Engineered Now Original Headrest for the Herman Miller Aeron H3 Carbon Chair | Colors and Meshes Corresponding to the Aeron Classic Chair 2016 and earlier models

Great quality product -Industrial scale engineering -just like the Classic HM Aeron chair its going on. A perfect match for the chair, so close that it looks like it was made by the chair manufacture themselves. Very easy to fix on, secure and adjust. Expensive -but definitely getting the same quality as the chair... and relatively speaking probably better value than the chair itself.

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.

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 headrest In 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!

I have had my Herman Aeron chair for a number of years, and always thought this was the missing link in the form of a Headrest/support. Found this and thought, well this could make a perfect chair even better. I have not been disappointed, and so easy to fit too. Quite simply slide on, and tighten, then make some final adjustments for positioning. Yes, its a little on the expensive side, but the quality of build and fit makes it very worthwhile. Also usual kudos to Amazon for the swift delivery. Now my Zoom calls are done in comfort with the right level of support at the desk.

it is a good product which easy to install and the supporting is excellent,

It’s priced so highly because fools like us who are willing to spend a fortune on an office chair are also willing to spend a fortune on a neck rest for said office chair. I can’t blame the manufacturers : it’s a niche object incredibly well constructed and it does exactly what I wanted it to do.

Whilst an improvement on the original designs I'm surprised at the high price now it's arrived, I get the impression this headrest has been priced according to the chair price which isn't justified after all it's 99% plastic. Whilst I appreciate Herman Miller should have considered offering a head rest option for the Aeron, it's good that VendorGear have designed one, unfortunately version 2 is flawed but better than version 1. This headrest has two swivel points, the main for the compete headrest has a locking lever allowing the position to be set but there are no interlocking teeth to lock it into position when the lever is in the lock position so the locking process purely relies on the swivel screw tension, this means occasionally the swivel screw will require tightening by removing the plastic cap and using the Alen key provided.The headrest on my previous chair clicked to each position then stayed in that position until the next adjustment. The mesh pad has an angle adjustment which means it also swivels but doesn't have a lock lever so it has to be adjusted purely against the swivel joint friction which means it will loosen more often and require tightening. As the Herman Miller Aeron chair is reclined the headrest position will require adjustment so if you recline as frequently as I do you will need to adjust the headrest which means you will be tightening the swivel screws more often. Spring loaded mechanisms work better The Mesh pad also incorporates basic height adjustment, it slides up and down two thin bars, when I adjust it to the top and place my head on the pad it slides to the bottom of the bars and there's no way to tighten it so this function is a waste of time. I now see why this headrest came with an Alen key and two spare caps, tightening the swivel screws to increase friction will become a common event. I'm by no means a design engineer but this headrest is riddled with basic flaws as follows 1. The locking mechanisms shouldn't rely on friction alone, it's not rocket science to incorporate a more positive locking process, the basic spring loaded click mechanism works and relies less on friction. 2. The headrest angle adjustment doesn't incorporate a lock lever which makes it more prone to becoming loose and requiring tightening. A spring loaded pull pin on one side with locking holes positioned through the rotation range would resolve this one. Pull the pin reposition the pad to the preferred hole position and the spring locates the pin to hold the headrest in the new position. 3. The pad height adjustment is a waste of time it slides down to the lowest position and can't be tightened which means it stays at the lowest position. Due to the lack of a tightening mechanism the sliding process will cause wear so the plastic pad guides will become loser over time and remain loose. This would be resolved by a simple locking lever to reduce friction during position adjustment and increase friction to hold position similar to the process used on the main swivel but less prone to becoming loose due to less weight being involved vertically as opposed to back and forward on the main swivel. 4. The Aeron comes with a 12yr warranty, this head rest looks as though it may last up to perhaps 5yrs depending on use. For the price it should have been designed in keeping with the chairs design life. At this rate if I keep my chair 10yrs+ I'm most likely going to require at least two head rests. If the improvement from version 1 to version 2 is anything to go on version 3 will be better but most likely double the price again. Some of you may say why didn't I buy a chair incorporating a headrest, my answer is, the ergonomics of the Aeron is the best I've experienced for posture and comfort, I need this for a medical issue with my neck and the adjustable positioning of this headrest helps but version 2 could have been better designed, all the points I've raised are basic issues.

Decent product. A bit loose on the chair. I had to add some foam to make the fit sung tight. Would have given 5stars if not for this.

Support efficace et bien monté, matériaux de qualité et possibilité de réglages en hauteur et en inclinaison.

Very comfortable, and looks reliable. On char like native part

Super Ergänzung zu dem tollen Stuhl. Die Kopfstütze passt von Material und Machart perfekt zum Stuhl. Die Beschwerden über die Verstellbarkeit kann ich nicht nachvollziehen. Es liegt eine Anleitung bei, wie man die Schrauben fester zieht. Mein Expemplar ist aber gut eingestellt. Man kann die Höhe gerade noch im Sitzen nachstellen. Größere Männer sollten die H4 nehmen. Ich bin knapp 1,80 groß (allerdings ein Sitzriese) und diese Größe passt noch so gerade eben.

I always wanted an Aeron Chair, but couldn't justify the cost in my mind. So, for years I've bought knockoffs, chairs with a pellicle like seat and back, or often a conventional seat and just the back with a pellicle like fabric. I'd usually spend less than $300 for the "almost Aeron" chair, and inevitably be disappointed. Finally, I broke down and purchased a genuine Aeron chair. It was much, much better than the knock offs. Was it worth the high price? It's still hard to wrap my head around the cost, but it is clearly a better chair than any I've had in the past. The only thing it needed was a head rest. I can't believe that Herman Miller missed the opportunity to sell a headrest for the Aeron chair. Remember, this chair has more options than a new car... posture fit, lumbar support, a variety of arms and casters. The one unavailable option. and, IMO, an absolute necessity, is the headrest. So, looking for a comfy headrest that matches the chair, I came across this one. I once was 5'10" though age and gravity have taken their toll, and I bought a size C chair to accommodate my girth. The H3 is a perfect fit for the chair, looks like an OEM part. It allows me to lean back and chillax in comfort, while pondering or napping. The H3 was a better fit for me than the H4, not to mention $30 less. Which brings me once again to the issue of price. Is it reasonable that this little piece of plastic and fabric should cost $149? No more so than the cost of an Aeron chair reaching $7-800 or more. Nevertheless, it's a great chair, and the headrest makes it complete, a vast improvement over the headrestless version.

I was shopping for a new chair because although my chair was high quality and comfortable I really wanted a head rest. Then I came across this. I didn't consider that such a thing might exist. I Just installed it and I'm pleased. It's appearance and sturdiness matches the chair perfectly. I think it's very comfortable. I can already tell this is something I was sorely missing working all day, every day on this chair. The adjustability is good, you just have to kinda learn how it behaves. The range of adjustability is large. I like that I can either have this support the curve of my neck, or I can move it up and back to have it support my head.
