No way lucky 😮

Whats your opinion on it? I would like to know

Getting good chairs for your employees to sit in as they literally make you money is the ABSOLUTE least you could do as a boss. At least your boss got you a REALLY nice one.

That’s epic! I’ve been at my job for 3 years and I’ve had to scrounge all my desk stuff. I also have to buy my own tools and apparently datacom stuff is expensive. I’ve only just now convinced them to buy me a magnetic tray to hold screws. Even the new employees get new chairs. How’ve you liked the Embody?

⁠​⁠​⁠@@DenyTheZeitgeistDude, I feel you on the employer struggles (and I’m jealous of the comment thread OP for getting bought an Embody from what sounds like a great employer)! I work at a charity, which at least gives them some excuse for being stingy on providing equipment and such for employees… but only a little! I’ve been at my job for 9 years (which is actually horrifying to me on several levels, and more than double the length of time I’ve ever been at a job! It was great for some of that time at least, if not now 😝) and my PC is literally 10 years old, with a 4th gen Intel processor! I mean, I had a 10th gen in the MacBook Pro I bought in 2020, which I’ve already upgraded to an Apple Silicon M1 Pro MBP and which absolutely smokes the work PC, to the point where it’s not even a fair fight! 😂 I at least upgraded the work PC RAM to 16GB *many* years ago and added an SSD, but lets be honest - it’s still a POS! I had the option of getting a clunky mid-range Dell Latitude laptop to replace the old desktop… but since I’ve WFH for 4 years and just remote in to the office PC (and I work in IT, so I do often need to be actually inside the work network to access a bunch of stuff), there’s no way I want to faff around with having a second laptop at home and it being so screamingly mediocre in comparison to my own, so I’ve resisted so far… I’ve got totally sidetracked ranting about my computers instead of the actual point of this video and comment, gah! But the chair situation goes along very similar lines… My company has a selection of largely bog-standard ergonomic chairs from a company called Posturite (.co.uk), and for the first few years mine was lousy and giving me low-level (but increasing) back (and hip and knee) pain. When the head of dept retired, I managed to snag his chair - still from the same company, but much higher backed and with proper additional customisable lumbar support (as well as a wider and deeper seat pan… though the retiree had a much slighter build than me, so many adjustments were needed!), and it was a revelation! The chair was at least 10 years old though, and creaky and semi-broken in a few not-so-key ways, but it was amazing to have dramatically reduced back pain from that chair 🎉 Flash forward to 2020, and suddenly the no-name brand ancient hand-me-down Freecycled office chair I had at home was absolutely no good for all day every day, and that rapidly increased the urgency of my “find the perfect chair” vision quest 😂 And I didn’t want to get that big black plastic hulking monstrosity of a semi-broken chair brought home to use in my fairly small apartment, and wanted something a bit sleeker that didn’t stick out like a sore thumb. I ended up getting a refurbished Humanscale Freedom (with headrest… which it turns out I hate! I either have my hair in a bun or ponytail and it’s just never compatible with that so is always uncomfortable), after previously trying it in a shop and not liking it, then trying out a friend’s over a long weekend and finding it a lot nicer… but tbh I haven’t ever loved sitting in it, and I feel like it’s now the cause of my current back pain and it’s well past time to change things up. Also, the gas lift has been broken for a year+, and I’ve lacked the confidence and tools to change it myself at home 😬 and while the lowest height is *ok* for me, especially as I now have a standing desk that I can lower down a bit, it would definitely be better to go up a little bit as I’m 5’8”! To top it all off, the armrests are totally ruined - initially I think because I often tended to sit with my chin resting on one hand and my elbow on the arm rest (and that was the side with the initial damage) while I moused with the other hand… but I also got two kittens in summer 2022, who have destroyed everything 😹 They both decided the back of the chair was actually a cat-tree in disguise, so have made the whole thing very obnoxiously creaky with their repeated jumping up and hanging out up there on the headrest (especially as they’re now 6kg and 10kg - Maine Coons, not huge chonks! 😹)… the armrests they’ve contributed to thoroughly destroying are at least user-replaceable, but I haven’t committed to actually buying any yet because I feel like my heart isn’t really in this chair… and the armrest replacement definitely won’t help with my back! My flat also gets very hot and I hate being hot and sweaty, so I’ve been looking at mesh options… I’ve sat in a friend’s Aeron and don’t think it’s for me, especially as a fidgeter who likes to sometimes sit cross legged or with one leg tucked up under me, so the edge of the seat pan seems like a super uncomfortable obstacle. Not that they’re mesh, but over the years I’ve also been interested in the Steelcase Leap 2 and Gesture, but haven’t been able to try them out… plus any second- hand option to buy them in the UK has very limited colourways, and since it’s for my home in an open-plan room I really don’t want the basic black. The Haworth Zody has also been way up there on my shortlist, especially in the white frame and green balsam mesh/seat colourway… but apparently in the UK we’re not allowed nice things like green and white ergo chairs 😭 The Steelcase Karman (in the peacock colourway… I’m fully in to the green-or-teal and white aesthetic now!) has been calling to me… but I fear the back wouldn’t come up high enough for me, and that the lumbar support wouldn’t be enough either… plus I don’t think I can get that colourway here either! The definite advantage of the Embody for me is being able to get it, in the UK, in the new gaming-variant galaxy colourway (green and white, baby!), without it needing to be a non-returnable custom order… I’m leaning towards just pressing the button and getting one for at least the 14 day period where I can return it for free, and I’ll either love it and keep it (and probably rue the charge on my credit card!), or send it back without a big drama (and then go back to the drawing board)! This comment has basically been a form of therapy, and I think I’m leaning towards the maybe-trial-ish purchase of an Embody now… but I’ve been searching for the “perfect” chair for many years now, so who knows if I’ll stick with that plan 😂 (on the offchance anyone has a comparison between a Haworth Zody or Sofi [or the Humanscale Freedom!] and the Embody, I’m here for it 😊

Lol for sure!!

My corporate code doesn't allow discounts on the gaming one. :/

I hate you so much….I WANT A SCRIM LAYERRRR!!! Haha

Can you explain why you think the regular version with scrim is better than the gaming version? Im trying to decide which one to buy.

​@@Erikzzon Gaming embody has a foam lower in the back that does not extend all the way along the back. To me it felt awkward and felt like it was trying to push my upper back forward into a 'gamerneck' posture. To me this is an absolute no-go. Seat is comparable to the regular embody with scrim. From what I remember there wasn't a massive difference although the regular version felt like it compressed less than the gaming version, making it slightly more comfortable. But this might just be placebo due to my disliking the partial foam strip in the back the gaming version has. Extra cooling or whatever the gaming version was supposed to have because of the copper flecks made 0 difference. Either way I'd suggest trying some other chairs aswell and not blind buying; because of my build(athletic) even the regular embody felt like it was trying to curve both of my shoulders forward. Had to fight the chair(push back with my shoulders) for a couple months at least before this let up. Been using the chair for almost 2 years now. It has been worth the money I spent on it to me but it's not without faults. I still think the armrests are subpar for the price HM asks for the chair.

I am so happy that I found this channel and your comment ! 🙌🏼 I am also 6.3“ and been dying to find people with my height who got that chair and can give some information on it. Do you have the atlas headrest for it ? I want to buy this chair and I will use it for home office usage / gaming usually around 6-8 hours sessions and also reclining and watching KZfaq / movies eventually. Could you please give me some information on your usage of the chair and if I can complete my wished tasks comfortably ? I am not sure if I need the headrest but I guess for reclining I would have too right ? Thank you in advance !

You can do it!

how do you feel about the seat cushion?

How much did you end up paying?

@@vloneseraph kinda late to reply, but great. I used to have some tailbone pain (which was originally caused by bad posture) from my old gaming chair, but ever since I’ve switched to the Embody it has been great. It’s not like a memory foam cushion, since it’s based on their weird spring design, so it’s a bit hard, but once you get used to it, it feels great.

@@juan2049 I think it was at around 1700€ for the original pricing in their gaming page (we don’t have their regular stores in my country, so I had to stick with that), but I got it in their spring sale (-20% I think) and the final price was 1378€.

@@inadover thank you. I got a quote for a new one (non-gaming) from my local dealer and they said it’s $1300. So sounds like it’s a decent deal then

Make sure to subscribe and follow me on socials. You'll see updates! Just gave one out here on my community tab

I tried upping it to 2x a week and do a "tech tuesday", but honestly, the editing kills me (time and energy wise) and my studio isn't big enough to have "dedicated" spaces for various reviews (setting up takes half a day). I have a family, so hiring an editor is a big risk. I'm trying to open up more revenue streams so I can reduce the risk in hiring an editor, so fingers crossed!!

@@Ahnestly Understandable. I've also edited a few things and I know the effort behind it. I just checked out your Instagram, haven't followed until now. I didn't expect you to have a family because you look extremely young.

Thank you!!!

My left armrest always pops away from me. I hate that it can't lock in place for when I need to shift and lean on it. It's the only think I consider a problem with this chair, which is otherwise suited to my height.

@@RecklessFables I can see that potentially being an issue yeah. I guess I’m lucky because I always have mine on the widest setting. They haven’t moved on me once

Still different! While the seat may have more cushion, the lumbar still feels a little different and the type of cushion inside the gaming vs non gaming is slightly different

10000% embody. I don’t recommend the neue as strongly anymore as I reviewed mesh chairs a fraction of the price with the same quality mesh (pretty loose, not great for people over 150lbs). Also, you’re getting a fantastic warranty. Embody is my favorite chair of all time! In terms of which embody, people are split. My wife likes the gaming better, I like non gaming a bit better, but also find the gaming very comfortable. If you decide to pick up, please consider using my links! If you go non gaming, you can also use code “cyber5” to get an extra 5% off (expires 11/29)!

I think I just answered your other Q lol. I still think the gaming will be softer still, since the scrim sits underneath both I believe. But the gaming fabric has the "copper infused gel" inside the fabric as well as that scrim layer.

Hey! I mentioned the extra padding in the video - I haven't been able to sit on a more recent Embody (mine was mfred in Dec of 2020!! SO CLOSE!) but I can say the gaming Embody does feel noticeably more cushy, but I can sit in either all day!

Fingers crossed next month!

Nope, HM doesn't operate like that :-( also, HM EU doesn't even offer an affiliate program as far as I know!

You should sit however makes you feel comfortable! My seat does have about 2-3 inches away from the back of my knee!

@@Ahnestly true, after all the important part is keeping your back straight and not slouching. Will try intensively during the weekend, i still have 1 week to keep it or not. The absurd part is i wouldn't know how to replace it

Direct experience? Unfortunately not. But Sync is most commonly used today whereas rhythm is an older fabric. If you’re interested in a headrest, I recommend you check out my headrest videos for what colors/fabrics will be available so you get an exact match for your chair!

1. it does make noise, but not bc the seat is "moving". It's flexing based on my weight distribution 2. I think the ideal "space" should be 1-2 inches behind your knee! So should be pretty spacious!

I got the non gaming embody and noticed a similar thing- I normally bounce my knee from time to time but I’ve stopped because it makes a noise as my knee moves up and down. I have an old aeron at work and it’s dead silent when I bounce my knee. Kinda weird considering the work chair is probably 10 yrs older than the embody I got at least. But the embody is definitely more comfortable so it’s a give and take. Also when I went to the HM store they said to use 2-3 fingers to measure how far the seat pan should be from your knees. I’m 6’ as well and was surprised the seatpan didn’t extend as far as I thought it would but it works fine for me personally.

I've reached out, but they've never contacted me back!

No it really shouldn’t. The padding isn’t that much thicker! Please consider using my link if you pick up- helps the channel a LOT!

Watch one of my recent videos - chair buying guide for 2022

There def can be a break in period! Just know that some chairs work for people and some don’t! So if after a few days you find it’s not your cup of tea, return it! That’s the benefit of going with a great customer service brand - easy and free returns!

@@Ahnestly Thanks :D Is there also suppose to be a slight wobble to the arm rests? (i.e., the arm rests don't wobble when my elbows are on them, but can wobble left/right, up/down if I apply some intentional force)

Nope! I don’t wear shoes in the house and I’m usually in a cooler area so no sweat! I also am very careful if I ever eat in the chair!

@@Ahnestly if you could make a cleaning guide, I think that'd be a dope video. I'm trying to dig up resources and videos but there's not much real guides on it.

Sorry sorry the headrest is around $200. That was a flub in editing (I copy and paste assets between videos to save time and that was the price of a chair I was reviewing lol)

Yeah that's what a friend of mine told me. Not sure what happened this iteration...I'll make sure it's better next time! As for the Karman, I think they might be willing to give one to me, but we'll see! I believe the Karman may actually be a competitor with the Cosm though. I don't think it has any controls!

Yes it is. All chairs have that slight movement when locked upright. The embody feels like it moves more bc of how the back flexes. If you don’t like that, recommend unlocking the back tilt and tightening the back tilt tension a lot

Check out my video on "Which HM Gaming chair should you buy"? I detail the differences between the gaming vs non gaming embodys (although I discovered a handful of things more later, which I discussed in this video)
