Herman Miller Embody review

This commenter switched from an Aeron to an Embody and considers it a substantial upgrade. They particularly appreciate the Embody's back support which they find superior to the Aeron's mesh back. The seat comfort is better for all-day sitting in their experience, and the chair encourages better posture naturally. They've had it for about six months and their lower back pain that they experienced with the Aeron has disappeared. The price was high but they consider it worth it for the improvement in comfort and the elimination of their back issues.

Pros

  • Superior back support to Aeron
  • Better seat comfort for all-day use
  • Encourages better posture
  • Eliminated lower back pain
  • Significant comfort upgrade

Cons

  • High price
