Herman Miller Embody review

One commenter who appears to have experience with multiple chairs found that the Embody's backrest doesn't support them as much as the Haworth Fern's does, but that doesn't necessarily mean the Embody's backrest is worse - it's just different. They think the backrest on the Fern bugs them more with its support level. Overall, they concluded the Embody wins because of the superior seat design and overall comfort, despite the Fern having some advantages in backrest support.

Pros

  • Superior seat design
  • Better overall comfort than competitors
  • Backrest quality is good even if less supportive than Fern

Cons

  • Backrest doesn't support as much as Haworth Fern
