In this review I compare the “Engineered Now H3” the “Engineered Now H4” and the "Atlas Headrest" add-ons for the Herman Miller Aeron chair. I review the features and appearance, installation, adjustments, performance and also spend extra time showing how these headrests work (or don't work) with headphones. Chair shown in video is the Aeron Classic size "C"

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

Thanks ever so much for this comparison. Just what I needed.
Lol, this guy is what i imagine the typical Aeron owner to look like.
lmao I have heard that before when someone (who was nerdy and knew what my chair was) was seeing my home setup the first time
I bought one off craigslist... the guy I bought it from also had a very similar look. Lol
Very nice guy, though.
With that view, I'm surprised there's not a Peloton nearby too. =8)
brogrammer or Geek Hipster?
Python guy all the way to the end :D nice video bro
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.
I wonder what your opinion to this is? +Jake Hubert

Damn hard to choose...
fake reviews done right! but you're not fooling anybody, this is too biased.
also really strange that this got so many likes but its not at the top. the other employers liked this comment and everyone else disliked it i guess
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. :)
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.
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.............
@joeyseidell - is the Remastered worth it over the original? Looking at the Aeron for the first time here.... and I can purchase one second hand/grey market for around $400 for a mint original or $550-$600 for a mint/new Remastered. Thoughts?
@b1lf hello! I had my original for about 10 years and loved it. However, it had some small design issues, which were corrected with the remastered version. If you never had an Aeron the original at a good discount may be okay. The Aeron comes with a 12 year warranty (unheard of in a chair), so that makes a new one a great purchase. I would only buy a used one if it had a warranty remaining and you’re able to pickup the remaining amount of time. Hope this helped!
Joey Seidell thanks bro! I went ahead and purchased a Aeron Remastered, fully loaded, yesterday! It’s awesome I love it
@b1lf, glad I could help. Enjoy your new Aeron and let me know if you need anything else. Thanks!
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.
Thank you so much for your informations. it really helpful to decide what I have to purchase it. Appreciate it!!
Very detailed and in-depth review, thank-you very much!
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.
Mate can you sleep with the atlas without your head fall down to the side?
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. :-)
Great review! I'm no expert but is the headrest supposed to support the neck by function as the contour of it suggests?
Did you mention how tall you are?
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.
😆
How tall are you?
Great information. I wish HM offered a headrest but the Atlas looks the most logically designed.
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.
Atlas make a mesh version
And I'll edit my comment too, to say I don't recall seeing your edit....
@@kimedwards5560 That's literally what I said.
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.
i bought the atlas and holycrap it is expensive. After the shipping and currency conversion the total cost amounted to 260 dollars from 139.
Is it worth?
Coolissim0 Unl1mited well had it for a year now. So far so good. You might want to wrap a towel around the cushion as overtime it will wear and tear.
@@Zoids-bf6op thanks. was in doubt of choosing this chair , but if I buy will buy this head rest is the cushion glued or screwed?? As I had something similiar on my chair, and I wrapped in fake leather
@@coolissimo69 i cant tell if it is stitch or sued it just looks like it is tucked inside. But i notice after awhile it starts to loosen up and creases are formed at the side. Hence, for longer lasting you may want to wrap a towel or sheet around it. Btw i bought the fabric one not the netting. Atlas headrest.
@@Zoids-bf6op Thanks for the answer, yes it is tucked in, but it should be attached or by glue or by screws. If I go on that route I am going with the faux leather.
Spent $300 on the chair, not sure if I need to spend $170+ for the headrest lol
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!
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
Good Ear! I think it absolutely was a car accident..
Great review, thanks Jake!
How tall are you?
how tall are you?
Which atlas headrest was this? The Atlas Fabric headrest or the Synthetic leather? And whats the difference between the two? Thanks!
why do you have a cushion on the chair? Isn't it supposed to be comfortable by default? At that price it should be.
so expensive for a headrest >.
yeah I know, I am doing first time research and this is killing me just as much as buying this damn chair the first time lol cant go back to anything else tho
@@von... Buy the headrest it really completes the chair. I have the h3 works great for me being 5'11"
REVO515 which size chair do you have? Size b?
@@REVO515 ayy similar height, consider buying one too
Totally needed this video in my life. Thanks for this one. Btw where do you live? This view is awesome
Thanks for the Comparison! helped me a lot!
thanks for making this easy for me
Thanks for the video bro
I bought the Atlas because of your review - thank you
Join the herman miller discord server if you need more info. Great people there. You can find it through the subreddit (r/hermanmiller)
would it be possible to put a next message on any of these headrest?
Are there any headrests that can be attached to sayl?
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
there are refurbished size C here seatingmind.com/herman-miller/aeron/?_bc_fsnf=1&Chair+Size=Size+C I'm in between choosing an Aeron or Leap v2 from them
if you are reading this and on the cusp of sizing between B and C, and you have any ass whatsoever, get the C. Im 6 foot flat, about 190 with a fatter butt and I couldn't get my ass and thighs in the B, and I'm a white dude.
Would any headrest from Amazon work with this or do you specifically need to get a Herman miller branded one to work?
There inst really a HM branded one. These are other companies. But you could really buy any. However there has been issues with alternatives cracking the chair due to how they attach on. Atlas is the that Herman Miller won't void your warranty if there should come Issues
Do they make headrest for cars and trucks
Ty. an informed consumer is a smart consumer. and a more fiscally abundant consumer.
That Engineer Headrest is supposed to match the Aeron Remastered Graphite, from what I can gather.
thank you jake
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
I believe clicking through someone's Amazon link enables a window of 24 hours for ANY product you purchase on there. Keep this in mind next time you want to support a creator who utilizes the Amazon Affiliate program!
what a beatiful view ! where is that place !??
San Francisco
John Hodges I knew this was MY city. I’ve lived in San Francisco ALL my 49 years, but near Ocean Beach and Golden Gate Park. And my home is worth $2.9M, yet was bought for $78K in December 1976. 😆

Huh huh...cool comment butt munch...or something.
Do they work for the HM Mirra?
Thanks a lot
How tall are you? I am 6'1" and trying to get a feel for it.
It's not all about your height. It's also about your torso to leg ratio. I'm 6'1", but I sit taller than my ~6'7" brother. I measured the ratios and while I skew tall torsoed, I'm well within the typical range of the population ratio wise.
I found a succinct way to demonstrate this, by sitting cross legged on the floor beside a chair, so that the silly smallness of chairs becomes apparent...
Thanks for your review, I am considering buying an Aeron chair with this headset, versus, well something else I suppose... Looked at xchair, l thought about steelcase (I have a Leap)... Recliners are just as frustrating if not more so... You haven't found any other good chairs have you?
Is there any way to have a headrest for Herman Miller Embody chair?
have not seen one yet
what is that chair rated for in weight? im 240 pounds and don't want to break the chair
I weigh 355 and I have been using an Aeron for, I would say, fourteen years, with NO problems. I have the large-hip size (I don't know what model that would be), but best chair I have had. Very skeptical in the beginning about the cost, but my wife got it because of her back problems, and I gotta tell you, I would never use another. I went out and found an other second-hand, and no problems with that either, even though it is a little smaller - perfect for my wife.
Nice view!
Where is this?
Guessing San Francisco or somewhere in the Bay Area California
Atlas make a mesh version that matches the chair.
Did you not like the stock headrests from Aeron?
they don’t exist
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.
so this is shroud chair
He is obviously selling Atlas... I don't believe him.
I haven't tried the Atlas Headrest but I can say the extreme curve of ther H3 is very uncomfortable if you're wearing headphones and even without very little pressure is required to loosen the vertical adjustment of the H3.
Will this fit the Mirra 2 chair?
where does he live? I can only focus on what's outside
Looks like San Francisco
xvzf land of the typical Aeron user stereotype
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 >_
witch one has the higher max hight ? the Engineered Now h4 or the atlas ?
Also a wiel back I read somes post on atlis braking the next day.
awsom ty for you'r time.
ok sounds good.. what vershin of herman miller aeron did you dimo the head rest on ? was it the clasic or the new herman miller aeron ? the clasic has biger tintion silender and the new one is much mo compact.
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).
HM philosophy is not to use headrest. Headrest is not HM product.
You are tall , to tall for the first headrest...hmmm - don't tell us exactly how tall you are - we will guess
He says 6' 4" in other replies
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 ...
Have you got a link to that headrest?
well then show us the link buddy
You can make one for $30 dollars without needing a drill, come on.
