"This was my first time sitting in a high-end chair, and it felt really comfortable — honestly great. I used to get back pain all over from sitting at my desk all day for work, but high-end really is high-end. Highly recommend."

Good fit for my sizeSturdy and stableComfortable backrestImproved posture

I'm 188 cm (6'2"), and after trying quite a few premium chairs, the Herman Miller Embody Gaming has become my favorite. What surprised me the most is how cool and breathable it feels. I expected it to get warm because it doesn't use a full mesh design like the Aeron, but in daily use it's much cooler than I expected and remains comfortable even during long work sessions. The lumbar support is outstanding. It supports my lower back naturally without feeling too aggressive or intrusive. It encourages good posture while still allowing me to relax, which has made a noticeable difference during long hours at my desk. Another thing I really appreciate is the freedom of movement. The backrest moves naturally with my body, and when I lean or shift from side to side, it follows my movements instead of restricting them. That flexibility makes the chair feel incredibly dynamic and comfortable throughout the day. Is it expensive? Absolutely. But considering how many hours I spend sitting every day, I see it as an investment rather than an expense. I fully expect to use this chair for 10 years or more, and I have no regrets about the purchase. For me, it's one of the best investments I've made for both my work and my health.

Cushioned seatComfortable backrestBuild qualityDesign and looksValue for moneyBrand reputation

I think Kokuyo Ing cloud is the most comfortable chair in the world as of now. It's cushion seat is on the another level of chairs around the world. As a heavy man, sometimes I felt stress on my thigh and groin, but this chair never make me feel that pain. Also, I feel dynamic even when I am sitting on and it gives me total different way of feeling. By sitting dynamically rather than static, I am actually focusing more on my works that I never expected from other chairs. I fully understand why it won the best of the best in Reddot award. It is more expensive than most of office chair but definitely worth it!

Overall detailed adjustments are excellent and fit the body perfectly. Headrest and armrest control and comfort are irreplaceable. Wish the lumbar support went down a bit more, but it's not uncomfortable at all so not a big issue

Comfortable and I like that it supports my back. Additionally, I think the Leap Chair recommended by the store is tied for first place for similar reasons.

Using a somewhat high desk, it provided good posture and back comfort

Design is bulky but functionally simple with comfortable seating
