Atlas Headrest Review: The Perfect Upgrade for Your Herman Miller Aeron or Embody Chair

If you're already using a Herman Miller Aeron or Embody chair, you’re familiar with how well these chairs support posture and comfort. But there’s one thing they don’t come with by default — a headrest. That's where the Atlas Headrest steps in.

Why Add a Headrest?

Long hours at the desk can lead to neck strain and upper-back fatigue. While the Aeron and Embody offer excellent lumbar and pelvic support, they miss one thing: cervical (neck) support.

The Atlas Headrest was designed by former Herman Miller engineers, so it integrates seamlessly in terms of aesthetics, ergonomics, and build quality. It looks and feels like it belongs to the chair.

Key Benefits of the Atlas Headrest

🔧 Easy to Install

No tools or technical knowledge required. Just clamp it on and adjust.

🎯 Ergonomic Support Where You Need It

Helps reduce neck strain during long work or gaming sessions. Ideal for leaning back during calls, breaks, or casual reading.

🌀 Fully Adjustable

• Height: Move it up or down to align with your head
• Tilt: Adjust the angle for your posture
• Depth: Fine-tune how far it sits from the backrest

🧵 Built to Match

Same premium mesh and materials used on the Aeron and Embody chairs — the Atlas doesn’t look like an add-on, it looks OEM.

Why Not Just Use a Pillow?

Office pillows and third-party attachments tend to sag, slip, or clash with the chair’s design. The Atlas is built specifically for Herman Miller chairs. It maintains the clean silhouette and delivers professional-grade comfort.

Is It Worth It?

If you spend 6+ hours a day in your chair, absolutely. The Atlas Headrest completes the ergonomic experience — especially for those who enjoy reclining occasionally. It’s a smart investment for anyone serious about posture, productivity, or long-term comfort.

Final Thoughts

You’ve already invested in one of the best chairs in the world. The Atlas Headrest takes it one step further — adding upper-body support that your neck will thank you for. Whether you’re using the Aeron Classic, Aeron Remastered, or the Embody, this headrest fits like a glove.
