That was one of my main concerns with the Aeron. My desk is not 
adjustable and I only 5'7", so in order for my chair to be high enough 
for my arms, my feet don't sit flat on the floor. I have a footrest, but 
I have quite a few machines on my desk so I am often not sitting in 
front of it. So I really need a cushioned front edge, a hard front edge 
will cut into my legs. Which is not good.

The Humanscale Freedom chair has a much softer front edge.
