After choosing the Embody over the Aeron Remastered, here are my revised thoughts and tips on the Embody, having sat in the chair for more than 4k hours over 18+ months.
My prior chair was a Secret Lab Titan gaming chair, which I realised was not right for me.
I have no affiliation to Atlas (headrest company) at the time of recording this video.

The armrests are VERY easy to move when pulling them up slightly while sitting in the chair. The button does nothing for their horizontal movement, but just slightly lifting them disengages the "teeth" inside, bit like pushing on the clutch of a car so you can move the stick.

@@comfytechquest I had to turn the back tilt all the way loose, sit with my butt closest to the back so it felt like a lumbar touching, then slowly turn the back tilt toward my back whilst sitting up as straight as possible. Once the top of the back touched my back lightly, that’d be enough and I can sit up and lean back comfortably now. And the foam helped my tailbone not be in mid air so that pain was gone. Also I felt I got used to it and the chair was broken in. Lastly, your feet have to be flush on the ground

The embody is one of the best Chair I have sat on. I also bought mine used (like - new) for a fairly good price a couple months back. My back pain is not really noticeable anymore, my thighs are feeling great from the balanced foam, and the great thing is the ability to stretch backwards on both shoulders. My chair squeaks quite a bit, but I have gotten used to it. The only thumbs down I would give is to the armrest as I wish there is more flexibility in the movement.

I have been watching reviews on chairs for the past two weeks. I knew I wanted an embody but I was not about to spend 1600 dollars on it or even 1300 on sale. so, I ultimately decided to go with the Haworth Zody.... UNTIL I asked my Facebook friends what they would recommend. through that, I had learned one of my college friends works for a Herman Miller dealer and he is giving me an unbelievable deal on a new Embody. I cannot wait for it to come in even though I have to wait 6 weeks. I already put my order in for the headrest so Iam hoping they come in at around the same time.

Sorry to get back so late to everyone! So I went to go check it out before 100% committing. As soon as I sat in it I fell in love. It’s really the best chair I’ve ever sat in. And comfortable for longer periods of time. Lumbar is perfect in my opinion. Not too extreme. I highly recommend it if you are looking to invest. However other “cheaper” high end chairs might be just as comfortable but I wouldn’t know because this was the only chair I looked at in person.

The Embody seat pan is certainly more comfy than the SL Titan (at least, the 2020 version that I owned). When comparing the 2020 SL Titan and HM Embody, the only losses with the Embody in my mind are that a.) you don’t get a full recline and b.) no headrest (will be fixed soon if you are prepared to buy a third party one). Important to keep in mind that the Embody is IMO unforgiving when it comes to posture - it demands that you sit up correctly (e.g., your lower back needs to be pushed up against the back of the chair), but I don’t consider that a downside.

I have owned one for eight years looks almost new. I had a lot of replacement arms (button issue) but they provided new ones and fitted them at home. They are now giving me a new chair after eight years because of the arm button issue which is immense. Worth every single penny. It was purchased to help cure my sciatica and that's exactly what it did. I have tried every chair on the market in this range never found a better one.

I got my logitech embody a couple days ago and I love it. Amazingly through a crazy set of coincidences I actually ended up getting refunded AND got the brand new chair delivered. I think it's a great chair and I'm super happy to have it, but I'm not so sure i would have felt the same had I actually had to pay $1600 (or 2k) for it. If you have that kind of money to splurge then for sure go for it, but don't break the bank for it because I'm guessing a chair half the price would likely come close to the comfort of the embody gaming. As for no headrest, i for sure think it needs one. My atlas headrest is coming tomorrow! Unfortunately I had to pay the $200 for that one though 😉

Confused....so you are saying you got the chair...AND a refund....so a FREE Embody?

I would agree in terms of it being difficult to justify the brand new price for the Embody. Let me know what you think of the headrest, I’m a fan 😊

Must annoy you as much as me that the don't want to offer the headrest in the balance fabric.

You are absolutely spot on - I love the balance fabric!

The new gaming chair is painful to sit on. I added a foam pad and it still sucks.

Thanks for the comment. I’ve not tried the gaming Embody (aside from half an hour in a HM shop) so can’t really compare it to the standard Embody (+ custom foam) that I have.

Seems harsh having to make all those adjustments on such a costly chair tbh :/

I agree - I don't think I could justify paying full price for the chair; my review is within the context of me buying the chair second hand (3 years old at the time of purchase).

I feel like the Secret Lab Titan is the best bang for the buck. I mean it is firm, but for us bigger folk at least it doesn't bottom out.

Honestly, I'd say if the Secret Lab Titan works for you, that's great! I found that my upper back was quite sore after extended Secret Lab Titan (2020) use, otherwise I would gladly have kept the chair and a chunk of change :)

The price of the chair is comical and I cannot justify it. I could easily buy it, but I highly doubt it's 2 grand comfy. The prices on office chairs these days are comical to insulting. Taking advantage of idiots. Time to take a chair I like and just modify it into an office chair. It'll last much longer and look better.

Thanks for the fresh perspective Elim! So far, I too have not managed to justify the full RRP - my current Embody is second hand. I’d be interested to learn more about your idea - what chair(s) do you like and plan to modify?

Agreed re. The headrest (so I now have the Atlas headrest). I got used to the squeaking, doesn’t bother me now.
