I was bored during my quarantine in Bangkok, Thailand, and decided to review the computer chair in my hotel room (Herman Miller Sayl). It just happens to be the same brand as the chair I have at home back in Dallas (the Herman Miller Embody). I was actually surprised at the comfort and quality of this char at almost the 1/3 of the cost of the Embody.
This review was after about 80 or so butt-in-seat hours.
Hope you guys enjoy it :)

Great review I've been sitting in a foldable chair for about entire semester of online school and it did me fine, but there were times were my back is just tired. I'll probably get a good chair in the future. When I went to a doctor's appointment afew months back they had one of these type of chairs, and man!, Those chairs were comfortable. Anyways, Great review man!

Really enjoyed the review! Trying to decide what chair to upgrade to between this one and the Embody - the price difference between the two is a big factor. What would you say the biggest advantages are from the Embody compared to the Sayl? Ultimately, would you buy the Embody over the Sayl again? Thanks! (I'm gonna be spending so much time on my chair in the next few years, I'm doing my research before replacing my $20 steed that's served me well)

The Embody is more flexible in terms of adjustability, and I feel like it provides more back support than the Sayl. If you are going to be spending a lot of time in the chair, I'd go with the Embody, but you should try both of them before purchasing though.

The Gaming Sayl in my country has the Medley fabric instead of the Sync fabric, is it still worth getting over the regular Sayl? The regular Sayl uses the Cosmos fabric. The price difference between the two is about 37usd. Both don't come with the adjustable lumbar support.

You actually can adjust the armrest, its an additional add on feature though. It won't move the whole armrest like Embody does, but will move the upper flat to the sides and forward/backwards. $60 for only height adjustable armrest and $70 for fully adjustable armrest (including forward and backwards). The seat depth adjustability is also something you have to add for $70 as an upgrade as it not come in default.

I thought about making one, but decided against it at the end. There are quite a few good videos on that already, you should check them out. For me, my quarantine was actually nice. I opted to pay a little more for a bigger suite at a good hotel, so I didn't feel like I was confined to a room. Let me know if you have any specific questions, I'd be glad to answer them. My advice is check the reviews of the ASQ hotel and plan at least a month in advance as they tend to be booked up.

Still debating between just coughing up the extra cash for the embdoy or going with the Sayl. I imagine the Embody would provide some more back comfort.

@MrExitStrategy 3 жыл бұрын
It does, I personally like the Embody better, but the Sayl is definitely not a bad choice. I'll say that the back feels cooler with the Sayl.

I find the upright position is not upright enough at all. 5:12 when you go back to the stop your back is ~15 degrees from vertical. The neck/upper thoracic spine has to curve forward encouraging slouching or forward neck position -> honestly no idea why they designed it like this, we have these at my work and hate them, I end up having to sit straight with no support and lean back to rest every so often Cushion firmness and lumbar support is good though just this obvious design flaw

@@Glloo481 my housemate has a Secretlab gaming chair (the Titan one I think) which has really good adjustability. The seat cushion and backrest is quite firm though Tbh I've got used to my Hermam Miller chair now, I think when I wrote my original comment I wasn't sitting properly in it, you have to really push your lower back and glutes into the back of the seat before resting back. Also I didn't have the seat depth adjusted right

How is the seat cushion on this chair in terms of firmness/softness? Also how is the armspace? Like can you sit in it comfortable without using the armrest when you dont feel like using them?
@MrExitStrategy
@MrExitStrategy 3 жыл бұрын
Based on the 15 days I used the chair (while I was in a quarantine hotel), the seat cushion was very nice and supportive, not too soft and not too firm. While the arm space could be a slightly tight, I could still definitely sit comfortably without my arms touching the armrests too often. Hope this helps.

At first when I was looking at this chair I felt what a weird looking chair. Why is it made of plastic? But then I sat on in for several days. Now I know why it is so expensive. I was so naive to think that the Ikea Markus is expensive. Until I tried to Google if anyone else has the back pain problems like I did with the Markus. Boy oh boy the word "budget" is being used to describe it everywhere.

Haha, I thought the same but with the Jarvfjallet. I thought it looked so cool and was comfy enough testing it out at IKEA and also thought it was expensive at $279, until I found out more about Herman Miller, Steelcase and the likes. It is worth it to me for that crazy amount of money though.

No it isn't. Think about what you're actually investing in. You're investing in the health of your back for a product that will last at least a decade. People will happily pay 3k for a TV that looks slightly better than their previous, but when faced with something that actually provides serious improvement to your posture and overall back health people will go "wtf??? 500 for a CHAIR?? I can just sit on a stool for $10" If you're sitting down for extended periods every single day, a quality chair with good back support is very important in the long run.

Herman miller is a expensive brand yes. But... The health of your back is not worth the money? If you spend 90% of the time sitting for work I would highly recommend ergonomic chairs for healthy reasons.

People pay $500-$1,000 for a phone they change every 2-3 years. Pretty sure a $2,000 chair that will last at MININUM 12 years and serves to keep your health in place is very much worth it.
