thanks thats helpful@Mcnumpty2323, we have Herman Miller Aeron's at my work. Personally, I've found the Aeron to be great and I have plenty of colleagues that love the Aeron but I also have colleagues who don't like it at all.
I couldn't afford a new Aeron for home (didnt' fancy a 2nd hand one either) and so I spent a lot of time researching an affordable alternative. After months of reading reviews and watching reviews on YouTube for various chairs (including Ikea ones), the reviews of the Noblechairs Hero swayed me. So, last week, I bought one, and I have to say, I have no regrets. It's really good, plenty of support and after a few days wear, it's really comfortable. I've spent probably 8+ hours a day in it for the last four or five days and have found it to be fantastic (it was a touch hard the first two or three days, but it's softened nicely). I've read plenty of reviews of people having them for a long time and saying that they still feel as good as new (despite in some cases the chair reportedly taking a lot of abuse), so personally, I'm really happy with the purchase.
The thing is, as others have said, chair's are subjective and one chair doesn't fit all, that said, in the same way the majority of the Herman Miller Aeron reviews are very positive, the same is true for the Hero (I can't speak for the other Noblechairs because I've never tried them). What I'm saying is, IMO if you are the right size for it, then the Hero is worth a try.
and yes size and weight was a consideration although forgot to mention it
