Went into Hermann Miller a couple weeks ago and added an Embody and an Aeron to my customer profile's online cart (still deciding). The saleswoman says I'll get an email sometime in November when the sale triggers so I can check out.

I paid $1365 with shipping back in May. No way I’d pay that for a used one. It looks like the base price has gone up $100 since then. If you have a dealer nearby you can always go in and get a quote with no commitment. It should be quite a bit cheaper than the list price if they aren’t scummy.

Closest dealer is apparently like five hours away, but I also think they're some kind of corporate design firm thing, not some office furniture store.

I know everyone says the Embody is better than the Aeron, and I’m sure it is for many, even most, but I could just never got along with it. My Aeron Size C has been great for 2 months and while I haven’t had any marathon gaming sessions, I don’t find myself massaging my trapezius muscles like I did with my Staples Hykken.

Sure, a Honda car is better than a huffy bike, but it isn't better than a Mercedes. The embody is the Mercedes

Even when I recline in the embody I don't feel like I need a headrest. The best case I can see for buying a combo (rather than buying e.g. an Atlas Headrest later if necessary) would be for color matching, but it should be possible to buy a chair in a "safe" color -- and it looks like atlas sell their headrests in a variety of colors too. Hell, they even have it in the stone medley color that I bought my chair in. Edit: ^^ 6'4" here  maybe I'm just used to headrests being too short anyway

I'm a few days into owning an Embody. Any advice for adjusting the back? I'm having a hard time finding a setting that feels comfortable.

Nostalgamus posted:I'm a few days into owning an Embody. You have to sit up straight and make sure your lumbar is actually up against the lumbar support. As a former slouch it took a few weeks for me to feel comfortable because I had to learn to sit in the chair the right way and actually let it support me. This may not be your exact issue but keep it in mind.

There’s one knob that controls curvature and another that controls resistance for leaning back. Adjust the curvature to your liking first with the back locked imo. Then adjust resistance to make it comfortable to lean back at various angles with the back unlocked.

Then roll up and unroll the seat fifty times because what chair has a seat that rolls up and is still comfy It’s a fun novelty and I’m a child

With the Embody, I owned it for like 6 months before I realized the back was able to lock into various positions. This is mostly because I didn't need it; once I set the leanback tension adjustment to where it naturally stopped me at a comfortable angle, I just sorta stopped looking for adjustment levers haha

i have one, finding it much more comfortable than the leap (due to the breathable back) and aeron (due to being more flexible and forgiving) i tried previously feels solid, overall it's very similar to the leap in design and construction aside from the mesh back i have the version without the extra aggressive lumbar support and it works for me but YMMV the main compromise is that the forward tilt implementation is half assed, only the seat tips forward, it doesn't bring the back with it like the aeron does

Nice! I never really cared for seats tipping forward so that's okay. What sort of material did you use on yours? That digital knit does look comfortable.

mine has the standard mesh back, i assume the digital knit version will trap more heat for better or worse depending on your climate the mesh is comfortable, it's not rigid like the aeron, it's a softer material supported by a flexible plastic frame kind of like a poor man's embody repiv fucked around with this message at 16:58 on Oct 28, 2023 |

The digital knit is very comfortable and is pretty breathable. It seems pretty comparable to a mesh back for dispersing heat. The backrest is the best part of the chair.

My best guess is that most of their regular Embody sales are to business/enterprise customers who shrug at slightly higher pricing because it's someone else's money, while gamers are more price conscious and they're competing against the DX Racer du jour in that market. Comedy option is that they're still trying to clean out old stock from their initial production run years later.

The logitech chair comes in one color combination while there’s like 20 colors/fabrics you can pick for each option with the regular. Usually means the Logitech one ships out way faster too. The Logitech blue might be too bright with office lighting (like in that thumbnail) but it looks nice in more natural or home lighting.

It looks like the Logitech embody comes in an all black color now with some white accents on the wheels. I decided to order that one today. Figure I can swap the wheels if they are too ugly in my office.

My wife had her work order the Galaxy color one since she liked mine so much. Seems silly not to order the Logitech one for the discounted rate especially since black is available.

My 4'10" partner was complaining about how her Secret Lab was hurting her butt and back. I told her to try my Embody but she didn't think it would be any difference. She sat in it for exactly 30 seconds, and then ordered a Sayl.
