OFFICE LOGIX SHOP Headrest Designed for The Herman Miller Aeron Chair

Alright. Review time after a couple of weeks of testing. The contents of the packaging are all you need basically. As a guy with too much junk hanging around, I don’t want unnecessary parts and extras: an instruction manual and the headrest. Fine be me! Next was the installation stage. It should be simple since all you have to do is hooking the thing up. But for some reason I decided to play around with those knobs on the side and took it apart. I seriously panicked cause I thought I destroyed the thing. Luckily, the instructions video here showed me how to reassemble it and hook it up perfectly. I promise I won’t make fun of how-to videos again because it’s apparent they’re meant for clumsy people like me haha.Anyways, this headrest is functioning properly as advertised by these guys. It does the job and I literally took a nap resting my head on it. It’s too comfortable, but again, I’m that type of person who’s ready to nap at any given moment.

Edit: It appears the headrest I originally bought is not the same one that is currently listed. This style, the one with metal bars the headrest slides on, is not the style I reviewed and does not match the Aeron aesthetically in any way.At the time of writing, the closest equivalent to what I originally purchased is the Fortaleza. The one I purchased almost 4 years ago is still going strong and I love it! I need to buy a black one to match the new Gaming Aeron I purchased and that is the one I'll be getting again!----------------After having the headrest for almost 2 months, I find myself utilizing it more than I initially thought. As comfortable as my Aeron is, I find myself watching Netflix at my computer more than on my TV and couch. It's nice to be able to lean back and relax.I have noticed the initial height that I set the headrest to was a bit too high, but with the one button adjustment, I can set it to the proper height without needing to get up. Nice feature.Pros- Fabric almost perfectly matches that of the Aeron's fabric. I have a traditional black "Classic" Aeron, which I believe is called charcoal, and I can't distinguish the difference in color.- Installation was relatively easy- Headrest is comfortable due to the floating fabric. There is an air gap between it and the plastic backing allowing the fabric to absorb your head a bit.- It feels relatively solid and not likely to break with age. See cons.Cons- No tools or instructions came with my headrest. Thankfully being a hobbyist mechanic, it was intuitive enough to figure out and had a spare 10mm or 3/8" Allen wrench already.- The fabric appears to be of an inferior quality to the kind that is in the Aeron. I looks like it may sag with heavy or abusive use.- While general construction is solid, the height adjustment has a bit too much play for my liking. It can wobble a bit. I don't feel it will break, but being used to the quality of the Aeron, it feels wrong.- Price. I paid about $120 at the time. It's currently $100 at the time of this updated review. Based on all factors, this should sell for about $70-$80.SummaryOverall, it's a good headrest and rounds out the Aeron fairly nicely. The plastic backing is out of place when next to the rest of the chair, but I feel it fits the chair nicer than the other "premium" headrest on Amazon. I'd definitely buy it again, but only if it was less than $100.Original ReviewJust received this headrest 48 hours ago. Installation was easy and matches very well with the Aeron chair. As the product is new, I'll leave a more detailed review in a couple of weeks but so far I'm overly happy with it, even at the $120 price point.

To say this headrest is a complete piece of garbage would be an understatement.Not only does the headrest not fit onto the Aaron chair, but the fit is so tight that the product actually left scratches on the backside of my $1600 chair while attempting to “simply slide” it on.The clamping mechanism is terribly designed and the metal part that wraps around the top edge of the chair isn't even close to fitting flush. Also, no matter how hard you tighten the headrest adjustments it will not stay in place. To top it all off, the product was also shipped with chips and scratches on the back.When I purchased this product I trusted that this company had done their research and tested it properly before selling it to the public. Turns out I was wrong and now I am left with a damaged expensive office chair because of it. If you can take anything from this review learn from my mistake and DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT.

I’ve got this Herman Miller Aeron headrest last month and Amazon sent me an email asking me about my feedback. Here’s my 2 cents.I don't usually buy my stuff from Amazon since my husband does it all the time, but I actually made this purchase personally. I had to scan every and each review here before buying to make sure I'm getting what's advertised, and that I did. Yes the price is not expensive but I don't like to waste time and money.Before listing what I like about the herman miller Aeron headrest, have noticed some comments about the knobs not being tight enough and how the headrest moves with the head’s weight. Also, some other comment mentioned the lack of tools to get it up and running, and to be frank I got a bit worried. The advertised features are what I was looking for so I wasn't ready to let go. I tracked down the seller and asked them about the nature of the reviews. They assured me that there was a defect in one of the batches and it's solved on the spot and they got rid of the defected items. They promised to fully reimburse me if I faced any of those problems along with a 2 year warranty. So I decided to pull the trigger on this one.I received the headrest two days later and the first thing I did after hooking it to my Aeron chair is to test those problems. Setting it up didn’t take more than two minutes since it’s a spring a connection so no tools were needed anyway. As for the headrest failing under head’s pressure, this problem was not present. It seems that it was actually fixed. I even tried to force my head backwards on the headrest to test if it’s going to move against its knobs, but it stayed in place like it’s supposed to.As for the some of the features I liked:1) Very first thing I noticed is the cute hanger on the back of the headrest. I always hated having my purse on the desk or on the floor2) Since I’m not a very tall woman, having the option to change the headrest’s height is a nice touch3) The actual headrest is extremely comfortable. It feels good resting my head on4) As a person with osteoarthritis, being able to adjust the headrest in different ways helps. Anyone with similar conditions knows how unbearable it is to keep your neck straight5) I don’t usually break my stuff so I can’t comment on the durability. Although, it doesn’t seem that it will break anytime soon.My only comment is I wish they had more color options.To be fair, this Herman Miller headrest for aeron chairs is a very good addition to an excellent chair. It is extremely useful for people with back and neck problems, especially those with medical conditions. According to the seller, the mentioned problems in the previous comments were all solved and I personally tested the headrest to make sure they were. My husband is thinking about buying an Aeron chair as well, so I will order another headrest for him soon.

I should have listened to the other reviews - this product simply DOES NOT WORK. All its joints are loose no matter how I tighten the knobs. For this much money, it is unforgivable. I have returned mine and will buy one from some reputable brand.
