually made in China because shipping we are closer there then usa

    Code is generic, no need to bother with chat.

    It's VIPBF.

  • tissue on 19/11/2024 - 19:44

    Without humble bragging too much, I’ve got both an Aeron and Mirra at work and a Mirra at home and rate the Aeron the best. Just couldn’t stomach spending the extra $1k for a one day a week WFH chair.

  • ThatNintendoKid on 19/11/2024 - 19:48

    Anyone know of any budget chairs that are good that suit a 6’3 heavy guy? As cheap as possible but maximum maybe $750? No idea what makes chairs more expensive than others/better than others

    • watwatwat on 19/11/2024 - 19:57

      Up your budget and buy an aeron.

      • ThatNintendoKid on 19/11/2024 - 20:08

        Why? - also what about like the secret lab chairs titan evo etc?

          They are comparively junk ergonomics wise. But you need to sit in chairs to really feel it and see if it works with your body.

          I'd look for a size c Aeron on marketplace after trying one in store if possible. You can easily get one under 750.

          • ThatNintendoKid on 19/11/2024 - 21:05

            @Phesto: Thats another thing how are you supposed to try chairs when all the retailers are online? I don't know of any stores at least here in Melbourne

                @Phesto: Ah ok cool good to know I was more just meaning like stores in general are online so very hard to try before you buy

          • RQNinja on 20/11/2024 - 00:43

            @Phesto: how are you able to get them under 750 when most ads i see are over 1200?

        • watwatwat on 19/11/2024 - 22:03
          +2

          Why?

          Because you pulled that budget out of thin air and I agree it is a huge struggle to mentally accept a chair can cost this much. But it is worth it by far.

          Each to their own.

          Ask in another 25 years, which is how long aerons (released 1994) have been around longer than the Titan, and we'll see how well the gamer FOTM chairs are holding up.

      I’m a similar size and recently got one of these - https://furnitureatwork.com.au/products/avatar-high-back-exe…

      Good back support and very comfy

  • MAD for Everything on 19/11/2024 - 20:00

    For those who purchased their Aeron new, is the mesh really tight? As in when you sit in it, does the mesh sink in or is it tight and keeps its shape? I bought a second hand Aeron and when I sit on it, it sinks a little bit so wanting to know if that is normal or it should be really tight and doesnt sink.
    Have a size B and I am 78kg.

    • lemonozb on 19/11/2024 - 21:29

      I got mine from end of Oct. The mesh is pretty firm… and I think it's in 12yr coverage

        Website is pro furniture link is up the top pf this page somewhere but it seems they arent offering warranty now…

        But if that doesnt bother you they are still $1679 in box

    • yuisakas on 20/11/2024 - 01:55

      The warranty doesn't bother too much but your Herman Miller could be fake or B stock from unknown seller,but if not and everything is good its a better deal

      2k for a chair for 10+ years is much better value than 3k for a phone for 2 years.

  • linxinkai on 19/11/2024 - 20:57

    I bought Aeron for $900 12years ago, its still as good as day one(except black mesh is faded a little), all mesh still as tight as new(I am 92kg)
    also got Embody but meh.. I don't like it, now it is my wife's chair for puzzles.

  • sharpandcreamy on 19/11/2024 - 21:06

    I have this chair in size C, I got it as an ex display a few years ago for $1500.
    Absolutely amazing, no pressure points, the mesh seat and back is some feat, which is probably why the original is in a museum!
    The chair still feels like new after 5 years of use, I weight approx 90kgs.
    Highly recommend an ergonomic chair of some sort rather than tacky looking gaming chairs.

  • milobob on 19/11/2024 - 21:18

    We have the Aeron and Mirra, TBH I think the Mirra is the better chair. Bought ours during Covid for $1.2k. Inflation……

    Bought one for $300 off marketplace. Was manufactured in 2008. Needs some more gas but otherwise it's a beauty after a spit and polish.

  • kongkee on 19/11/2024 - 21:25

    Great chairs. Found one near a dumpster at work with the seat mesh hole. Took it home and got the mesh chair replaced. It's so good! Coming from a Sayl, I thought what else can be improved on this, but once I go the Aeron, it's so different. I now get why it's the best selling office chair.

    • RQNinja on 19/11/2024 - 21:31

      how did you get the mesh replaced? got a link to this place?

    As has been alluded to, Pro furniture sells the Aeron with warranty for $1879-99 and without warranty for $1679.

    2nd hand I’ve seen Remastered’s go for as low as $550 on marketplace/ebay, though it’s pretty rare to find them under 1k.

  • Mazozb on 19/11/2024 - 22:29

    This or embody for someone with a lot of back and overall joint issues due to inflammation? (Shoulder, neck ,etc)

    • eccaz on 19/11/2024 - 22:44

      Try them both out, I suspect the Aeron would suit you better.

  • airtime on 19/11/2024 - 22:58

    I absolutely love my Aeron Remastered with PostureFitSL. For me, without any doubt, the most comfortable office chair I have ever owned or used. I spend 8 hours plus per day sitting in it and couldn't be happier.

    When first getting an Aeron, be prepared to give the chair 2 weeks for your body to get used to it. I found my upper legs took about a week or so to get used to the mesh and front lip. Also be prepared to adjust you work area as it really helped me sit in a correct ergonomic position. With all my previous chairs I would slump forward and had to put my keyboard further away. With the Aeron I sit correctly upright and correspondingly, they keyboard needs to be closer.

    The polished aluminium chassis version was also worth the extra $ - it looks absolutely beautiful.

    Be aware that the mesh feels cold in winter but nicely cool in summer.

    Highly recommended if you spend a lot of your time in an office chair.

    Absolutely worth the investment (and I paid over $2000 for this chair!).

    I suffered for years with lower back pain after using the typical officeworks chairs for 10+ hours during my working days. But I kept saying that I couldn't justify the price when it was ~$1000.

    I finally bit the bullet and paid the extra premium of $1000.

    And I will do it again, because ever since I got this chair, I haven't suffered any lower back pain!

    • watwatwat on 20/11/2024 - 00:03

      That's just about the identical story to myself.

      When I think back on this, I did temporarily see a physiotherapist >10 years ago and they never mentioned anything about this chair. But, they were very keen to get me booked in to regular appointments (in which I said I didn't want to).

      So I consider the physio industry to be a scam. For people who WFH and have sore lower back, they could just recommend this chair and go from there. Instead, they are incentivised to make you pay regularly for them to show you how to do exercises that you could look up on youtube.

      • eug on 20/11/2024 - 00:09

        So I consider the physio industry to be a scam.

        As with most things, it depends on the specific person you're seeing. The physio I saw never pushed me to re-book an appointment and always left it to me to decide whether or not I need to come back.

        On the other hand a chiro I visited was very persistent in trying to get me to come back. Not sure if they're all like that.

          Ok, I realise I already used the word "scam" and now I need to find a word that is 10x worse than that to convey what I think of the predatory clowns in the fake "chiropractic" industry.

  • Shas Okar on 20/11/2024 - 00:34

    Can confirm the code works with the Embody, so probably across their range as OP suggested.

    Takes the price down from $3,190 to $2,552

  • 1667774387 on 20/11/2024 - 02:42

    I tried one out and it was horrible for posture and every time you moved it would wobble, creak and crack. Never again. Will stick to my $200 officeworks chair
