Herman Miller Embody review
This commenter has been using their Embody for approximately 7 months and has had a largely positive experience, though with some reservations. They work from home and spend about 8-9 hours daily in the chair. They find the back support to be excellent and appreciate how the chair moves with them rather than feeling rigid. However, they've noticed that the front edge of the seat can dig into the back of their thighs if they don't sit properly positioned, which can be uncomfortable. They've learned to adjust their sitting position and use the seat depth adjustment, which has helped. They also mention that the chair encourages them to sit with better posture, which has been beneficial for their overall back health, though it felt weird at first coming from a chair that let them slouch.
