are you short or tall perhaps?
 
there are three sizes of aeron - on the top = back under the lip feel and there are dimples - one for small, two for = medium and three for large chair size
 
i=92m 5=92 10 and the medium fits me great, = just get it adjusted right and you can also flip the lumbar over to have = two levels of lower back support (pull it up and off the chair back and = flip it over - you can see there are two =93depths=94 then slide it back = on)
 
only people i=92ve heard of that really did not like the aeron=92s= in our previous office of 100+ were people either too big or too small = for the medium sized chairs we had
