what's mind blowing is the instruction manual doesn't even mention this.

yeah indeed, I have a requirement for head..rest too :D, joke aside great review !

Is there a way to lean this chair back and lock it back so it stays in position you leaned it in?

everything my back Dr tells me is that headrests on office chairs arent a good idea.. but it does look cooler

wow. that was unintuitive on the aeron's part. i did it with the valuable help of your vid after some blind tinkering, but i'm STILL not sure exactly how

You can remove the armrests btw check their disassembly manual

Love the warmth of this mic you’re using!

good news everyone, atlas has a new headrest for embody lol

I believe that, deep down, most people choose the Embody chair because of its attractive design. If we removed that differential appeal, no one would choose it because it is less adjustable, makes noise, has more plastic, and generally, everyone perceives it as of lower quality. However, the mind needs to justify something illogical because, in reality, the purpose of an office chair should be quality and comfort before an attractive design. In the end, humans end up making more emotional than logical decisions.

Received mine, badly designed. The bottom part of the back of the chair hits the headrest support. It limits the chair movements when you lay back in it and will break. Show it with videos to Atlas and they will answer that it is normal... Buy it if you want, but know that it will limit and file the plastic...

6:30 Agree with you 100 percent. Just b/c you have a chair you can now sit "comfortably" in your POSTURE IS STILL OUT OF WACK, YOU DEFINITELY NEED THE HEADREST IN ORDER TO "BUILD YOUR POSTURE" BACK TO "NORMAL".

THANK YOU, YOU LITERALLY "SAVED MY BACK" WITH YOUR VIDEOS ABOUT THIS CHAIR. I'm 6 foot 4.5 inches tall. I always face the problem 1) Do I sit up Straight and make my legs hurt b/c they are not aligned or 2) do I "slouch" to take pressure of my legs to put EVEN MORE PRESSURE ON MY MID BACK/SPINE. *Either option IS NOT FUN NOR COMFORTABLE*. With the Embody + Atlas I can say with 100 percent confidence, THIS IS THE BEST MY POSTURE HAS EVER BEEN IN MY 40 YEARS ALIVE!

PSA FOR TALL PEOPLE: I'm 6 foot 4 inches tall (4.5 inches to be technical). So my Torso and Legs are both "longer than the average Human. OUT OF ALL THE HERMAN MILLERS THE EMBODY FITS ME BEST. WHY? I have a bad back and the Embody literally HAS THE BEST BACK SUPPORT, once you learn how to adjust it and get used to it. I don't find a Headrest needed if you are spending less than 5ish hours a day in the chair, if you are spending more and are 6'4" or taller, IMO the headrest is MANDATORY to complete the chair.

I just found your channel, and well, let me say.. You make fantastic content. It won't be long until you have thousands of subscribers waiting to hear your thoughts! Keep it up sir, you're providing impeccable value to all that watch your videos!

thx alot

I have had an embody for a good year now and am trying the aeron as the embody is really aggravating my lower back and I feel it’s adding to my si joint pain. It’s also giving me bum pain after a while as the seat isn’t very plump and that’s with some extra foam I put in. This is the Logitech gaming edition. I have ordered a size c aeron remaster and am 182cm and 80kg hoping it will be ok

I just did this 2 days ago with the help of this video and the original post on an online forum. My 2019 Embody now feels so soft and so comfortable. NOW it feels like a premium chair. I used 1x23x23 high density cooling memory foam. I cut very little around the edges and along the sides. Getting into place was extremely easy and took only seconds.

Great video mate, really interested in getting this, but I'm just wondering about the embody in general, did you ever / do you still feel the plastic in the lower back? I've only sat in the chair for about 5 days total so far and I've seen some people say it goes away / get used to it?

I've had mine for almost a week. Really loving it, but I think I'll probably go ahead and add the layer of memory foam to the seat pan. Thanks for the suggestion.

So funny, I literally just watched your embody review which you uploaded 1 year ago and now you've released this! How convenient for me :D thank you for making this.

I got two embody chairs. The one in my office has the atlas headrest that I had preordered. Today I decided to order one for my second chair as well that I use at home, because it is fantastic.

embody seat is unbareable for me lol. mine must have been broken or no padding because it was literally harder then hard wood. coming from a secretlabs chair which arent known for being soft. it made the embody logitech look like a freaking brick LOL!!

I have the gaming embody, no headrest yet, but maybe I'll get it someday. The Embody is obviously a very nice chair although I do kinda wish the padding was a but thicker.

solid waiting for my embody gona order it the head rest right away after seeing this thanks for the info my freind :)

YESSSIR. LETS GOOOO

Awesome unbiased video…. Music @7:12 is a little distracting

So did you get the Atlas Headrest for the Embody? 😀

So, you disappeared after your last review/update? What happened with your headrest use...or did you get it?

spending months agonising about what chair to buy is more absurd than the price of the chair. could’ve made money with that amount of time that would’ve paid for the chair many times over lol

Does the embody round your shoulders forward? The top part of the backrest is concave...is this intentional?

3:14 Make the tutorial how to add custom foam... Plz..

i went to the store and one of the associates told me about this. i tried the chair out and i loved it. this will be my next purchase in galaxy white.

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.

How do you add foam to a chair? Did you have to cut into the cloth?

Question. What headrest do you have ?

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 😉

try the atlas headrest

My issue isn't with the seat which is comfy, but the back, my god there is no padding at all between the seams on this Logitech Embody. My lumbar is killing me from resting just directly against the hard plastic with what is seems like a 0.001MM thick bit of fabric to cover the plastic. When I change the support (which is stupid in itself as it disappears from one section to move to another so one part is always lacking support) it just moves the problem up or down depending where you have set it to. Oh and the arm rests suck, they are so far forward, cannot get in close enough to my desk, let alone get my elbows 90 degrees with my shoulders which makes your shoulders then protracted rather than retracted causing strain on your shoulders and neck. It seriously feels like two different people built different parts of this chair, one genius and the other was on drugs with no clue.

Have u gotten the Atlas headset yet and how has that affected opinion of the chair?

Super curious to finally try this one out. So far the best chair I’ve sat in - by a very long shot - is the Jori JR-3380, but it’s almost 4000 bucks and also too low to be useful as desk chair.

Useful video thanks :)

I got the gaming embody on sale for Black Friday. Literally last week. First day ass is on fire now that feels fine. Now I’m having tail bone pain and lower back pain. Maybe my problem is i would sit through a few gaming sessions back to back to back without getting up. That maybe my problem.

Where is your headrest bro

Dont you break the side attachments? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nKmeY7Whr6_Ke6c.htmlsi=C7xplJypDw_2btv4&t=110

I tried the chair at a shop and found it super underwhelming. I wonder if it’s one of those things that you realize is beneficial over time? It’s hard for me to separate the hype from the genuine review.

Pull them all the way in, press your body against it, then slowly move outwards, counting the clicks. Easy peasy.

I owe God for my Leap. I know it sounds silly, but when your back is giving out, its a miracle to find an answer for it. Yes I did pray, it was that bad. LOL.

what foam did you get?

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