Herman Miller Embody review
This user tried the Embody for about three to four days at work and had a severely negative experience. The chair caused them significant back pain that persisted for an entire week after using it, indicating it aggravated their back considerably. The experience was bad enough that it directly influenced their decision to try the Leap V2 instead. The brief trial period was sufficient for them to determine the Embody was completely unsuitable for their body, causing real physical problems that extended well beyond their time in the chair.
Cons
- Caused severe back pain after just 3-4 days
- Pain lasted an entire week afterward
- Completely unsuitable for their body type
