HERMAN MILLER EMBODY REVIEW!! (Is this the BEST HOME OFFICE CHAIR?!)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 ноя 2020
- In this video you will see a Herman Miller Embody review. The video will help decide if the Herman Miller Embody is the best home office chair. I purchased this Herman Miller chair around 2 years ago so I have had enough time to give a good review. I have also owned a Herman Miller Aeron so I have compared Herman Miller Embody vs Herman Miller Aeron. This is the 3rd Herman Miller Embody that I have purchased. I will review the configuration of my Herman Miller Embody and talk about the things I like about it and how to make the Herman Miller Embody adjustments.

When working from home and sitting in front of the computer for extended periods of time it is very important to have a desk chair that is supportive and comfortable. I feel that the Herman Miller Embody chair is the best chair you can buy.
This Herman Miller chair is one of the most expensive Herman Miller desk chairs you can purchase. Prices of the Herman Miller Embody currently range from $1,100 USD to over $1,700 USD. The Herman Miller Embody is very expensive but I do think it is worth it if it falls in your budget.

What do you guys think about the Herman Miller Embody? Check out my Los Angeles apartment tour video to see my home office setup! ruclips.net/video/R6sI6RkbkDU/видео.html
I own one for about 5 years now. LOOOVE it. Arm rest padding tho ... my left started shrinking internally after few months and not it looks like its been vacuumed in and deformed.Still soft and feels great, just looks wierd. Place i bought it from will replace it but want me to bring the chair to their service center and thats a huge issue since chair is heavy. Huge improvement over my old one that i had since 1984 (already ergonomic and shaped after human body) that still works, but this is ... amazing chair. 5 out of 5.
Man everything is so bright and clean in this vid, it's like the chair's being reviewed by Jesus!
😂😂😂😂 happy you enjoyed it!
LMAO!! Now that I look at it, I see what you're saying.
Great video, and your pillow pattern matches the back of the Embody :P
Great video. Thank you for sharing. I have a question. You said you had this chair in every other color available. What was the reason for you replacing it? How long they usually last?
Hello!
I know it's an old video, but I recently learned that if you want to adjust your armrests away or towards you, you can slightly lift up on the armrest and reposition it! It makes it a lot easier, and you don't have to be brutal to the chair while doing so.
Tried it and this is amazing! Thank you for the tip 😀
Thanks for the video. Super informative!
Happy you found it helpful 😀
Explained everything very well, cool vid! I love the Embody. What your favorite fabric? Sync or Medley?
Happy you enjoyed it! I have tried a couple of different fabrics and didn't really notice much of a difference. I really don't think the increase in price is worth the "better" fabric unless if there is a color you really want
I got the Logitech G Embody brand new off of eBay for $1100 shipped to my door. I knew I had to get this chair when I saw it and I’m glad I purchased it because it is so comfortable and I like the Cyan color backing.
Amazing steal!
I have the Logitech Embody for about 4 weeks now and it’s most definitely the most comfort chair that I have ever sat in. I bought mine brand new shipped to my door for $1100. I have been sitting in it 12hrs/ day 7 days a week and everything is as good looking as it was when I first got the chair. To be honest, it took me 2 weeks for my body to adjust to this chair. Since I’ve been sitting in the chair I have not experienced any sort of pain in my body from sitting. My Steelecase series 1 chair would hurt my tailbone after sitting in it for 3hrs. This is by far the best purchase I have ever made. Worth every penny. My only gripe and looking back I would buy the black on black colorway of the Logitech embody.
Initially it is tough to get past the cost but once you do, it's tough to go back to anything else. One of my best purchases
Turns out you got a bargain. I just bought one for $1600 on sale from $1900 in their showroom.
Thank you for sharing. I like the colour combo. What is the fabric type and colour name for the dark grey?
This was the standard fabric. I think they changed the naming but this was considering "charcoal" I believe back when I purchased
Thank you for the helpful information, I bought a similar chair in Black Sync with white frame from my local AD. Just wanna ask, does the frame and plastics yellow? Saw a few really bad ones on reddit and some office liquidators. Thxx!
I have had no issue with yellowing of the frame. The frame is not stark white to begin as well
Hi Jamey! Late comment, but recently got a regular Embody after watching your reviews and wanted to ask if there was a transition period for you in terms of getting used to the chair? I upgraded from a Sayl! I ask because I notice my hamstrings feeling pressure when sitting on the Embody and not sure if its a seat height/depth issue or a “Im not used to sitting in the Embody” issue yet. Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
I do recall experiencing this a little bit. I would suggest playing around with the extender in different positions. I think that because the seat pan is likely much bigger than other chairs, it feels a bit different but I honestly have not found a chair I prefer over the Embody at this point
Is there anything you dislike about the chair, comfort or functionality wise?
Thanks for the review!
Other than the price 😂 but realistically I have not sat in a better chair. I would recommend this to anyone spending long periods of time in a chair.
What hair product are you using?
Thanks for the video. For anyone who are experienced in using the Embody - My back fit adjustment knob is stuck in one place and is not turning. Is there any fix that anybody can recommend? (It stopped working within 5 minutes of receiving the chair after a few adjustmetns)
This seems very strange. Did you purchase from an authorized dealer?
Just bought mine an hour ago. Out of curiousity, how long did your chairs take to deliver? cause right now herman miller's website estimated 3 weeks until they even start shipping mine.
When I bought my chair I purchased a model that was in stock. I’m sure the Herman Miller site operates similar to others where they estimate on the longer side but it’s pretty accurate
Hi, very nice review!
I have the balance fabric and the seat edge is rigid and overall even the seat after many hours is uncomfortable. The edge cuts my thighs. I tried to adjust the height and depth of the seat leaving three fingers between the edge and the back of the knee, but the situation doesn't change. Could you give me some advice? I thought I'd put a light padding under the fabric, a bit like the logitech model.
It's tough for me to give advice because I have not experienced that at all. I wonder If there are other adjustments that can be made in addition to the seat pan depth to help address the issue. I find the way the seat pan rolls at the end of the chair is super comfortable
how tall are you?
@@avonbarksdale2506 5' 9"
what fabic/color is that?
Hi! Do you think the embody chair will be a good investment for piano practice and guitar practice in terms of the armless version?
I think it could be helpful in that situation, but I do not play either so I don't know how you would normally be sitting in the chair. If your back is not normally against the seat I would think you may not be taking full advantage of the benefits of the chair
I bought the Logitech x Embody version on yesterday, and I have to say I am a bit nervous.
I am not a tall person by any means, and I’ve used DX Racers for years. I have the means to buy a chair like this, so I bit the bullet.
Do you believe it significantly feels worth the price?
Also how are the squeaks? I’ve heard the chairs can be very loud.
After trying a bunch of different chairs I do think the Embody is worth it. If it was just cool looking I would say no, but it is the prolonged comfort that makes it worth it
So how did you find the chair in the end?
Can you sit fully upright and in good posture in this chair? I've seen a review for the Logitech version that mentions it's been designed to not allow sitting fully upright. That would be a deal breaker for me.
I feel like I can sit fully upright. There are many different controls that can restrict certain movements and allow for a more upright position
@@JameyKocan I think Embody is not available in the UK but we have Logitech Embody version. Whats the difference between the regular Embody and Logitech version if you know?
Warranty is typically exclusively given to those who purchase the chair directly from a certified dealer or directly from Herman Miller, but it always worth reaching out to Herman Miller inquiring about their warranty if you buy it second hand.
Definitely a good point to at least inquire about the warranty when buying second hand. I think used is a good option when considering the high cost of the chair
Good review! Maybe I missed it but did you mention your height and weight? Most people I've seen review this chair are around 5'7"-5'10" and about 140-180lbs. Just curious how it does with larger frames. I'm about 6'2 and 215lbs so I don't want something that'll be too short for my back.
Yea I’m right in that range at 5’9” and 160lbs, however, I do know people as tall as 6’5” that use the Embody chair
@@JameyKocan ok thanks for the reply. I appreciate your time!
Happy to help 😀
Hello, are there any noises from the back part or something else? I read about squeaking noises that would be very loud and annoying when you recline the backrest.
There is a little bit of creaking or noise when maneuvering in the chair but I would not say that it is anything to deter you from purchasing. Literally the best chair I have ever experienced
Would you mind shareing which retailer you purchased from and how much discount you got
I purchased from officedesigns.com but I do not recall the discount I received. I would just call and speak with them directly to see if they have any current specials
Great video! recently found your channel, you seem like a lowkey millionaire bachelor lmao. love the quality and succinct videos
😂😂 thank you for the kind words!
I bought the Aeron and the issue I have is that I can't spread my legs wide while sitting, they end up sitting on the plastic and getting uncomfortable. Would the embody allow me to sit with my legs spread and be comfortable?
Definitely have a bunch more maneuverability in the embody thank the aeron. I felt stuck in the Aeron too which is why I returned it for the embody
@@JameyKocan Thanks for the reply!
I've heard one review mention the noise - when adjusting your back, does it squeak and creek a lot?
It can make a bit of noise but nothing that I would consider to be a dealbreaker or would even be noticeable
@@JameyKocan Thanks!
You got it!
random, but what brand of t-shirt are you wearing? It has a good fit to it.
Uniqlo U crew neck! Can't beat the value!
What fabric and color is your chair? Thanks!
This is their Rhythm fabric which is 100% polyester in the charcoal color
Debating between this and the Human Scale Freedom headrest... man it's just a ton of money for something I can't try out at all before hand and both are very different chairs.
I had compared the 2 at one point. I just didn’t like the mechanism of adjustment on the Human Scale vs the Embody. I think the Freedom can look cool when it’s in leather but then it gets crazy expensive.
@@JameyKocan I found a post on Reddit from a guy who's dealt the Human Scale chairs and said that there's an adjustment screw to change recline tension. I pulled the trigger on it so I should hopefully have it in about a month according to the local Human scale store. The guy in the store echoed the same sentiment about lack of adjust-ability but said by and large, most owners he's sold to have said that "it just works" as far as fitting them and feeling good. Fingers crossed that I fit into that category because they don't accept returns. I don't think any Humanscale dealer does.
I went with it mainly because I do more reclining for gaming and watching movies in the chair than actually sitting upright at a desk. It's at a desk but I have a TV to the side with my gaming PC/Consoles connected so most of the evening in my chair is with my feet up leaned back. Not having a headrest to keep my head pointed towards the TV eventually leads to neck pain.
I've got a pretty cheap high back office chair from office depot right now with zero adjustment, a blanket in the seat because the foam disintegrated immediately and a couple throw pillows behind me.
Even if it's not a perfect fit, the dealer said that he's replaced arm rests on 15~20 year old (according to serial numbers) Freedoms and other than the arm rest material giving out, the rest of the chair is practically bulletproof.
Why did you choose them Embody over the Aeron? Trying to decide right now, I'm 5'7 and weigh 145 lbs and want typically just want the one, that helps my back the most.
I'm also more likely to lean forward and rest my feet on something like my subwoofer etc. and heard that the Logitech embody may help with that position. Is that true?
Im doing the same thing right now xD
At one point I had purchased the Aeron. I think between buying my 1st and 2nd Embody I tried an Aeron because of the hype and lower cost. I didn’t find it comfortable and I didn’t like how you make adjustments. The seat pan lifts up as it extends toward your knees and has plastic trimming. It would dig into my thighs. It’s also a more compact chair whereas the Embody has a very large seat pan that allows for many different seating positions. This is something I really value as I am sitting in it for many hours every day. Hope this helps!
@@JameyKocan The main reason i prefer the embody right now is also the laeger seating area and the price is pretty much the same where i live when going for the gaming version of the embody
@@JameyKocan Thanks!
The white back looks soo good
Agree! Definitely have to white. I made the wrong choice once and purchased the black back
Anybody who works from home or spends extended periods of time in their office/desk chair needs to splurge on their chair. Your body will thank you!
Wise man 😀
Do I need hardfloor casters for hardfloor? The chair comes to me in 3-7 days with carpet casters or 15 weeks for hardfloor lol
I think with the carpet casters you should be fine on hard floor. You can always purchase separately if you want for $20 I believe
@@JameyKocan Thank you for the reply
Happy to help!
Really weird man.. I have been researching chairs and this comes up . How does this compare vs the Herman Miller Aeron? Also why did you buy and sell the chair 3x haha
Happy to help! I purchased the chair 3 different times because my work or living situation adjusted my home office need/setup. When comparing Embody vs Aeron, I did purchase an Aeron at one point but returned it for another Embody because I did not find it comfortable. The Aeron is much more narrow and does not have the same amount of adjustments as the Embody. The main issue I had with the Aeron is how the seat is shaped. As the seat extends toward your need it lifts upward so I found that it was digging into my thighs. The Aeron is definitely a nice chair, I just find the Embody much better, but more expensive too 😀
Do you have tips on configuring the back angle? I keep changing the thing and can’t really find the sweet spot. Sometimes I just feel the lumbar too much and it hurts my lower back
@@jeminceman4211 it is definitely person dependent but I typically am not a big lumbar person. I don't really like when chairs confirming to my lower back, it feels more like pressure. I have the lumbar at a looser setting and it is much better for me so maybe try that out!
You have had 3 of these, and they were released in 2008? I didn't listen too closely but why buy 3 chairs when the first would still be under warranty?
😂 good question! I had moved a bunch and it impacted my home office situation so in some instances I didn't have enough room for an actual office. So each time I was able to have a dedicated office I ended up buying the Embody again.
@@JameyKocan I see, so if I'm ever in the market for a good used Embody I should contact you and inquire if you'll moving soon. Haha ;)
Hey! Quick question is the white body really white or it has kinda of a hue to it?
No it is "white white" which makes it look so awesome 😀
@@JameyKocan Thanks! Awesome review, I’ll be getting mine in a few days. 😄
Nice! You are going to love it
If I may ask, how tall are you? You only get one size for the emoby :/
I am 5’ 9” but I know people as tall as 6’ 5” that also use the embody
@@JameyKocan Cheers, I'm 5' 10" so I think I should be good. Though I'll still try go down to a store to try sit in one
You will be fine I def think you should try in store before you buy if you can
Can u drop the link to that shirt ? Very nice shirt

Qucik question, what colour is the fabric?
I believe it was called charcoal
What fabric is on the chair?
This fabric is part of their Rhythm line
Translucent Casters are $60 each, 5 x $60 if u know what I mean.
Not in my experience. That would be outrageously expensive if that were the case

When’s your Rolex review
Hoping in the next couple of weeks 😀
I’ve sat in it. It’s heavenly
Correction, you sir are heavenly 😂
I'm glad to hear it because mine arrives in a few days :-) A year working from home in a chair with no support is killing my back.
Great timing for this review thanks! I just ordered the same configuration except for the color which I chose the Berry Blue Balance fabric. It's a beauty, can't wait to spend my working days on it!

Blue on white is a great look 🤩 you will love the chair!!
No headrest
I see no issue without the headrest 🤷🏻♂️
The chair promotes sitting in a way where you don't need a headrest
Atlas is working on a headrest for the Embody
I’m not gay but this man has some amazing hair! 😂
😂😂 much appreciated!
Hey man I’m not sure if you said it in the video, but is the embody good for sitting for multiple hours? I am a student and spend most of my time at my desk.
100% I’ve always worked remotely and routinely will be in the chair off and on for up to 12 hours a day
@@JameyKocan awesome! Thanks for the quick response, you earned a sub!
Happy to help 😀
A chair with a backrest that is too comfortable is nothing more than the pot for the plant that you will become! Of course, if you use it 8-10 hours a day, without going to the gym!
