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
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.
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.
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.
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 ;)
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!
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*!
Just got my white with Iris color in today just installed it. I also have the balance fabric but this Rythnm doesn't look bad at all with the balance. I love it turns this chair into a whole other monster. I also used your code so thanks for the savings with that. Im for sure going to get some Warzone and some BoardWalk Empire in this chair today. Im a full time trader and this chair with this headrest in 100% best chair on market and best headrest if your at your Pc for 8-10 hours a day. Thanks again
follow their instagram updates. They're a small company getting slammed with a ton of emails and orders, so I assume they need to make decisions about where to focus their energy - answering the same question "WHERE IS MY HEADREST!?!?!" a million times or on getting headrests out to people!
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?
Literally just ordered 2 Embodys after holding off for 3 years. It's like the timing is all coming together lol! I ordered through an AD and was completely shocked about the discounts. I'm surprised barely anyone talks about byying through them because i would have bought wven sooner if I'd know just how much i could save.
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.
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!
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!.
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!
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!
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!
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!
Ordered my on Jan 2, didn't received yet. I get that they are working hard on it, but it's frustrating and I already regret of giving my money to a company that barelly provide customer support on this aspect. I'll keep hopping that it will arrive or that they will answer my e-mail.
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
@@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.
3:13 DIY TAG SOLUTION: I got my Girlfriend to Detach the Tag from the back and she Stitched it into the back of the Headrest instead! She sews all the time and it was super easy for her to do but she wouldn't recommend it to anyone THAT HAS NEVER HAND STITCHED SOMETHING "DELICATE". But yeah now my TAG IS VISIBLE AGAIN! FOR CLARITY: She stitched it to the back of the headrest in the center where the Fabric is (kind of similar to how its attached to the fabric that folds back over the chair) if that makes sense?
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.
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.
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?
Finally got it BUT I forgot about your pro-tips!!!!! I wish I would have remembered. I needed that 3rd hand like that guy from Venus in that Twilight Zone Episode... ( I even won that contest for $50 and never contacted you moron I am!)
Received mine, badly designed. The bottom part of the back of the chair hits the headrest support. It limits the chair movements when you lay back in it and will break. Show it with videos to Atlas and they will answer that it is normal... Buy it if you want, but know that it will limit and file the plastic...
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
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.
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...
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!
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 heard they won't have one for the Amethyst gaming color😔 I would've immediately bought one otherwise, but now I'm curious about how this holds up against Office Logix's embody headrest as they do offer the amethyst color. In terms of looks I think Atlas wins by far, but not having my color does suck a little bit. Thankfully it's not a deal breaker lol Hoping to see a comparison some time so I can have an idea of what I may end up leaning towards lmao
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.
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
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
"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!
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!
I hope it’s not a SCAM! They have a really bad customer service! I ordered more than a month ago and no response for my emails! Very disappointed!!!!! I paid 215$ !!!!
They already made an Aeron headrest and it sells like hotcakes. Follow their instagram. People ordered back in like december and they’re still getting them out. Small business. Go check Reddit as well and you’ll see there’s no scam. Just gotta be patient
Be Patience guys. I'm order #19034 and still waiting for mine. I understand they are slowly getting around to all the colors and material combinations. Hopefully I'll receive mine soon but I know they'll eventually send me a good product.
My Atlas headrest finally arrived, and as you note, the materials and design seem top notch. I just wish it fit my chair. I have the Embody Gaming chair, and ordered the Embody Gaming headrest, but there is no way that it fits. The curve of the headrest post where it meets the back of the chair is the wrong shape and it doesn't allow for the screws to meet the post. It just doesn't allow the headrest post to get close enough (picture square-ish peg trying to match up to a round(er) post; just doesn't fit). Anyone else running into this?
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.
I just ordered my Embody, got it 20% off for a total of $1,510 after tax and shipping. Hoping it arrives around the time they come to pick up my Vantum, yeah I bought one without reading reviews ... I cancelled before it shipped but it did ship. I do not suggest a Vantum, the seat is tiny, the armrests suck, it's only really amazing for lounging in. Once my Embody arrives I plan on getting this headrest maybe in a paycheck or two, Herman Miller nearly broke me. xD
Tension Knob tends to strip/move after 3-4 days of using the headrest. Especially if you are relaxing. That's the only con. Other than that it's PURRFECT.
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?
Great review and thanks for the install directions. I am now chilling in my Black / White Embody Gaming Chair with matching Atlas Headrest and it feels like i'm floating on a cloud!
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!
They really need to do some tuning with their injection tooling. Left over flash, edges that need have fillet, separation lines on the A-surface, etc. Expected more refinement for the price tag. Did they really need to slap their logo on the top AND bottom of the headrest arm? Not to mention I hurt my hand trying to tighten the knob so it wouldn't move. Overall it's a disappointment compared to their Aeron headrest.
Dan, I would be grateful for your thoughts on this: what is the markup on Herman Miller chairs? Is it true they sell them ridiculously low to businesses, e.g. an RRP of $1750 for around $800, or even lower ? Also, what do they do with Aerons that are returned within the 14 day returns period; they cannot be sold as new, so what happens to these ? Kind regards,
Businesses don't tend to pay tax up front, so they can get away with lower prices, especially if they buy in bulk from HM directly. Those used Aerons will probably get sent to authorised refurbishment partners.
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.
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
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.
