Herman Miller Embody review

The commenter shares that they tried a Herman Miller Embody at a showroom and found it to be an interesting chair with unique back support technology. They describe the Embody as having a very different feel from traditional office chairs, with the pixelated back support providing pressure distribution in a novel way. However, they ultimately decided against it because they found the seat somewhat firm and the chair didn't provide quite as much adjustable lumbar control as they wanted for their lower back issues. They ended up choosing the Steelcase Leap V2 instead.

Pros

  • Unique back support technology
  • Interesting pressure distribution
  • Novel design

Cons

  • Seat somewhat firm
  • Less adjustable lumbar control than desired
  • Not ideal for lower back issues
