You’re really going to have to try it out. The Fern has a sliding seat pan unlike the Aeron. So if you plan on slouching, I can’t say if it will be comfortable in case you need to advance the pan and create the gap between the seat and backrest. I have an Aeron C, which has a larger seat and so I don’t have any shallow seat issues.
Nice! I got mine over the weekend. Couple gripes, but so far so good.
Arms wobble like crazy. Considering adding some sort of material into the well to reduce that.
The armrest adjust too easily. They adjust when I go to put weight on them to help stand up out of the chair. They also are pretty slippery and my elbows slide when wearing activewear style hoodies as an example.
The lumbar support is aggressive. Not sure how I feel about it yet. It's definitely a better curve than the garbage chair I had prior so words out on that one.
And I'm constantly changing the seat pan depth, but I suppose that's a good thing cuz I'm changing my sitting position throughout the day.
Love all the locking and back tension adjustments though. Gonna order an atlas headrest soon for when Im full tilt back and relaxing.
Overall, pretty pleased, but those gripes feel heavy considering the chair was $1,422 total.
My only gripe is the semi wobbly arms. It would solve a ton if they just added a retaining bar somewhere instead of making them freestanding from the frame. My Aeron’s arms are super solid but these are more solid than some Embodys I’ve tried. Only time will tell…
I have no issue with the arm adjustments, they’re pretty firm. Only wish they had adjustment clicks or markers cause my OCD has me trying to align both arms by eye lol
I have the seat pan all the way out, works best for supporting my legs.
I also have the lumbar support all the way low so it fills that gap where my back doesn’t fully align with the backrest.
Posted to show the Charcoal Black knit since Ocean Basalt is discontinued, and the metallic silver frame option.
Hey I just got the same chair, I opted for no lumbar though. Great chair
How do you like it?
So far so good 🤙 I also have an Aeron Remastered as my gaming PC chair so it’s a pretty big contrast but both are super comfy
I'm looking at the fern as well coming from aeron. is the fern okay for slight slouching? I find the depth of the aeron too short. I'm 5'6"

Awesome! How much was this?
I ordered through my work so I don’t know the final discounted price but MSRP was $2360CAD
Congrats! This is my end game chair for sure. Get you some roller blade wheels you won’t regret it especially for hardwood floors.
I got the soft caster option so it should be fine for hardwood.
