Herman Miller Embody review

This reviewer has owned a regular Herman Miller Embody for over a year and provides a detailed comparison with the Gaming version. They note that the main differences are cosmetic (color options and copper-colored accents on the gaming version) and that the gaming version includes additional cooling foam in the seat and back. However, they mention that the regular Embody already sleeps cool naturally, so the extra cooling foam may not be necessary for most users. They emphasize that functionally and structurally, both chairs are essentially identical. Their recommendation depends on the buyer's priorities: if someone wants the specific aesthetic of the gaming version (which they personally prefer) and doesn't mind paying extra for it, go for the gaming version; otherwise, the regular Embody offers the same core experience at a potentially lower price. They've been very satisfied with their standard Embody over the year-plus of ownership.

Pros

  • Sleeps cool naturally without extra foam
  • Excellent performance over a year of ownership
  • Same core functionality as gaming version at lower price
