Sayl Gaming Chair from Herman Miller - ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL!

- Опубликовано: 9 сен 2024
- I've always said that when picking a chair for your gaming / streaming setup, a good quality, well supporting chair should be your priority. That's why when I heard Herman Miller said they were getting into gaming chairs, I was massively hyped. Herman Miller sent over the Sayl Gaming Chair for me to take a look at. It's got everything I want from a office chair but also style!
Here's a link to the chair (Black Friday Going on) :

This chair was sent from Herman Miller.

I've had mine a few days and I'm really pleased. I kept the cost down by opting for the all black and getting the height adjustable arms (not the 4d) and leaving off the additional lumbar support on advice from the sales person, but got everything else. The chair was originally designed without additional support and it works just fine. The back is surprisingly comfortable and the seat is firm but comfy. Would definitely recommend!
How do you feel about it, now that you commented 4 months ago? Considering this chair. Steelcase Leap V2 is causing me serious upper back pain.
Oh, and it has a 12 year warranty. Only chair you'll need for a decade.
@@Okanekaseku It's not for everyone, nor a justification. It speaks to the quality of the product. Excessive is relative. To each their own.
@@Okanekaseku most chair manufacturers give you a 3 year warranty, loads of people have herman millers from 20 years ago. might pay for 3 or 4 cheaper chairs in that time and have arguably worse chairs
Finally a gaming chair that is not a racing seat!
*checks price*
Ok looks like I'll be getting a race car chair now..
If you want a racing chair. Then you might as well buy a small sofa which would be better
It’s not even a gaming chair, Herman Miller Sayl is an office chair. I’ve been eyeing on this for years now, but man it’s hella expensive 😆
Literally any office chair around the price of a racing chair is better, gaming chairs are straight up scamming u.
I just saw it for 399.99. It says half off but im not sure if that's really a deal but I got my tempurpedic chair on sale for 279.99 instead of 350. Its so lovely, and cushiony.TP4000. It is actually 365 now so it's almost the same price, so cozy though.
and this is cheap compared to the logitech chair.
Just ordered the black version, used to have an Aeron at my old job, but id say the Sayl meets the max price id pay for a chair. Great review man, much appreciated!
Update?
i ordered this chair a week ago for $725. i canceled my order because now there is a spring sale and it cost $616. im so happy that i canceled it in time haha
I have a Sayl and its a really great chair I plan to have for a long long time. I suggest going with the non-gaming version. First of all you dont have to pay for the "gaming" markup and the regular version comes with more customization options for ergonomics and colors.
Was just going to ask why the 'gaming' version is like 100 bucks more. figured it was just marketing.
I've looked into it, and if I'm I understand correctly, having the same adjustable options as the gaming variant (i.e. fully adjustable arm rests and adjustable seat depth) costs $835 vs. the $775 of the gaming version. If you start customizing the colors for the non-gaming version (which are limited), the price goes up even further. You get to add the lumbar support, but at a significant increase in cost if you have the same base options as the gaming version :(
@@tch204 Wait for a sale....on the Sayl. I got a regular version with all "upgrades" minus the lumbar support for $650. I skipped on out lumbar because the sales agent at the store said its not that beneficial and she didnt think it was worth the extra dough.
guess you meant to say you dont suggest goin with gaming version.. mistake?
@@keijo4359 Yeah it was a typo. Do NOT get the gaming version. Its a markup for a different color option.
I still use a flippin 100 year old rocking chair for my gaming
Now this would be an upgrade
Great review! I got an Aeron in 1999 and it remains in excellent shape for my spouse now working at home. Need to replace the foam lumbar and foam seat pan ring because they wear out over time, but it is still rocking otherwise. I just ordered a Sayl from HM for myself bec/grad school efforts will be home-based for foreseeable future. Hope you still enjoy your chair.
I have love-hate relationship with Sayl.
The seatpan has a very weird shape, so you posterior is kind of hanging off it and is sandwiched between the plastic backrest and the seatpan which is not comfortable at all.
This chair has no vertical position. The default position is reclined around 15-20 degrees. I looks like it's S-curved, but in reality the curve is so low, that you basically always seat recline and that causes neck strain. If you want to seat kind of upright, you have to use forward tilt. The problem is that this places armrests and seatpan in a very awkward position, reminds me of riding a motorcycle with clip-ons.
The tiltlimiter is there, but the spring in this chair even at the lowest setting is so strong that the seat won't recline even to the first "tilt-lock" position if you weight 63 KG or less (neither me, not my girlfriend can put it to tiltlock position with just body weight, we have to flex leg muscles to do that). I have to put couple of ankle weights to the backrest to make it work more or less properly.
I have no idea how HM designed this chair, but it does not follow the curvature of human spine and does not let you seat in an upright position without slouching.
I always find myself slouching in this chair and trying to find comfortable position instead of working. I try to give it a chance everyday, but end up switching back to either ikea work chair or a regular chair.
Anyone buy it from me? I am in Portugal.
vendes por quanto? :D
Yeah dude. Disagree with your post. Either you were sitting on a lemon or it doesn't exist. The one I tried in store provided full support from my entire back, plus had the comfiest seating (had a more firm support vs. The Aeron and Mirra2).
So keep that in mind folks. Try it yourself.
p.s. no slouching - you're so well supported you wouldn't need to!!
Learn more about the chair; Set your desk & screens right; you should have everything you need unless you're doing it wrong.
@@yuribillones5094 He's right about the spring in the chair being so strong that it's hard to recline tho. I've had the problem in the showroom too and i'm 5'1 and quite lightweight. It's the only downside for me about the chair, but enough of a downside that makes me not wanna spend that much money on it.
I'd get an Aeron A instead, but there the seat depth is way too long proportionally, it hits my legs. Idk wtf HM were thinking.
With the 12 year guarantee the amount of value you get out of this is probably better then an ikea or staples chair which will bairly last 5 years. Embody, Aeron and Cosm are expensive and there you definitely pay a premium for the extras you get but saying the Sayl is overpriced is borderline stupid for what you get
but if you scratch it yourself or damage it is it covered. can we still get replacement. no right?
The Gaming Sayl where i live has the Medley fabric instead of the Sync fabric, is it still worth getting over the regular Sayl? The regular Sayl uses the Cosmos fabric. The cost difference between the two is about 37. Both don't come with the adjustable lumbar support.
Great video . . . . . BUT I am really intrigued as to EXACTLY what makes a 'gaming chair' different from an 'office chair' ? In reality the truthful answer to this is 'absolutely nothing' other than marketing purposes???
Funny story, I notice the existence of Herman Miller on a book I was reading, Blink by Michael Gladwell, and also I'm that crazy animal crossing gamer, so this chair in teal is a YES for me!!!
Of the Herman Millers that I can tell this one gives the most ASS Support (Firm) aside from perhaps the Embody but the Mirra and Aereon are less supportive and more cusion like. Firm is what I like/snjoy.
Thanks for this video. I bought an all black Sayl about a month ago. Your review helped me to decide which chair as I was looking at loads of them. The Sayl isn’t a big monster chair as you pointed out. Just big enough and doesn’t take over the whole room. Super comfy and I just love it.
So thanks a lot. Sorry I do not know your name.
I'm seeing this comment was 8 months ago, if you're reading this, are you still using it and happy with the chair?
any update on how comfy is this?
Please do more reviews/review the chair at a later date 👍
Lol what more details do u need? Just buy the damn chair man!! Lol
@@nfwuk5955 hell no it's over £1000 😂

Yo, where's that long-term review at @Olli43?? On the fence about buying one, would love to hear how you still feel about it :)
We have these chairs in my uni, probably the best chair i have ever sat on. I never knew they were herman Miller and costed this much.
Atting someone in YT comments doesn’t work.
for a chair that costs over £500 you would expect it to be good
Yep
exactly like this is not affordable for most people
@@nathanskathan5121 Not for kids, no. Most actual people can afford this.
@ yes ppl can afford this... but it more of a want rather than a need
@ I agree that most gaming chairs are trash , but I don’t think u needa spend $500 for this chair or $1000+ for one of those Aeron, I’m feeling great with my $140 staples chair. Welp different people have different standards ig
What is this channel now? I thought you weren’t posting on here anymore?
its not a gaming specific chair, it existed as an office chair before. The gaming version is just the colorschemes ;)
Just got mine! Black and red. It’s amazing.
The arm rests also turn in and out, and the chair has a forward leaning position. I've had one for about a month and it's ascendant! Great chair.
Hey Craw, what are you long term impressions now? Any issues? Can you comment on the reclining only feel or does it let you go upright comfortably and naturally? Any adjustments/lumbar you wish it had. Any material wear on the seat/cushion, how's she holding up?
@@eddieneyman4035 Still absolutely love it. I'm 46 and work a pretty physical job, and after a days work, I still love settling into my battle station for gaming sessions. I still highly recommend this chair. The materials still look brand new, the fabric is great. Not to sound like a fanboy, but this chair is great. I've got no regrets.
hi, is your chair noisy ? specially when your back touches the back of the chair i get a clicky squecky sound so when i move around a lot its very annoying.....
Any updates on this? Do you still like it as much?
How will we get extra FPS ..... it doesn’t have RGB 😑😆
Hey, thanks for the review. How is it a year since?
I have been sitting on it for the last 2 days, and I feel the net back is not soft and is unconfortable.
Hey dude, had a look through your vids and didn't see a review, just wondering if you liked it or not? Cheers
P.s. of the Sayl reviews I've watched so far I really like this review style the most!
Hey nice setup, what was that pre-amp you were using with your microphone??? Good vid for the chair!
I think the HM Logitech G embody chair is by far the best out in the market right now. I was able to find one brand new for $1100 shipped to my door. I love my embody chair.
Where you find it for that price?
@@ewikjason3680 fantasy land
@@justin2956 fr all these people are like I found this chair for 400 and it’s like there’s no way that happened unless it’s used dude.
You dont get the hype you deserve 👊👊🔥👑
Is paying the extra $50 for high height adjustment worth it im 6ft
Kind of hard to tell, but is that seat the gray or black version? What was the black friday deal out of curiosity? May have to wait for the next one..
I like your room. Look tidy and clean.
beautiful chair
6:21 ive got this same pinky, keyboard to blame I think.. I bet when you put your hand in a natural position it closes automatically doesnt it??
Great first impression video, would love to hear your thoughts in a full review. Purchased the red gaming version and waiting for it to ship :)
I just ordered the red one too. How long did it take to ship sir
Hey Darren, any feedback? Considering this as well as it's on special
@@marcusvoorhees2266 Any feedback on yours? worth it?
nice vid
keep up the good work
How you doing with this so many months later ? Also what’s your height
wait, i thought this was a channel for live streams. what is this video?? i'm so confused as to what to expect from each channel xD
what is your camera arm mount thing? :o
If you're over 6 feet tall I would suggest you look elsewhere, I'm 6'2" and I found this chair to be rather uncomfortable...the whole thing just felt too small - I couldn't make it tall enough to get my legs at a comfortable angle, I couldn't slide the seat pan out far enough to accommodate my the top half of my legs, and the back of the chair was too short and pressed right under my shoulder blades.
I have one of these except I stole it from my dads office lmao. I love tho it’s great
Can you get me one l
Are the arms removable?
herman miller doesn't use headrests ever.... that's my only complaint
How tall are you?
What brand is your desk?
Hi dear! Can I ask how tall are you?
Chair
Cool chair, EVEN cooler ollie, making a vid! Keep reviewing stuff ill keep watching x
cool chair
Does the seat get warm super fast ?
No, not really
What happened to George? I miss watching you guys play together
The design is nice but looks a bit cheap for the price
The looks are subjective, but the build quality is great. It comes pre-asssmbled and weighs 60 lbs. It's very sturdy and rolls quietly and smoothly.
I want to say something
Don't
Can you lock it when you lean back? Like it stays back till you unlock it again to sit normal. Couldn´t find any answer.
If you tilt back it will stay back until you choose to sit back up. There's a couple different recline positions, and a forward tilt position. The tension is adjustable too, so you can decide how much force is needed to tilt it.
So it doesn't lock back, but it doesn't try to push you forward either.
12 year warranty damn.
For 1195 it better fucking hover

Plz do a review of the chair in a month or so.
what make a chair gaming? gaming desk? gaming everything......is this just a marketing thing??
the gaming branding is purely a marketing thing as you say, the official Herman Miller site says they've worked together with pro-gamers and Logitech to create the new Embody, but I doubt it's much different from the others. What counts is the fundamentals
but theres no neck support tho..
Typically in chairs like these you are supported to not need it.
£500 for a chair?! Is that a normal thing 😂. Only 17, and stuck with a rip-off GT Omega chair (GT Force, lol), so that's a genuine question.
Omega chairs look so much comfier then this one
The whole point is that the chair lasts for 10-12 years. Meanwhile the cheaper racing chairs will not last as long, so you'll go through more chairs paying the same amount or even more. But while the HM chair also lasts longer it's also made by people who know something about ergonomics. Although the actual seat comfort should be tested before you fully commit to it.
It's a well build piece of furniture and designed to last, the value over time is appropriate. I work a physical job, and when I get home and game it's the most relaxing and comfortable chair I've owned. An investment for sure, but several months later I've no regrets.
The build quality of HM chairs are superb, this one is no exception. Another reason why they dare to slap a 12 year warranty on them. Because of that, the price is well justified. It is also more comfortable vs the gaming chairs I've sat on (this statement is subjective, as the feel of a chair, especially the seat, varies too much from person to person).
I just broke my 1300$ chair from Ligne Roset.
That chair looks like some kind of cheap chair for kids
Hi lol
Hard rubber = Silicone
it's TPU
£500 though
Amortise it - how much cost is that /day when you're using it for a decade?? That's 19p/day for 'not a bad back'.
First
I hate this chair is worse than my old Mira :(

What a terrible review
that plastic shit cost that much?!
