Oh yea, I forgot to mention that sitting in the expensive chair didn't improve my gaming skillz at all either... Subscribe! :)

I’m at the point in quarantine where I’ve entered the chair review portion of YouTube.

what you absolutely have to say about it, you have to give the chair some time. the chair forces you into a healthy sitting position and you don't slouch in it. i noticed that i had some back muscle pain after sitting for 8 hours, but that was only because i didn't sit healthy earlier. after about two weeks it gets better and you can sit pain free for 10-12 hours. so absolutely good the chair

I own this, best chair I have owned hands down. Doesn't even come close to a "gaming chair" you spend 200-500 on. This is in another league. 1500 price tag is big deal. I spend 80% of my time in a chair like this now that i work from home, so it was time I spent the money where it counted. My back pain is 100% gone. I get some neck pain but thats a monitor location issue im working on. If i didn't sit in it 80% of the day, i would have gone with a cheaper model i think, but so far well worth the money.

The Herman Miller Embody chair is a life saver if you have neck, back, and/or tailbone pain. Buy the original if squeaking bothers you. I think it's the padding Logitech added. My original, non-Logitech version doesn't have this padding (just fabric and the stretchy plastic mesh), and it makes no noise. You'd think, "how could no padding/plastic _possibly_ be comfortable?" ...but lemme tell ya, it's fantastic! I'm super picky, and before this chair, everything hurt after sitting in front of a computer 8+ hours a day. Since I've had the Embody, no pain.

One thing Mike points out--and this is so true--you shouldn't try to sit perfectly perpendicular. If you want that, you should avoid this chair. It's meant to lean back in, at least a little. I keep the recline depth at 3 (out of the 4 stops it allows). Also, you _really_ need to push your butt/lower back ALL THE WAY BACK so it's touching the back of the seat so it can support you. If I don't, I get crazy burning in my lower back after 30-45 minutes, but that's mostly MY back and poor posture, not the chair's fault.

If you do all that, and you're a lean back/sloucher like me, dear God this chair is comfortable. I've been in IT for 20+ years and have tried every fancy, schmancy office chair you can imagine. The Aeron? Pfft! I know some people love it, but I can't stand it. The Aeron seat has a bar just behind the knees, and it HURTS after 1-2 hours, something you might not notice after only sitting for a few minutes in the store. The Embody? It's like sitting on a cloud all day.

I was fortunate to get to use this chair extensively at the office for a while and I ended up buying one at home. For my physiology and how i like to sit, it is truly a match made in heaven. I fell in love on first contact and it seems
that im always comfortable on it regardless of the adjustment... I have never, ever, sat on a chair that came even remotely close to the level or comfort that the embody gives me. Chairs are very personal but for me it was a no brainer even given the higher price... For reference I am 6’3 / 250lbs...

[CArod]

Bout to blow my whole stimmy check on this chair.

[williamoliver]

I’d love to see a comparison of Embody with the Aeron.

[iHustleLXXXI]

I am able to sit up straight without me having to slouch and the noise isn’t apparent unless I lean back really far when I have the chair locked at any settings. I have not found any cons with this chair except for the price.

[Romoredux]

6:56 I don't care WHO YOU ARE IF THIS CHAIR FITS YOU AND IS COMFORTABLE, BUY IT. As I age I'm realizing the things that really matter in life are 1) your Bed and 2) your "Work Area", we literally spend 2/3rds of our LIFE SITTING OR SLEEPING! DON'T BE AFRAID TO SPEND "ALOT" CONSIDERING 2/3RDS OF YOUR LIFE IS SPENT LAYING DOWN OR SITTING!

Well, I have had the 2008 version since it was first released. I am a 68 year old weightlifter/lawyer. This chair is the best thing I have ever used to help my back. I don’t know why, but regardless of how much my back is bothering me (I have had two back surgeries), this chair is my oasis. I spend a lot of time in this chair and would fight anyone who tried to take it away. My two cents.

[kieranchamberlain]

You addressed so thing - the posture issue that I have never seen some top review sites, like btod etc. So amazing in depth thank you. Subscribed!

[pkennethv]

Thank you for making this video!

I’ve watched about as many videos as I could find about the Embody but very few people seem to comment on sitting up really straight like you do - which is also how I like to sit. This video definitely makes me feel better about ruling out this chair because of it.

[Dank_Engine]

I bought it anyway, and I like it. Thanks for the unique perspective though.
My experience so far. The lumbar is fine for average height. Mine doesn't squeak at all. I can't remember your third dealbreaker.

[Jakesmith-bqup]

If you learm how to use your chair you can sit up straight and have support. Make sure you have the back lock on, then there is a handle the other side that you turn anti clockwise and that will mould the chair back into you back. The amount of people that cant use a chair is outstanding. Read the instructions, especially if you are doing a review.

[Galvaxatron]

Thank you for mentioning the noise.
You're the only reviewer who has mentioned the sound it makes.

[kurtyaz]

The Aeron's down fall is you can't spread your legs, the Embody's failure is it's inability to scoot the arms back (so you can't scoot into your desk tight) and less, the shoulder does dip inwards and could potentially cause shoulder pain (it's nice if you lean back, but not for upright).

[christianvolkner]

I bought my Embody 1 week ago and I hear nothing, no squeaking. The model was updated a while ago

Also the seat is very very comfortable, it’s not soft, nor is it hard, I really love it .

The backrest is something I still need to get used to. I vary the position every day and I have the feeling my back is slowing adjusting to it.
I can work upright and it’s nice, but there’s the gap you mentioned on middle part of the back. But still it works fine, but after a while I use another setting :-)

I‘ve gone through all chairs before buying this one. The Aeron is a no because it doesn’t allow freedom of movement. The leap and gesture are more like foam chairs that might be comfortable, but I like that woven plastic concept, it just feels right. Also Steelcase doesn’t offer 12 years of warranty.
But maybe I just buy the other chairs as well, so I have one for gaming, one for working and one for the balcony😂

Love the video! You hit a lot of great points :). For my two cents, I had the Aeron classic and remastered, the Leap V2, the Ergo Chair 2, a secret lab chair, and presently I am using the Logitech Embody. Long story short, the price is WAAAAY up there, if you really want it, you MIGHT get lucky with a sale in the future where it was brought down to $1, 100 (Still a yikes!). I kept this chair because all the other chairs ended up hurting my back - I would get aches throughout the day (I sit 9hours for work and then game and watch videos for another 6 hours everyday). I ended up keeping this chair because my back pains are no more with it! The aeron remastered was great for those who are deciding between the two - but absolutely take advantage of the 30 day return period - the aeron began hurting my back week 2 and by week 3, I just had a ton of aches no matter how I adjusted it. You can also ask for a lower gas cylinder for the aeron if you need that - it lowers the chair 1.75in in case you need a lower chair!

That's the thing about mesh fabric - and that's why I ALWAYS prefer it in any product as possible (chair, shoes, etc) - It's easier to maintain, it doesn't wear off easily, it's very convenient, and if well-taken care of, it's technically immortal. Unlike the fake "premium" leatherette that you always see in any other gaming chair.
