The foam lumbar cushion that originally came with my Aeron chair cracked and I wanted to replace it with the more aesthetic support kit, but my usual store in Japan asked for the serial number of my chair and told me that my chair was an older type that wouldn't take the kit. Still, I went ahead and ordered it, and although the fit is probably tighter than intended, I was still able to install it on my chair with no problem.
The new kit provides much better support than the old foam lumbar cushion. I had to constantly adjust the position of the lumbar cushion because it would cut into my back and become uncomfortable during extended use. On the other hand, the new kit presents a much larger supporting surface and its tension can be adjusted with a lever. As a result, now the chair is comfortable no matter how long I sit in it (more than 12 hours per weekday on average).
Conclusion: It's a wonderful upgrade well worth the price, and it looks great too. -- Great product
I have used the Lumbar Support on Herman Miller chairs at work for a couple of years now. As others have reviewed, over time (6 - 8 years?) the foam pad does separate from the Support's frame.
I recently purchased an Aeron chair for home with the Poster Fit. Poster Fit provides better back support and is adjustable forward and back similar to a car seats' lumbar support. The Poster Fit does not move up and down as the Lumbar Support. This isn't an issue, though. The Poster Fit's adjustment is plenty sufficient for me.
It does seem a bit flimsy and will see how it lasts over time. Hence 4 stars. At least there is a 10 year warranty to cover it. So long as you buy the chair from an authorized dealer. -- Poster Fit
My son is the one who's using it. He installed it immediately and haven't left his Herman Miller's since. -- Herman came through again!
