Engineered Now The Original Headrest for The Herman Miller Aeron Chair (HW, Onyx)

This headrest for the Aeron Chair is a brilliant addition to an already outstanding chair. It not only works seamlessly but also complements the chair's design aesthetic beautifully.This headrest offers an impressive range of adjustability, allowing you to tailor it to your exact needs. While it's true that it's not the most budget-friendly accessory, it's in line with the Aeron Chair's premium quality, and I expected such an investment.My primary reason for getting this headrest was to improve my posture while sitting, and it has delivered on that front superbly. It's a must-have if you value comfort and ergonomics in your workspace.Its performance, design compatibility, and posture-improving capabilities make it an excellent investment for anyone seeking the utmost comfort and support while working or sitting.

I got this for my Steelcase Leap V2- great hack. Was a little skeptical but it lives up to the hype for what it is. Very sturdy and comfortable headrest with great adjustability, and you don’t have to drill into your chair and deal with potential warranty concerns. About as good as you can get with those considerations in mind.

I'm not sure if they updated the unit or not, but I'm 5 days in and no issues with mine yet. The assembly fits snugly on the top edge of the chair. The contours of the plastic body seem custom fit for the chair, so I didn't experience having to force it into place, or any unsightly gaps and general incorrect fit. It looks good and seems OEM quality frankly (thus far), and even the material matched my chairs pattern and color exactly. You have to have an extremely good eye to catch the difference (unless you ordered your chair(s) with another pattern or color). The adjustability of the headrest, after it's been installed, is very easy, using one lever to enable the upward and downard tilt of the headrest, while forward and backward adjustment is done manually (using your hands); I've read that you can adjust the level of force required to move the headrest forward and backward, but personally I haven't needed to do that. As for some other reviews saying the unit gets loose after a week or that they have had to finagle the unit onto the chair with McGiver solutions, I can happily say I have not needed to do anything like that yet. I really can't complain about anything other than the price, but really if you've ever sat in an Aeron (one that you paid for yourself), you quickly realize that for the money spent on it, a critical piece is missing, and this is that piece. It completes the chair and frankly should have come with one from the factory, so if you work for Herman Miller and are reading this, tell your cheap bosses to include this in the box.

The headrest is easy to install. The color matches my mineral colored Aeron Remastered Size B perfectly, and while the mesh feels like a different material than the chair, it is comfortable and matches visually perfectly.The only issue I have with the product is the looseness of tension on the adjustment forward and back that it comes from the factory with. It is necessary to tighten both adjustments down immediately to keep the headrest from flopping around with the slightest amount of pressure.The adjustments themselves work well, but they are covered by factory preinstalled protective caps that are a pain to remove. The instructions say you should remove these caps with your fingernails, but if I had talons long enough to attempt this the process would probably remove my nail before the caps came off. I had to remove all 4 caps with cellphone repair spudgers. Once I finally removed the caps and made the adjustment I was baffled why they were installed in the first place, as the exposed hardware better matched the rest of the chair which is covered in exposed screws and bolts.TLDR; Great product. They should ditch the screw covers and maybe get slightly nicer looking hardware instead.

Two years ago I and to undergo two level fusion in my neck, ACDF. A disc in my neck had collapsed and the two vertebra were pinching the root nerve that went to my left arm. The surgeon told me it is common in people who work at computers a lot due to looking downward all the time. The surgeon gave me two choices, have the surgery or save up for a wheelchair. On a scale of 1 to 10 my pain level was 30,000. Now it's two years later, and I still live with daily pain, and worse if I do anything normal like pick up a bag of potting soil and throw it over my shoulder. I have certainly changed my work environment with elevated monitors, ergonomic keyboards, and a very nice Herman Miller chair that makes life bearable. At the end of most days I was exhausted and just wanted to rest my neck. Holding your head up all day is harder than you think when you have had this kind of surgery. I finally broke down and bought a head rest, and I should have bought it a long time ago. This thing is an absolute gift from God above. It took a little adjusting and it takes a little while to get used to the look, but being able to lean back and rest my neck is beyond fantastic. The head rest if very well built and looks like it belongs to the chair. Even the fabric matches. Now I just need to save up so I can buy another one for my chair at home. The headrest is certainly worth the price or more, it is just after medical bills and time off from work and making all the other needed adjustments, the wallet gets a bit thin. :) Thank you for making such a awesome product.

I’m short and this headrest is still good. I sit on a pillow and so my head rests nicely on it. The material is nice and slightly stretchy to provide a cushion feel. It is a pretty heavy piece so be sure to secure the headrest with the provided tool.
