My New #1 Chair Pick - Haworth Fern

A TON of people have been asking me to check out the Haworth Fern and I'm so glad they did because this chair blew me away. It brings together the best design elements from every high end chair. I even brought in my tall friend to review it. It's now tied for my #1 chair pick. Let's get Ahnest.

This video is SPOT ON! I'm 6'1" and 165 lbs and went deep into the market, spending hours in stores trying every Steelcase, Herman Miller and Haworth model. Like you said at 4:29 the problem with so many is that you can feel the bottom through the cushion. So I've come down to the same 2: HM Embody and Haworth Fern.
Embody Pros: best seat hands down!
Embody Cons: lumbar is quite firm by design and the armrests go all the way forward to my wrist crease and do not adjust front/back. Higher price.
Fern Pros: thicker cushion than competitors, tall back with the best combo of support and comfort (I found the optional adjustable lumbar option is necessary)
Fern Cons: the seat gap issue is real - would be a deal breaker if my legs were any longer but I seem to be ok 2-3 clicks from the max extension. If you're under 6ft ignore this con.

FERN UPGRADE - I've got fern and it's silent when you upgrade the noisy wobbling hand rests. Take them out from the chair base sleeves (you need to push from the bottom) and then insert a small plastic (1, 5-2mm thick) in between the sleeves and the arm rest inserts to fill the gap. You can also use a duck tape to tighten the inserts because they are from 2 parts so you could take the arm rests out but since they are not tight the whole arm rests are wobbly and noisy. When you duck tape the two parts together the arms rests are then sturdy and make no noise.
If you have lumbar and it starts to make squeaking noises you need to take the fabric down then the front mesh then the lumbar pillow and then you put some vaseline on the metal moving parts of the lumbar. Then you put everything back together and it's like new.

Bought this fully loaded from a local authorized reseller for $700. Love it. Way better than the embody, aeron, leap v2. Have never been in a more comfortable chair than the fern

[buccianti]

Chair looks amazing and feels exceptionally well-built. Very quiet with no creaks or squeaks. The fatal flaw is that the seat pan is not long enough for tall people (I'm 6'3"). The seat pan IS adjustable but if you sit with good posture, straight up, and move the seat pan forward all the way or even one click short of maximum length, your behind will be sitting on the very edge of the back of the seat cushion with a large gap between the back of the seat and the back rest.

the music at the start makes me feel like i'm blasting off into space.
sitting on this chair looks as if it'll make me feel like i'm in space.























sweet.

When Dan says "s-tier ergo chair" it goes onto the short list for me. Thanks for all the reviews Dan. Production value seems much higher in this video. New space?

Just got my Fern with all the bells and whistles, couldn't be happier. Used Crandall and save some real money. Thanks!!! U da man and Jesus is Lord! Merry Christmas, he is the reason of the season.

My uncle worked for Herman Miller for 15+ years, so my brother and I ended up with aerons that had been sitting around not being used. Now 7+ years later after acquiring my aeron, it's just completely worn out and would be too cost prohibitive to repair. Nowadays, my uncle works for Haworth! I just ordered a base model Fern with lumbar adjustment at employee pricing, super stoked to get it and experience all the hype! Thanks for the video, I now have high expectations 🤣

[CalebAS]

I've had this chair for about 6 months while working from home and gaming and its been great and couldn't agree more. Best value chair there is!

[hmynkgu]

Finally the review I was waiting for, but I already bought a used Fern for 400€ and I am totally happy with it. The thing that make me wonder, are the prices here in Germany. You can get the Fern show in the video for around 1300€ to 1600€, depending on the dealer. Without lumbar support, tild adjustment, fixed armrest and basic fabric for 900€. In comparison the Herman miller embody only costs 1200€ from a local dealer.
Thanks for your great reviews. Which made the decision so much easier.
Ps: Tested the gesture as well and I totally agree, you can feel the bottom.

I'm having such a hard time finding a chair I like with a head rest. But boy do I like that this is finally in a fun colour

[UtiliTerran]

Less than a year later and price is up to $1, 245.00

Great review. Owner of a Fern for 1.5y now and although I have some issues with it, I can confidently say your review is on point and shows the main traits of the chair. I will point out 3 things that I would correct (but it's also a bit opinionated): the seat is a bit too firm for me but I do have a harsher seat fabric (felt/wool); the armrests, while being super adjustable and having stupid side range, they won't stay in place as much as I'd like; finally I want to note the lumbar support may not be for everyone despite not being too pronounced, but it CAN be removed (you can look it up on the chair manuals online, it's tricky but possible).

[Aaron_Lesse]

I'm glad Yong chimed in on this chair. At a similar height and weight, I'm also particular about how the high back feels against my shoulders. Some chairs get everything else right for me but it's still a deal breaker when my shoulders hit the frame or stick out.

[JBoya]

Thanks having Yong on. I am not quite as tall as him, but love my Embody for the same reasons. I was able to get mine for $1200 or so a few years back when people weren't all working from home.

[joshuaroberts]

I am a tall freak of nature 6ft6in. I bought a custom version for my work office. I loved it so much I bought another one for my home office. The cylinder is amazing. They even offer a tall cylinder.

[freedonx]

So just tried a Fern in the Haworth store. 7 months after buying my gaming Embody...the difference is noticeable! I felt the Fern more comfortable overall

[TylerMarsh]

A co-worker of mine had this chair. I was impressed with how comfortable it was. Def a Top 5 chair IMO.

[Asymilum]

Just picked this up for $400 no tax out the door w a local refurbisher. Excited to own it!
