Herman Miller Embody review

This user has owned the chair for just over a year and uses it for software development work, typically sitting 10-12 hours per day. They report that the chair has been transformative for their chronic neck and shoulder tension, which they attribute to the chair's design encouraging better posture. They mention that the adjustment period was about two weeks where the chair felt unusual, but after that they experienced significant relief from their previous pain. The reviewer notes that they are 6'2" and around 200 lbs, and the chair fits them well. They consider it expensive but worth every penny for the health improvements.

Pros

  • Relieved chronic neck and shoulder tension
  • Encourages better posture
  • Good fit for taller/heavier users
  • Comfortable for 10-12 hour sessions

Cons

  • Expensive
  • Two week adjustment period
