Herman Miller Embody review

After using the chair for six months, this reviewer reports mixed feelings about their purchase. While they acknowledge that the chair is well-built and the back support system is innovative, they find the seat cushion to be too firm for their preference. They mention that they are a lighter person (around 130 lbs) and feel the chair might be better suited for heavier individuals. Despite the firmness issue, they do note that their posture has improved since using the chair, though they sometimes add a thin cushion for additional comfort during very long sessions.

Pros

  • Well-built construction
  • Innovative back support
  • Improved posture

Cons

  • Seat too firm for lighter individuals
  • Sometimes requires additional cushion
