- I'm pretty sure I bought the most expensive gaming chair that you can buy...but whether I did or not...it was expensive! Costing a whopping $2,000 USD with tax and shipping.
Was it worth it?

absolutely agree with the sweet spot, and also the time it takes to find it. the first days i thought it was a waste, but now, i dont feel the chair, like i did before with other chairs. and i dont get tired in it. 10 hours sitting is absolutely no problem.
Great editing and review! Super interested in getting this chair, but as you mentioned, it's a lot to dive head first into. Loved the video though! Very appreciative that you didn't parrot what 10 other videos said as well lol.
Thanks for the review, I found it entertaining!
I just bought this chair and this is the greatest chair is awesome. Really helps my back.
Good overall pverview brother.
Thanks for govong practicaal advice and insights of your experience with this chair
I just ordered one myself
Cheers
great info, hope to see a long term update
Great review of the chair this, thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
I love mine, even ordered the head rest.
I have the regular office Embody. Best chair I’ve ever owned. I’m getting the Atlas headrest.
Was just thinking of pre ordering the headrest
I also have a "regular" office Embody and I received my headrest last week.
The initial install is a bit of a pain and the directions they provide I found rather vague, but it is a great addition once it is installed. The lack of a headrest was the only issue I had with the chair and Atlas's headrest is the perfect addition; quite comfortable and like the chair itself, allows for all kinds of minor adjustments in a large range so you can fit it perfectly to your needs.
Also just buy the used chair. I got my Embody for $650, which means I'll basically always be able to sell it for what I bought it for!
I just bought one of these for my home office and am loving it - ready to throw that box out now. I also have one at work that I just inhereted from a buddy who retired last month, and his is about 8-11 or so years old, and now that I’ve got my own brand new chair to compare it with, I can say confidently that these chairs really do last forever. The one at work that’s that old is a bit more floppy (mostly the arms, but maybe a little bit in the back) in that there’s some slop in the arms and they can wiggle a bit more than my new one does, but they do still adjust properly and they do stay where you adjust them, it’s just that they can wiggle a bit more where they’re adjusted than with my new one.
But other than that, the old one at work is nearly _identical_ in terms of comfort to my new one at home - I’m not even sure I could tell the difference other than the “slop” fact in the arms and maybe a little bit more movement noise. It’s basically the same as the brand new one. Even the seat fabric is still holdingi up. You can see a bit of wear pattern in it from where my friend had been sitting in it for 8-12 hours a day 5-6 days a week for the last decade, but it still hasn’t worn through the fabric anywhere yet. The biggest place where you can see the wear is in the armrest pads - there are a couple of little divots and nicks in those where they’re missing a little padding material, but even those are small and don’t affect the comfort of the armrests at all.
Pretty impressive! And it’s still under full factory warranty if anything should happen to break in the next 1-3 years (not sure what year it was actually made/sold but the 12 year warranty covers absolutely everything). Amazing chairs.
Hey Derek! Irrelevant question but I just watched ur multistreaming video and saw the “panel animation” pop up which shows ur twltch url. do u have a tutorial or something about how to make something similar?
Thanks for the review big breh. I ordered my chair last night and came back with a 2 month est shipping date lol
You the US? Got mine 4 months ago in about 4-5 days.
@@rickyism1576 Yes. Est shipping date was mid November. Now its est to ship later this month :)
I need those for my living room
I have this perfect feeling with the Jori Square, unfortunately it’s not height adjustable so not usable as office chair.
I heard you mention your foot. I have a severely collapsed arch in my left foot. I was prescribed really expensive inserts as well. I didn't find relief with them I tried shoes from Vionic and they worked really well. I still can't find a chair though!
To the last point in the video, it depends. I think everyone does need a chair that isn't going to cause posture problems, and how far (expensive) you are needing to take that depends on how long you sit in it. I think anyone doing a desk job 8+ hours a day can benefit from a high end chair. This high end? Maybe not, but as you mentioned the quality and longevity can't be undersold. There are a few things that I think one shouldn't skimp on, and ergonomics is one of them.
Your back spine will thank you to years to come.
What about your front spine?
Question for ya brother. I know you mentioned the back adjustment knob. Does this chair also have an adjustment for how much tension on the “rocking” feature? Like how easy it is or stiff it is to lean back?
It does
What kind of noise does the chair make when you move around in it? Does it bother you a lot?
I have this chair and it depends on how loose you make the chair. When I make my setting tight (usually in a locked position and stiff) for work, it squeaks quite often. If you loosen the chair then the squeaking sound isn't as noticeable.
I remember seeing this chair like two years ago and thinking it was too expensive. After having to sit at my desk all day with a crappy chair for two years I decided to finally invest. My knees and back were hurting from sitting all day and I'm hoping that this chair can help.
Hope it fixed your problems like it did mine. Don’t forget specialized exercise and stretches/yoga, body is absolutely NOT made to sit all day and no matter what your body will suffer if it is not taken care of properly
@MrRofi-jp7mo Took me roughly a week to get the chair configured right for me, but yes, it has immensely helped my knee pain. It's either gone altogether or takes much longer to start acting up.
im considering buying one too, does it make noise though?
@emredaglar939 I've heard people complain about noise, but personally I haven't had this issue.
@@emredaglar939 It makes a little more noise than the average chair, but it's only really noticeable if you're listening for it. It's pretty rare that it catches my attention, and when it does it's only for a moment because it only really makes a noise when I'm stretching or reaching for something near the edge of my desk. It's a very minor side effect of the way the fabric and plastic are layered, combined with how flexible the back is.
Normal use, just sitting at my desk working/gaming it's silent, so as long as you're not just constantly squirming in your chair while sitting at your desk(which you likely won't be with how supportive this thing is) you won't notice the noise much.
I got a Steelcase Amia 2 months ago and it's still uncomfortable :( Makes my butt and back hurt
I also have the Steelcase Arnia too. It’s my art room chair. I like it. But I also have the Embody. That one is miles better.
£14 billion and you don't get a headrest go and jump. Here's an idea let's find out what the unit cost is including development and employees and shipping and everything what's their unit cost I wonder I bet their profit margins massive
I've personally never used a headrest in all my life so was a nonissue for me. And I'm sure their profit margins are high, but they do also spend a lot on R&D from my understanding!
@@OMGItsDerek Thanks Derek for your answer. I imagine the R&D is high. still two iterations of the Aeron in 20 years can't have cost that much! I have a sneaking suspicion that offices don't want people to be comfortable :) Thanks for the review.
I can't believe he didn't mention that the office chair has adjustable arm rests 👀
I didn't lol? Well, it does and I love the range of them, down, up, out, in, they are fantastic!
@@OMGItsDerek You also didn't mention that it has wheels AND has the ability to allow you to sit too! all jokes aside, great vid, mines on the way, can't wait
Let me know what you think of it, still love mine and it has held up great so far but always interested in hearing other's opinions too to help provide feedback to others.
@@OMGItsDerek I preemptively bought the Atlas headrest for it, which has already arrived -- the quality of that alone is amazing. So looking forward to the chair, I'll update when the chair arrives 🤙🏽
is it -ucking comfortable or not?
Yes very.
Chiropractors hate this chair....
which chair do they prefer then?
Every time I sit in mine, my back pain increases 200 percent. Worst chair ever. Now I have to keep looking and suck up the cost.
Damn
That’s because your posture shite bud and your body’s use to it! The Embody has been proven one of the best chairs ever made in terms of back support…
“Worst chair ever” because it’s forcing you to actually sit properly, massive brain you got there..
I’ve had mine a year and it plays me up with my lower back, I’m now wondering if it’s adding to my SI joint pain I get. Also the seat isn’t that comfy and my butt is sore after a while and that’s with some added foam I’ve put in. I’m now looking at the aeron
If you have 2k to throw away: avoid HM. They are overpriced and way less ergonomic and comfortable than a specialised chair at the same price
I don't know, I still enjoy the chair to be honest. Have you some other ones as well and like are they all kind of close sure probably is it hard to say if this one's actually worth the price tag compares the other ones that might be close but are a lot less hard to tell... But I don't regret buying the chair I can say that after owning it now for over a year
Name some then. How can we know what the alternative is if you don't even list one lol
@@OMGItsDerek thanks for the update!
dude trust me, you'd have 50k views on your videos if you edit your videos to 1.25x speed.
best shit ever.
anyway i like it with normal speed too.
but thinking about review videos, sometimes i kinda feel i wanna rush through them if you know what i mean.
thats just me. i'm autistic.
