Thats a pretty cool statement fair play! Great vid btw
am loking for my 1st ever ergonomic chair with lumbar support and full tilt head rest my budget is $00 and am a big guy and 6'0 tall any recommendations
Not sure if $0 can buy you a chair… ;) I made a video on best chairs of 2022. Check it out!
Is this chair for a heavy guy ? 390 lbs
7:08 Tall freak of Nature reporting in at 6 foot 5 inches. The Embody FITS ME PERFECTLY. Headrest ordered today, will update once it arrives. EDIT: GOT IT TODAY! To answer your question at this specific time stamp.. being 6,5 NO IT'S NOT GOOD IN THIS POSITION, IT HITS MY SHOULDER BLADES, BEST PLACE FOR IT FOR "TALL FREAKS" IS LIKE BEHIND NECK/HEAD WITH A 1 INCH GAP.
This completes the Embody
Yes. Yes yes yes.
Finally!! After 6 months of waiting, I finally received my headrest today. Thank you for the instructions. It was easier to install. Looks and feel well great!
It was a long wait for this headrest and it will well worth it. Installed my headrest a few days ago and I am in love. The headrest is so good, so comfy and well thought out. Bravo Atlas and thanks for the discount code Ahnestly ;)
woot woot!!
You've helped me out from the very beginning of my chair journey! From finding the Embody to be great for me, to waiting out the 3 months for this awesome headrest. My chair is finally ready - and it's all thanks to you! Thank you so much for your great vids!
When did you order ? Received yet ?
Got mine yesterday. Its really insane how well the colors matching and how soft it is. My Embody is perfect now. Awesome! Worth every penny and will hopefully last me the next ten years
Thanks for making this. I just paired it and its fantastic. Its been sitting in a box forever, and now the ultimate chair is truly the ultimate chair.
Ordered the Embody a few weeks ago. Cant wait to get it! This head rest is going to be the icing on the cake as well.
Ordered the Embody chair last Christmas after watching your reviews and I've loved it ever since. Definitely looking at getting the headrest after your thoughts here. Keep up the content, your production is awesome!
I got this video randomly recommend a couple weeks ago to me after owning the Embody for nearly 4 years. It's installed now! Truly the endgame of chairs!!! Thank you so much for the discount code as well!
Just received mine and its an absolute must for whoever has this chair, totally recommend it! and thanks for the assembling tips, made it way faster to do it!.
woot woot! Love it!!!
I'm loving the new headrest. I received my headrest later after the pre-orders for popular colors were sent out first, but I've got to say that I'm loving it. The dark carbon and graphite colorway on the headrest is *chef's kiss*!
Glad I'm not crazy and we're on the same page!!!
For a "small" channel, the production quality is crazy good. Nice vid as always!
Oh man, that means a lot! Thank you!!
I’m so glad to see something that you have been talking about for what seems like an eternity come to final form. It shows how much you care about this and I really hope this channel blows up because you deserve it from all your hard work and effort that you out in. I have the Fern and looking to buy the Anthros will you be doing a review on it?
Thank you!! Yeah it's crazy...each Embody headrest video was at a different studio too! Home --> small studio --> larger studio
Just received mine last week and I am so happy about it. So much nicer to lean back now! :)
Thank you my dude. Your videos are very informative and lead me to purchasing the Embody + Atlas Headrest (which finally arrived). The Embody alone relieved backpain I had for years and the Atlas headrest is absolutely perfect and versatile. Keep up the great work.
Thank you!! I really appreciate it!!
Glad to hear a pro take on this. I just got my notification of shipping so I'm exited to try it soon!
Super excited for you!!!
I just got this headrest today and goddamn does it make a huge difference. I never really used the recline feature much because I'd have to hold my head up using my neck muscles and I'd only be able to hold that position for a minute or two. Now I can recline with comfort and it is HEAVEN. Also, I was blown away at how closely the headrest's build matches the the build of the chair. It looks like it's a factory accessory sold by Herman Miller. Really an amazing product from Atlas, it really transforms the Embody into the perfect chair.
Just received and installed mine yesterday! Already working wonders
"Tall freaks of nature" LMAO. Love the vid, don't even have the Embody (rocking a modded Amia), but I love the production and content so much, that I watched the whole way through. I think a headrest is tough to implement, as it can make or break the chair. This one, however, seems very thought-out and comfortable! Great video as usual, Ahnestly!
Received mine today. Great upgrade for my Embody! Thanks for the install vid.
Just got my 3 last night. After installing I said this is how the chair should have came. I looks and feels amazing.
Thanks for the upload, just got my headrest today (Finally, lol) and this vid saved me from headaches with the tips, loving it, best improvement to the embody. I can finally tilt my head back when reclining it and not feeling like my necks about to snap, lol.
Can't wait to get mine! Ordered it last week so it will probably be a few months but glad you think its a solid product!~
I just received this after waiting 3.5 months. Ahnestly nailed it perfectly.. this is a really good headrest.
I cant wait to get mine! Its been such a long wait!
Love that you included an installation guide. Great video bro!
Thank you!! Appreciate it!
Exceptionally helpful review, thank you! I got my headrest installed in minutes using this video.
woot woot!! Glad it helped!!
Just ordered mine. Can't wait 😊
Nice review, still waiting for mine to ship. Can't wait
Ordered my Embody gaming today, just ordered the headrest now
Excellent series of videos and excellent review of the headrest
Thanks! Hope you used my links! Helps the channel a lot!! Let me know how you like it!!!
Great review! Very reassuring as preoders are always a bit of a worry.
Paid my deposit on 18th March. Paid in full on 1st April. Shipped on the 16th June and set to arrive in Australia on the 21st!
Cant wait to install it and tive it a spin!
got mine and love it. changed the whole chair.
I'm so excited for this thing. It's been on my radar since I got my embody, but I put in my pre-order as soon as you announced that it was open here. I'm a tall guy that really only uses my chair in leisure time and really the only complaint I have of the chair is the lack of a headrest. Obviously, we should temper our expectations, but this is really hyping me up for the coming weeks.
Yes the rigidity of having to tighten everything so it doesn't move back is a problem. Also I feel like I'm tightening it too hard but overall it's worked amazing the last 2 weeks and I'm happy.
Thanks Ahnestly. Mine is coming today. Let's go!
So far it is really good. Definitely an improvement to the embody. Not a tall freak by any means, around 5 11, I do run into the issue of having to crank it down so it doesnt move, but I have loosened it so I can move it manually. It moves when I dont want it to sometimes, but, its an easy fix when it isnt cranked down. Overall, it is a bit expensive for me, but it really is high quality and you wont find anything that seriously competes with it. Glad it's finally here.
woot woot!
I just got it and your video really helped. I really do love this headrest!
love that you love it!!!!
I’m gonna get this for my embody. Been waiting for the review
Thank you for these reviews super exited to get my head on this XD
I finally purchased the gaming embody (galaxy) thanks to your advice and I also ordered the atlas headrest.
Thank you for your great work and helping me with the purchase sir!
Glad to help! Hope you used my link though when you ordered - helps the channel a LOT!!
The Atlas headrest for the Embody really completes this chair. The level of quality and attention to detail the designers put into this headrest really blew me away. Make no mistake, Atlas nailed the look, feel, touch-points, and ergonomics while requiring no modifications to the original chair. The headrest does not look tacked on, it looks and feels like it is part of the chair.
Like you I have the black and cyan gaming Embody. The The lack of a place to hang the "HM x Logitech" tag is one of the only dings I have against the headrest so far. I do also wonder how well the horizontal tension adjustment will hold after months of daily use. It is something that I will keep a close eye on.
Everything else about the Atlas headrest for the Embody seems to be top notch, with the same attention to detail as the chair itself. All of the materials match the chair, including the soft rubber used on the forward/backward adjustment knob, which matches the seat adjustment knob on the Embody.
Herman Miller NEEDS to make a headrest a part of the actual chair. It is INSANE that the chair doesn't come with one from the factory. That being said, I love my Embody for focused work and gaming. The only place where it falls down is for relaxing, lounging and other passive activities such as watching videos.
Great analysis, I just got mine (all black gaming Embody) and I am extremely impressed with the adjustability, materials, look, and ergonomics.
Mines out for delivery, so excited!
I finally got a email yesterday with my shipping info. I can't wait to get it and test it out.
Just got mine a couple weeks ago and it's as legit as Dan says. It really makes this chair.
Mine just arrived, phenomenal quality.
Just gotten my atlas headrest today. Thanks to your video, I manage to install it on my embody.❤
How you like it?!?!?!
@@Ahnestly I found the sweet spot. and I'm liking it so far.
Great video. Thanks for doing this. I have an old Embody that I bought from Room & Board, god... probably back in 2016 or so (maybe earlier). It looks like the current model, but... do you know if this headrest is compatible with older ones? Looks fantastic.
If it's not, any ideas on some knockoff that would probably attach?
I wish I knew that installation tip when I did mine. That arm piece fell so many times lol.
I got the white frame and nightfall sync version of the headrest. So far, liking it a whole lot. I have it dialed in pretty tight, but I can still adjust it easily.
I purchased this headrest after seeing your reviews, and I'm very satisfied. Your reviews were spot on. I too was able to sleep in my Embody chair after getting this headrest.
I'm 6'2", and probably as tall as you could be comfortable in the chair. Though the headrest adjusts taller the back of the chair is just an inch or two below the tops of my shoulder, and I think I'd want a taller-backed chair were I any taller myself.
Woot woot! Here’s something to try - lower the headrest as low as it’ll go and see how that feels on your back! The cushion is so soft that it can actually provide additional upper back support!
mine came already, and hes right it lives up to the hype, i pre ordered dec 29
Love mine too. Its freaking awesome Addon for the Embody.
Got my rhythm blue on white frame headrest; doesn't 100% match the balance blue fabric but close enough :) Thanks for the tip on installation. So far enjoying the headrest a lot, it is close if not mimics the original quality of the Embody and it is very easy to adjust!
Hey, I was thinking about getting this chair and headrest combo but it looks like the chair is a little narrow on the back. Is this something you ever notice at all when leaning back? Does it feel like your shoulders overhang? I've had a steelcase leap v2 for a couple years and I really like it but want a headrest for my chair.
just bought the gaming embody cyan blue for "just" 1372€. Happy with that, since it had always been at 1715€ :) Thank you for all your videos!
7:05 I’m 6 ft 2 and having trouble with the lack of upper back support that I’ve bought an Aeron to see if I will switch. (Just got the Embody)
DOES the headrest help with the upper back problem for tall people? I REALLY LOVE this chair but the shoulder blades being above the top is SO annoying!
@Ahnestly what have you heard?
I got my Embody on Friday. My Atlas headrest will be here in the next few weeks. Looking forward to the upgrade.
noice!!
I bought the Headrest in Feb and it arrived Today. Now the Chair went from End Game to End Boss defeated und Princes rescued. What a GREAT Headrest
Nice. If you don’t mind me asking which color did you get? I ordered mine in February also but still haven’t got a shipment notification. I order the same gaming embody in the video
@@Digital860 Sure, i got the Black Rhythm Graphite Frame
I was waiting for this review to buy it, because i trust you more than anything, even though i was pretty sure it would have been a masterpiece anyway... Now i just have to wait for your code to drop, and then i'm totally sold.
You're the best, as always.
Thank you for the kind words!!!
@@Ahnestly all deserved, as always🙏🏼
Any ideas on if Atlas Headrest is in the process of making a headrest for Sayl? Or if it's even possible given the way a Sayl is constructed.
thx for your reviews
I preordered the same one and still haven't received my head rest yet. I'm happy that others have received there's. Makes me can't wait for mine even more lol
Great attitude!
after installing mine, I had the same thought about the allen wrench! I'm 6'4" and found a tension that holds me up but is still adjustable.
Oooo great feedback! No issues with adjusting it/it moving when you use it???
@@Ahnestly not really. I've had to tighten it slightly once so far, but other than that, it's great!
Now if only they could actually complete the orders from 7 months back
Did you get it yet ?
Ahahah that’s why I didn’t prebuy it, it was obvious
@@faroukb.616so basically ure gonna wait even longer than us so what's so funny 😅
Already got mine!
Good luck buddy, I ordered mine not long after the pre-orders went live and I just got it today!
I received mine and sorta don't like how the swivel up and down cannot be adjusted. I guess it's supposed to be like that though.
I got mine as well. It looks fantastic and is comfortable. What I don't like is that my Unit has some ugly production marks around the screw holes which you can even see when everything is attached... still waiting for an response from Atlas.
Love this headrest, it complete Embody.
Going to get it when it is not back ordered. Good review.
is it the final "cyan" gaming chair color ? It doesn't seem to be the same color...
Finally got my headrest today after ordering it at the end of aug 2023. 10/10 purchase. It definitely was the missing piece for an already amazing chair.
niceeeee!!!!
Hey Ahnestly ! Any plan to test the Hinomi H1 Pro ? This chair looks really really cool !
Just got mine after a verrrrrryyyyy long wait. But holy shit is it a game changer. Literally.
YESSSSS
After digging what best chair is I've ordered a HM Embody Gaming (Graphite/White) and matching Atlas headrest. 20% off until Monday and his $5 off worked! Yes expensive, but I'm at home office 8am-10pm with work & gaming. This will be the final piece to new home office from Secretlab (Magnus Pro XL).
Was thinking Haworth Fern originally or the Titan also from Secretlab, but HM the best. Thanks for thorough reviews making it easier and get the matching headrest.
Can't wait for the chair and headrest to arrive!
Ordered the Embody Gaming yesterday and will add the headrest once I'm sure it's a keeper. Excellent presentation that made me want it even more. :)
Got the Atlas delivered today, super happy with it.
Woot woot!!!
I'm 6'3 and have one on order. I'll report back on comfort when it arrives! Upper back support sounds nice.
Awesome. Can’t wait to hear your feedback!!!
I am the same height as you Thomas and I would appreciate your feedback a lot !
@@GbproofaccountTheMaster dude it's awesome; I was skeptical, truthfully, but when it arrived and I installed it sat and adjusted it, and tightened everything down, it was perfect! Completed the chair; I highly recommend it.
YESSSS!!!
Hello, Great review! What is that other chair you have to the left in this video? My college had chairs like those and I loved them.
You went to a baller college! Here you are!

does this boyds the waranty on the chair?
just ordered the headrest using your code. I m 5'2 wanna have a headrest when I lean back. Hope it fits me
Are you going to look into the atlas headrest on the Fern?
I’ve had mine ordered since Christmas, same colour as yours. Annoyed it hasn’t been processed yet, I must’ve been one of the first customers.

Thanks!
Great review! As there will be no 'Balance' fabric version of this headrest, which fabric would you recommend to go with my current white frame / black balance fabric chair? It's hard to tell the difference between the Rhythm, Sync and Medley fabrics on screen. Rhythm looks the blackest and possibly a similar synthetic texture to the balance. Sync looks a bit more woolly and the Medly smoother.
Hey! I ahnestly (ha!) don't know...I showed what the sync looks like against the balance fabric in the video! So maybe you can either choose or rule out that based on what you see!
i have absolutely cranked tension knob (even with the wrench) and it still moves back when i put my head back on it, kind of disappointing. happy with everything else about it
Any chance you'll do a review / comparison with the OfficeLogix headrest?
Can't say I miss a headrest on my embody, but it does look nice quality.
I've been keeping up with the progress of this since close to when it was first announced. Do I own an Embody? No. Will I own an Embody in the near future? Probably not. But one day, I will snag an Embody; one day after that, I will snag an Atlas headrest for the Embody. For now my modern art-ys looking chair with piss poor ergonomics and a notorious reputation for leaving geometric imprints on my bone-y bottom will suffice XD. Glad to see this finally coming to fruition and props to Atlas for activating the code AFTER fulfilling the current backlog. Would have been easy, and definitely tempting, to keep racking in more capital with preorders or back-logged orders. Them wanting to clear their back-log first shows good character; very respectable!
!! Great input!!
What is the other chair ? 9 to 5 seating ??
I wonder what's next for Atlas.
Do you test leather chairs?
I've been waiting...and waiting. I was a preorder from like...6 months ago. So who knows when they'll finish
my plan is to 3d print something to try to get that tag to adapt to the headrest arm. Not sure what that looks like until mine arrives but thats the plan for now.
Looking forward to it!
just got mine today and it makes a world of difference in the embody chair. ill be honest, i kinda regretted buying the embody at first since i wanted lumbar support and a headrest. now this solved the head part and still lacked the lumbar
this is what I'm sayin man!!!
2:09 Got this Headrest 2 days ago, THE DESIGN MAY HAVE CHANGED? IT'S NOW WAY EASIER TO INSTALL. The base can now be "split in 2" so you can screw in one side then take the other piece screw it into back of chair on other side, then screw it into the Headrest Frame. SUPER EASY!
got mind yday its great, i only ordered it a few months ago too
I'm so excited to get this. I'm not sure when that will be since I'm reading a lot of people who have already purchased it but still haven't received it 😅
Follow their IG/FB page for updates
I like the color of back Embody chair, the officially website only offer translucent not blue color. please tell me where I can select this back. Thanks
This is the gaming embody. I have the link in the description! Please consider using it as it helps the channel a lot!!!
I wish they would update us on where they are in the pre order queue. I want to know how far away mine is from being shipped.
They do on FB if you follow their page
I received mine back in March / April, but it did not fit the chair, I took a Dremel to it, had to cut about 1.5-2mm from the part that attaches to the chair so that it would fit around the neck of the chair and actually fit. I have plenty of pictures of the improper fit and the Dremel process to fix it if anyone needs help.
Just finished watching your review on both the Embody with as headrest and the Fern with a headrest. After watching your reviews, I am leaning towards the Embody. As someone on the taller side (6ft4 or 193CM), it seems like a better fit for me. Plus the warranty on the embody seems to be a lot longer than the Fern here in Europe. Waiting until black friday until I make my final decision, but it is looking like it will be the Embody. Thank you for your insight and reviews!
I've had the fern in the past month and the seat is small for guys our height (I'm 6'2). Too bad because I thought the fern was a really solid chair, I ended up returning it and bought the embody. The chair is a lot smaller than I thought it would be though, the seat is way bigger than the fern which was the ultimate downfall on the fern for me
@@mathieubellavance2506how do you like the seat and is the maximum seating height enough for people like us I am 193cm so about 6.4“ I think. I am looking to buy the HM embody with the ongoing sale ! And I wonder how much the headrest will cost to ship and import to Germany. Because the German „Zoll“ will definitely raise the import tax on that thing.
@@GbproofaccountTheMaster I wish I could give you more input but I received the chair and went in for a major surgery literally the day after. From my short time on the seat I definitely do want the headrest, which I ordered. And also found the seat to be pretty hard on the bum after sitting in it for not very long, I'm hoping it will break in some...
@@mathieubellavance2506 oh I see thank you very much for your reply! Wish you a speedy recovery my friend !
I just ordered the Embody a couple weeks ago. Waiting for it to ship. I want to see how it feels before I decide on getting a headrest.
Makes sense!
