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.

Quote from Eragorn :
Have the Embody Gaming and really like it - that said I def didn't pay anywhere near the MSRP. If you're around LA the Design Within Reach outlet location in Oxnard has all of Herman Miller stuff for about half off but without warranties/final sale. I only paid $800 for mine after tax back in 2020 and don't regret it.
Good info about that outlet, but LA to Oxnard is between 60-70 miles which is 90 min in traffic one way. No way I'll drive 3 hours round trip for a chair.

FYI, if you can get an Aeron from a Design Within Reach warehouse (~$700ish) with the PostureFit SL, it'll probably be better than the Embody if you sit for longer stretches.

Reason why I'd recommend an Aeron over the Embody is that the Aeron has the mesh for better ventilation. I've tried both and went with the Aeron.

Most definitely over hyped! Don't believe ANYONE saying it's worth 1800, or even 1200!

Bought it back in 2017 for $550. Barely worth that price.

Herd mentality NEVER stope surprising me.

It's not even the best. Think about how varied we are as humans, body to body. A single model cannot be universally acclaimed for comfort... Certainly NOT a chair design to contour. Design for Lounging is something different and can be more inclined to universal appeal.

If it satisfies you because your brain won't nag you any more wondering about it, that is fine and we've all been there. However, do not say it's not over hyped! Hog wash!
I'm surprised you're not in the negative with your rep because of this post. This site is the ultimate herd mentality playground. Look at the guy praising the chair irrespective of price; got like 380 upvotes lmao

I still think the embody is the best office chair out there, but the CEO is inhuman.

Still not giving a penny of my money to a company whose CEO is such an arrogant piece of trash. If she leaves, I'd reconsider.

I got both Aeron and Embody during blackfriday. Hated Aeron not comfortable at all. Embody is awesome, super comfortable just not sure its worth 1400.

Steelcae gesture is smaller and being 6'3, wasn't for me. Again, bought mine at 550, and definitely wouldn't buy it anymore than that. NO WAY!
