*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 was waiting for someone to make this comparison. amazing and very detailed review thx !

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.

Hey David! I came across your video on what to keep in mind while buying chairs. I really love the content you put. I was wondering if you could review on some steelcase office chairs. I really like how they look but idk how it feels to sit and how comfy they are overall. I would appreciate it. Thanks!

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. Thanks

Thanks for the comparison!

Great detail in your review

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 :)

Have you ever tried the Haworth Fern? I see very little reviews of it compared to the Herman Miller chairs, but seems like a good alternative to the Embody.

Hello David, thanks for another amazing video! Would love to see a video wherein you explain more about your work, how you manage savings etc so that we get some inspiration on how to finally put together our dream setup. Really inspired by your minimalist tech lifestyle.

he’s back!!

i had an embody earlier this summer. didn't like it so i sold it. the arm adjustments are more primitive than the ones on the steelcase leap. the base of the chair felt like the steelcase leap. i felt that the skeleton on the back just wasn't supporting me in the way i wanted to. it's really narrow and the whole time i just really wanted to move my back across the back rest to a different area, but there's just no space to move your back with the back rest being so narrow. to me, it looks really futuristic and touts some really nice design, but functionally, it wasn't too far off from a pretty common task chair.

Thank you for the review. The old table was much nicer looking. Whats the benefits of the new one, why got rid of the old (wooden looking) one ?

I'm impressed the ergotron arm can hold the 48 inch LG OLED

The chair even has a special feature it can generate its own ESD and shock you when you touch metal!

This just made it harder for me to choose this or the original. Which did you end up preferring now that some time has passed?

Which mouse pad do you use? Looks awesome and perfectly sized for mouse + small apple keyboard

Hi David, What is the brand and model of your Laptop mount? It looks nice.

What laptop mount is that you're using?

Damn. That monitor tho i wish for monitor like that. Best chair review.

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.

You have a beautiful filming style

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?

Being 5'7 140lbs, I appreciate this review lol. I am VERY close to ordering. Cost is the only thing holding me back atm

What is the height/width of the table top for holding monitor arms How much is your breadth of your table for proper distance from monitor

you mentioned that the original back would squeak a bit when twisting. you mention the new one is a bit firmer... how does that impact the sound of the back twisting? is it still noticeable?

Cool review! What monitor do you have?

just buy this one and really wanted to know what i miss. My choice was mainly because of the price (cheaper to the gaming version) Thank you!

You have Ollin and HX Monitor arm. I like both of them!

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!

I am still debating on buying it or not. However, I am more interested in your laptop setup. Do you have the iOS installed on a dell???

Hi, thanks for making this video, and I buy the same one. However, this is a "click sound" from the seat (the double layer structure) when I seat on the chair. Do you also have this issue? or just only me? Thank you,

David! Glad to see you back at it! I'm gonna be trying to buy the ikea markus rn cause I just graduated and got a job, but it's out of stock. Anything else you'd recommend in the meantime or over it, thats at a similar price?

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

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.

@David Zhang are you able to get a Buro Metro chair in your country? $250 Australian and surprisingly comfortable

Hi David, What is the brand and model of your Laptop mount? Is it CBS Ollin?

what chair do you use? i tried the embody and if felt like just another chair. not really comfy. all the knobs and back bending features felt gimmicky at best. looks really cool. i'll give it that. i tried the aeron next to it and it blew me away. felt like i was floating. felt like it took off all the pressure points. my only problem with the aeron is that the B size feels like its trying to push me off and the C size feels a tad too big. the size chart says the B size is perfect for me. probably just gotta get used to it
