I went to my local Herman Miller dealer and found out they offered a LOT more fabric/color options for my embody chair than were available on their website. They even mailed me a full set of swatches for free :)

Top notch quality reviews! Consistently honest and intellectual. At first, I was skeptical considering how clean the videos are made. It gave me the impression of a paid review, but you guys actually layout great, honest comparisons with pro's and con's and plenty of other information.

Sooooo I’ve owned an embody for about a week now. At first I was wondering what all the fuss was about. I got it because I ran into a great deal and thought I might flip it because I also currently own a gesture and leapV2. After using the embody for a week, I’ve realized that you don’t truely appreciate it until after using it for 2+ hours. I’m sitting at my desk for over 8 hours a day and my back doesn’t get sore like it does with the gesture, leap, or Ergochair pro. I’d say the best part about the embody is the support. It’s not appetizing at first but after sitting in it for a while, you start to understand why it is designed beyond curb appeal. The chair disperses your weight very nicely, especially if you have intense pressure points. My bottom is super bony and I have absolutely no issues with the embody like I do with the other chairs I’ve mentioned. I’m about 5’9” @155 lbs (more of a lean build) and the chair fits me perfectly. I understand why it wouldn’t be for everyone, but if it’s right for you, it’s hard for me to understand why you would sit in anything else (considering that money is not an issue). I most definitely will not be going back to the leap or gesture.

I tried both, including the Aeron B and C sizes. (I’m 6-2, 205.) I first tried the B, which felt quite good, but I found the Posture Fit SL pressure was a bit low on the spine, like at the very bottom of the lower pad, which was surprising. I then tried the C, which felt more open and less constricting. The lower seat isn’t too long for my thighs, so this is the right size for me. The Posture Fit SL mechanism was broken on the C demo chair, so I couldn’t check its pressure points. Even without lumbar support, the C felt great. I then tried the Embody, and it just felt like a basic chair. I moved around a bit, and I’m sure it flexed, but I didn’t really feel anything to be excited about. Maybe some people move and stretch a lot while sitting, but for me, the articulation seemed more like a marketing feature than a practical one. Back in the Aeron C, and the support felt special. I had just driven over an hour in LA traffic in an uncomfortable rental car, and the C was a welcome relief. When I stood up, my back felt like the rental car knots had been loosened and untied. Given that I tend to do tasks and lean back, rather than stretch, move, sit sideways, and wide-cross my legs, the C was my choice. I ended up ordering the standard lumbar support, so I can adjust it vertically. I figure that I can add some foam or a gel, if I want a bit more push from it. I receive the chair in a few days…

Great review, really appreciate the detail.

Awesome video, very timely considering many of us are now choosing/forced into a work-from-home scenario. I'm leaning a bit more towards the embody since I tend to move a little more, and I'm going to be using it for home studio and guitar recording so I imagine the adjustable arms and bigger seatpan allow for a more instrument-friendly seating experience. Would you say that's a correct assumption? I wish I could go to a store and try them out, but of course COVID is making that rather difficult right now!

Thanks much for the review! Currently own both and they are great in their own ways. The embody is just perfect to lounge and the back support is insane. The Aeron is just a perfect task chair for upright computer tasking. Dang might have to keep both lol

Very well done video with excellent narration instead of just annoying music. Narrator spoke clearly an explained every option thoroughly. KZfaq composers, regardless of material, could take some pointers from this narrator. No excess babbling, good A/B comparisons of two similar items, clear and concise speech which was targeted to each item of discussion. That aside, for my bad back, I think the Aeron might be the best solution. I rate this video as an A+ for information, product description and overall effectiveness in helping me make my decision. Thanks, Glenn Scott SC

Excellent review and very helpful!!! Thank you!!!

It'd be good to have a summary at the end of the video and possibly after each section is covered, very good content though guys!

seat depth adjustment for Aeron is buying the right size, maybe for back height and arm width too. The small Aeron seat is really small. the middle will be the most.

I absolutely love the Aeron I have at work! I really want one for at home but I just got a secret lab Titian late last year. Might sell my Titian honestly.

Do you have a late model Aeron Posture Fit that you would FedEx to New Zealand

I’ve tried both at a store yesterday and to me aeron is more comfortable period. I ordered the aeron but comparing embody to my current executive chair I bought 4 years ago my current chair is more comfortable and it’s only $300 AUD. I believe the reason why my current chair and aeron is more comfortable than embody is because the seats adjust itself as the back tilt like a rocking chair.

Will you get more Aeron's in stock? Looks like they're out of stock on your website as of today.

amazing vid, right to the point

Is there any functional difference I.e durability, comfort or breathability between the Rhythm and Balance fabric for the Embody?

Wow I just realized my office chairs are hermon Miller... I’ve never been so excited to go to the office.

I was about to order an embody (Logitech model) and I first decided to go to a Herman Miller seller. I tried 4 models and finaly ordered a aeron onyx B fully loaded. When I tried the embody, I felt the back rest in my back between my shoulders. One advice --} TRY BEFORE BUY. Bye the way, mirra 2 was very good but for the beauty I prefered ordering m'y Onxy aeron 🤤

I've heard a rumor about the sizes of the Embody that the Gaming x Logitech version has a slightly larger Back than the non gaming version….want to know if it’s true or not😅

I don't know if it would fall neatly within the area for your store and channel, but I'd be interested to see some content on chairs for gaming. Not the racing-car seat clone ones, but ones which support you in either a more active forward tilting position, or reclined in a more relaxed position. It seems that only recently manufacturers have been taking that market more seriously. Though they don't differ much from their original models, the Herman Miller Aeron Gaming Edition, and Herman Miller Embody Logitech come to mind. I'm sure most people, including myself, don't care for the 'gaming' branding much, but it'd be nice to know what chairs there are out there which fit those needs, while remaining comfortable for long durations and supporting your back and neck in the best way possible.

The best product reviews for office seating!

Details is the way to go

Hey Btod, great video! I’m looking at purchasing an Aeron in a size B. I’m ~6”, 170lbs, would you also recommend a size B for me?

What is best for lower back pain?

I have a Herman Miller Celle that I bought for £60 ($83) from an office closedown sale. It has the same or similar exoskeleton support and is awesome but I had to squirt a sh*t load of silicon lube into it to stop it squeaking. The Celle is not a chair you'll ever fall asleep in but the whole idea of the 'exoskeleton' is that it is a supportive chair for your spine and movement. It's unrivalled for the price (second hand.) I used an Aeron for 7 years at my place of work and, it just felt like a chair. The mesh made my suit trousers go shiny on my butt.

I'm 196cm (6"5), will the Herman Miller Embody work for me? Looks really great in all aspects, and I really like leaning back alot.

Thanks ...helpful.

Hmmm... I like different things on both chairs but I don't have a place to try them our here in Hawaii. I want a chair with a head rest. I study at my desk and play some games from time to time. I'm not sure which to go for. Any suggestions? I'm 6ft, 250lbs muscular.

The best thing to do for anyone is to try it yourself in a store, because you never know if it's really suitable for your from any video review. I went to HM branch to tryout the Cosm and Embody back and forth for 30mins, in the end I went for Embody because Embody offers much better adjust-ability and more comfortable to me (best back support on Earth imo), and Cosm although looks nice, there's a "hard stop" at the end of the tilt which annoys me. I was thinking "passive ergonomics" is some black magic but meh... On the other hand Aeron's design don't appeal me much and crossing leg on Aeron is awkward.

Hello What chair is more comfortable if you have bad posture and back pain the embody or the aeron? Thanks

Great content, but I really look forward to the cosm review if that's ever going to happen!

Unfortunately, the Embody color options have currently been drastically scaled back. I was interested in that green you guys have in the video but it is no longer an option.

I'm getting the Aeron!

Man, finding the right ergonomic chair for oneself is a hell of process. I've already returned three chairs, two of them being the Aeron and the Embody. The Aeron has that plastic frame that hurts when your body touches it. The Embody's backrest is very narrow and didn't cover my entire back, which felt annoying. Why would they build them like that is just beyond me. Gonna check other brands, hopefully they are more sensitive to the human body. Anyway I love your reviews, they're so helpful. Thank you.

My husband is 6'9" (no I'm not exaggerating) do have a recommendation for a chair that would accommodate his size best? And lol we are trying to get matching chairs (I'm 5'5") for the home office we share.

Please review the new Aeron Gaming chair vs the Standard Aeron. Your reviews are so good

Please do a quick review Embody vs Cosm

Hi, What is the recommended Herman Miller chair model for people who have herniated discs? Mirra 2? or Embody?

I love the green!

I'm looking for a new gaming chair (I was told ergonomic office chairs are better for that then most gaming chairs) and I tried out my brother's Aeron (which I believe is a Remastered in Size B). I did like it, but I didn't like how it felt like my hips were barely contained by the seat (though looking at this video it looks like its supposed to be this way. I could definitely feel the "scoop shape" of the chair cradling my outer thighs). I also didn't like the height of the back. It came up to just below my shoulder blades (like in this video) and I could easily lift my arms up and over the back without much effort. Is this how the chair is supposed to be, and is it something I will get used to? Or should I get the Embody or maybe a size C (I am 5'10" and 210 pounds, which puts me smack-dab in the middle of the B or C size category)?

i was disappointed by the embody when i tried it in store. just feels like a regular chair. the aeron, once you adjust it to your liking is something else. size C is good. im an average person 5'11"/170lbs. size A and B feels like the chair is trying to push me forward off the chair. it literally feels like your suspended in air

Are the arm pads on your Aeron shown in the video at 10:44 standard or leather?

I'm 5'10-11 135 and I currently have the aeron remastered but I gave it to my little sister because she has scoliosis. Now I am looking to get a new Hermon Miller chair but I'm stuck on the embody vs another aeron. The aeron sometimes felt uncomfortable and had to keep readjusting myself onto the chair. It sometimes felt like I knew/was conscious about sitting down , if that made any sense. I am all about posture and always prefer to sit completely upright. Should I switch to the embody?

The embody would have been perfect of it just had a higher back option. I've used one and if you're 6" or above it just doesn't cut it. The Cosm has to be my go to

Thanks for the video. For anyone who are experienced in using the Embody - My back fit adjustment knob is stuck in one place and is not turning. Is there any fix that anybody can recommend? (It stopped working within 5 minutes of receiving the chair after a few adjustments)

which chair is best to help relieve butt soreness from long term sitting?

No, Embody seat has weird crossover plastic under the seat that creates pressure point on the middle of my thighs and block circulation to my legs. Embody also lack of forward tilt. So you always have to sit in a lean back position.

Which chair would you reccomend for someone is 6'4?

Hey BTOD, im trying to figure this one out: when I'm sitting in my embody chair, is my tailbone supposed to touch the backrest?

No that's how you do a quality review!

I'm getting one used, should I go for a Aeron B(Can't find a Size C used) or an Embody. I'm 6'4" and 160 pounds(quite skiny). Also, I will mainly use it for gaming (FPS) professionally, and I kind of need to be sitting up-right between 90-110°, which one is more comfortable in this angle?

Couldn’t Aaron have higher back

Aeron all the way!!!! The greatest chair on the market today, bar none.

I got a free Aeron size B. I am 6ft and 195lbs will the size B work for me?

how many chairs have you reviewed with higher ratings like 80 or 90 out of 100?

embody is amazing chair. just wish they add a headrest.

Do you really have to go over shipping and warranties for chair coming from the same brand?

yeahhhhhhh the seat pixels

wow

Sitting 8 to 10 hours a day, Cosm or Embody?

This would otherwise be a great comparison video, but I can’t get past the childlike playful music playing in the background throughout.

Overall, buy both! lol

embody all day.

Chill with the music!!!!

thanks but that music...so annoying

ummm... ehh... I still can't decide!! lol D':

Only if HM doesnt cost my entire being......

Took delivery of an Aeron recently. Disappointed in the product. Disgusted with customer service.

appreciate the comparison but that music man....

Putch the price tho, i hate when that happends

Of course the Aeron wins

2019: "If you're going to spend $1000 on a chair" 2022: "If you're going to spend $1800 on a chair" ... 😲

Wow, these chairs are cheap in the US.

I still think they are way overpriced, at least 2x the price, when all things considered. That's a lot of profit.

Great product for your bumm

The embody just looks so bad with a wide seat and narrow back

so Embody would be too small for a 6'4 guy probably?

I thought they were made in China?

too bad these things cost a fortune..

When comparing two items, neither can be "best". One may be better.

fearmongering is a thing huh?

you dont even sell this shit on your website

chair, not shair

as LOW as 920$ he said... LMAO

You got bouncy elbow syndrome It’s distracting.

This along with the full post are exceptional breakdowns. I have the 2021 Aeron and it is very cool to sit in. It feels like it hugs and locks you in a bit better. I have sat in the Embody and it feels great, the logitech collab they did has a cooler seat material and it does feel really good, but Aeron still beats it. That said I like to sit with my legs more open so the Embody is super tempting as the Aeron snugs you in and encourages more of a closed leg position, harder to sit on a leg and/or change your sitting position. Can't go wrong with either, probably comes down to if cooling is important (Aeron trumps Embody there) and/or if you want more leg flexibility (being able to move legs into multiple positions) the Embody > Aeron for that.
