what you absolutely have to say about it, you have to give the chair some time. the chair forces you into a healthy sitting position and you don't slouch in it. i noticed that i had some back muscle pain after sitting for 8 hours, but that was only because i didn't sit healthy earlier. after about two weeks it gets better and you can sit pain free for 10-12 hours. so absolutely good the chair

I own this, best chair I have owned hands down. Doesn't even come close to a "gaming chair" you spend 200-500 on. This is in another league. 1500 price tag is big deal. I spend 80% of my time in a chair like this now that i work from home, so it was time I spent the money where it counted. My back pain is 100% gone. I get some neck pain but thats a monitor location issue im working on. If i didn't sit in it 80% of the day, i would have gone with a cheaper model i think, but so far well worth the money.

@bigrgIIb 3 жыл бұрын

Hey, Do you agree with Mike Wat that you cannot sit straight properly on it ? and that there is a lack of support when siting straight ?

@A_Gris 3 жыл бұрын

@@bigrgIIb I just received mine last week, and maybe I'm not sitting up straight enough but even if I sit up as straight as I could imagine myself getting without bending into an uncomfortable position, I can not get an entire arm behind myself like he could, and I do still feel like the back of the chair is making full contact. This is of course going to vary person to person though as the curve itself of the Embody isn't adjustable. I think this is definitely an area where it's going to be subjective, and you may want to look for an authorized dealer near you to see if they have a floor model you could sit in to try the chair. Otherwise you can always order the chair and return it within 30 days if you find it uncomfortable for you. For me personally this is a massive upgrade from my last chair and I'm pretty in love with it. My only other thing to note is I'm not sure if Mike's chair is a particularly bad example, but while the squeaking for deal breaker 2 in this video does exist on all of these chairs due to the upholstery rubbing against the foam support, I find that it is not as loud as demonstrated for mine. This could just be an issue with the audio mixing and the recorded audio of the squeaking being louder than it needs to be, but I find that I don't really notice it unless I'm making very large, exaggerated positional changes. The sound is more or less non-existent in normal operation.

That's the thing about mesh fabric - and that's why I ALWAYS prefer it in any product as possible (chair, shoes, etc) - It's easier to maintain, it doesn't wear off easily, it's very convenient, and if well-taken care of, it's technically immortal. Unlike the fake "premium" leatherette that you always see in any other gaming chair.

Love the video! You hit a lot of great points :). For my two cents, I had the Aeron classic and remastered, the Leap V2, the Ergo Chair 2, a secret lab chair, and presently I am using the Logitech Embody. Long story short, the price is WAAAAY up there, if you really want it, you MIGHT get lucky with a sale in the future where it was brought down to $1,100 (Still a yikes!). I kept this chair because all the other chairs ended up hurting my back - I would get aches throughout the day (I sit 9hours for work and then game and watch videos for another 6 hours everyday). I ended up keeping this chair because my back pains are no more with it! The aeron remastered was great for those who are deciding between the two - but absolutely take advantage of the 30 day return period - the aeron began hurting my back week 2 and by week 3, I just had a ton of aches no matter how I adjusted it. You can also ask for a lower gas cylinder for the aeron if you need that - it lowers the chair 1.75in in case you need a lower chair!

@JasonSFuller 3 жыл бұрын

The Herman Miller Embody chair is a life saver if you have neck, back, and/or tailbone pain. Buy the original if squeaking bothers you. I think it's the padding Logitech added. My original, non-Logitech version doesn't have this padding (just fabric and the stretchy plastic mesh), and it makes no noise. You'd think, "how could no padding/plastic _possibly_ be comfortable?" ...but lemme tell ya, it's fantastic! I'm super picky, and before this chair, everything hurt after sitting in front of a computer 8+ hours a day. Since I've had the Embody, no pain. One thing Mike points out--and this is so true--you shouldn't try to sit perfectly perpendicular. If you want that, you should avoid this chair. It's meant to lean back in, at least a little. I keep the recline depth at 3 (out of the 4 stops it allows). Also, you _really_ need to push your butt/lower back ALL THE WAY BACK so it's touching the back of the seat so it can support you. If I don't, I get crazy burning in my lower back after 30-45 minutes, but that's mostly MY back and poor posture, not the chair's fault. If you do all that, and you're a lean back/sloucher like me, dear God this chair is comfortable. I've been in IT for 20+ years and have tried every fancy, schmancy office chair you can imagine. The Aeron? Pfft! I know some people love it, but I can't stand it. The Aeron seat has a bar just behind the knees, and it HURTS after 1-2 hours, something you might not notice after only sitting for a few minutes in the store. The Embody? It's like sitting on a cloud all day.

However, the kind lady at the Herman Miller reseller (who, BTW, mostly sold commercial office furniture in bulk to businesses, but didn't have a problem selling to individuals) told me that they have "pre-configured" models of popular Embody chairs that they can sale for **much** cheaper. They can usually customize the basic *color* of the fabric and frame, but if you want fancy fabrics, colors you might not find if offices, or other options... well, they're gonna charge you full price of $1500, plus your "upgrades." The base model was Good Enough for me and only cost me ~$950 (including tax). This was 4-5 years ago, but their current pricing on the website looks exactly the same.

Mike, I am currently sitting in my Embody Logitech chair as I am typing this. First thing I want to ask you is did you have any tailbone pain when you sat in this chair? My biggest complaint with this chair is that I am getting tailbone pain from it. I am very very confused on why I am getting such pain when I sat in an Embody in a store and sat for an hour on it talking to the sales rep. I completely forgot that I was sitting on it and it felt amazing to sit in and even sat with one of my legs resting on the opposite knee. No pain at all. The gaming version however, gives me tailbone pain as stated. I am thinking about exchanging this gaming version to a regular Embody, the Aeron, or a Steelcase. Funnily enough, my back pain isn't a problem anymore but the tailbone pain is really confusing me when I sat in the regular Embody. Any thoughts on this?

I like the mirra 2’s back support because you can adjust the height and tension. This allowed for better mid back support which is where most of my pain is at. I also prefer the stiffer feel of the chair because it feels like it keeps my posture correct.

Sitting at about 110° is healthier for the spinal cord, especially to reduce pressure on its discs, than sighting at a 90° angle. There's research that supports this that's already more than five decades old. You can look it up and confirm this, of course. And it's recommended that you use a slightly tilted footrest with such a sitting posture. I hasten to add that this does NOT mean that if you have a wooden chair with a back that's fixed at a 90° angle, then you should slide forward to recline; this would be worse than sitting at a 90° angle. And slouching forward is much worse than sitting at a 90° angle.

I’m pretty sure sitting completely up straight 90, like the guy demonstrated is not great posture, hence HM going for the natural S shape.

I think you just saved me a lot of agro, as that back support gap would have been an issue for me :)

What software setup are you using for your videos and casting? e: your dealbreaker 1 isn't really a deal breaker considering the chair design. The chair is supposed to hug you in that way and you aren't supposed to want to sit up perfectly straight. Also, I've heard mixed thoughts on the noises. I've heard the non-Logitech version has decreased noises and it depends on the fabric.

OMG you are the first person that does a review on any chair that I have seen, that actually wants to sit straight in a chair and not dump themselves in there like a bag of dirt. I thought I was going crazy finding all these highend chair uncomfortable.

Why do you have your desk so high up? I couldn't game like that. Gotta have the desk low to help blood circulation to the hands and they get less fatigued.

@LouisChiaki 3 жыл бұрын

Agree! Missing the ability to seat upright is really a big mistake! The regular Embody seat is also not very comfortable to me. I ended up return it... I really like the back support in the recline position though.

I bought my Embody 1 week ago and I hear nothing, no squeaking. The model was updated a while ago Also the seat is very very comfortable, it’s not soft, nor is it hard, I really love it . The backrest is something I still need to get used to. I vary the position every day and I have the feeling my back is slowing adjusting to it. I can work upright and it’s nice, but there’s the gap you mentioned on middle part of the back. But still it works fine, but after a while I use another setting :-) I‘ve gone through all chairs before buying this one. The Aeron is a no because it doesn’t allow freedom of movement. The leap and gesture are more like foam chairs that might be comfortable, but I like that woven plastic concept, it just feels right. Also Steelcase doesn’t offer 12 years of warranty. But maybe I just buy the other chairs as well, so I have one for gaming, one for working and one for the balcony😂

Would you say that the original embody is better than this version, as you spoke about them targeting this model towards gamers sitting in a "learned forward" position.
