Atlas was released later by a couple of years, but one of its founders was known to work for Herman Miller’s design. Recently, they released a version with “suspension mesh” which now makes them a worthy competitor for Engineered Now. The mesh used on their headrest is from the same supplier that supplies for the production of Aeron Chairs. Aesthetically, they should match very well since the material is the same. Size difference Below are the main differences based on the latest design. The OEM are the direct production line, so they may react swiftly and make amendments for various reasons. We can’t guarantee that the designs will always be the same. Any changes are supposed to be improvements or necessary. If it requires you to drill a hole on your chair, or you feel like any part attaching to the chair will damage your Aeron Chair, then yes, it will void the warranty. Aeron Chair Recommended Headrests Other than some minor tweaks to improve the design a little. Can’t tell the quality difference between the OEM and the original Engineered One Headrest. You can see for yourself below. The biggest difference is the PRICE, and it’s becoming very popular. As for workmanship, the Atlas fares better on the finishing. Atlas’s new mesh headrest hasn’t been around for long, but we believe they are also well made.

They call it the suspension mesh, and it is a little springy, which is quite similar to the HR03/HR04. We have a guide to help you through the process of selecting the proper headrest, but before you go there, here are 4 steps you might find helpful.However, we haven’t heard much of such complaints, probably because the suspension mesh from Atlas conforms to the head’s shape and sinks well into the correct depth, resting like a firm pillow. Overall, these are the best headrests available for the Aeron chair. Each with its strength and weaknesses, and which is better depends on what you deem as more important. The Engineered Now headrest fare slightly better in adjustability and ergonomics. While the Atlas fare slightly better in design and material. 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.

Headrest Type: You will need to decide which type of head support you would like, either a cushion type in Fabric or Vegan Leather, or the Suspension type, which will match the mesh on your chair. The cushion and suspension headrest have different comfort attributes. Feel free to reach out if you need help deciding which is right for you. Please note that Atlas Headrest does not cover aesthetics such as scratches or scuffs, or abuse such as fabric rips, snags, soiled, or stained.

It is highly adjustable, but it rests at a taller height. We recommend the HR04 option be considered only for people with 180cm / 5 feet 11 and above. Offices take a long time to develop and to get into the condition you would have expected, it is simply a fact. Few things in life can be quite as hard to organise, at least at fair cost, as an office for your staff. However, if you are looking to buy quality used office furniture such as seating, then you are in the right place. Thanks to our growing range of used Herman Miller Aeron chairs, you can get all of the support that you could possibly need to make a big difference.

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. It appears that the Engineered Now Headrest patent has probably expired. Imitation Engineered One headrests are flooding the market, most are coming from China, and we have bought at least 10 from different factories and tried them out. Some have a very toxic odour, some have a flimsy build, and some are ill-fitting.

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 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). When you first receive your Atlas Headrest, we encourage you to try out many different positions and angles with both the vertical and horizontal adjustments, as well as the upward and downward tilt possibilities. Find a tension setting on your knobs that will support your head while allowing for easy adjustability.
