**PROS**
-Unmatched adjustability in high end office chairs
-Very solid arm rests no matter how you adjust them
-Can tilt back VERY far compared to most office chairs
-Super flexible seat and back lets you maneuver freely without feeling inhibited by your chair. Being able to sit however you want and still feel comfortable after a long day is BIG.
-Very helpful customer support. They DO in fact honor their 12 yr warranty and WILL take care of your investment if you have a problem (can personally vouch).
-Feels brand new after 8 months of heavy use, no sign of the foam cushions collapsing. They use a very durable dense foam and not cheap memory foam. Cloth looks mint and no signs of wear or loose threads.
-Aesthetically pleasing
**CONS**
-Foam/cushioning on the thinner side, but not necessarily uncomfortable since your weight is very evenly distributed across the chair.
-Will need to put down some lithium grease where the seat pan meets the back structure; otherwise it will squeak after ~3 months.
-No aftermarket headrest options since the non-headrest version doesn’t have mounting points for it.
-Cloth seats. Not a big deal for me but I have seen complaints of people getting hot in their chair.
-Very heavy. 80lb chair is not easy carry up the stairs if you plan on moving soon.
==========
Both are very good chairs. Biggest difference is that the Gesture is more flexible in seat pan and the back support. Makes it a lot easier to move around, reach for things, lean in and out however I want in and in any direction. I can sit any way want; legs crossed, legs on desk, leg up on chair, slouched or sit upright and maintain a good posture if I'm trying to get work done. My movement or how I sit doesn't ever feel inhibited by the Gesture. The adjustable arms are amazing and very adjustable. Super easy to adjust however you want and usually I find myself adjusting them when I'm wanting sit back in my chair to watch a video or when I need to spend the day typing things out.
On the other hand, the Aeron is more of a "rigid" chair. It forces you to more or less sit upright and maintain a better posture because the frame hugs you more compared to the Gesture. It's not easy to sit in any other posture besides the *ideal* one. Seat pan and backframe feel more conforming to the body and I'd have no problem having a productive day in this chair. The adjustable arms are good, but come nowhere near the adjustability of the Gesture. Good office chair if the only thing you're doing is churning out emails in a cubicle.
Can’t go wrong if you decide to pick either one. Personally I went with Gesture because I value the additional flexibility it provides and honestly it’s lot more aesthetically appeasing than the Aeron. Also worth mentioning their customer support and warranty programs are AMAZING. I had a problem with the chair being unbalanced and within 2 weeks I had a full replacement delivered to my doorstep at $0 cost. Only regret I have is not getting the headrest version—which I’ve heard is pretty good.
