Overpriced - Yes. I bought my Embody on sale directly from Herman Miller for 1k with all the extras. This was in 2016, I get inflation but the new price is beyond inflation. The same chair I purchased in 2016 for $1050 is now $2020.

Over-hyped - I still don't think so. Due to life happening, at a young age I've always had lower back pain. Sitting down in an office chair never helped either. I researched Embody and decided to pull the trigger on it seven years ago. After adjusting I've never felt back pain sitting down, at least not in this chair. I used to work at an office and sat in multiple chairs depending which office/conference room I was visiting and every chair made my back eventually hurt. A lot of these chairs were very expensive as well. Plenty of online reviews comparing chairs, mostly all reviewers agree Embody chair is great.

I work from home now, and the only thing I would like to have on my Embody is a headrest. Luckily "Atlas Headrests" have made a headrest for it. I'm just waiting for mine to eventually ship.

Would I buy an Embody again? Yes. Would I wait for a bigger sale before buying one? Maybe

Herman Miller isn't the only bad guy here when it comes to over inflating cost, Steel Case has done the very same thing. The Haworth Fern does seem like an interesting option.

You can't reference other cash back sites in your post OP. Just an FYI slickdeals doesn't respond positively

Is this cheap or is it better to still call up my local dealer?

I'm going for it. Really wish I could compare the Embody/Gesture/Fern in person, but no such showroom exists near me. The refurbished Steelcase Gesture deal on the front page right now is intriguing, but I'm not particularly enthused about dealing with returns/warranty from a 3rd party refurbisher on a chair that costs almost as much as my mortgage.

At least this deal offers a relatively hassle-free 30-day return policy straight from the manufacturer, and the 12-year warranty should be irrefutable. If the Embody doesn't change my life, I'll send it back and try the Gesture/Fern next time.

overpriced/ over-hyped, had an Aeron and was not impressed at all the fabric was itchy, lumbar support mediocre, the marketing hype machine is akin to Dyson or Apple products but the lemmings will follow

I have both of the G gaming embody and regular embody. Personally regular is much comfortable even if G embody chair looks it has more cushion.
