Herman Miller Embody chair: negative Experience after 6 weeks of daily use (8-10h/day)

Unfortunately thats just how it goes for chairs.... everyone's body is different and its simply not possible to make an ergonomic chair that works for everyone. I have an Embody after trying the Steelcase Gesture and Haworth Fern, and I hated those other chairs. The Embody is the only chair thats ev

How are you liking the chair?

I’ve had the Steelcase Gesture (seat feels practically unpadded after a couple months), the Embody Gaming (returned after two weeks, miserably painful for me), and now have the Liber Novo for a few weeks and absolutely love it. No pain, the lumbar adjustment is great, seat padding is plush, and the

Best Office Chair Brand Right Now In 2026?

HM Embody or Steelcase Gesture. HM-E for WFH & SC-G for Office. As someone with back issues, I personally do enjoy the embody more, my only con is the arm rests could be a bit more adjustable like the Gesture. Otherwise the seat while it looks 'flat' the springs underneath have amazing support. IMO,

Herman miller vs Steelcase?

Best you can do is read reviews pick one and try it out and return if you don’t like it. For example. I’m 6’1” and 210lbs with a more athletic build. I tried all the steelcase ones at a dealer and my boss had a Herman miller aeron I tried. I HATED the aeron, gesture and amia. The leap on the other h

Need advice on a few options fern, aeron, mirra 2

I think just the seat is leather/pleather- based on photos- but I second your warning about leatherback ferns. I’ve sat in the vegan leather seat and liked it though it did get a bit warm. My understanding is that the leather backs can have more issues with stretching/and remaining securely fit to t

Got a Steelcase Gesture like new from an office supply store for 600, but i’m not loving it…

ngl i fought the same battle with the gesture at 6'3". that lumbar is brutal when you slouch. the leap v2 actually works better for gremlin posture because the back flexes with you instead of digging in. i’d say return it for store credit and grab a Steelcase Leap V2 if they have one. skip the bucke

Comparing the most talked about chairs in each category

I'm 6'3'' 260 lbs for reference. I've owned the Steelcase Gesture V1 almost since it's launched. Also have owned a Secretlab Titan Evo for a while as well and have used both quite extensively at my home desk. I've recently purchased a Elabest x100 for my in-office chair and just the the Herman Mille

Steelcase Leap v2 is not for me, what next?

Omg, reading this post felt like a mirror. I have very similar body height and, in my opinion more importantly, weight as you. I tried both the Leap v2 and Gesture but suffer from the exact same problem of the lumbar feeling too pronounced and getting sciatica pain in my right leg. It feels so nice

Tak ano ak ti vydrzala 8 rokov tak ti HM netreba..
