  • I was already a fan of the original Herman Miller Embody chair. So when this HM x Logitech gaming collaboration came out, I had to test it out for myself and see whether it lives up to the hype.

    *One Month Later* Hmm... A couple things off the top of my head. 1) The Back Rest. I still feel like the back rest is stiffer/less flexible than the original one but I don't know if that's a universal change or something that softens with time. I've gotten used to the extra padding in the center spine area. The lumbar area is still a "small" source of pain for me in this chair but that's no different from my experience with the original. I still think that's the biggest potential dealbreaker for some since you can't move it higher/lower based the curve of your back. 2) Noise: This new chair doesn't make the same squeaking noise that my original Embody had made. According to HM, they fixed that squeaking noise on all Embodys and that this change was implemented around 2019. So it's possible there were some other minor revision changes since then that affect all Embodys. But... keep in mind that this chair will and does still have some mechanical/plastic/rubbing noises, which I think is unavoidable with such a flexible chair. 3) The Seat: It still feels kind of lumpy with that extra foam cushion and grooves in the seat. I think it will probably be more noticeable if you have longer legs and need to extend the seat pan out. But I don't think it's a deal breaker. 4) Headrest or Upper Neckrest. I wish there was an option to have a headrest on this chair. Lounging to some shows or playing console games would have been nicer with a headrest.

      Nice review! I got mine about a week ago. I was wondering if you feel the seat is different than the original. I feel like the extra padding and lump on the seat is giving me some pressure on my thigh. If you felt the same way, did it go away after weeks of use? I also use it at home and wear shorts like you.

    I´ve always been hesitant when it came to buying an expensive chair until recently when I finally bought one. A friend of mine recommended me a local company here in the Czech Republic called Therapia and I gave it a shot. I went to their store and I was surprised at how everything went there. They asked questions like: how long do you sit behind your PC, what´s your weight, what´s your height, how high is the PC, do you have any medical conditions, etc... After like 20 minutes of talking, they showed me two different models, to try them out, and honestly? I was amazed. I told them that I´d love to have one of them, so one of the employees took me to their office and showed me all the different customization options for that specific chair. You can choose different fabrics throughout the whole chair, different stitching, different color combinations of that whole setup, different headrest, and even different set of wheels. The whole chair cost almost $1.400, but it´s been the best chair and pretty much the best investment I´ve ever did.

      I have both chairs (aeron and normal embody). Both are great, but it really depends what you like in your chair. Aeron is great if you like to lean/rock back on your chair, which I like and you can get a great aftermarket headrest (atlas) another huge plus for me. So this is my main chair, aeron with headrest. If you just like sitting in upright position without headrest, then it doesn't get better than embody (most comfortable normal sitting position chair). But honestly you can't go wrong with either one.

      No, not at all, I think :) This chair doesn't really bring much (if anything) to what standard office chairs have been giving us for years.
      Moreover it has serious flaws, which make it not really ergonomic:
      No headrest (so constant reclining will damage your thoracic spine) and pretty small heap angle.
      BTW: Please notice that author is pretty young and has a good posture :) But be sure that years of sitting in such chair (not only in Embody, but in all similar chairs too) will damage his spine seriously.
      Don't take my word for it, but learn how the human's spine really works :)

  • @BobT36
    @BobT36 Před 3 lety +2

    Thanks for the review and update David. I've seen at least 5 other reviews on HM's own webpage for this where they complained about the new seat foam abruptly "cutting off". I collated and sent these to HM in the hope they rectify this. One dude just bought some extra foam himself and slipped it in the space there to pad it out more, so at least it's semi-fixable.
    Shame they didn't improve the arms as this was one of the other major complaints. I hope they come out with better versions one day as apparently, they're detachable? Could easily be upgraded.
    I've not seen any complaints about the new back foam being only along the spine though, a tad concerning as I'm the EXACT same height / weight as you. I did read many reviews of the previous embody though where people complained the plastic "arms" in the back were digging into them. I assume that's not as bad now? I'm hoping your complaints about the back were just because you were able to compare with the original Embody, (I've currently used neither).
    I'm looking for a new chair myself and really considering this one. They HAVE to come out with some alternate colour options though as that blue is fooking horrible and my missus has explitly forbidden it, as it doesn't match anything in our house. If they do come out with alternate colours though (Dark red for me, purple for her), she'll be wanting one, too as her DX Racer is predictably falling to bits in it's 3rd year.
    A little concerning it's still a "hmm". Would definitely appreciate some updates as you get on and "break in" this chair. Do you think it would be great for someone (your height and weight) who's never tried the previous embody, and therefore doesn't know the difference? I'm currently sitting in an old version of one of these lol, with a Bonmedico bum and back cushion as my arse has ground a hole through the padding over the last 8 years: www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004P8J1A8
    As to the headrest, they say you don't need one, but it would still be nice to have the option. They should have made the "Flap" bit at the back on a hinge, where you can flip it up and rest your head on that!

      Atlas headrests are making one for it though so I'll certainly buy when available.
      I've only really tried the big "Executive" "armchair on a pedestal" types, and a DXRacer Valkyrie (GF's) and DXRacer King. This blows all 3 out of the water. The price is expensive but considering how long most "gaming" chairs last nowadays and considering the 10-year warranty, you're just paying the same you would anyway but upfront, that's all.
      Well worth it for a healthy back. In the UK at least you can return within 2 weeks if you don't like it, so worth a try. Both me and the GF are happy with our Embodies, but not everyone gets on with them well (heard super tall people don't really like em).

    Maybe you can help me. Im doubting a lot between this two chairs as I have health issues, namely a fibromialgia that makes all my muscles stiff and inflamed. My worst pain is the legs and the hip. Do you think the extra cushing in the gaming chair will be a benefit in my case or not? I also suffer from my back and neck of course, but the worst pains are at my bottom, legs and hips (the interior muscles of the hips) wich is why I want this chair as it has this pixel suspension given thatn traditional foam seat or mesh do not work for me and cretes me a lot of pain in the long term. I've noticed too that if the chair has better back support less pressure ir put on your bottom/legs so maybe the original one helps me more with more back support. thus why im doubting beteew extra foam in the gaming model or better back support in the old one, taking in account that at the end the bigest deal is going to be if the pixel seat does help me with my pain, wich I will only know when I try it. Wich one of the two you recomend me, the original or the gaming one?

    Hi David,
    I recently purchased an Embody regular with balance fabric, produced in August 2020.
    The chair was ordered before the Logitech gaming model was released.
    With the backrest everything ok, but the seat is stiff! I feel my feet asleep, it's probably the pixelated structure below and above all the seat edge.
    I ask you: do you think it would be possible to put an additional foam under the balance fabric?
    How thick is the foam under the logitech model?
    Considering your experience, do you prefer the balance fabric or the Logitech fabric?
    I'm waiting for your advices.

    At work I sit on a Recaro Cammander (3800€) and I wanted to get about the same look and feel for my "Office" at home.
    I found a "clone" from HJH Office which "only" costs 1200€ and damn is it a nice chair. I really like the route they went on this one here though with the layered supports - I am afraid that the foam-cushion will give way over the years. Would I have known of this type of chair I maybe would have choosen it instead.

    For "Herman Miller x Logitech", the "x" is meant to be "by" and not actually pronounced "x". Similar to how a 2x4 piece of lumber is pronounced "two by four".

    David, Thanks for spending time on a thorough review. I think you said (on the prevs. model) the chair made noise from the back supports is this so on this chair? So the sidearm supports do seem "clunky" also very cheap looking, especially when extended. For $1,500 usd that is a major misstep imo.

    • @HelloDavid
      @HelloDavid  Před 3 lety +2

      So HM told me they "fixed" this on all Embodys sometime in 2019. I can say that mine doesn't make as much noise as the original, but I say that with caution. This chair will always have some sort mechanical/plastic/rubbing noise. I would say it's avoidable with such a flexible chair.

      @EuroBomb this is a midback chair, it's probably okay if you're being productive or actively gaming but if you're chilling after work watching a movie and you're tall your gonna want a high back chair for neck support. I am 6'2" 220lbs and I am shopping for a new chair because my dx racer pu material is flaking off. I'm leaning toward the secret lab titan or titan xl. If this were a high back chair I would buy it. I would like an Ergonomic chair but they tend to be mid back. I hate to have to choose between neck and lumbar support. The gaming chairs usually use those dumb pillows.

    • @jw3299
      @jw3299 Před 3 lety

      @EuroBomb secret lab claims to have researched and developed stronger pu, leather has its own required upkeep as well. I'm considering secret labs new softweave material, it's a cloth. They have 3-4 colour ways and I like the triple black. Right now I have a car seat cover on my dx racer to prevent further decay of the pu. The advantage of pu is that it is easier to clean if you spill on it. You could do the pu and put a cover on it like I have right from the start. My dx racer has lasted about 6 years, the tilt mechanism broke which I ordered replacement for. The secret lab titan has built in lumbar support which gets mixed reviews. Sorry this is a little all over the place but I'm on my phone so I can't organize it better. From what I can see there is no perfect chair, your gonna have to pick and prioritize your needs and live with the short coming of whatever you decide on. I liked my dx racer and they were the first in the gaming chairs but I do not feel they have done much to innovate so I'm looking at other brands.

    • @jw3299
      @jw3299 Před 3 lety

      @EuroBomb okay so I have been thinking about this for awhile now while I read various reviews and plan out the solution to my problems.
      "Curve ball" lol
      I am buying a sit stand desk this holiday. I think having my desk at the right height will help with some of the ergonomics as well as allow me to stand when I'm tired of sitting.
      I think just standing for 30-40 minutes every few hours is going to alleviate some of the discomfort I have after sitting long periods. As I'm getting older, 36, circulation is becoming a concern of mine as well as exercising in general.
      Then I'm going to buy a secret lab titan softweave to replace my dx racer because I nap at my home desk while watching Netflix so neck support is necessary and I think the fabric will breath better.
      Then down the line an ergonomic chair if I feel like I still need it or want it for serious battlefield sessions.
      So I'm prioritising standing, neck support then lumbar and ergonomics support. I don't know if that is smart or ideal but that's how I'm going about it.
      I'm also going with the desk first because I want to add a third 32" monitor. 🤷🏻‍♂️

    In the part where you mentioned the center back stiffness, you wrote that it might be due to it needing to be broken in more. Did you find that to be the case since filming the original review? Or do you still find the extra center back padding more fatiguing than the normal embody. Been considering picking this chair up and have been debating between the two. Thanks for the review!

    • @HelloDavid
      @HelloDavid  Před 3 lety +2

      I still find it stiffer compared to the older original. But I still don't know if that's from an overall revision change from 2017 to 2020, or limited to this Logitech version. As for the extra center back padding, my upper back has gotten used to it (or it's soften?). Still having some challenges with the lower back/lumbar but I had those same concerns with the original.

    Hey David,
    I've just watched 2 of your videos on chairs as I'm currently in the market for a new chair.
    1 - What height are you? In the Steelcase Gesture review you said you wished the headrest could go a bit higher, I'm 6'2" so I'm wondering if that's right for me?
    2 - If you had to use 1 chair for the rest of your life, Gesture or Embody, which would it be? I love the Embody but I use an Ikea Markus chair at the moment and having a highback with headrest has me spoiled.
    Cheers!

If you really want for looks/comfort, same company herman miller as the embody. Also makes the ever so popular Aeron, PLENTY AVAILABLE FOR $200-$300 used. Don't get the embody. Nobody wants Embody in the city.
