Not sure of authenticity of this chair because it has no markings other than two generic tags, but I got one of these for a good deal and it’s super comfy. I also found extremely similar looking ones on the internet that were sold last year (pretty sure my chair is one of these in the lot pics) but idk much about these. Any thoughts or help?
I work in tech, full-time in the office, easily 8+ hours a day at a desk. Previously had Secret Lab during covid and was getting nagging lower back pain that would build through the day
Bit the bullet on an Aeron
Back pain is gone, not better but gone. Took about a week to fully settle in.
I move around less. I'm just not constantly shifting and repositioning to find a comfortable angle. I sit down and stop thinking about the chair.
Mesh is a game changer, No hot body anymore
The price is alot but I had it during the 25% off the other week but tbh it's worth it!
I’ve been working with Gemini AI to come up with a combination of side table and lamp that complements the Eames lounge chair.
The side table here is a CB2 model, in black marble and natural steel. The table measures 18 x 18” and 15 inches tall.
The lamp is rechargeable, with a polished nickel base and an alabaster shade. The lamp is 12 inches tall, which is a bit smaller than I would normally go for.
But I think it kind of works? We want the chairs to be the main focus of the room. There will be two chairs with a table and lamp for each on the left and right sides, respectively.
In the second image, AI obviously got the proportions wrong. Either the table is far too small or the lamp is much too big.
Found this on marketplace and am interested but don’t know how to tell if it’s authentic. Anyone know?
Good day,
I’d kindly like to ask for your help: What color is this Herman Miller Aeron? I’m not sure myself. Thanks for your opinions.
I'm from Germany and was planning to buy the Logitech version of the Embody. Unfortunately, it costs €1,986, which is a lot of money. I could get the standard Embody for €1,200 at a local store. Are the differences significant? The store told me that it also has the same additional foam layer as the Gaming Embody, but just doesn't have that cooling foam. Does anyone have any experience with this?
And does anyone know when Herman Miller will have another sale, since I need a chair relatively soon?
Thanks in advance
Found this on my local fbm listings but wanted to confirm that they're legit before I buy the bullet. Not too well versed in HM yet. Thx.
Hey everyone,
I just got a brand new Logitech Herman Miller Embody, and I noticed that the backrest is never 100% stiff or locked in place.
Even when I crank the tilt tension to the absolute maximum (or engage the tilt limiter to the highest position) and lean forward, the moment I lean back, the backrest still moves/gives way about 1-2 cm before it fully stops. It feels like a small initial "give" or "flex" rather than being completely rigid like a standard office chair.
Is this intentional dynamic movement designed into the Embody, or should the backrest be completely rock solid when tension is maxed out?
Just want to make sure my mechanism is working as intended. Thanks!
Hi
I’ve owned the embody for two years now BUT I have hardly even used it due to a severe leg injury that required surgery, I wasnt able to sit at my desk
Now - I’m ready to begin but, I can’t help but notice this little square in the lumbar area that I can’t seem to get rid of. It’s a constant distraction.
Does this feeling pass as my usage increases??
Hi, I need a new office chair and like the look of the Aeron - the all black color and the black with polished chrome gaming chairs look great, but cost more. So what else is different with the gaming chairs?
Started having fairly bad back pain after sitting at a desk working around 12 to 14 hours a day (yes I know thats not good but not the point of my post). Decided I would try investing in a much better chair to see if that might help and settled on the embody chair.
It’s hard to tell as I’m still having some pain but the pain seems to happen later in the day and the pain becomes more manageable even when present, but I haven’t had a moment yet where I feel this chair is consistently comfortable. Will this situation continue to get better or should I consider the Aeron while I’m still in the return window? Curious if those who used the embody felt instant comfort / improvement. I am a tall individual and slightly overweight.
I just also recently realized I wasn’t likely sitting in the embody properly as I wasn’t sitting all the way back. So I’m trying that now but it’s not a magic panacea either. I definitely feel like I’m getting much more support in this chair than my prior chair but I struggle to know if I’ve truly configured it properly and if perhaps my issues are just a debt history of inadequate support and whether this gets better as the chair enforces a better posture and my body adapts.
Thoughts?
I'm shopping for an Embody and am debating between a regular vs gaming. One of the factors for me is the color scheme, I like all-black better. I found an all-black version of it on Modern Planet (well, mostly, it has white wheels but I can swap those later I'm sure), but the thing is that this color config is ONLY available via Modern Planet, it's not offered on the official Herman Miller site so that's confusing.
So my question is: is this a current model, or is it potentially an older version they don't sell any more? (I know they've made minor updates to both models of the Embody over the past couple years). I'm not a huge fan of the colors (like black/cyan) but I'd rather not buy the all-black being offered and then find it's older stock or whatever.
Anyone know? Thanks...
So 3ish years ago I was looking to upgrade a cruddy dxracer and had an embody and gesture for testing and kept the gesture as it made a good first impression. The embody was difficult to get comfortable, but fast forward to today I decided to give it a whirl again and really try to figure out how to get this chair adjusted to be comfortable.
The initial week I was getting some lower back ache due to the strong sacral support which the gesture lacks, going into week two that issue is mostly subsided.
The best part of the chair is definitely its recline and rocking motion, you feel really planted in the chair when sitting in it properly. Going back to the gesture it feels like im falling off it lol
Unfortunately I think that is where the Embodys strengths end for me. The embody really needs you to sit properly in it but regardless of chair sitting for 30-60+ minutes in the same position will inevitably result in some soreness somewhere. Moving around and changing positions in the embody is not great, it really punishes you for sitting wrong compared to the gesture that really doesn't care how you sit in it.
I simply cannot sit long term in the proper posture position where legs are close together with feet on the floor. I like wide spread sitting as well as one tucked leg sitting where I would alternate between legs. I also like to sit at an awkward angle where I'll twist my back a bit and lean into the backrest and also alternate sides effectively stretching my back out a bit and keeping me from getting sore sitting in one position the entire time.
Where the embody fails for that sitting style is the extremely wide seat pan especially the handles at the front will dig into the back of my knees, similarly when tucking a leg your foot ends up resting exactly in that handle area which is very hard lacking cushion due to the chairs design. Leaning into the backrest with the side of your torso is also not as comfortable as the gesture that has a large and compliant backrest meanwhile the embody has a thinner backrest where the center is less padded as its designed to fit into the curve of the spine. When sitting right thats great, when pushing the side of your body into it not so great lol.
Speaking of the back rest I always find myself squirming trying to align myself with the center of the backrest perfectly as being off center is not comfortable for obvious reasons. Lastly my thighs fairly quickly start to get sore from poor circulation with how much support the embody provides that area. I never thought the slight forward tilt mattered on the gesture but it definitely helps thigh comfort.
I think the embody is a cool chair but its definitely not for everyone, the backrest when centered is very comfy and the tilt is very nice but i find the seat falls short the most. The gesture seat sucks too once it bottoms out but I solved that with a gel top.
Hopefully anyone looking at these two chairs finds my impressions useful when comparing how they like to sit in their chairs.
Hi everyone,
I just ordered a Herman Miller x Logitech Embody Gaming Chair and will be picking it up in Sweden, then driving it back to Norway.
Does anyone know if the chair will fit in a Tesla Model 3 without the box?
I have previously managed to fit a Herman Miller Aeron in the Model 3 by folding down the rear seats and loading it through one of the rear doors, but I’m not sure if the Embody Gaming is more difficult because of the back shape/overall size.
I’m mainly wondering whether anyone has actually transported one in a Tesla Model 3.
Any tips on loading angle, seat position, or whether anything needs to be removed would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Years ago everyone said buy from an authorized dealer (Had a quote for $1200 shipped in 2021 that I should have just bite the bullet and went with..)
November last year they had a sale with free shipping that got it down to $1400 shipped (also was about bite the bullet but again backed out...)
Finally got to try one in person and fell in love, but even with the current 25% off sale, after shipping and taxes it comes out to $1915... Are there still any authorized dealers around to order from or is this the best deal I'll find until around November?
I managed to pick up a used Herman Miller Sayl for just $240 (converted from 38 000 yen). Even though it's not the fully loaded version, but at least it does have height-adjustable armrests, and I can even move the seat cushion in and out-which is actually an upgraded feature! The seat cushion is a little bit dirty and has some minor damage, but I ordered a cover specifically made for this chair. (The seller bought the chair 5 years ago) I'm curious to see how it holds up over the long term, as this is my first high-end chair.
