The Atlas Headrest for Haworth Fern was born from customer creativity and refined through thoughtful design. When one of our loyal customers successfully modified their Atlas Aeron headrest to fit a Haworth Fern chair, our CEO, Andrew Foley, saw the potential and got to work developing a headrest made specifically for the Fern.
The result is a purpose-built, Fern-compatible headrest with the same signature comfort, quality, and adjustability customers expect from Atlas.
Key Features
-
Plush Cushioning for All-Day Comfort

Color Options
Available in Black, Light Grey, and Haworths Coal Runner fabric, these popular finishes complement most Haworth Fern chair colors. -
Custom Fern Adapter Kit
Each headrest includes a proprietary adapter that transforms our Aeron-based arm mechanism into a version engineered specifically for the Fern—no extra parts or tools needed!
Fabric Details
The headrest cushion is made from the same soft, breathable spandex fabric featured in our Aeron Cushion model:
- Durable and anti-pilling
- Smooth texture prevents hair snags
- Flexible and maintains a clean, professional look over time
Lightweight and smooth with a stretch similar to spandex. This is the same fabric used in the Aeron Cushion headrest.
A clean, neutral finish designed to match the most common light-tone Fern chairs.
Runner Fabric
The Haworth Runner fabric on this soft, cushioned headrest is crafted from soft, resilient fibers providing lasting durability. Its smooth, breathable texture offers complete support and comfort, gently cradling your head while maintaining a premium, refined feel. Designed to be a 1:1 match for Haworth's Runner Mesh fabric, it delivers both style and functionality for all-day use.

Our Grey Runner fabric is not an exact color match to Haworth's currently available grey Runner fabric options.
