Herman Miller Embody review

This user tried to sit in an Embody before purchasing but picked one up with an Atlas headrest without sitting in it first, and found it's not quite what they were hoping for. Although the headrest makes it much better, it's still a good chair but they feel like it's missing lumbar support. They consider it probably perfect for some people but not quite perfect for them personally. Overall they think it's a solid chair that would work well for certain users, just not ideal for their specific needs.

Pros

  • Good chair overall
  • Atlas headrest improves it significantly
  • Probably perfect for some people

Cons

  • Missing lumbar support
  • Not quite what they hoped for
  • Not perfect for their needs
