Hey man, i dont wana leave a bad review and be a hater, but honestly the whole video just came across like a total add, and felt like you were trying to sell these so hard.
@@blue9906 the aeron was the only chair that helped with my back pain and once I tried the embody, it became my favorite chair of all time. The Sayl is also a great chair imho and I’ve reviewed a lot of chairs. I have plenty more “objective reviews” if that’s what you’re looking for. This video is clearly titled a buying guide, not “should you buy one”!
I bought the embody gaming and returned it after 30 days. I just couldn't adapt to it, felt too hard in my lower back and didn't feel 100% comfortable. When I tried the aeron afterwards, I INSTANTLY felt a big difference, much more confortable, my back fits perfectly and it feels really soft. I had a hard time accepting that I didn't like the embody but now I feel so good that I returned it. Love my Aeron.
I apologize in advance if this sounds like I'm speaking down to you (I am not, I promise!)....but I am SO PROUD of you!! Making an objective decision and not letting hype/sensationalism dictate what you buy/own! That's really awesome and I'm so happy you found your perfect chair!
I've owned both the non-gaming Embody and Aeron's. I'm a huge believer in buying quality office chairs given the quality of life for the time spent in them by professionals especially now with WFH. I totally agree on the majority of your points, the defining choice with me between the two was while I found the Embody more ergonomic and better long term value (seat cushion lasted longer). I ultimately went with the Aeron since the Embody seat would get too warm, and in a home with poor or no air conditioning the Aeron was the clear winner for staying cool with good comfort. I've had my Herman Millers easily last 7-10 years no problem vs cheap big box office chairs friends or family would buy that fall apart after 6-12 months that cost $100-300. Thanks for the great review, this is a a great value for folks who are spending this much money on a premium chair for the first time.
Which is more confortable (butt wise and leg wise) embody, sail or aeron? I can’t try them but it is said that the mesh on the aeron is hard. I need to seat 7hours a day so confort matters.
@@nn-qb1bp Aeron has always been my favorite for the above reasons, but the mesh seat pan only breaks down slightly to where it's just a few millimeters of bounce/give that just ends of flexing down as a hard seat surface. Check out their new updated "gaming" Embody Gaming for ultimate comfort with good cushion and supposedly they've improved cooling slightly which was my main complaint that those didn't breath vs the Aeron. They have a 20% off sale going right now during Presidents Day too which is kinda rare short of Black Friday.
Hey @sshepherd (or anyone for that matter I guess) what chair would you recommend for someone close to the 7’ height? I’d get that atlas headrest too if that matters.
Just got my Embody Logitech a couple of weeks ago. I've been working in offices for the better part of 35 years now and it's the most comfortable chair I've ever used. When the Atlas headrest finally comes out, I can see myself using it as an occasional lounge chair to watch TV on. It's that comfortable. Also, and this is a question of personal taste, it makes me feel like a starship captain every time I sit on it....
@@danielekirylo I guess it would depend quite a bit on what ambient temperature you prefer and your own propensity to heat up. To give you my personal experience, I like to work (and game) in about 19-20 Celsius, wearing a footer and sweatpants. I'm about 5'9'', 190lbs. I often sit for a solid three hours at a time (I know, I know...) and have never experienced either excessive heating anywhere, nor any discomfort in terms of any pressure points. With the right adjustments (which took me a couple of weeks to truly tweak) though, you'll forget you're even sitting down. I paid full price and extra transport to bring it to my country (there's nowhere to buy it here) and don't regret a penny of it.
I was ready to purchase a Razr gaming chair over Thanksgiving when I saw one of your videos. At first I was shocked by the price of entry for one of the Herman Miller chairs but realized the benefits after watching some more of your videos. Needless to say it went from want to need right now, lol. The next time Herman Miller puts a sale I'll definitely purchase it through your affiliated link. Thanks for educating the masses bro. Our back and behind thank you too!
I was in a similar boat for a long time... I always saw the price and laughed. "Who is spending that much on a chair?" right? Its one of those things that once you experience it for a while, and go sit on a cheaper chair (even those 400$ gaming chairs) you *immediately* will be questioning why doesnt everyone get a herman miller lol.
Glad you are getting official recognition and potentially sponsors from herman miller themselves! You deserve the best bro, always a pleasure watching your videos.
Had an Aeron for a dozen years before passing it along to my brother... I never got super comfortable in it. The Sayl on the other hand is amazing, and I have it in Lime green/black gaming version, sooooo nice for 10 hours at the computer per day. If you work full time from home, you spend more time at your desk than in your bed, it's *well worth* spending ~$1000 to be comfortable and properly supported.
You should def go try before buying. I bought my Embody 9 months ago, I was pretty sure I wanted to get a Mirra but after trying them all (they made me literally try every single chair in the showroom), I bought it directly. :)
Check if your area has a herman miller showroom. You probably won't be able to pick up your chair right on site but you should be able to test and see them in person
Had the aeron and the embody each one for a week (none gaming version): Aeron feels more solid, the mesh is comfortable but I hated that it force you to sit in one specific way. Cant cross legs, cant sit how i want.The aeron its possibly the best to work from home. The embody feels great to me, at first it was really weird but once you get used to its just perfect. Love the freedom you get. Best for work AND enterteinment No matter what you choose, make sure to try it first.
a lot of people criticize the Aeron for not being able to sit in it however you want, but after sitting in it for a month or two, I think that's the wrong way to approach it. it passively improves your posture because it encourages a more ergonomic sitting position. and because of this, you won't feel the need to move around as much. your body doesn't fatigue as quickly when sitting properly. I very rarely feel the need to fold my legs at all - and if I do feel the need, it's just one leg, not both. if you don't even feel the need to change positions a lot in the first place, then changing positions a lot becomes less of a concern. that's the magic of the Aeron in my opinion. I absolutely love mine. that being said, try these chairs for yourself if you can before committing. and thank you Ahnestly for another good video.
I own a Sayl. I love it because it helps me sit correctly when doing work but it also allows me to sit on my leg or to rest my leg on a table. I also have this chair at my office. I hate the fully adj. arms. I went with basic arms for home use and I'm happy with my purchase. 6:50 that should be an encouragement to get up and do some stretches away from the chair hah
the lean forward feature is so essential for gaming and then reaching forward to adjust the goxlr, or hit the stream deck, grab a drink, basically anything like that. it's also less jolting when you scoot around to get comfortable. nice that the chair leans forward with you. i can't even go back to a chair that doesn't have this feature.
Thanks for the kind words!! Appreciate it! You started a year ago and you're already at 16k!!! If you do decide to pick up the Aeron, let me know how you like it! And please consider using my link - helps the channel a lot!!
I've gone through a considerable number of videos, probably around 30 or more, as I delve into the market for a HM chair. Your sincerity and captivating presentation style truly stood out to me. As a result, I couldn't resist hitting that like button and subscribing to your channel!
@@Ahnestly Haha, no flex intended, mate! Just living that sushi and ramen life over here. 😅 Bummer about the links, though. Keep on rocking your channel, I'll keep tuning in! 🎌✌🏾
You literally answered a lot of questions I had about those 3 specific Herman Miller chairs. Gonna check out the solo review of the Embody. I hope there will be a price drop in my region sometime. Currently it cost 1.595,00 € where I live.
The Sayl was probably the worst chair I’ve sat on. It was so uncomfortable that I started to wonder if Hm really made it. The Aeron and embody however were great! I ended up with an Aeron as I was too short for the embody. It was the best investment I’ve ever made. Got a back injury and it felt better than my bed. Helped me recover way quicker.
Props to you including the factoid about the scrim foam on the newer models of the Embody. I don't think I've seen a single other reviewer mention that, and I only found myself through a lot of research.
I can see when you finished siting review on Aeron and Sayl you get back to Embody immediately, body languages dont lie. Love your videos, and brought an Aeron based on your review.
Grats man! I was one of the people who saw the Used Aeron vid and insta subbed because of the level of insight that you offered for your chair reviews. Was even able to snag a fully loaded OG Aeron for about half of what the used market around me was going for. Great to see Herman Miller recognizing you and what you offer with your channel.
I love my Sayl chair. Didn't want to spend 1000+ for good chair. Found it in official reseller store new for like 630$ maxed out. 12 years warranty and its so comfortable. Tried embody, aeron and mirra 2 and couldn't justify double or triple the price for my purpose. But ultimate advice is that you need to try them all before buying. They are all good, but you don't know if it's good for you.
Great video! Picked up an aeron because of your videos and am saving up to get an atlas head rest to complete the chair, as I'm kind of tall and need the extra support. Your content just keeps getting better and better! Can't wait to see more!
I still have the Aeron over the Embody because of the following; -Mesh seats: (fabric is an immediate deal-breaker for me as I find it less breathable and more challenging to maintain) -Wider shoulders: (I haven't tried the Embody for too long but a quick try had me feeling that the top of the chair didn't cover enough of the width of my shoulders -Modular replacement: I can literally replace almost any individual part of the Aeron by sourcing it from so many different parties that I never have to replace the chair. Just that one part. -Price: I originally bought the Aeron for ~350 CAD years ago from a liquidator. I would have to pay 2-3X that amount to get a used Embody.
The Aeron remains the more uncomfortable chair I have ever tried and I have tried a million. The use of plastic has to stop they need to use a more rubbery material that will contour to your legs. For reference I’m 6’1 235
@@intelligence6900 Does the plastic dig into your legs? I'm curious. I'm also 6'1 but am ~180lbs. I prefer a more firm/stiff chair and don't like much give/cushion. Guessing the requirements are different if there's more mass?
@@mohamedahmed1023 the plastic digs into my thighs so bad it’s just utter pain and the seat cushion is just too hard my but was on fire for 3 days before I called it quits.
Wished you uploaded this video before the November discount! bought the sayl but with a light-coloured cushion 😅but I am really happy about buying it and videos like yours helped me in my decisions, so thank you!
Tried all of these except the Sayl - ended up going with the Cosm. Too many people pass on it because of its auto adjusting features but I love the way they work and the absolute peak design of the thing. Nightfall is also a great colorway for it.
@@Ahnestly let me know if you have any questions - it's a bit unique in how it handles staying upright or reclining based on how high you have it set, whether your feet are resting up on a footstool or on the ground, and whether you're resting against on the backrest and how much, etc. But it's super comfortable, supports my lumbar area while conforming to the rest of my body, and is hands down the best looking chair in the HM lineup in my opinion. What color and arm setup did you get? I went with Leaf Arms since they flatten out when I recline comfortably - but I also ordered the adjustable arms as a backup if I ever get tired of them (hasn't happened in the past 6 months so I don't think it will, IMO, but we'll see.)
I was looking for new chair for over year now and I tried Aeon and didn't really like it (prefer cushioned seats without sharp/hard edges). Its pretty hard to get other models here, but I would not like shape of Sayl back rest either. Embody not yet available here yet with ETA early next year. In the end I went with Accis Pro from Profim which I had chance to test last week and it was 1st chair that felt fully comfortable. On top of all usual stuff it offers pretty unique feature that allows chair seat and back to lean left and right with whole body (it can be disabled). Overall build looks better than its price suggest, It have shorter warranty, but chairs I used before anyway either got issues within 1st 1-2 years or not at all and for Herman Miller prices could buy same chair 2-3 times if needed.
Excellent review! I'm glad I've found your channel, I'm going to a dealer to try out HM chairs in a couple days and your videos have made me feel far more prepared for what to look for. I'm 6' 2" so I feel like a 3rd party headrest will be a must if I go for a Embody or Aeron
6ft 130lbs, I have a Logitech x Embody and its great! However... I REALLY need a headrest. I consume a LOT of media and notice some neck pain if I was consuming a lot of media. During work or gaming, I am completely fine (probably because I lean more forward when gaming). So, looking forward to the Atlas headrest, however I'm not too stoked about the company itself. Their site really seems to have manipulated reviews, the reviews seem real, but each product has ONLY 5* reviews. Not a single review under 5*'s. Even a perfect product will get a few 4* reviews.
I LOVE my embody...and the headrest is DEF coming. My suggestion is grab it now and return it if you don't like it before the window closes (super easy to do). If you decide to pick up, please consider using my link! Helps the channel a lot!!
I have the embody gaming chair and bought a really solid after market headrest to complete the design. I can't wait for the factory headrest and hope I can add it after the fact.
I am looking for a high quality office chair with arm rest that can move away or tilt up to make the chair feel like there are no arm rest. This is one huge functionality for guitar players. I found many cheap options on Amazon but there were several negative reviews. HM Aaron looks perfect if the Arms rest can tilt 90 degree or remove easily.
I sit in a Aeron at work. Sometimes for 4-6 hours. If you don't have meat on your butt or hips it can be a painful chair your hip bones and coccyx. I still ended getting an additional lumber support pad. Could be I'm not in the wrong size. I wasn't aware until this video.
Gamin guys, I’m a gamer, save your money with the gaming embody, the classic ones have more color and fabric padding choices. I got mine for little more than 1000. And it doesn’t make noise!
The Sayl and the Embody look a lot cooler then the Aeron (this is subjective but I think most would agree). However, I think the more plain look of the Aeron is a big advantage. People who list them for sale are less likely to know they have something expensive, and will list much cheaper.
I freaking love my Aeron. It forces me to practice good and healthy posture which makes me SIGNIFICANTLY more productive. Don’t buy this chair if all you want is comfort - better look at lazy boys or lounge chairs. The Aeron is, hands down, the best ergonomic chair I’ve had in my entire life! Hopefully mine lasts a lifetime 😆
I'm bewildered by the positive reviews on the Embody. Mine came in recently and after spending a week playing around with the settings, it's still the most uncomfortable chair I've sat in. It felt good in the showroom but at home for long periods, it beats you up. The cushion doesn't do a good job distributing weight off your tail bone so you're sore afterwards. You try to alleviate that by leaning back but then that puts pressure and numbs your butt and thighs. When you want to sit upright it doesn't have enough lumbar support. I wonder if there is some kind of trick or technique to it but this review is saying 'this is a chair good for sitting however you want'. For such a hyped chair with all these reviewers, it was a a disappointing experience
Thanks for the detailed review, but you did not mention the type of material used on the gaming version of the Sayl, which is the same as the Embody. This is not present on the non-gaming model of the chair. In addition, have seen a lot of reviews and even had a Herman Miller representative basically say that the lumbar support is worthless (not their exact words).
What I love about the embody design is that, because the back is so narrow, I can slide up really close to the desk so that my elbows can be tucked back behind the backrest.
Having been in the task chair industry for well over a decade, I can assure you that Herman Miller products are good quality, as per their warranty, but they are not good technically speaking. The design is decades old. They have heritage and respect, but if you want an excellent chair, you want the Steelcase Gesture chair.
To be fair to aeron ive never used it specifically. When i was in the navy we had chairs that look almost identical to it though and i HATED them. The mesh pulled from the frame of the seat due to constant wear from heavier armed guys the arm rests appear to be similar and were a pain in the ass to adjust. I generally hate that hard border all around the chair as a bigger guy (6'3 250lb) i will be buying the embody in the nearer future and cause of thid vid i will make sure to use your link.😊
Thank you so much for this review. It was long, but you went into such great detail for each of the chairs. I don't game, but I work from home, and truly appreciated this. I already have the Sayl non-gaming version. If you have a contact at Atlas, could you push them to create a headrest for the Sayl as well? I've seen a couple of hacks out there that have 3-D printer plans for a headrest, but I don't have a 3D printer, nor do I know anyone that does. I'd also prefer to just pay for one! :-) Keep up the great work! I appreciate your Ahnest opinions! :-)
I've owned an Embody for years but have never got it setup correctly. HM's instructions are bad and I don't really know how it should feel when set up perfecly 😭. Any tips??
I mentioned a bit in the video how to "properly" sit in the Embody. I always recommend tightening the back quite a bit but then leaving it unlocked on the first tab. Your chair should "lean back" very slightly for a more natural position versus being rigged and straight 90 degrees. As for the back flex, that's personal preference! I like mine about midway in terms of tightness
@@Ahnestly hey! Thanks for the reply! I meant that I don't know how to adjust the backfit. It's supposed to hug you and make you feel "floaty". However, I've never gotten anything other than back pain. The instructions say to adjust a certain way for curved backs and another for flat backs, but how do I even know what a curved back is? It's a bit frustrating. Your tip to slide back as you show is useful though, thanks!
@@sebascorrea97 I had back pain too with the Embody, never got it right, always slid around and slouched on it, couldn't get a good seat. Sold it after 3+ years, just ordered an Aeron
@@TheMuffinMan01 I hope the Aeron fits you well! If you have the option, don't hesitate to return it if it doesn't feel great. I've ordered a LeapV2 which should come in about 20 days. Thing is I can't return it if I hate it :(.
Is it possible to completly sit straight in the Sayl while having your back against the back rest? I need to sit straight in order to not get any backpain and for example in a lot of gaming chairs you can't sit straight while having your back against the back rest. Great videos btw. They are helping a lot.
Yes, you can sit straight up, but you may want to consider getting a non gaming Sayl and get the extra lumbar support if you feel like you want extra support! If you decide to pick up, please consider using my links as it helps my channel a LOT! Also, HM has an excellent return policy, so keep the box in case you end up not likingi t!!
@@Ahnestly I ordered the Quick Ship Coal Fern last week during the sale. The backrest intrigued me the most, super unique design. Hopefully they'll send you the chair asap.
i just bought the branch ergonomic chair but the day it came someone in my family asked if i want their classic aeron for free. i really like to sit one leg crossed legged and i will use it for gaming so i'm wondering which one is better with this info.
Hey there, I love all your video guides, and this one convinced me to grab a Sayl at some point in the near future. :) I just wanted to double-check though, which were the other two chairs that have forward-tilting other than the Sayl and the Aeron? I should probably take a look at those other two before making the purchase, just in case. Forward-tilt is really attractive to me because of occasional hip pain
i sat in the store comparing aeron & embody (preferred non-gaming embody) so i got both because i felt like i loved both and they were distinct enough several months later i really do use them about 50/50 and gf gets to use whichever i'm not feeling tend to work in the aeron more, and game or watch tv/videos in the embody hot weather = aeron cold = embody i love em both very much & your video is on point the lean on the embody is unmatched imo and with my size/shape my lower neck (kind of where it meets upper back) will push against the plastic on the aeron if im sitting with meh posture BUT i dont have the headrests for either. i think that would solve my issue on the aeron. planning to just get both the embody & aeron headrest together when embody's finally comes out
@@slimerone for me there was an actual herman miller store. if there are general furniture / office stores nearby you could call to ask if they stock them
With the embody i kind of rhink the lumbar errs on thr side of not enough, but I think its really just sbout right, i tend to like a slightly more aggressive lumbar than i need.
I find in the Aeron I tend to scoot my butt forward and end up supporting myself (poorly) on my butt and shoulders with nothing supporting the rest of my back. I wish there were a way to tilt the back backwards without adjusting the seat slant. I also wish the back would fix in a position farther forward to support my back without tilting the seat forward,
the embody is so great, but no matter how I sit, the lumbar area (and even mid area) is very uncomfortable and hard :( while the seat and upper back is very comfortable. so unfortunate.
Great video. I also love the original video about how to purchase the used Aeron. Just to confirm, HM paid for these chairs to be sent to you - no cost to you, is that correct?
Correct, they sent them to me. But I do not consider these types of videos to be sponsored, as HM does not dictate or see any of the video before I release it, so these are 100% my opinions!
I like to sit in a slouched position, kinda like a position sitting in a sofa recliner sitting position. Which chair is better for sitting slouched like a sofa recliner?
Yeah I explain that in this video - some people find it too aggressive, some find it not aggressive enough. Try sitting the way I show in the video and see if it helps!
This is a fantastic vid, Ahnestly. Well done. I am seriously looking at the Embody Gaming chair. Unfortunately, HM raised the price to a whooping $1795. This hurts the decision but I am still considering it. Any thoughts on comparable chairs (to the Gaming Embody)?

Alright here’s my question since you’ll try to answer 😂 let’s say I’m going from a Secret Lab 2022 edition to the embody, do you think I’ll notice a comfort improvement?
What a great question. I personally think you'll feel a comfort improvement (the chair flexes and has a more give on its foam layer) but then get really annoyed fast that you can't lean back like you did in the Titan Evo. Now if you could have both...
Hello - Thank you for all of your detailed videos. I'm going back and forth between the gaming Embody, the regular Emboy, and the Haworth Fern. I'm 6' 1" 205 lbs, and am looking for comfort and improved ergonomics on my "discount" chair I currently own. My largest concern with the Embody is the noise because I work in an office environment with concrete floors. I've watched multiple videos on the noise and some seem pronounced, and others do not. My concern on the Fern is the gap in the back when the seat is extended. I think with my height, that would be an issue for me, but I do like the fact that you can lean the chair forwards.
Hey! Good questions! The Embody is noisy, but only when you're stretching your back out or moving significantly in the chair. The Gaming Embody is def noisier. At 6'1, you may be OK with the seat gap in the Fern, and most people don't sit scooched all the way back in their chair (or if they do, they quickly scooch a tiny bit forward for comfort reasons). If you're concerned, I highly recommend you grab both the non gaming Embody and the Fern and return the one you don't like, esp since both are on sale right now (sale ends today 7/31 for Haworth and tomorrow 8/1 for Herman Miller). The gaming is def noisier and "louder" in terms of aesthetics for an office environment. Hope this helps and please consider using my links if you pick up! Helps the channel a LOT!!

@@Ahnestly I think I have narrowed down my preference to the Embody. Does the gaming Embody have more cushion around the lumbar region? That would be my only complaint with this chair, although I do feel like it is forcing me to sit in a better postured position.

@@nn-qb1bp Aeron has always been my favorite for the above reasons, but the mesh seat pan only breaks down slightly to where it's just a few millimeters of bounce/give that just ends of flexing down as a hard seat surface.

They have a 20% off sale going right now during Presidents Day too which is kinda rare short of Black Friday.
Hey @sshepherd (or anyone for that matter I guess) what chair would you recommend for someone close to the 7’ height? I’d get that atlas headrest too if that matters.
Just got my Embody Logitech a couple of weeks ago. I've been working in offices for the better part of 35 years now and it's the most comfortable chair I've ever used. When the Atlas headrest finally comes out, I can see myself using it as an occasional lounge chair to watch TV on. It's that comfortable. Also, and this is a question of personal taste, it makes me feel like a starship captain every time I sit on it....
They may have been caught deleting reviews. Buyer beware.
Bro I have the same chair and have the odyssey g9. DEFINITELY starship captain lol
@@vincentvillanueva6081 Lucky you 👍 I only have a G5
How does the breathability work for you? I do long hours for home office and I want a chair that doesn't warm up and get your ars all sweety.
@@danielekirylo I guess it would depend quite a bit on what ambient temperature you prefer and your own propensity to heat up. To give you my personal experience, I like to work (and game) in about 19-20 Celsius, wearing a footer and sweatpants. I'm about 5'9'', 190lbs. I often sit for a solid three hours at a time (I know, I know...) and have never experienced either excessive heating anywhere, nor any discomfort in terms of any pressure points. With the right adjustments (which took me a couple of weeks to truly tweak) though, you'll forget you're even sitting down. I paid full price and extra transport to bring it to my country (there's nowhere to buy it here) and don't regret a penny of it.
I was ready to purchase a Razr gaming chair over Thanksgiving when I saw one of your videos. At first I was shocked by the price of entry for one of the Herman Miller chairs but realized the benefits after watching some more of your videos. Needless to say it went from want to need right now, lol. The next time Herman Miller puts a sale I'll definitely purchase it through your affiliated link. Thanks for educating the masses bro. Our back and behind thank you too!
I was in a similar boat for a long time... I always saw the price and laughed. "Who is spending that much on a chair?" right? Its one of those things that once you experience it for a while, and go sit on a cheaper chair (even those 400$ gaming chairs) you *immediately* will be questioning why doesnt everyone get a herman miller lol.
Glad you are getting official recognition and potentially sponsors from herman miller themselves! You deserve the best bro, always a pleasure watching your videos.
Had an Aeron for a dozen years before passing it along to my brother... I never got super comfortable in it. The Sayl on the other hand is amazing, and I have it in Lime green/black gaming version, sooooo nice for 10 hours at the computer per day. If you work full time from home, you spend more time at your desk than in your bed, it's *well worth* spending ~$1000 to be comfortable and properly supported.
I HAD ALL 3 AND SAYL IS MY FAVOURITE
@奶粉 I’m only 5’7” so didn’t have the tall guy issues some of the 6 footers see.
@@MikeLikesChannel Did you have the Aeron size B?
I always wanted an Embody, but that Sayl looks VERY interesting. I need to find a place to try them both out.
You should def go try before buying. I bought my Embody 9 months ago, I was pretty sure I wanted to get a Mirra but after trying them all (they made me literally try every single chair in the showroom), I bought it directly. :)
Check if your area has a herman miller showroom. You probably won't be able to pick up your chair right on site but you should be able to test and see them in person
Had the aeron and the embody each one for a week (none gaming version): Aeron feels more solid, the mesh is comfortable but I hated that it force you to sit in one specific way. Cant cross legs, cant sit how i want.The aeron its possibly the best to work from home.
The embody feels great to me, at first it was really weird but once you get used to its just perfect. Love the freedom you get. Best for work AND enterteinment
No matter what you choose, make sure to try it first.
"at first it was really weird but once you get used to its just perfect" exactly how I feel about mine. so damn good!
a lot of people criticize the Aeron for not being able to sit in it however you want, but after sitting in it for a month or two, I think that's the wrong way to approach it.
it passively improves your posture because it encourages a more ergonomic sitting position. and because of this, you won't feel the need to move around as much. your body doesn't fatigue as quickly when sitting properly. I very rarely feel the need to fold my legs at all - and if I do feel the need, it's just one leg, not both.
if you don't even feel the need to change positions a lot in the first place, then changing positions a lot becomes less of a concern. that's the magic of the Aeron in my opinion. I absolutely love mine.
that being said, try these chairs for yourself if you can before committing. and thank you Ahnestly for another good video.
I own a Sayl. I love it because it helps me sit correctly when doing work but it also allows me to sit on my leg or to rest my leg on a table.
I also have this chair at my office. I hate the fully adj. arms. I went with basic arms for home use and I'm happy with my purchase.
6:50 that should be an encouragement to get up and do some stretches away from the chair hah
Spoiler for his favorite chair: He is sitting in it for 95% of the video.
LOL I am not biased in any wa....I love the Embody.
@@Ahnestly😂
the lean forward feature is so essential for gaming and then reaching forward to adjust the goxlr, or hit the stream deck, grab a drink, basically anything like that. it's also less jolting when you scoot around to get comfortable. nice that the chair leans forward with you. i can't even go back to a chair that doesn't have this feature.

You literally answered a lot of questions I had about those 3 specific Herman Miller chairs. Gonna check out the solo review of the Embody. I hope there will be a price drop in my region sometime. Currently it cost 1.595,00 € where I live.
Yeah it's about that price here in the USA as well
You earned my subscription man!!! Your explanation’s really clear and answer a lot of questions.
Thank you!!!
The Sayl was probably the worst chair I’ve sat on. It was so uncomfortable that I started to wonder if Hm really made it. The Aeron and embody however were great! I ended up with an Aeron as I was too short for the embody. It was the best investment I’ve ever made. Got a back injury and it felt better than my bed. Helped me recover way quicker.
Interesting! I'm glad you found one that fit for you!!
@@Ahnestly thanks!
How tall are you?
@@iriarte20 5,5 5,6
Props to you including the factoid about the scrim foam on the newer models of the Embody. I don't think I've seen a single other reviewer mention that, and I only found myself through a lot of research.
Glad it helped! I have a lot of eyes and ears from followers helping with this stuff!
After watching a bunch of your videos I'm so glad I found this channel. Great job
Heyyy thank you so much for the kind words and support!!
I can see when you finished siting review on Aeron and Sayl you get back to Embody immediately, body languages dont lie. Love your videos, and brought an Aeron based on your review.
Grats man! I was one of the people who saw the Used Aeron vid and insta subbed because of the level of insight that you offered for your chair reviews. Was even able to snag a fully loaded OG Aeron for about half of what the used market around me was going for. Great to see Herman Miller recognizing you and what you offer with your channel.
I currently have aeron 2 in my office and sayl at home.
SAYL all the way.
Bought an aeron with your method. I love seeing it everywhere
Nice!!
I love my Sayl chair. Didn't want to spend 1000+ for good chair. Found it in official reseller store new for like 630$ maxed out. 12 years warranty and its so comfortable. Tried embody, aeron and mirra 2 and couldn't justify double or triple the price for my purpose. But ultimate advice is that you need to try them all before buying. They are all good, but you don't know if it's good for you.
This review was excellent and full of useful information, thank you.
I'm glad you liked it!! I still remember recording this video...one of my longest shoots! I'm glad it was worth it!!!
I sold Aeron classic(c size) and bought Embody.
My height is 189cm.
Embody is more comfortable.
Great video! Picked up an aeron because of your videos and am saving up to get an atlas head rest to complete the chair, as I'm kind of tall and need the extra support. Your content just keeps getting better and better! Can't wait to see more!
I need the same thing with Steelcase chairs. Thank you, Ahnestly.
I still have the Aeron over the Embody because of the following;
-Mesh seats: (fabric is an immediate deal-breaker for me as I find it less breathable and more challenging to maintain)
-Wider shoulders: (I haven't tried the Embody for too long but a quick try had me feeling that the top of the chair didn't cover enough of the width of my shoulders
-Modular replacement: I can literally replace almost any individual part of the Aeron by sourcing it from so many different parties that I never have to replace the chair. Just that one part.
-Price: I originally bought the Aeron for ~350 CAD years ago from a liquidator. I would have to pay 2-3X that amount to get a used Embody.
Noice!!
The Aeron remains the more uncomfortable chair I have ever tried and I have tried a million. The use of plastic has to stop they need to use a more rubbery material that will contour to your legs. For reference I’m 6’1 235
@@intelligence6900 Does the plastic dig into your legs? I'm curious. I'm also 6'1 but am ~180lbs. I prefer a more firm/stiff chair and don't like much give/cushion. Guessing the requirements are different if there's more mass?
@@mohamedahmed1023 the plastic digs into my thighs so bad it’s just utter pain and the seat cushion is just too hard my but was on fire for 3 days before I called it quits.
Wished you uploaded this video before the November discount! bought the sayl but with a light-coloured cushion 😅but I am really happy about buying it and videos like yours helped me in my decisions, so thank you!
Tried all of these except the Sayl - ended up going with the Cosm. Too many people pass on it because of its auto adjusting features but I love the way they work and the absolute peak design of the thing. Nightfall is also a great colorway for it.
Nice! I’m getting mine february (shipping delays are real!). Can’t wait to review
@@Ahnestly let me know if you have any questions - it's a bit unique in how it handles staying upright or reclining based on how high you have it set, whether your feet are resting up on a footstool or on the ground, and whether you're resting against on the backrest and how much, etc. But it's super comfortable, supports my lumbar area while conforming to the rest of my body, and is hands down the best looking chair in the HM lineup in my opinion. What color and arm setup did you get? I went with Leaf Arms since they flatten out when I recline comfortably - but I also ordered the adjustable arms as a backup if I ever get tired of them (hasn't happened in the past 6 months so I don't think it will, IMO, but we'll see.)
my friend convinced me to get the fire red lol. Fully loaded with leaf arms
You reviewed the first 2 chairs and chose to remain seated in the embody. Tells me everything 😂
Hahahaha love it.
Got the Embody. Love it so far. Just had to fine tune the settings
Yeah some tweaking required!
This channel is so underrated
Great video !
Heyyy thank you so much for the kind words!!
I was looking for new chair for over year now and I tried Aeon and didn't really like it (prefer cushioned seats without sharp/hard edges). Its pretty hard to get other models here, but I would not like shape of Sayl back rest either. Embody not yet available here yet with ETA early next year.
In the end I went with Accis Pro from Profim which I had chance to test last week and it was 1st chair that felt fully comfortable. On top of all usual stuff it offers pretty unique feature that allows chair seat and back to lean left and right with whole body (it can be disabled). Overall build looks better than its price suggest, It have shorter warranty, but chairs I used before anyway either got issues within 1st 1-2 years or not at all and for Herman Miller prices could buy same chair 2-3 times if needed.
Excellent review! I'm glad I've found your channel, I'm going to a dealer to try out HM chairs in a couple days and your videos have made me feel far more prepared for what to look for. I'm 6' 2" so I feel like a 3rd party headrest will be a must if I go for a Embody or Aeron
Niceee!!
6ft 130lbs, I have a Logitech x Embody and its great! However... I REALLY need a headrest. I consume a LOT of media and notice some neck pain if I was consuming a lot of media. During work or gaming, I am completely fine (probably because I lean more forward when gaming). So, looking forward to the Atlas headrest, however I'm not too stoked about the company itself. Their site really seems to have manipulated reviews, the reviews seem real, but each product has ONLY 5* reviews. Not a single review under 5*'s. Even a perfect product will get a few 4* reviews.
130lbs? Damn lol.
@@frostybe3r I know, built like a tank.
@@CloudyDeveloper "tank" sound more like a damn mini, lol
can not wait for the embody headrest!
So close to buying the embody with the current deal but I just can’t get over the fact it doesn’t have a headrest. Hope atlas makes the release soon
I LOVE my embody...and the headrest is DEF coming. My suggestion is grab it now and return it if you don't like it before the window closes (super easy to do). If you decide to pick up, please consider using my link! Helps the channel a lot!!
so underrated. greetings from germany
Another one from Deutschland! Mein Freund! Danke Schoen!!
@@Ahnestly haha :)
I have the embody gaming chair and bought a really solid after market headrest to complete the design. I can't wait for the factory headrest and hope I can add it after the fact.
I completely agree that the lumbar support is lacking on the Embody as opposed to the Aeron. (for reference I'm 194cm weighing 85kg)
Wish I had the money for one of these. Great video dude thank you man.
You do an EXCELLENT job reviewing. I feel like most reviews follow a basic pattern but somehow yours feels more genuine and real. Great job!
Hey thank you so much!! Really appreciate it!
I am looking for a high quality office chair with arm rest that can move away or tilt up to make the chair feel like there are no arm rest. This is one huge functionality for guitar players. I found many cheap options on Amazon but there were several negative reviews. HM Aaron looks perfect if the Arms rest can tilt 90 degree or remove easily.
I ordered the gaming embody, it's on it's way, can't wait to try it and get rid of this old rigid walmart chair I got many years ago lol
I sit in a Aeron at work. Sometimes for 4-6 hours. If you don't have meat on your butt or hips it can be a painful chair your hip bones and coccyx. I still ended getting an additional lumber support pad. Could be I'm not in the wrong size. I wasn't aware until this video.
I don't think my butt is particularly meaty, but I love my Aeron!! But different strokes for different folks!!
Thanks for the video, I just used your link under the video to buy my embody!
I think the Mirra 2 is the best Herman Miller "gaming chair". :)
I plan to check it out, but it's gonna be a while!
Gamin guys, I’m a gamer, save your money with the gaming embody, the classic ones have more color and fabric padding choices. I got mine for little more than 1000. And it doesn’t make noise!
The Sayl and the Embody look a lot cooler then the Aeron (this is subjective but I think most would agree). However, I think the more plain look of the Aeron is a big advantage. People who list them for sale are less likely to know they have something expensive, and will list much cheaper.
Simpler, yes, but the Aeron is a modern design classic.
I freaking love my Aeron. It forces me to practice good and healthy posture which makes me SIGNIFICANTLY more productive. Don’t buy this chair if all you want is comfort - better look at lazy boys or lounge chairs. The Aeron is, hands down, the best ergonomic chair I’ve had in my entire life! Hopefully mine lasts a lifetime 😆
yep, same here. bought mine a month ago and haven't looked back.
Can you guys sit in here for a couple of hours??
I'm bewildered by the positive reviews on the Embody. Mine came in recently and after spending a week playing around with the settings, it's still the most uncomfortable chair I've sat in. It felt good in the showroom but at home for long periods, it beats you up. The cushion doesn't do a good job distributing weight off your tail bone so you're sore afterwards. You try to alleviate that by leaning back but then that puts pressure and numbs your butt and thighs. When you want to sit upright it doesn't have enough lumbar support. I wonder if there is some kind of trick or technique to it but this review is saying 'this is a chair good for sitting however you want'. For such a hyped chair with all these reviewers, it was a a disappointing experience
I had a similar issue. Just got Aeron, its best.
Thanks for the detailed review, but you did not mention the type of material used on the gaming version of the Sayl, which is the same as the Embody. This is not present on the non-gaming model of the chair. In addition, have seen a lot of reviews and even had a Herman Miller representative basically say that the lumbar support is worthless (not their exact words).
Ordered the Aeron Gaming due to the breathability of the mesh, cant wait for it to arrive!
woot woot!!
How is it? Any updates 10 months later?
What I love about the embody design is that, because the back is so narrow, I can slide up really close to the desk so that my elbows can be tucked back behind the backrest.
Having been in the task chair industry for well over a decade, I can assure you that Herman Miller products are good quality, as per their warranty, but they are not good technically speaking. The design is decades old. They have heritage and respect, but if you want an excellent chair, you want the Steelcase Gesture chair.
bro you get a like for that donut break 😂thanks for the review
Thank you!!!
To be fair to aeron ive never used it specifically. When i was in the navy we had chairs that look almost identical to it though and i HATED them. The mesh pulled from the frame of the seat due to constant wear from heavier armed guys the arm rests appear to be similar and were a pain in the ass to adjust. I generally hate that hard border all around the chair as a bigger guy (6'3 250lb) i will be buying the embody in the nearer future and cause of thid vid i will make sure to use your link.😊
Thanks for this great overview! Would love to see a comparison of the mid-century leather models!
The Aeron is also presented in Two and A Half Men as Charlie's computer chair.
great video thanks. really wish you the best of success. loving ur content.
I own an Aeron, and I must say a headrest would be great but not ideal for tasking which is the hole point for an Aeron
The headrest is so good you can pull it out of the way and then use it when you're leaning back!
@@Ahnestly I still want on 😁 Do they ship to the UK?
My Sayl comes in later this week! My back is gonna thank me as i had a $200 chair before haha
Thank you so much for this review. It was long, but you went into such great detail for each of the chairs. I don't game, but I work from home, and truly appreciated this. I already have the Sayl non-gaming version. If you have a contact at Atlas, could you push them to create a headrest for the Sayl as well? I've seen a couple of hacks out there that have 3-D printer plans for a headrest, but I don't have a 3D printer, nor do I know anyone that does. I'd also prefer to just pay for one! :-) Keep up the great work! I appreciate your Ahnest opinions! :-)
I've owned an Embody for years but have never got it setup correctly. HM's instructions are bad and I don't really know how it should feel when set up perfecly 😭. Any tips??
I mentioned a bit in the video how to "properly" sit in the Embody. I always recommend tightening the back quite a bit but then leaving it unlocked on the first tab. Your chair should "lean back" very slightly for a more natural position versus being rigged and straight 90 degrees. As for the back flex, that's personal preference! I like mine about midway in terms of tightness
@@Ahnestly hey! Thanks for the reply!
I meant that I don't know how to adjust the backfit. It's supposed to hug you and make you feel "floaty". However, I've never gotten anything other than back pain. The instructions say to adjust a certain way for curved backs and another for flat backs, but how do I even know what a curved back is? It's a bit frustrating.
Your tip to slide back as you show is useful though, thanks!
@@sebascorrea97 I had back pain too with the Embody, never got it right, always slid around and slouched on it, couldn't get a good seat. Sold it after 3+ years, just ordered an Aeron
@@TheMuffinMan01 I hope the Aeron fits you well! If you have the option, don't hesitate to return it if it doesn't feel great. I've ordered a LeapV2 which should come in about 20 days. Thing is I can't return it if I hate it :(.
Wish you could've showcased more of the new cushion headrest on the Aeron
Will make a video on it!
I got an aeron and found a mesh ottoman that’s similarly color matched and sit in it like a lounge chair lol
Is it possible to completly sit straight in the Sayl while having your back against the back rest? I need to sit straight in order to not get any backpain and for example in a lot of gaming chairs you can't sit straight while having your back against the back rest. Great videos btw. They are helping a lot.
Yes, you can sit straight up, but you may want to consider getting a non gaming Sayl and get the extra lumbar support if you feel like you want extra support!

Would love to see you review the Haworth Fern. Looks pretty interesting.
Haworth has been super backed up...trying to get them to send me the chair already!
@@Ahnestly I ordered the Quick Ship Coal Fern last week during the sale. The backrest intrigued me the most, super unique design. Hopefully they'll send you the chair asap.

You’re welcome!!!
i just bought the branch ergonomic chair but the day it came someone in my family asked if i want their classic aeron for free. i really like to sit one leg crossed legged and i will use it for gaming so i'm wondering which one is better with this info.
Tell them to send me one bro 😭😭😭😭 I cant find none second hand here in the uk lmao Great video btw
Haha there is a hermanmiller EU though!
Awesome comparison thanks for your effort
Hey there, I love all your video guides, and this one convinced me to grab a Sayl at some point in the near future. :) I just wanted to double-check though, which were the other two chairs that have forward-tilting other than the Sayl and the Aeron? I should probably take a look at those other two before making the purchase, just in case.
Forward-tilt is really attractive to me because of occasional hip pain
i sat in the store comparing aeron & embody (preferred non-gaming embody) so i got both because i felt like i loved both and they were distinct enough
several months later i really do use them about 50/50 and gf gets to use whichever i'm not feeling
tend to work in the aeron more, and game or watch tv/videos in the embody
hot weather = aeron
cold = embody
i love em both very much & your video is on point
the lean on the embody is unmatched imo and with my size/shape my lower neck (kind of where it meets upper back) will push against the plastic on the aeron if im sitting with meh posture
BUT i dont have the headrests for either. i think that would solve my issue on the aeron. planning to just get both the embody & aeron headrest together when embody's finally comes out
Which store can you go test these out at? Can't seem to find any around me
@@slimerone for me there was an actual herman miller store. if there are general furniture / office stores nearby you could call to ask if they stock them
@@VinnyMeller ty
With the embody i kind of rhink the lumbar errs on thr side of not enough, but I think its really just sbout right, i tend to like a slightly more aggressive lumbar than i need.
great review! thanks
I find in the Aeron I tend to scoot my butt forward and end up supporting myself (poorly) on my butt and shoulders with nothing supporting the rest of my back. I wish there were a way to tilt the back backwards without adjusting the seat slant. I also wish the back would fix in a position farther forward to support my back without tilting the seat forward,
Yeah I hear ya. This one is a tough one though - the only chairs that have it are race car style gaming chairs
Love the video. You got a new sub
Amazing video!
Thank you for this video ♥️ Gonna sell my steelcase leap chair for an aeron.
the embody is so great, but no matter how I sit, the lumbar area (and even mid area) is very uncomfortable and hard :( while the seat and upper back is very comfortable. so unfortunate.
Herman Miller customer support said they're not planning on making a Size A for the Aeron gaming :( there's short gamers like me too
:( get a non gaming Aeron in the light gray. That’s my favorite color of all the aerons!
Have you tried the Haworth Fern? If so, how does it compare to the Embody?
Great video. I also love the original video about how to purchase the used Aeron. Just to confirm, HM paid for these chairs to be sent to you - no cost to you, is that correct?
Correct, they sent them to me. But I do not consider these types of videos to be sponsored, as HM does not dictate or see any of the video before I release it, so these are 100% my opinions!
this was great, thank u
I like to sit in a slouched position, kinda like a position sitting in a sofa recliner sitting position. Which chair is better for sitting slouched like a sofa recliner?
Is it normal if the lumbar support on the embody sticks into you? Feels uncomfortable
Yeah I explain that in this video - some people find it too aggressive, some find it not aggressive enough. Try sitting the way I show in the video and see if it helps!
This is a fantastic vid, Ahnestly. Well done. I am seriously looking at the Embody Gaming chair. Unfortunately, HM raised the price to a whooping $1795. This hurts the decision but I am still considering it. Any thoughts on comparable chairs (to the Gaming Embody)?
Jay! Check the description. HM is having a 15% off New Years sale! If you decide to pick up, please consider using my link as it helps this channel a LOT!
Alright here’s my question since you’ll try to answer 😂 let’s say I’m going from a Secret Lab 2022 edition to the embody, do you think I’ll notice a comfort improvement?
What a great question. I personally think you'll feel a comfort improvement (the chair flexes and has a more give on its foam layer) but then get really annoyed fast that you can't lean back like you did in the Titan Evo. Now if you could have both...
yea. anything would be an improvement.
I work at a computer on a 4x gel mesh serta oversized recliner. The chairs you're showing seem like implements of torture to me.
What's the latest update for the HM Logitech Embody headrest from Atlas?
What about Mirra 2? Nobody is doing good reviews of it. I was considering it since Aeron feels a little too expensive.
I plan to check it out but have a lot of projects coming up!
A very important section is missing - which one is the best if you have cats?
Embody holds cat hair the most
Hello - Thank you for all of your detailed videos. I'm going back and forth between the gaming Embody, the regular Emboy, and the Haworth Fern. I'm 6' 1" 205 lbs, and am looking for comfort and improved ergonomics on my "discount" chair I currently own. My largest concern with the Embody is the noise because I work in an office environment with concrete floors. I've watched multiple videos on the noise and some seem pronounced, and others do not. My concern on the Fern is the gap in the back when the seat is extended. I think with my height, that would be an issue for me, but I do like the fact that you can lean the chair forwards.
Hey! Good questions! The Embody is noisy, but only when you're stretching your back out or moving significantly in the chair. The Gaming Embody is def noisier. At 6'1, you may be OK with the seat gap in the Fern, and most people don't sit scooched all the way back in their chair (or if they do, they quickly scooch a tiny bit forward for comfort reasons). If you're concerned, I highly recommend you grab both the non gaming Embody and the Fern and return the one you don't like, esp since both are on sale right now (sale ends today 7/31 for Haworth and tomorrow 8/1 for Herman Miller). The gaming is def noisier and "louder" in terms of aesthetics for an office environment. Hope this helps and please consider using my links if you pick up! Helps the channel a LOT!!
Where are the links to order the chairs? I am going to order both chairs as you suggested.

@@Ahnestly Your reviews are VERY thorough. I never felt like they were biased, and I appreciate your effort to assist me!
@@Ahnestly I think I have narrowed down my preference to the Embody. Does the gaming Embody have more cushion around the lumbar region? That would be my only complaint with this chair, although I do feel like it is forcing me to sit in a better postured position.

Hey Ahnestly! What‘s the main difference between a normal Embody and Logitech Embody?
