Herman Miller Embody review
The user is a 6'3", 230 lbs individual who purchased their Embody new a couple of years ago and uses it for gaming and working from home 2 days per week, with 6-14 hours of daily use depending on the day. While they generally like the chair, they find themselves missing two key features: a headrest and a more comfortable seat cushion. Specifically, they experience quite a bit of pain in the backs of their thighs during long sitting sessions. They're looking for upgrade possibilities to address these comfort issues, but are constrained by living in a country with limited options and a limited used chair market, so they're seeking any recommendations they can get.
Cons
- No headrest
- Seat cushion causes pain in backs of thighs during long sitting sessions
- Not fully comfortable for extended 6-14 hour daily use
