Engineered NowHeadrest For Classic Herman Miller Aeron Chair H3 for Remastered Carbon

This review is for H4 graphite headrest for remastered HM chair. After reading many negative reviews about this item I was worried about headset moving all over the place as many described tightening up issues. Well, those who left these reviews either got a different product from the one I’ve received or must have screwed up something when assembling/adjusting this headrest to a chair.All parts of this headrest where tight enough out of the box for me. I’ve only tightened up the height position slightly to make it even more firm. If you would like to tighten up even further then you could and this would keep the headrest in one position without possibility to move it.Some reviews said that plastic caps covering the screws where hard to remove. Honestly with a bit of care and patience they were peace of cake to remove, without damaging. If however somehow you’ve managed to damage these, then guess what, product comes with a spare pair of these caps to replace.Some other reviews mentioned that horizontal adjustment (silver bars adjustment) are not tight enough. That is not true in my experience but if you still have a problem with tightness than this product comes with clamps which you can assemble on these silver bars to lock the headrest in desired position.Product quality is great. Mesh matches exactly the colour of the chair. Mash structure is slightly different but you really need to look closely to notice this. The only downside is that mesh is touching neck skin directly and while it is overall very comfortable, it might feel a bit cold, especially in a winter time. I think nice plushy pillow would do much better here but then it would not match the chair as good as the mesh. The only cons is the price. It’s a lot of money for a peace of plastic and mesh.Summarising, I am very happy with the product but unhappy with negative reviews as they were very misleading for me to an extent that I’ve almost purchased atlas version of this headrest from USA (delivery to UK would take much longer). I am glad I’ve choosen this one over atlas.

It's well made, fits and works. Had it for about a week so if it lasts I will have no complaints.I do think it is a little expensive for what it is, if it was made by Herman Miller, the makers of the chair, it would be at least this much, but it's a retrofit, bolt into place addition. The mesh isn't as tight as the chair, a little clunky, but fits and is strong enough for now. For something that bolts onto a £1k+ chair you don't want something that will damage it. It's good. I hope it lasts.

I bought a refurbished Herman Miller Aeron chair for around £325, however the one thing it lacked was a headrest. So this company seems to make/sell headrests specifically for this type of chair.It arrived very quickly, and the colour matched that of my chair pretty much exactly.Opening the box, inside was the headrest, and alum key and a replacement bolt. The replacement bolt is to be used if you had a size A (smallest chair).So without reading instructions, I loosened the clip to allow it to clip onto the back of my chair, and then did them up. Once in place I noticed the headrest would flop about a bit. At which point I decided to read the instructions...So, once adjusted to your perfect position, you then use a screwdriver to prise off the screw covers and then you can tighten up bolts or screws. This then puts the headrest into place.Note over time, or if you lean back hard, you can get some minor movement of the headrest still.Pros- Head rest is extremely comfortable- Well made of high quality materials and looks great.Cons- Very very expensive for what is just a headrestIn summary this is a great headrest. However I paid £145 for this, which in my eyes is a lot of money for a headrest. To put things in perspective I paid £325 for my chair, so this headrest is almost half the price of a refurbished chair. Or to put it another way, you can buy a reasonably good no brand chair with a headrest for similar money!BUT if you have a Herman Miller Aeron chair and you want a headrest, you really don't have much alternative. And fortunately for something which is the only choice, it is a very good headrest.Update 1st Dec 2020: This headrest is still going strong and is as good as new still. I've recently got an office chair with headrest for less money than this headrest. Yes the other chair it's not quite as comfortable, but really does emphasise my statement I made about it previously!

The headrest is incredibly well made and it’s well engineered. Fits on to the back of the Aeron chair perfectly and easy to install. It’s very comfortable and adjusts to many positions. I’m 6ft tall and it’s perfect for me and my partner is 5’2 and it fits perfectly for her also. The materials used (mesh and frame) are identical to the Aeron - you cannot tell the difference. It’s still very expensive for a headrest but it is excellent quality. The customer service is excellent and they say they will take it back if I’m not happy in any way. I will be keeping it.

does what it should and fits original chair perfectly
