Herman Miller Embody review

After two weeks of use, this new owner is impressed with the chair but still adapting to its unique feel. They came from a traditional office chair with thick padding and the Embody's firmer support system feels quite different. They notice that their posture is noticeably better and they're more aware of how they're sitting, which they view as a positive even though it felt odd at first. They haven't experienced the dramatic pain relief some others report, but they didn't have significant pain to begin with. They're optimistic that as they continue to use it, they'll appreciate it more fully. The build quality and adjustability are clearly premium.

Pros

  • Noticeably better posture
  • Increased sitting awareness
  • Premium build quality
  • Excellent adjustability

Cons

  • Requires adaptation period
  • Firmer than traditional padding
  • Feels odd initially
