2020 made my obsess over an office chair and im binge watching headrest reviews Interesting times. Great video. Thanks!

Thanks ever so much for this comparison. Just what I needed.

Great video, at first I thought the Atlas was a rip off because I thought mesh would be the closest thing to HM OEM, but I can see how the Atlas is the clear winner when it comes to design and comfort.

Very detailed and in-depth review, thank-you very much!

Excellent video 👍🏿 . I liked and subscribed. Thank you for taking the time for it will try to purchase the headrest thru your link so hopefully you can profit for your work.

Thank you so much for your informations. it really helpful to decide what I have to purchase it. Appreciate it!!

The Atlas has been on my aeron’s for years at work, and now on my personal chair. Absolutely love it. The only, slight, issue I’ve had is if I’m wearing a ball cap with a Velcro adjustment strap, it’ll stick to the headrest.

Appreciate the accurate and honest review, thank you. I went with the Atlas and love it. Totally recommend it for Aeron Chairs over anything else. Atlas is far superior, can loosen tension and get it perfectly set, then lock it in, which BTW, they updated the four screws for this to tension knobs on newest models, making it even better. Atlas is much more comfortable and stable. Depth settings go further forward than any other I tried, probably more than most humans will require. It's perfectly awesome Atlas gave the extra, most headrests are annoyingly just a little too far (or woefully too far) back at maximum...especially in recline. You want to pitch your head a little extra forward to rest comfortable...like a bed pillow watching TV. Had no issues with headphones, but I'm not using huge cans. Thanks again, helped me not make a bad decision, return, wait for another...again. :)

Great review, thanks Jake!

Great information. I wish HM offered a headrest but the Atlas looks the most logically designed.

Very nice review...thank you. I'm glad I saw it since I was looking at the H4. I only wish I could lean back and stare at the same view you have. :-)

Nice video and thanks for the info! I just got the aeron headset h4 and had trouble installing it and your video answered my question. My current issue is that the metal hold and the single screw were shipped to me unassembled. When I tried to put them together before putting the whole thing on my chair, the long straight screw just would not get into the hole on the top at all, let alone holding the metal curved piece. Should I keep on trying or is this a defect? Thanks!

thanks for making this easy for me

Hey, Thanks for the video, I was actually thinking about the Atlas and came across this video. I think it would do everything I would be looking for. Also, Nice headphones. D2000? that's what it looks like. I had those but mine broke beyond repair after about 10 years so I replaced it a couple years ago with X00's... identical in shape but sound is a lot better, closer to the D5000. Well, now I have to figure out how i'm going to afford the atlas. it's a bit more expensive than the ENjoy: HR01 I was initially considering.

Great review! I'm no expert but is the headrest supposed to support the neck by function as the contour of it suggests?

Thanks for the Comparison! helped me a lot!

I went with the Atlas when looking for a headrest for my Aeron. Didn't even consider the mesh ones because of possible hair snagging. Supposedly the Atlas was designed by the designers of the Aeron chair. The latest version of the Atlas now has adjustment knobs for the two main adjustments.

man I wish I watched this before I bought my H3 long ago, my biggest issue is no one sits perfectly straight always so if you lean a bit your head rests on the hard plastic, the looseness was an issue but if you put a lot of muscle into the screws it won't move at all. I'm gonna try to sell the H3 on Craigslist and try to get the Atlas.

As a user of the Aeron (Remastered & Original), I was looking for a headrest, and your video made my decision so much easier! Thanks for taking the time and producing a GREAT video! I was going to get the H4, but after watching your video, I'll be buying the Atlas.............

Lol, this guy is what i imagine the typical Aeron owner to look like.

I bought the Atlas because of your review - thank you

Thanks for the video bro

Thank you for your video. I recently purchased a Aeron because of hip issues and I have been looking for a headrest. I do have a quick unrelated question. Was there a car accident at 6:01? I heard something and it made me flinch

Thanks for that very detailed comparison video. Just a nitpick, though, as a rule of thumb you should really be facing your light source instead of having your back to it. Then again, maybe the opposing wall is painted dark and that wouldn’t do for detail highlighting. 😆

Totally needed this video in my life. Thanks for this one. Btw where do you live? This view is awesome

would it be possible to put a next message on any of these headrest?

Which atlas headrest was this? The Atlas Fabric headrest or the Synthetic leather? And whats the difference between the two? Thanks!

thank you jake

Are there any headrests that can be attached to sayl?

"Okay class, today we're going to go over three different head rests. " David Van Driessen.

That Engineer Headrest is supposed to match the Aeron Remastered Graphite, from what I can gather.

why do you have a cushion on the chair? Isn't it supposed to be comfortable by default? At that price it should be.

Is that the aeron C or B, I'm 6' 4" and I can only find size B used. Should I go for the B or Look for another chair

I work as an orthopaedist and our clinic had often recommended Aeron chairs to our patients. I've got the 2 mentioned headrest in the video. The ones we got are the Atlas and the Engineered One HR-03. I won't go into the looks and installation and explain the technicalities in simpler terms. The HR-03 with its mesh fabric will have better heat dissipation, that's for the same purpose why Aerons are using mesh. The cushion on the Atlas does trap heat which will eventually cause discomfort and the user to fidget, getting the user out of the proper posture. Especially in places where the weather is hot in humid, or in summer. It's really not recommended. The second thing about the headrest, we compared the positioning. The HR-03 is highly adjustable and can be pulled back, decreasing the distance the head gets pushed forward.The Atlas protrudes too forward and there's no way to draw back much, this causes the forward head syndrome which adds stress to the neck, which also causes the spine to angulate improperly. Last will be on movement, as movement encourages healing and circulation. The Atlas is pretty fixated but does an alright job. The HR-03 can tilt and goes up and down in a synchronised manner which will be more ideal. Overall, we recommend the HR-03. Hope the information helps.

Is there any way to have a headrest for Herman Miller Embody chair?

Do they work for the HM Mirra?

Thanks a lot

Ty. an informed consumer is a smart consumer. and a more fiscally abundant consumer.

Would any headrest from Amazon work with this or do you specifically need to get a Herman miller branded one to work?

When I click on the link to buy the atlas through your video it says the Amazon it’s currently unavailable please advise? I’d like to buy it but I’d also like for you to get credit because you made a good video

Do they make headrest for cars and trucks

Spent $300 on the chair, not sure if I need to spend $170+ for the headrest lol

what a beatiful view ! where is that place !??

Did you mention how tall you are?

what is that chair rated for in weight? im 240 pounds and don't want to break the chair

I bought an EN headrest on Amazon while waiting for the Atlas headrests to come back into stock (they sell out fast). I really enjoy the mesh feeling; it's really unbeatable for neck comfort. The dealbreaker for me is that the EN's range of motion is bizarre. This video doesn't really illustrate it fully but the mechanism moves the headrest around in an arc rather than being free to move in three dimensions. Sometimes I like to slump down when reclining in my chair, and the EN H4 just couldn't go low enough to get into the crook of my neck. The Atlas doesn't have that problem at all, but I have to admit I don't like the fabric as much as the mesh. The range of motion is PERFECT though. Fortunately, Atlas offers headrest "replacements" and you can get a mesh one that's compatible with the fabric pillow's mounting hardware. I will probably get the mesh one and just swap them out as needed. Edit: I have purchased the mesh replacement pillow for my Atlas headrest and it's definitely my favourite of the three. It combines the comfort of mesh with Atlas' superior range of motion. After a few months, I still found the fabric headrest to be really uncomfortable and hard, and not like comfy memory foam as I'd expect. I honestly think they either cheaped out on the pillows or they just were never good to begin with. The mesh is astoundingly comfortable because it uses the exact same mesh as the chair itself.

i bought the atlas and holycrap it is expensive. After the shipping and currency conversion the total cost amounted to 260 dollars from 139.

Nice view! Where is this?

How tall are you? I am 6'1" and trying to get a feel for it.

Did you not like the stock headrests from Aeron?

so expensive for a headrest >.

I've got both these types. For someone with serious neck problems, I've found them both to be not perfect, but ended up using the H3 even though the fact that it moves when you don't want it to is trash.

How tall are you?

how tall are you?

Will this fit the Mirra 2 chair?

Nice vid and vew How tall are you or how long is your torso(seating position to the position of the atlis on back of head ? On the h4 looks like the mounting clows wuld dig in to my sholders/back(I thaink I might have a toler torso that the aeron #c) but out of all the chairs in the world the h4+aeron is the only 1 long anuf for my back+head :( I need back+head peace to have the hight of 32"-38" the only other options i have for full mesh is the ergohuman and with some cut in pasting(welding) meteal pecies >_

Atlas make a mesh version that matches the chair.

where does he live? I can only focus on what's outside

so this is shroud chair

HM philosophy is not to use headrest. Headrest is not HM product.

He is obviously selling Atlas... I don't believe him.

You can make one for $30 dollars without needing a drill, come on.

Join the herman miller discord server if you need more info. Great people there. You can find it through the subreddit (r/hermanmiller)

11:10 is pretty much the only reason you need to not buy the garbage H3 and just buy the Atlas one. Am in the process of getting amazon to refund the absolute fisher-price shitcake of engineering that is the H3. I assume the same applies to the H4 (lanky version of the H3).

There is a 4th version of the headrest found on ebay, i have one. They cost a fraction of ones in your demo. Looks similar to the 3rd one, works great ...

You needed to water your tomato's.

You are tall , to tall for the first headrest...hmmm - don't tell us exactly how tall you are - we will guess

How tall are you?
