Herman Miller Embody review

This person tried both the Aeron and Embody in a showroom and strongly preferred the Embody. They found the Aeron's mesh seat uncomfortable for extended sitting and felt it created pressure points, while the Embody's cushioned seat felt more supportive and distributed weight better. They also preferred the Embody's back support, which they felt was more forgiving and comfortable. They acknowledge the Embody costs significantly more but felt it was worth it for their needs.

Pros

  • Cushioned seat more comfortable than mesh for extended sitting
  • Better weight distribution than mesh design
  • More forgiving and comfortable back support
  • No pressure points during extended use

Cons

  • Significantly higher cost than Aeron
