Reviewers say that the Herman Miller Mirra compares favorably to the Herman Miller Aeron (*Est. $950 and up), with a more modern design and comparable comfort. In fact, many owners say they opt for the Mirra over the Aeron after trying both. The Herman Miller Mirra is available in two models: the Basic (*Est. $650) and its pricier sibling, Fully Loaded (*Est. $850). The primary difference between the two is in adjustability: The extra $200 for the Fully Loaded version will give you adjustable lumbar support and adjustable arms, as well as adjustable seat depth. Not surprisingly, the Fully Loaded model receives higher user ratings. Notably, unlike the three-size Aeron, both Mirras come in only one size that's designed to automatically adjust itself to its user (thereby requiring only minor adjustments to customize fit), a feature that most owners applaud.

We found brief mentions of the Herman Miller Mirra at Entrepeneur.com and Inc. magazine. Owners give good descriptions of their experiences with the Herman Miller Mirra at Amazon.com and Buzzillions.com.
