I recently got this chair and at first I wasn't as blown away as I had hoped to be at first, however after sitting in the chair for more than just a few minutes really opened my eyes and **THEN** blew me away. I have no pains or aches whatsoever after sitting in the chair for hours on end and I don't feel the need to stretch wildly after getting up and away from my desk. It's so comfortable and cool to the touch, the armrests and noise are of no issue to me, everything is so smooth acting and the design is beyond amazing. Would definitely buy this again.

Absolutely love my HM x Logitech Embody in Cyan. I've had it for about 6 months now and hope to get years of use out of it. As I WFH full-time, I managed to get work to pay for it and it has more or less got rid of my back problems. I am glad I opted for the Gaming variant due to the thicker fabric. This was something I was aware of beforehand, but for me, it was a case of the fastest delivery and cheapest available at the time - as it was on sale. I did a ton of research before settling on this chair and one of my sources was your channel. Keep up the good work!

@White_5tar Год назад

Sounds like the backrest is too upright for you. Try easing the backrest by using the back knob at the base of the backrest. This should move the backrest back, allowing you to sit in a more relaxed position. Find a sweet spot where you can sit comfortably. As you get used to the chair, I think you can try making it more upright. Had a friend who had a similar issue to you, so hope this helps.

@BIadelores Год назад

Basically my perfect chair. Never used a better chair before, and I no longer experience back pain after work. Can safely say I have no plans to ever work with another chair - despite its steep price, if mine broke down without repair I would buy it again without a second thought. Also it’s worth noting that HM appears to have taken the sound complaint into account with the latest models. I bought my chair during last year’s Christmas sale and it makes 0 sound, it’s fully quiet even after actively trying to make it crease.

@kimball4699 9 месяцев назад

Interesting! This is the only reason why Im reluctant as to buying it since every review mentions the annoying sound. Return fee in sweden is about 70 friggin bucka as well so no easy way of trying…

@RecklessFables Год назад

I have the regular Embody and it was a vast improvement for my over the Aeron, DX Racer, and other chairs I've had or tried. Since I have damage to my spine due to a life well-lived, I was surprised to find the stiff cushioning to be so comfortable. My only real complaint is also the side-side adjustment of the armrests. I like to lean on them when I have to reach for something (or deal with a mischievous cat) so I really wish they locked into place instead of the notched positions. As complaints go, that is pretty niche.

@jeff4ist 8 месяцев назад

This video is completely wrong about the cushioning on the seats of the Logitech Embody and standard Embody chairs. The comparison object is chairs before 2021. The standard chair produced after 2022 has the same thickened sponge cushioning as the Logitech gaming chair.

@phototristan Год назад

The Steelcase leap is a horrible chair, that gap at the tailbone between the seat and the back absolutely kills your back.

@StygianWolf 10 месяцев назад

Agreed. Ironically I've seen people on Reddit promote the leap over the Haworth fern for the exact same thing when the leap has that gap as well. Ridiculous.

@dubble Год назад

Great video, it's always interesting to see how different a chair can be for two different people. I prefer the regular Embody over the gaming version, but the Aeron is still my chair of choice. Absolutely agree though, that in terms of gaming chairs, this is by far the best option out there. Even in terms of looks, the bucket seat ones just look so silly, despite nice colour options and stitching.

@HayashiKaiji Год назад

So you tried both and opted for the normal Embody? I have my normal Embody coming in soon in a few days, but I haven't tried any of them. So I'm curious what reasons you have for picking the normal Embody?

@dubble Год назад

@@HayashiKaiji I've tried both in two different showrooms. What the video doesn't mention is that they've added the extra padding on the seat on the regular Embody as well, so it feels similar. I prefer the fabric on the regular Embody and it's quieter as well. However, with still creaking on the recline and me preferring the mesh on the Aeron anyway, it made me go that route. Chances are, if you like one variant, you'll like the other as well. Unless you're sensitive to noise like I am, then neither is a real option unfortunately.

Got a normal Embody a few days ago and it hurts me worse than my Secret Lab chair

@rzmonk76 Год назад

I'm defiantly saving for one of these. One of the biggest pro's is the 12 year warranty over my secret lab chair's 2 year warranty. My secret lab arms get cut up because they wont go down all the way under the table. I ended up taking them off so I can scoot my chair all the way forward. Also on the secret lab, the seat tilt lock mech broke and they gave me the runaround in getting a replacement. Asking me multiple times for the same information. I just gave up on the repair process.

@gaulparcia Год назад

This was actually a selling point for me. My secretlab chair broke three times during the warranty period and finally just now outside of warranty. Secretlab was pretty awesome with repairs but if I have to buy a new chair every 3 years its going to end up costing the same as this one.

@SAXASIANGUY Год назад

The Vantum probably didn't feel like a 'Herman Miller' chair because perhaps it was designed by the 'Knoll' designers that had since been acquired by "Miller-Knoll"

@Shearsy013 Год назад

Vantum was developed by a full gaming team within HM's team. They even worked with local esports team + their own research department team solely targeting the gaming area to create the vantum. Even though I am not a fan of the Vantum, they did try their best on the first iteration of their 'gaming' chair.

@Nersius Год назад

Would also add that Knoll chairs are excellent shared-space chairs, like with Humanscale. There are good reasons why Herman Miller wanted Knoll. No clue how Vantum became the massive disappointment it is...

@StardustLegacyFighter Год назад

Worst chair they've ever made. It badly needs a redesign.

@dubble Год назад

It's not really the design that's terrible with the vantum, it's the cost cutting at too many corners. Small seat depth to save money, regular synchro tilt to save money, cheap mesh to save money, clunky plastic mechanisms to save money. If they hadn't cut corners at every turn, it could have been a great, nice looking chair. I'd have preferred a $1500 chair, rather than a $990 chair that feels like a $500 chair. Free returns, 12 years warranty and manufacturing in the US aren't suited for cheap chairs, so it's understandable, but it's just a bad product in the end.

You say it lets you sit up in a way that normal gaming chairs don’t, but that is nonsense. The back is designed to have you leaning back with you head upright. If you try and crank the back more upright it just awkwardly pushes your shoulders forward. I agree it has a great seat, but the back is diabolical compared with other chairs like the aeron.

Thanks so much for the review. I have a question to ask you: I work as a remote programmer and have been using an Ikea Jarvafallet chair for a few years, now thanks to your channel I realized that all this time I could have been much more comfortable... After seeing many reviews I am undecided between two models (but obviously I accept other suggestions 😁): the Steelcase Amia and the Herman Miller Embody Gaming, but there is an important clarification to make, I live in northern Italy with summer temperatures up to 35 degrees celsius (should be 95 degrees fahrenheit), and I'm someone who tends to sweat a lot in the summer. Having said that, what do you think of the choice between these two chairs? Would I die of heat with Amia? Ps: I know that there are also completely mesh chairs, but I'm not convinced of their comfort in terms of seating, based on what you've said, do you still suggest I take them into consideration?

@sasso3844 Год назад

if only the seat and back were more soft and comfortable and overall had less creaking sound, then the embody would be great. But the chair does not even feel like a 1k chair. It really feels like a scam. I send mine back, had two.. last was the logitech gaming which I thought would fix things but.. both times I wasn't really convinced. Had all the high priced chairs behind me now.. leap v2, fern, embody, aeron remastered.. nothing really convincing for LONG sessions of gaming. Either extremely pain in butt and lower back or just felt cheap. The aeron in c (as and slightly "oversized" chair for me) is the only one that were ACTAULLY comfortable, like a real hammock, if it just didn't had this frame problem.. but with this problem it doesn't seem worth it to spend that kinda money even if it was quite comfy for 2months straight with no pain, sadly. I wish HM would upgrade the aeron and find a solution with the hard frame on the seat. A cushion pad perfectly sized for the Aeron, to go all the way over the frame might be an option but I don't know.. too pricy if I have to find workarrounds because of a design flaw

@StardustLegacyFighter Год назад

It's not a design flaw, chairs like the Aeron were never designed for gaming. I use it for gaming too, but I'm not the type to sit in weird positions or fidget around, so the frame has never once bothered me in the slightest. If the frame and seat edges really bother you, I'd probably just wait for the Steelcase Karman to officially come out.

The polished aluminum definitely brings up the premium look up massively. Also took me a while to get used to sitting on it, I think it clicked once I tried sitting all the way back in the chair and when I saw an infographic showing the proper seating position is at 100 degrees where there is less pressure at the spine.

Does the plastic pixel structure on the seat become more flexy after years of usage? The front part feels to rigid imho, but it looks more flexy when youre pressing it with your hand in this video

@bobbymeadors3567 Год назад

I haven’t had mine a long time, but from what I’ve researched and experienced, it doesn’t necessarily get much more flexible, but it will start to conform to your shape, it’ll have your butt groove. And that becomes more comfortable

Honestly the only real complaints i ever had with the Embody is that weirdass armrest. I'm used to it but i don't think i'll ever be a fan. This changed nothing on that so I'm not sure i'd spend the extra money.

@user-js4ob4it3l Год назад

It would be nice if the tension adjustment was on the waist instead of the back. So I prefer the leap chair

@WolfOfJustice Год назад

It's because the Embody has two tension adjustment mechanisms, one for the recline tension and one for the backrest tension. Pretty sure the Leap has the same setup, with the lumbar depth tension near the back of the chair.

This video is completely wrong about the fabric on the seats of the Logitech Embody and standard Embody chairs. The comparison object is chairs before 2021. The standard chair produced after 2021 has the same thickened sponge fabric as the Logitech gaming chair.

@chrisowens6670 9 месяцев назад

I bought it along with a Haworth Fern to replace my Embody. I wanted to like it but I hate the Destrier. I love the back on the Haworth and love the seat on the Embody. The Destrier is going back this weekend. The mesh is hard and it's just not a comfortable chair coming from the Embody. The seat sucks on the Haworth Fern though.

@kevinjesmain5780 Год назад

Does anyone know if there is still a difference in the seat between the gaming and a regular embody in 2023? It seems the seat has been updated but I can’t quite tell

@philipbrand4759 Год назад

They added more padding to the regular one somewhere beginning 2021. The only other difference is that the gaming embody seat is copper infused so it takes away the heat from your body.

@dennisa7784 Год назад

I feel like it's more how it's spec'd. The normal embody has alot of options but the gaming embody comes with pre spec'd for the option that would be best for gaming like the sync fabric and premium casters. On top of the additional padding for longer gaming sessions. Seems genuine to me. I would rather have a great existing chair optimized for my use than them be forced to make something new and different that isn't as good (vantum). if it ain't broke don't fix it

@WolfOfJustice Год назад

It's a "gaming edition" of the Embody chair, not a gaming chair. The Embody probably has the most differences when compared to the regular version, unlike the Sayl and Aeron, which are purely cosmetic changes.

@StardustLegacyFighter Год назад

Didn't Haworth do the same thing with the Halo Fern, yet I don't see you calling them out for it? I personally liked that Haworth partnered up with a gaming franchise, as it's essentially what Secretcrap does but much better, because the chair doesn't suck.

The pad is NOT thicker on the Logitech Embody, compared to the normal. They added more foam to the Embody back in february 2021. If you're going to do a In-depth review of a product like this, at least do some research .. It's hard to take this review serious, when you're comparing these 2 chairs, based on a old model (and you leave out a detail like this). Sorry, but this is why you received a dislike 👎

@btodtv Год назад

Yea that’s a tough one. I didn’t see anywhere on their website, price guide, pictures or videos to show this change. I also chatted with a HM rep about the 2 chairs they told me that the seat was one of the differences between the chairs. I did my best to put out the most accurate information. Aside from ordering a new Embody every month, I am not sure there is anything more I could do here. -RB

@StardustLegacyFighter Год назад

Fair enough they didn't mention the update for the regular Embody, but I'd say that's a very petty reason to not take a review seriously. If you know anything about these guys from the several reviews they've made on other chairs, you'd know that these guys are chair experts.

@mogensen84 Год назад

@@StardustLegacyFighter There are other things to take into consideration as well.

@mogensen84 Год назад

@@btodtv This is my input in relation to this review. You mention that the biggest difference between the normal Embody and the gaming Embody is the seat - You go on to tell how you can feel the notes on the normal Embody as opposed to the gaming Embody. That's not the case anymore, and hasn't been since February 2021 when they updated their regular Embody to add an extra layer of foam. The biggest difference between these 2 chairs is that the gaming Embody has an extra layer of copper-infused foam. There is also a difference in the fabric of the 2 chairs, but the normal Embody is available in several variants. At no point do you get around this very thing, which makes these 2 chairs different from each other. If you have used the chair intensively for 2 weeks, you should be able to tell how his experience with the seat is, compared to the normal Embody (even if it is from before the 2021 update) - Is it hot after several hours, or does the extra layer of copper work - infused foam??? Precisely because this page makes reviews of chairs, and probably also has an interest in providing useful information. Then I don't understand how the above information can be omitted. My feedback is meant to be constructive and based on what I would expect in a review of this chair, especially when it is made by someone who claims to be an expert. Use it or leave it.. And it might also have been worth mentioning that for those who are considering this chair but lack a headrest - It can be purchased via Atlas Headrest (which are former Herman Miller employees who developed it). It matches the chair 100% in terms of color and design.

@Tjenaretjenaremannen Год назад

But it still has more foam the gaming variant hasnt it? Also the backrest has an extra layer as well which the regular embody doesnt have? They only included and extra piece of foam in the seat for the 2021 update? So I mean that would make a difference as well.
