    I've been sitting in Herman Miller chairs for years, they are really hard to beat in terms of build quality and the 12 year warranty they include with every chair. But each of their most popular chairs are quite different from each other. For that reason I believe it's important to get an opportunity to sit in each to decide which is best for your own specific needs. In this video, I will do just that and share my opinions to help you decide which is best for you.

    The Aeron size chart recommended to me is B. I’m 72kg 180cm. My legs are long. I
    Read some people complains about the hard edge. So I’ve tried both B and C. I’m glad I did. The C is perfect. I have no problem with front edge. Give a try you float and don’t feel any hard edges.

  • @StardustLegacyFighter
    @StardustLegacyFighter Рік тому +53

    The Mirra 2 is a great chair for most people, but the mesh does cause pressure points if you're heavy (unlike the one found on the Aeron) and the seat pan can be too firm which can hurt bigger thighs. Thankfully, the Aeron size c doesn't have any of these issues and is especially comfortable if you have longer legs that don't touch the seat edge.

      -1. Herniad disc in my lower back
      -2. The front edge of my site is straight therefore too high and thus cut the blood from circulating behind my legs so what i'm looking for is
      -1. A chair where my ass doesn't touch the bottom of the seat.
      -2. A chair that doesnt touch the back of my legs at all.
      The three first chair this guy make a fantastic job of describing seems to all answer my prayers ... i'm really lost on which one to bought

    Great review. For such a pricey purchase, i really recommend trying the chairs in person first. I was pretty sold on the Aeron based on aesthetics and function but after testing out all the chairs at the Herman Miller store today, I went with the Embody. My biggest issue with sitting long hours is back discomfort. The embody just felt more supportive and comfortable.

I've read if you are in between seat sizes this happens (I'm smack bang on 6 foot) Apparently I'm one of the unlucky ones.
    I LOVED how it supported my lower and mid back like no other chair (inc the Embody and Steelcase chairs) and it feels like now I've sat in that nothing else compares and I just cannot get comfortable, but the damn seat issue I cannot buy it!

    Got an Embody last month after using a DX racer for about 5 years. The first couple days were not very comfortable, I was adjusting it back and forth but about the second week in, it got dialed in and it is really comfy now. Chose the Embody over the Aeron b/c I like to sit in relaxing posture at times, and the Embody allows me to sit in relaxing positions like feet on etc. Aeron seems to be work position only, not play. Will probably get the Atlas head rest as well when it comes out later this year.

    My home office chair is the Cosm in the exact spec and color as shown. It replaced my Aeron chair that I've been using for over 8 years. My son uses it now so they really are a good bargain if you think about the longevity.
    I chose the Cosm because of that hammock like feel. It feels like my body is absorbed into the chair, and I actually like the leaf arm. It's not adjustable, but it give me perfect resting point for using the keyboard, and it's the perfect angle to use as an arm rest when I recline and put my feet up on an ottoman/foot rest that I keep in the office.
    One thing about the tilt though is that my wife who is 5'4 and 108 pounds cannot recline. But for me the recline is natural. So perhaps it's not the best for people of lighter body build.
    We have multiple homes and I wish I had enough money to furnish all the work chairs with an Aeron or a Cosm.
    So for the summer home, we bought our son the Sayl with adjustable arms and seat depth.
    I was actually pretty surprised how good it was. If you don't mind the rubber like back, then it's worth a look.
    But for me, the Cosm is my favorite, although I am thinking about getting an Eames Aluminum Executive chair. I sat in my mom's again recently and it was very nice and sleek. The leather was holding up very nicely for its age as well. Guess I'm getting old.

  • @ImNoctica

I don't work for them and haven't ordered one yet, but they do make add-on headrests specifically for the Mirra 2 that look as if they match perfectly. If I end up liking the chair, I might try out one of them since I'm really used to having a headrest on my old chair. Hope this helps!

  • @dogoku

    My first HM chair was the Mirra 1 which I really enjoyed due to the taller back, but it's also not as solid as the aeron. I haven't tried a Mirra 2, which seems to have reinforced the top of the back, which was the weak point. I daily drive a 2nd-hand classic aeron and I am mostly happy with it

You do this to so many of same chairs you review. Just say which is a pos to buy and don't place them in another (review) video with other pos chairs and say they are good.

My recommendation is to properly try out both chairs first and make use of the 14-30 free returns policy if available.

    I was between the *Aeron* and the *Embody* for my home office, where I sit easily 10h/day or more every day, for work, education, and recreation with rarely any breaks in between. I followed your advice and went to try them both in person. I was especially uncertain about the Aeron size that would fit me at 185cm and 90kg.
    To my surprise, both Aeron sizes (B and C) could not fit me. Specifically, the space between armrests was not wide enough to have my elbows sitting straight down from my shoulders, and I was already feeling cramped after 10-15 minutes of sitting in the furniture store with shoulder pain setting in. The Embody on the other hand, with its big (and adjustable) armrest width and wide flat armrests didn't cause such an issue for me.
    I had watched and read tens and tens of reviews across the internet for both chairs (and even more for others) and it's beyond me that no review ever mentioned the problem of the spacing between armrests. I wasn't even aware that that could be an issue on a chair, let alone on the Aeron, given how adjustable and praised its armrests are and even more so compared to those of the Embody.
    I ended up buying the Embody Logitech edition online because I liked the looks and found it a bit cheaper than the standard Embody in the shop. I have it for 6 months with *extensive* daily use. It's worth every cent. It's the most comfortable chair I've ever had and even after such use I've never had a single issue in any way in terms of discomfort, pain, or construction quality/materials. This thing is built like a tank. And I love how it allows me to sit in less "correct" positions when I relax and watch a movie at the end of the day, which the Aeron can't do.
    The commonly reported noise of this chair hasn't been a concern at all BTW. Is it stealth-silent? No, it makes a "stretchy" sound if you move laterally, as the different backrest layers rub together. But then again every chair will creak a bit if you push it. Did I ever notice it making noise while I sit on it and work? Never, not once. Even when I'm not using my noise-canceling headphones, which I have on half the time anyway.

    Thank you for this review, really very interesting and very well presented !!!
    In Belgium, it is difficult to find a Herman Miller dealer and they generally offer few models. 3 years ago, I wanted to buy a Herman Miller Aeron Remastered because it was "THE" star of office chairs. I was ready to buy it even without trying it because I thought that at this price, and with such a reputation, it must be the most comfortable chair in the world. However, I had the opportunity to do so and fortunately! I hated her!
    As explained in the video, the frame is really uncomfortable and presses on the back and legs. 5 minutes were enough to convince me that I will never buy it! Unfortunately, I did not have the opportunity to try the other Herman Miller chairs presented in the video because the models were not available. Today I have a Steelcase Leap V2 for 2 years and I love it!
    In summary, as other people have already said, the most important thing before buying a chair, even a reputable one, is to try it!

    When I was looking for an office chair I bought 3 Herman Miller chairs, the big Aeron, the Embody and the Cosm. All three ended up going back because I , being 6’3 and 255lbs, couldn't for the life of me fit into any of them comfortably for a prolonged period of time. The Cosm was by far the worst, the Aeron being second, both of them created horrible pressure spots after even half an hour of sitting. The Embody was a bit better, but still created pressure spots on the edges of the seat on my thighs. Point being, no matter what you hear, see or read on the internet, if you're in any way bigger than the norm, make sure you can test and return the chair.

    • @StardustLegacyFighter

      @@StardustLegacyFighter I ended up with the Steel Case Gesture which is a good fit, especially because the front part is soft, so even though my thighs technically are on the corners it's still comfortable. I considered the leap as well, but I don't remember what got me to chose the gesture over it tbh. It's overall a good chair and definitely better than anything I had before, but compared to Herman Miller the build quality is definitely worse

      Build quality is still the best, but I do agree with the quality control standards dropping.

I do think that any Herman Miller chairs manufacturered outside of the USA have way more quality control issues.

      Aside from the pain, if you still like the Aeron's adjustments, design and controls then you could just go for the far more comfortable remastered Aeron.

    i think all ergonomic chars are a ripoff. It still matters how you maintain your posture. We have herman miller's at work and I have another off-brand at home. Neither really makes a difference keeping my posture correct and preventing body aches at the end of the day. it's still better to get up every now and then. Bought another rolly chair with armrest and it's equally good at keeping my comfortable for a the short term.

      12 year warranty, I've not bought an expensive chair yet, but after using a £100 gaming chair which fell apart after 4 months I think a chair that will last 12 years (and some can even be found which can be dated to the 90s and still look good) is quite impressive.
      It's an investment I plan to use for almost as long as I've been alive so far, so for me 1 months wage for 12+ years of back health and aesthetics (as i am looking at the cosm with the beautiful leaf arms, maybe the embody) isn't too bad. It's like £1100 or $1300 equivalent for the full package on it.
      It will be literally the most expensive thing I've ever bought however at literally 4x what I paid for my car lol. So it better be good for that price. Going off reviews it should be though.
