    Not being able to cross your legs is a positive, given its bad for your circulation. I think overall the inflexibility of the chair is kinda the point, its to force you to maintain a good posture. At least this my hope as I'm considering getting one.

      Very valid point. This is part of the reason I do still love the Aeron. I like that it keeps me in a great ergo position. The truth is... sometimes I want to kick back and relax in my chair, and the limited seating positions can be a problem. - RG

    Besides the cross leg seating (which is still somewhat possible for me on the C as a 6' person), I dont see any others being an issue really. I opted to go for the aeron instead of the embody because of longevity and dont regret my decision (after testing both).
    My biggest complaint I have is that the armrest dont lock in place hard enough. If I'm moving in/out of the chair or just moving the chair and I end up holding the arm rest, they will adjust (depth and width) involuntarily.

    The Aeron Remastered and the Classic are both really amazing. Cannot beat the recline and the adjustability of just about every aspect of what’s important for tasking or relaxing. Getting a Remastered on sale is the key to feeling even better about the choice if you’re going that route.

    I had 2 Areon chairs for years thinking it was the best chair. After years my lower back started hurting, didn't even consider it was my Aeron at Home, and at the office. Then the day came when we were moving our office to a different location and I saw the Herman Miller Embody Gaming chair thought it was cool so I bought 2 of them for clients that came into my new office for a visit, since our new office was not quite ready had the Embody chairs delivered to my house, well one thing lead to another and I used one of the Embody chairs at my office at my house, and within a day or two my back pain started going away, here we are 2 weeks later and the pain in my lower back is almost gone, and so are my 2 Aeron Chairs 1 went to Goodwill, and the other I sold cheap just to get rid of it. Never looking back

    Alright I am 35, 173cm/5'8 75kg-165lbs and I've got minor scolioses and genetic lower back problems and I work and play and I live at my computer..
    I went to a store today to try out the Aeron and the Embody chair.. and I must say I do not get why the Emody Chair supposed to be so good.
    My main problem with the chair is the lumber support. it is very pointy and aggressive and takes away the rest of the chair that gives you that lounge feeling. If the lumber would be adjustable then that chair would change my whole mind. But the choice of automatic lumber adjustment is wrong for the design imo.
    The Aeron chair in the other way felt so perfect! And even thought it is mesh and a bit more stiff then cushioned.. you can't compare the mesh of the Aeron with most of the other chairs (at least the ones I've tried). Exaclty as he says in the video, you feel floaty and actually quite sink into the chair but it really gives you the support youy would need if you got a bad back.
    I can see how I would not like the chair because I usually take my foot up a lot! But tbh that is just becasue the chait I am sitting in is just to big... I've got a racing chair atm and that is what gives me huge problems when I do it to long in my lower back quickly and aggresive. SO imo you should not buy a chair where you are possible to get weird positions like that.
    If I would get a chair where I can sit like he suggested I would get a Titan or something where you got all the space to get in to your positions as you please.. but I am very sure that 99% of the people who love the Titan chair are people who are blessed with a healthier back.
    BUT because of this video I am going the next days to another shop to try out the Steelcase chairs. I am still not quite comfy with Herman Millers prices but will invest in one if the Steelcases are no good.
    This channel is blessed for what they do and they helped me more then anything or anyone related to office chairs. But you have to consider too that YOU HAVE TO TRY OUT THE CHAIR and if you don't live in the USA as I do, the nyou have quite less options a need to check warrenties again for your country.
    Usually you will pay exxtra somwhere becasue we have to send in our chairs or parts to the USA.

    I love stays with my legs crossed and with one leg underneath until I started having varicose veins. That was the reason I developed them. So, as comfortable as that is, avoid that ffor the sake of your veins.

    Btw got the atlas headrest 4 days ago and all I can say is WOW. The fit and finish make it look like it is OEM. Bonus is it makes the chair look “balanced” if you know what I mean. Always thought my embody looked like it was missing something. Now it looks and feels end game.

      @@StardustLegacyFighter But from an ergonomics perspective, if you need to rest your head you should actually get out of your chair and rest and not just stay in it, so headrests are not part of the science of ergonomics. Therefore, for the highest quality of this Atlas to be made, it does not matter why it is wrong. It's funny to be suggested. hahahaha

    • @StardustLegacyFighter
      @StardustLegacyFighter ปีที่แล้ว

      @jpSobhi Yeah, I think that's Herman Miller's stance on headrests, too.
      I personally don't use one with my Aeron, and I've never really felt the need to have one.
      However, a lot of ppl prefer to kick back and relax in their chairs, so for those individuals, it's perfectly fine to recommend Atlas headrests.
      Steelcase sell a solid built-in headrest with the Gesture, and they do follow the Science of ergonomics with research backed evidence.

The embody on the other hand is just the best office chair i ever tried by some margin. The warranty on the chairs alone is worth a lot. I got multiple parts replaced with no cost at all over the years.

    I couldn't disagree with you more! If Life were Perfect then nothing would break but Life is not Perfect! However, I've had my Size A Herman Miller Aeron Chair for close to 30 years! The first one broke when my 6'4" cousin sat in mysmall size chair and leaned all the way back! Since it was within the 12 year warranty, Herman Miller immediately replaced my chair with a brain new chair and I've had it ever since! Knock on wood, not one problem and I use it everyday for long periods of time. I have a bad back and spend a lot of time in this chair doing computer graphics and I couldn't be more pleased ! I couldn't walk away so easily and freely if I spent that much time in any other chair. That's my experience!

      That could be due to bad posture on your part. If you're not used to sitting upright the lumbar support really hurts at the start. You'll get used to it within a week though and it's so much better for you. I work at the PC a lot and started to get shoulder issues, after buying my Aeron they went away just as quick as I got used to the posture.
