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.

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.

“Do yourself a favor and treat yourself to this unbeatable office chair.”

Custom comfort, every time you sit.

Lumbar

Fern’s built-in lumbar support cradles your lower back for all-day comfort. Need more? Add the optional adjustment for personalized support within a 3.5" range.

Seat Height

Easily adjust the seat to match your height. For optimal support, your knees should form a 90° angle with your feet flat on the floor.

Tilt Tension

Control how much resistance you feel when reclining, and adjust for the level of support that feels just right.

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.

Fern in the wild: real spaces, real comfort.

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.”

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.

Fern Office Chair with Bronze Base

Overall, this is a very good chair and a solid purchase. It’s extremely comfortable, and most of the components feel well-built and high quality. The only real downside out of the box was the casters, which felt fairly low-end. That said, swapping in the casters from my previous chair was quick and easy, so it wasn’t a major issue.

I did have a problem with the first chair that arrived—one armrest remained loose even after tightening. It appears the armrest bracket is cast aluminum, and there may have been a casting defect. I contacted customer service, and they responded immediately, asked a few questions, and shipped a complete replacement chair without any hassle.

When the replacement arrived, the original box had already been discarded, so I reached back out to customer service. They promptly sent me a return box at no charge. The return process itself was simple: print the label, schedule a pickup, and that was it.

The chair is made to order, and the quoted lead time was three weeks. It was delivered in three weeks and two days, which is very prompt and essentially right on schedule.

Customer support was excellent throughout, and the overall experience was very positive. The chair also looks great—the bronze finish on the aluminum components is especially nice. I would definitely recommend this chair.
