Herman Miller Embody review
The commenter tested both the Aeron and the Herman Miller Embody extensively at a showroom before deciding on the Embody. They found the Embody's backrest design to provide more comprehensive back support, with better distribution of pressure across the entire spine. The Embody's seat felt more comfortable for their body type, with a slight cushioning that they preferred over the Aeron's mesh. They particularly appreciated the Embody's ability to support their back even when leaning forward, which is important for their work tasks. The lack of traditional lumbar adjustment on the Embody initially concerned them, but the automatic BackFit adjustment system proved effective. While both are excellent chairs, they felt the Embody was worth the extra cost for the superior back support and comfort during varied sitting positions.
