I bought an Embody recently, and regret it, after sitting all day, I get a sore butt and the back feels weird, it makes my shoulders feel like they are being pushed forward and it doesn't have enough lumbar support for me. My wife has an Aeron V2 so I've tried both. The Aeron is much better, for me anyway. About the creaking, mine does not have this issue, the store one did, but the one I had delivered makes almost no noise at all when flexing the back, but the overall build quality of the Aeron is much better, the Embody has a lot of play in the back and arms that the Aeron does not have. You have to lean back in the Embody, it's not good for work, which I do a lot of, I WFH full time and also game at the same desk. The Embody is NOT good for work, it just feels weird in the upright position, you really need to lean back a bit otherwise it hurts my back, and the recline is far smoother and better feeling on the Aeron. I'd return the Embody and swap it for an Aeron if I could but unfortunately Australia has no such returns policy that people in the US enjoy.
Just ordered a gaming embody, although upon further researching I feel like I might end up wanting an Aeron 😅 I’m in Canada, so hopefully it won’t be too much of a hassle if I don’t like the embody as much
Great video as always Thomas. I am considering buying one of these chairs. I am lucky because a friend of mine has both of them and I will try them. Χαιρετισμούς από την Ελλάδα.
Τελικά ρε παιδιά ποια είναι καλύτερη? Είμαι σε τρελό διχασμό.. Και επίσης το ερώτημα παραμένει το ίδιο, Embody gaming και Aeron gaming είναι μαρκετιστικα η όντος έχουν διαφορά με τα κανονικά? Ας με κάνει κάποιος ενα update έχω κάνει το research της ζωής μου και είμαι σε αδιέξοδο, ευχαριστώ πολύ!!
I loved the Aeron, it was my endgame until I found out 3-4 weeks after I purchased it that it killed my thighs (I'm 210 lbs, owned a size B but a size C was too big for me). Tried an Embody for 9 months and I just couldn't sit comfortably in it, had to sell both. I'm now on a Steelcase Gesture and while I still miss my Aeron I think that this is much better for my body. It's not perfect by any means, but it's much more tolerable than the Embody. This was a great video! Appreciate the effort and quality of the editing and comparisons, I would've loved a video like this when I was first checking them out.
I've heard nothing but good things about both the Gesture and the Leap! I'm glad you found the chair that works best for you. And thank you for the kind words - I appreciate you taking time to watch the video! Cheers 🍻
My 2005 graphite Aeron Classic is as good today as it was on July 11th, 2005 when I bought it. Hands down… the BEST office/gaming chair on the market.

Unique and specific search engine terms got me to you. I'm happy it did, great content, and easy to watch thank you!! 🔥
Hey Devin, welcome to the channel - glad you stumbled upon it! Thank you for the support, and I’m glad you enjoyed the video! 🍻
thanks for the video ! very useful
Congrats on the 5K, brother! 👏
Thanks for the continued support, dude!🍻
Herman Miller! Great video, nice pace and good content. Keep up the good work.
The copper foam in the gaming model is just for marketing.

Aeron is totally worth it for the mesh. It wears extremely well and doesn’t disintegrate like foam/fabric.
Good review mate, very simple and vell explained
Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on these :)
you can get headrest for Aeron, its around $200
Really cool channel btw
Great video again❤ keep going!
Thank you for the continued support, I really appreciate it!

Greetings. 6'2' 260 size C. Is Aeron Compatible. Thanks.
Aeron all day, no butt sweat and much better arms, embodys are way too far forward.
Thanks.
Worth mentioning that the Embody does NOT have lumbar support. This is a huge con in terms of productivity.
I mean it does in its own way. The back is designed to conform to your back and you can adjust the tension on it depending on your needs.

Mirra over both, haven’t found a Herman Miller chair with better lumbar support than a Mirra.
The Mirra is a great chair as well. I was fortunate to be able to use one years ago in the office, solid chair!
I thought i was watching a million subcriber youtuber, what a great video!
Thank you for the kind words Marvin, and thanks for watching man, I appreciate it! Cheers🍻
