- At Herman Miller, we've been creating iconic designs since 1905 that allow people to perform at their best. With the Embody Gaming Chair, we've married that expertise with @LogitechG's unique understanding of gaming to create a chair that provides exceptional ergonomics, and a more comfortable way to play.

I bought into the hype of this chair and I’ve had it for 3 weeks. I’ve been sitting on it for 10-12hrs/day 7 days a week and I have not felt any pain. I came from the Steelcase Series 1 chair that my company purchased for me to work from home but after 3hrs my tailbone would start to hurt. Since I have been sitting in the chair, the pain has gone away and I felt no pain whatsoever. This was the best money that I have spent on a chair. It is by far the best chair out in the market apart from the Aeron Gaming chair. I don’t have that chair but I would like to have it. I think the Embody is still better than the Aeron because it is a one size fits all whereas the Aeron is only for certain size. I love my chair!
Thanks for sharing your experience!

I think the chair misses a "forward tilt" function to properly support a player. When gamers "try hard" they lean forward, so the backrest remains sort of useless.
If there was a forward tilt function, people who lean forward while gaming and trying hard to win would actually be supported in that endeavor.
I hope one day there'll be a version of an embody chair with the forward tilt. It would make me buy the chair instantly.
Greetings from Germany
Hello, thank you for sharing this feedback with us.
Picked up an original Embody for 400... very satisfied.
How? Damn, I am actually so jealous.
On offerup. I got lucky tho, the guy just happened to have one and I was gonna buy a mirra2 for 500 off him but he showed up with the Embody because he thought it would be better for me. Then I asked if he could fo 400... I don't see embody for any less than 800 usually. Its got a couple little scratches on the right arm I kind of buffed out with some car products but other than that its perfect-its grey fabric, translucent back, black base, with silver metal legs. I love it. The chair really absolutely helped my back. I had really bad back pain before from sitting for even a short time.
Good vid, but PLEASE bring out extra colours. (Dark Red back, for example). That blue won't go with all setups and room colour schemes. GF would love a purple one, won't buy otherwise as it just won't go with her room.
YES MORE COLORS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The red should be BRIGHT in the back, that would be insane!
Thanks for your feedback. We're taking notes!
@@hermanmiller Oh you came out with a black one, and I've bought it! (as did my GF). Thanks for that. :)
Would have loved a dark red one but whatevs, the black one looks nice enough.
@@hermanmiller White would be a nice. And a red too!
anyone else reviewing this chair for an engineering assignment ? no just me.
I don't get what logitec did other than rebrand the regular embody chair, still great chair though
It’s basically a less expensive model with more features than the more expensive normal base model with slight changes to the lumbar support. It’s a better deal IMO
@@Scragg- basically the Logitech has thicker cushion and is "copper infused" that makes it cooler and more breathable. Also the lumbar support "forces" you to sit more upright or forward (because competitive gamers tend to lean forward when playing) as opposed to the original embody which is more relaxed and laid back. I also heard about the original being more expensive but being cheaper usually through your local authorized dealers, I don't know if that's true or not
@@ightimmaheadout290 I managed to get a good deal on a brand new original embody, it seems for force me to sit straight enough tbh I don’t think there is much of an actual difference between them besides maybe the padding. In any case the one I got is comfortable enough so I’m happy with it
Logitech’s version is more padded and stiffer for gamers than the original embody but other than that they are essentially the same chairs. I got mine for $1100 shipped with tax included and that’s why I purchased mine. I was not about to spend $2k on a chair so when the opportunity arose I jumped on it. I am not the type to buy anything used. Call me superficial but I think it’s nasty. Plus, the Logitech’s version is limited edition so if I want to sell it at a a later time the value will still be there. Logitech’s model is fully loaded whereas the regular embody is customizable to an extent. I have been sitting in my chair for over 2 weeks now and I have not had any more back pain or pain in my tailbone like I had when I was using my Steelecase Series 1 chair. This chair is worth $1100 to me but I would really have to think hard about paying $2k for the chair but I think at the end of the day, I would.
@@iHustleLXXXI don’t make the same mistake I did by tightening the front knob all the way to keep it from leaning back at all and fucking up your neck. You need to have it at least a little bit loose so that it can actually conform to your back and flex.
Front knob - tension to conform with back arch and flex
Back knob - forward + back lean.
I was using front knob all the way tense and using the back lean to compensate for the lack of an arch with that setting and it really screwed up my neck, I just realized last night that I had been using it completely wrong and did basically the opposite settings and I’m feeling much better already
Edit: it took a few weeks using the wrong settings to start feeling pain
What’s the scientific reason for no headrest or any neck support. The only thing holding me back from this chair currently using Aeron with Atlas head rest. A must for my neck disability. I can’t sit more than 5 minutes at a time but my current chair is by far the easiest.
What I understand from the reviews is that this chair is designed to be used at a very slightly/naturally backward inclined position to hold the spine in the correct position. It seems like you don't need a headrest at such a position since you would be looking at the monitor with your head very slightly forward, therefore your head would be hanging in the air without pressure. That's what it says in the specs of the chair on their website.
@@unity20000 I need a headrest on any chair I sit in because of my cervical dystonia my head pulls severely to the left side so I need support to keep my head straight without enormous amounts of pain.
Atlas are making a headrest for Embody too, but I guess there will be a few more months before it's out. This is also currently what's holding me back from getting an Embody, because I would really like a headrest for when I want to lean back and relax a bit. I'm kinda waiting with getting a new chair until the Atlas Embody headrest is out, so I can know if it's good or if I'm better off getting a different chair entirely.
@@salut9658 Nothing yet, unfortunately. Still on my cheap Ikea chair. The Atlas headrest isn't out yet, but will be in the beginning of 2023 I believe. I'm still leaning towards getting an Embody + Atlas I think, might get an Embody soon and preorder the headrest.
Not sure if the headrest will void the warranty of the chair or not. Seems like it won't leave noticable marks, but who knows.
Thank u all very much
Luckily Atlas headrests stepped in to make this a gaming chair for gamers who play with controllers and like to lean back in their chairs while playing, not only those who play with mouse and keyboard.
Ya except it defeats the purpose of an ergonomic chair
@@XR-qs7mqnot if you use it primarily for work but then also wanna relax in it for a few hours to play games at night.
Any idea when the headrest will be released? really hoping for one
Why no headrest?
dont need one
@@drunkengrodd2796wrong
All the interviewed logitech employees sits on their logitech embody, but what are the herman miller employees sitting on?
Judging from the bottom cross-bar under each of their seats it looks like they're both sitting in Herman Miller's "Eames Soft Pad Chair"
ok I'm good with the chair but I don't understand why you ask logitech what gamer need and they only give you gaming color
Logitech has the market, sponsors events, etc. It's an open way into the clients
@@brenogibson3538 good point
Actually it’s more than just colour, the entire chair is unique in that no other embody sits the way it does, as well as the extra padding/cooling foam, it’s actually perfectly tailored to a gamer
You guys should make colors matching that of the logitech color collection
Thanks for your feedback!
if you have a chair in too much I will have it 😁
Yo its Myth
when my husband found out about the cooling foam with copper-infused particles (he's a gamer AND a golfer) he was IN.

The loudest creaking chair in history.... how a chair that cost 2k could be this squeeking loud is beyond me. ..
Mines quiet af
Too expensive!
I can assure you, myself having big back problems, I've already started saving cash instead of going to the doctor. In 2-3 years I'll out value the cost of the chair
@@freedonxit’s not that comfortable, it’s ergonomic. The seat is rock hard
@@Snxgur If your seat is rock solid, then it's defective , return it.
However don't confuse it by being harder than a cheap chair that it's bad.
@@freedonx Sold it and went to secretlabs titan evo and couldn’t be happier, just got done a 30 hour session sitting in it and 0 pain. Embody i could barely do 5 hours, each to their own
I believe the Aeron is the superior chair in many ways (assuming you've found the correct size for you and can live with the static arms) however I couldn't get used to the hard frame around the seat which made me return it.
I got an Embody after that and of course it doesn't have that sort of problem. I miss the forward tilt of the Aeron though and the Embody is very poorly built for the high price tag. All plastic with lots of sharp edges everywhere, the whole construction isn't very confidence inspiring but that's what the warranty is for I suppose. It's a comfy chair but it lacks freedom of adjustment which makes it hard to recommend. You just have to test the two and see for yourself, both are quite controversial.
You have been making the same chair for 30 years
Wish there was more than 2 colors the blue looks corny
There's black on black, with white highlights for casters/sear adjustment/armrest adjustment buttons
And also the purple one and the green one -- but I feel you, I think they should have made an option for customisation colours for such a high price 😬 I just went with the black on black, because I'm rebuilding my office layout after I move 🤙🏽
A chair with a backrest that is too comfortable is nothing more than the pot for the plant that you will become!
200$ chair 1000$ worth of marketing
lol yup!
200$, 1000$ it doesn't matter, you couldn't afford it at either price point.
@@n3hp5 200$ is decent
most good chairs are around a couple hundred more dollars. it's furniture,
people who own houses buy furniture, if you have enough money to buy a house you have extra money to spend decorating it.
i mean if you want a C H A I R 4 legs and something to sit on, you can get that for 20$ in wallmart.
office chairs are worth a lot because of the ergonomics, the adjustments, the quality (sometimes) it all adds up realistically it cost like 50$ worth of material for a 200$ chair, plus labor and marketing,
i spent 400$ on my chair, i have a min wage job, and i can afford it.
R&D + brand.
Lmao, more blood to the brain wtf! I play 30% better now because my char oxygenates more my brain lmao, my reaction time is 0.5ms faster lmao
the grill design looks ugly (and maybe feels annoying sinking in?), please make it completely smooth and uniform
