Details

Engineered for effortless support, Fern stands as the undisputed leader in comfort, consistently earning top marks in independent tests. It reimagines comfort from the inside out, offering full support in a flexible back — without the need for an outer back frame. The advanced stem-based structure delivers effortless comfort that's built right in, adapting naturally to movement. 

Fern is designed with our Wave Suspension System: a comfort breakthrough that flexes to adapt to your every motion. The 3D-sculpted back contours to the curvature of your spine, delivering effortless support. More human than machine, this chair responds intuitively to make the right posture feel like second nature.

Fern isn’t just good for you — it’s good for the planet, too. With GREENGUARD Gold® certification, it’s been independently tested and proven to be free from over 10,000 chemicals, helping support cleaner air where you work.

Try it at home for 30 days. If you decide to return it, the shipping’s on us.

Fern isn’t just a chair. It’s an extension of you.

Wave Suspension System

It may look simple, but inside, Fern’s patented 3-part back system is a feat of science and design. The hidden innovation? Our patented Wave Suspension system.

Flexible Fronds

Each frond is uniquely calibrated to support a different part of your back — from the base of your neck to your lower spine — for full-length comfort that moves with you.

Cradle of Comfort

The cradle overlays the stem and fronds to create a soft, flexible frame that supports without pressure points — a feeling we call “edgeless comfort.”

Central Stem

The stem is Fern’s spine, connecting and supporting every part of the chair’s back. It anchors each frond and promotes natural flexibility with every move you make.

Obsessively researched. Undeniably the best.

The Comfort Champion

An independent ergonomics firm tested four leading chairs, including Fern. After pressure-mapping five common working postures, Fern came out on top. Every tester called it “the most comfortable.”

Sustainability, Woven In

Fern’s knit is spun from 100 % recycled polyester yarn, saving 6.3 metric tons of CO₂ a year — about the same as driving 15,000 miles or charging 766,000 smartphones. Every panel is engineered to fit one chair exactly, so nothing hits the cutting-room floor. Zero waste, full comfort.

GREENGUARD Gold® Certified

Fern is certified to meet the most rigorous standard for low chemical emissions — tested to be free of over 10,000 VOCs (volatile organic compounds) that can affect indoor air quality. The result? A chair that helps create a cleaner, healthier workspace.

Patented 3-Part System

This isn’t just inspired design. It’s patented innovation. Like the leaf it’s named for, Fern is built to move. Its exclusive three-part system — stem, fronds, and cradle — works in sync to support your every posture, flex, and flow throughout the day.

Great Chair and Excellent Customer Service

I recently purchased the Fern Digital Knit chair, and it has exceeded my expectations in every way. The polished aluminum gives the chair a high-end look. The seat cushion strikes the perfect balance between firm support and comfort. The Digital Knit backing is soft and comfortable, ideal for extended use. I did not get the adjustable lumbar support, but the chair keeps my posture aligned during long workdays, and the built-in support is more than enough for me. The 4D arms and seat adjustments allow me to customize the fit, so I never feel fatigued and have eliminated my shoulder and hip pain.

Customer Service is excellent! Sue even called me directly after our online chat to assist with configuring the chair, which went above and beyond my expectations. It’s rare to find a brand that treats customers with such care, and it made the whole experience stress-free.

This chair combines ergonomic design with outstanding customer service. It’s not just a high-end purchase—it's an investment in my comfort and productivity. I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a high-quality office chair backed by a company that truly values its customers.

Absolutely met my expectations

This chair checked all of the boxes for me. 5’10” 185 lbs athletic build, this chair is absolutely a dream. Solid armrests. Adjustability. Comfort. I thought the highly adjustable arms would be too loose and that I’d unwillingly adjust them when simply adjusting readjusting my body position, nope, not at all. Highly recommend.

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a positive review for our Fern Mesh Office Chair. We are thrilled to hear that it met all of your expectations and that it is a dream for your 5'10' athletic build. We are happy that the armrests, adjustability, and comfort were all on point for you. We appreciate your recommendation and hope you continue to enjoy your chair. Thank you for choosing our Fern!
