Anyone bought the herman miller embody? Quite a few sellers in sg and there is the Logitech edition.

It's very sketchy of companies to provide "extended warranty" to customers who post or tag pictures to social media accounts.

For new prospective customers, it'll look like many many people are buying such chairs, which is sleazy as heck.

many other brands do this too... cannot underestimate the power of social media.. say only the good things..

Been using it for few years. Recently bought their head rest, no regrets with this chair.

Embody has no forward tilt which I think is very important for posture for me.

How much did you pay for it and from which seller? Looking at Embody, and Haworth Fern. Fern is like almost 3x cheaper

Hello, thinking of getting either Ergotune V3 or Hinomi H1 pro. Managed to demo both and didn't feel much difference, may be Hinomi has a bit more aggressive lumber thingy going on and a plus on foot rest. Although both seem sturdy, most parts are built pretty much in plastic. Similar warranty period and cost. Which one could be better? Please don't say HM cuz no way I'm buying 2nd hand (a germaphobe) and do not wish to spend more than 500. If there is something else better and below 500, I'm all ear. Thanks!

Haworth Zody is probably going on sale for about $500-$600. Very well reviewed chair, 12 year warranty from one of the largest brands, can't really go wrong with that.

Of course you should go and test out the chair yourself.

The armrest peeled for me once within the warranty which was I think 2/3 years. After that the replacement also peeled so it's just not a right climate to be used unless you're in aircon 24/7.

I guess that's why they changed the armpads on the Zody 2 to the one used on the Fern. But the new one is no where near his $500 price limit.

Haworth sells the armpads replacement parts, I think Taobao and Shopee also sells some OEM ones.

Damn, this is tempting, just not sure how heat sweat and dust trap does the seat will subject to. Sitting on a used aeron for many years, still like the fact of the airyness of the mesh

I’m not sure but I don’t like the feel of the Aeron. Leap of faith, ordered the Fern to try, embody is too expensive.

Peeling reminds me of Secretlab

i was considering these two to replace my osim uthrone massage chair (felt like a good idea when i bought it only to underutilize the massage function). i settled for hinomi h1 pro because it cost $423 after discounts on lazada. cheaper than ergotune after discounts. happy customer for now.

Hi,

do you know if this is the Zody 2 or the older version?
Lazada only shows as High performance whatever it means.

Should be the older version judging from the shape of the armpads. Zody 2's armpads are similar to the Fern.

 

[compuser]

The cosm has very basic functions and if you going to get their tall back version, it's a hit or miss whether the fit is right.

 

[Deceased]

i think for Embody only the balance material wont be so hot.. the rest i think will be too warm..
looking at their Mirra 2 or COSM instead cos they are mesh...

any thoughts.

U go try balance first then say. Balance is the least fav (ugly and hard to upkeep). Sync to me is better overall.

 

[Armourdillo]

Leap V2 will be too hot for SG weather? I don't use aircon so I scared the cushion will be too hot.

If just fan, mesh route the best option?

 

[GotBetrayed]

Haworth CSO confirmed that their zody is zody 1, zody 2 mesh will come in oct, digital knit Dec 2023.

Fern digital knit will be in 2024. My other Fern will come next Monday, the chair is so good. 833 now after Lazada coupons. Think 1 herman miller embody price = 3 Ferns, hard to swallow the HM pill.
