Herman Miller Sayl review

The reviewer tested the Sayl alongside the Embody when making their purchase decision. They found the Sayl to be a more affordable Herman Miller option with an interesting aesthetic design. The Sayl's back support felt adequate for shorter sitting sessions but didn't provide the same level of support as the Embody for all-day use. They appreciated the Sayl's lighter weight and modern look, and think it would be a good choice for someone who sits for 4-6 hours a day rather than 8+. The price difference is significant, and for more casual use, the Sayl offers good value, but for serious all-day sitting, they recommend the Embody.

Pros

  • More affordable Herman Miller option
  • Interesting aesthetic design
  • Lighter weight
  • Good for 4-6 hours daily use
  • Good value for casual use

Cons
