Herman Miller Embody review
This user has owned their Embody for about 3 years and reports mixed long-term results. While the chair remains comfortable for sitting, they've noticed that the seat foam has compressed significantly over time and no longer provides the same level of support it did when new. They mention that they're average weight and size, so this wasn't due to unusual wear and tear. The foam compression has been disappointing given the chair's premium price point, and they expected better durability for the cost. They note that while it's still usable, the degradation in quality is noticeable and concerning.
Pros
- Still comfortable for sitting
- Held up reasonably well overall
Cons
- Seat foam compressed significantly after 3 years
- Lost original level of support
- Disappointing durability for the price
