Engineered Now The Original Headrest for The Herman Miller Aeron Chair (H3 for Remastered, Carbon)

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.

This is a must have if you have an Aeron Chair as it provides support for the neck while sitting for extended hours. It is super easy to install (less than 5 minutes), the build quality is top notch, and the color matches perfectly too.

I want to start this review off with a quote from another review that won me over: "I wish I would have bought it sooner".The design, materials, and color are a perfect match for my Aeron charcoal chair.I'll get to this later, but customer support was excellent.This review is for the H4 version. I'm a programmer and a while back I purchased a Herman Miller Aeron chair. However, during some intense programming sessions, my neck muscles would start to bunch up. This headrest is exactly what I needed to handle it. Now that I can lean back to support my neck, and it actually helps me with my posture. I was seriously considering purchasing another chair with a headrest when I saw this add on. The price was a little more than I wanted to spend, but it really is a perfect match and works very well. Considering I've had the chair for about 10 years, I expect it is worth it.Fit:In regards to fit, I'm 5'9. When the chair is in the upward position, I use the top downward slope as support. When reclining I tilt the rest up and use the front part. It fits quite well. Adjustment is pretty quick with the clamping lever which is easy to reach, but for the most part I just tilt the upper pivot.Support:The first one that I ordered had a slight manufacturing defect where one side wasn't fully pushed in. It worked fine, it just looked wonky. I contacted support and they got back to me immediately and sent out a new one.Adjustments:(This is not as big of a deal as I probably make it sound, but thought I would mention it.)There are two pivot points on this headrest (which in the pictures, you can tell from the two circles). The first is the bottom part which is controlled by the clamp. The second one is higher up behind the headrest, which is controlled by the tension of two screws. If I'm repositioning the upper head rest a lot, I eventually need to retention the screws. Its really not a big deal, but thought I would mention it.The plastic caps that cover the screws have kind of a fine edge. To keep from marring them, I used a credit cart to work around the cap and pull it up. As a side note, they include spare caps in the package if you do mangle it :) I just keep the caps off for now, but I'll probably just put them back in and not fully seat them to make removal easier.I'm quite happy with the product and considering I use it every day, well worth it.

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.

Very nice quality and it looks great. Read the instructions for adjusting tension and settings.

I didn't expect this headrest to feel so "hard". It's maybe okay to rest a bit against it while sitting up, but I find it not much more comfortable than having nothing at all when I am reclining. The tilt is also too easy to activate with the weight of your head if you are reclining, so while there feels like a "sweet spot" to place your weight on the mechanism will move if you try to. I also find the lock to be insufficient. It still moves with a bit more force applied. For how much I paid I am disappointed.

It works fine, fits pretty well, but this is a poor replacement for a built-in headrest. It’s wobbly, wildly overpriced, and it’ll pop off if you bump it too hard. But since this is related to Herman Miller, it’s never going to be appropriately priced.
