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.

I picked up a fully loaded Haworth Fern for a similar price and it has been amazing. Check it out if you're in the market for a high end chair.
Embody is fine, but still firmly think it's hype. No doubt.
If you got the cash, don't feel like shopping around and finding something better, go for it
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.
As someone who has had back surgery, I've sat in and used a lot of the usual chairs that are mentioned in this price range and it's crazy how different all of them are. I wasn't that impressed with the Embody. It felt cheap, especially the arms. But I had a Leap V2 at the time and the arms on that spoiled me. I ended up returning the Leap as I felt the seat wasn't comfortable (Crandle Office's refurbs with the added cushioning sounds very promising) the lumbar support was subpar and because of how the back is shaped, it didn't support my shoulders at all.
The Aeron felt pretty darn good, but being 6'2, I didn't get any shoulder support. Didn't matter the size. Lumbar support was phenomenal (the old bar one) though!
The Gesture has been my favorite so far. The arms on that are easily the best on the market. The seat may give you issues though. Like the Leap, I just don't feel a lot of support. I'd probably skip the lumbar, as I don't feel it does much. And I didn't want to take a chance on the headrest, though a lot of people say it's good!
I think the Fern will be next on my list to try. Cause the flexibility the back has really really intrigues me!
Sorry for the long-winded reply lol. Let us know how you like the chair!
the recline on the embody seemed steeper than most chairs i tried, but i don't lean back when i sit. i sit straight up until i'm done using the computer. so this was not a benefit for me.
maybe i'm missing something, or maybe i don't know how to use a chair? but it seems to me like this is mostly marketing. after trying the embody, i wouldn't spend $250. and i definitely wouldn't spend nearly $1400. that's just crazy.

Herman Miller is not one of those things. I love Herman Miller chairs, still can't afford it though. Mainly because I'm a nomad. But if I was planning on keeping a chair for years, Herman Miller would be on my shortlist. Nice to see a deal. Thanks OP.
Honestly, the CEO Andy Owen seems slightly off, micro-unhinged, if you will, in the manner she's attempting to 'rally' her employees online.
