Hey I think the cooling gel actually works. In your test you concluded that it did *not* work because the gaming backrest was warmer than the non-gaming, but this actually means the chair is conducting heat away from your body faster than non-gaming. Copper is a highly conductive metal with a low specific heat so it “feels” colder to the touch even when it’s at the same temperature as a normal cloth material. The reason it feels colder is because it conducts heat away from your skin efficiently. It’s the same principle behind putting an ice cube on a metal block vs an ice cube on a book. Both the book and the metal block are the same temperature, but the ice will melt immediately on the metal and not the book. The gaming embody getting measured at a temperature closer to your body temperature after 30 mins actually suggests that the copper cooling gel does work, even if it’s marginal.

I did decide to purchase the headrest a week ago cause it would be nice to have my neck/head supported to fully relax when I lean back. It is expensive but I figure it’s an investment since I’m going to spending years sitting in this chair 8hrs a day.. it’s totally worth it! I hope HM never discontinues the gaming embody

Off note, I know there are reviews about the plastic noise with movement, I barely notice it as a 1st timer owner of HM chair. You would have to be a noise free room to really hear it that much. Just wish at this price it had a headrest (purchased the Atlas headrest after market).

CC debt is the worst with crazy high interest, and you never know what'll happen between now and when you finish paying off the chair (if you're not able to make payment, you'll be taking on more debt and it'll hurt your credit score)! If you absolutely need a good ergonomic chair, there are a lot of solid chairs out there for cheaper and I'm putting out a video today (12PM est) about an alternative way to go about buying an ergonomic chair that can save you some money!

I can actually answer the question at ~ 1:10 mark about pricing: The classic embody has a higher selection of colorways, materials, and casters, so they construct them upon order. The gaming embody has only four options that are pre-built, so they just pull your selection off the shelf. It's not the cost of the materials, it's more of the time/customization (and possibly the knowledge that they can eek out a bit more cost from businesses buying non-gaming Embody chairs).

Fortunately, I also have an Atlas headrest which mitigates a majority of the aggressiveness on the shoulders.

​@@wazewaze8185 haha ok hold on. Did I do something to offend you? Because you're making some crazy assumptions here. I did not return the chair, it's sitting in my studio right now. I even said in the video I purchased the chair over 1.5 months ago before I even made the video (and sat in it for 3 weeks straight to make sure I was getting things right). So how do I return it when it's way past the return window? I even ordered a matching nightfall headrest for it, hoping it would get here before I made the video, but Atlas Headrest was still backed up. and didn't get it in time. So yeah...this was a $2,000+ video (not including cost for my own time and skills). And icing on the cake...if what you're saying is true, why wouldn't I tell people to buy the more expensive one? The non-gaming Embody costs more AND can cost like $500 more if you get all the fancy optional upgrades. Just getting a white frame for the regular one brings the price to $2k! I stand to make more money on promoting that one. Can you explain your logic?

First of all, thanks for the effort you put into these videos! I already commented on one of your other videos that I ended up getting an Embody like two weeks ago. Would probably have gone for a gaming one if it was possible but it's not here in Norway. I also went for the Rythm fabric instead of the Sync, simply due to the pricing here, it was quite a bit cheaper. According to HM's own site though it seems like they're very similar, but hey I have no idea. I do like the chair, but I'm still getting used to it, trying to figure out the "perfect" settings for me.

Bless. We’ve needed a comprehensive comparison video like this with a newer regular Embody very badly in the community, and you delivered! It sounds like I may have made a mistake buying the regular Embody instead of the gaming one a year ago, given this comparison. But to be fair, I think it was the correct decision given the information I had at the time. The biggest factors being the noise, hearing that the foam in the backrest on the gaming one was uneven, and hearing that there were more quality control issues with the gaming one due to it being mass-produced (whereas the regulars are usually custom-made, hence the higher price). But it sounds like based off your review here that the foam in the backrest may not be an issue, and that the quality control observation may have been worth risking (worst case scenario, you return the chair for another one). And on the subreddit I’m even hearing that the noise may not be an issue anymore on the newer gaming Embodies, based off of what some people who bought ones recently are saying.

To give a different perspective: As a pretty tall person myself (200 cm/ 6'5 ft), I don't have any issues with the OG Embodys (2023) back shape at the top. It doesn't even get uncomfortable when I adjust the back fit tention to the maximum, which I never do during normal use. Just some anecdotal evidence, but maybe it helps someone to decide :) Great content als always.

Regarding thermals: 1. It's not a heat gun, it's a thermal camera 2. The copper-infused foam (not gel) wouldn't be cooler itself - it would, if it works, pull the heat from your body quicker. So if the seating area is warmer after sitting in, it could be a sign of it working properly. You would need to measure body temperature of the affected areas too to conclude tho'. So if you really wanna test it, you need to strip down to your boxers, sit in the Embody for x amount of time, get up, and record yourself and the chair with a thermal camera. Then wait for your body and the chair to reach equilibrium and repeat a couple of times. Then do the same for the Embody Gaming and compare results. That way you can conclusively tell whether the chair effectively cools you or not.

just bought my gaming HM embody comparing it to the regular gaming body (used) can definitely say yes it is very comfortable but you got to take into consideration this is to help with posture and it doesn't come with a headrest nor a leg rest like a typical gaming racing chair does but I will say the regular embody did feel a bit rougher and cheaper comparing it to the gaming version but one thing to also take into consideration is that if you buy it used and some parts look bad you aren't granted a 12 warranty for the chair but this is just my hot take obviously you can buy a headrest and a leg rest for this but these things are optional also... Thank you Ahnestly also for showing me everything about this chair that I wouldn't have known on the chair like functions and other cool stuff like buying guides and other alternatives if we cant afford high end pricey chairs which I wouldn't have known of :)

Great video. Your videos have been very helpful. Yesterday I went to a local store that sells Herman Miller chairs and I compared the crap out of the regular and gaming versions. Seats up and down, backrest in all levels of recline, chair lengthened and shortened, moving back and forth and left and right, full lumbar to zero lumbar (I know it's the entire back that moves, not just the lumbar area), sitting properly and cross-legged (I constantly go back and forth), back and forth between the chairs multiple times. And I think I'm going with the regular Embody, although I'm taking my wife there to have her test it too. The noise of the gaming chair was just too much for me. The regular Embody didn't have anywhere near that level of crunching noise that the gaming one did, as you can clearly hear in your demonstration, and the seat just felt more comfortable overall. So I'm pretty sure the regular Embody is the one for me.

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?

You answered me promptly the other day and I'm halfway praying you're able to do it again (I might be pressing my luck though). I can get a new regular Embody for $1200. I will use your affiliate link to do this. I'm wondering, if I just got a seat cushion with it, could I emulate the gaming Embody or get it halfway close? Do you own any seat cushions (Amazon has some great ones if not)? My back barely ever touches whatever office chair I'm sitting in, so the back padding is CLOSE to a non-issue for me (I'll maybe press backwards or lean back for, like, 10 seconds at a time max, perhaps 2-3 times per day).

Hello, thanks a lot for making very informative video :D unfortunately in EU it's hard to buy Logitech Embody (impossible in my country) :( I'm thinking of getting Regular one with Rhythm farbic (for Sync one you need to wait a couple of months) but I confirmed it has foam in seat (added after 2021 or so). After this video I'm thinking if Aeron remastered would be better than regular embody (I'm ~165cm and work from home and after work sit in front of computer most of the time). On regular Embody I'm worried about lumbar support (on reddit some people have issue that plastic like getting into their back and I have sometimes pain in my lower back and wonder if it's really a problem) on Logitech you have extra padding in back so probably its better. On the other hand I don't know if Aeron will be comfortable for sitting that long (and at the end of movie make yourself comfortable etc.). What do you think about this? Maybe someone had similar problem as I do? Any comments will be very helpfull for me.

Not sure if you've bought something as my reply comes 5 months later however I will reply regardless. I own both the regular and gaming embody. Lumbar is less prominent on the gaming. It takes me around 8,9 hours of sitting until the lumbar starts bothering me and pinching on my lower back and having to keep changing positions. On the normal embody lumbar is definitely more aggressive. Whole back is actually less comfortable and more stiff on the normal.

hello man i been watching a ton of your videos & with the current sell im gonna buy one on the 20th but my questions is, is that is it ok if i surpass the weight limit? as in will it still last a long time ?

Hey...so wanna be careful here....I believe the weight limit is primarily based on the cylinders used ((the metal rod thing thing that raises the chair up and down) and probably for what the frame/materials can withstand. If you exceed the weight limit, it's possible that there will be faster wear and tear on the chair, and the cylinder may give out much faster as well. You may not qualify for the warranty as well, since you would be using it outside of its normal operating conditions. This being said...I would rather use a higher quality chair rather than a lower quality chair if I were going to exceed the weight limit on a chair. But this is just my opinion and not advice or fact!

@@Ahnestly mmhhh ok thank you for you comment if the piston was to go out do you happen to know how much it would cost to replace if it's not crazy i wouldn't mind paying it as long as the chair is very comfy & is still in good condition haha
