Reddit reviews Lorell Hi-Back Chair Mesh Headrest, Black - LLR85562

If you can't find a Herman Miller Aeron 2nd hand I would recommend this Lorell executive chair from [Amazon] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0074GX2YE/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) with the extra [headrest] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00P85C6OU/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1). I did a ton of research on best bang for the buck chairs at the beginning of med school and after looking through tons of reviews, this one seemed to have the most people who were satisfied years after purchase while fitting within my sub-200 budget.

I've sat it in everyday studying for >8 hours for almost 2 years now and it's still as comfortable as day 1. The seat and arm cushions haven't worn down at all. The mesh backing has stayed taut and is very breathable. The headrest is super comfortable. The adjustments are solid and it has a great recline. Set up is easy too. Obviously this is no Aeron but if you don't want to go 2nd hand, I think this is a fantastic option.

I actually attached this headrest to my chair and it works really great. Proper position and adjustability.

I did have to drill holes since the pre-drilled holes on the chair didn't align with the holes on the headset. But it certainly beats paying an extra $150.

Great tips, I ended up buying this chair and I recommend it to anyone due to how adjustable it is:
Alera ALEEL41ME10B Elusion Series... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0049UCECE?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf $187 currently, I bought mine open box for less and it has no problems.

And this headrest bolts right on:

I’m 6’ 1” 170lbs and this chair has all of the adjustments anyone could want and is very comfortable and supportive. I used to exacerbate sciatic nerve pain in my leg and hip when I’d sit in my old cheap office chair, it doesn’t hurt in this chair.

See Camel3 for more price information and to track it if you need to wait for a deal, my open box purchase was just a damaged packaging, but they come in once in awhile: https://camelcamelcamel.com/Alera-ALEEL41ME10B-Elusion-High-Back-Multifunction/product/B0049UCECE?context=search

You can probably get these all online, but Lowe's was cheaper.

2 x 3.5" tarp hooks - https://www.lowes.com/pd/National-Hardware-Tarp-Hook/1000490357

2 x 1/4-20 nuts - just check the assorted nuts area

2 x 1/4-28 nuts - just check the assorted nuts area

2 x 1/4" Fender Washer - just check the assorted nuts area

2 x furniture glides with 1/4-20 threading - the ones I got at lowe's were Softtouch 4603695LW just look in the area where the other furniture felt bottoms etc are, I used these for reference (can't find the lowe's listing online) https://www.amazon.com/SoftTouch-Leveling-Glides-Straight-Furniture/dp/B001W6Q4U6

The tarp hooks are just the right height that when you mount the headrest to the lower holes and slip the hooks under the back, the top holes pop just above the chair allowing you to attach the glides to hold it steady from the top of the chair with tension.

Headrest comes with 2 screws, use those to attach to the tarp hook with fender washer + the 1/4-28 nuts, hook into back, then attach the glides and nut them into place as well.

Guy on amazon reviews suggested it, and it worked out very wel. You can't adjust the depth of the headrest, which is the only complaint I would leverage, but I feel it's at a fine position, and you can easily move it up and down while attached. Overall it's a way cheaper alternative to the other ones designed 'for' an Aeron

Nope. I used to sit in an Aeron at work, I personally hated it...

I have a high back mesh chair made by Lorell and added on a headrest. I've had mesh chairs at work for years and I'm a big fan. It's not plush like a big leather chair, but it's still comfortable and breathes so well. This chair has good adjustability; the seat can be moved forward/backwards independent of the back and then it has your standard adjustments.

Very nice, wish I could justify owning one on top of a nice PC. Already love my surface book so much.

I think I can see a Lorell chair there, I recently got this headrest for it and am very happy with it compared to the plain hard plastic top. https://www.amazon.com/Lorell-Hi-Back-Chair-Headrest-Black/dp/B00P85C6OU/

I'm 5'11" and about 210. Usually I can get a year out of a chair before it goes to hell. This one I bought two years ago and still love it as much as the day I bought it.

It's really comfy and has lots of adjustments to fit your sitting style.
I bought an attachable headrest for it as well the link is below.
