Haworth Fern review
The commenter tried the Haworth Fern before ultimately choosing the Embody. They found the Fern to be an interesting alternative with a unique aesthetic and good environmental credentials using recycled materials. The Fern's support was adequate and the chair felt well-made, but they preferred the Embody's pixelated back support over the Fern's more traditional mesh system. The Fern's armrests were a bit limited in adjustment compared to the Embody. They think the Fern is a solid choice, especially for those who prioritize sustainability, but for pure ergonomic performance, they give the edge to the Embody.
Pros

- Good environmental credentials
- Uses recycled materials
- Adequate support
- Well-made
