I got my job to buy my Embody during WFH pandemic since our office was stocked with them and Aerons. I used to have major back problems from my old chair and I can't emphasize this enough: they disappeared within a month of getting this chair.

I'd honestly buy one myself retail if I had to. Yeah it's expensive and people can use that as an excuse not to like it but it is in fact legit properly designed. The way I look at it is like mattresses: you spend 1/3 your life on one so it's worth the investment. If you work at desk, that's another sizable percentage of your life so why not invest accordingly?

As a funny related note, I did end up getting the gaming version of the Logitech x Embody because by some fluke it was slightly cheaper than the standard model at the time. I've sat in both and definitely like the fabric feel and slightly extra padding of the Logitech model. Also teal and black/grey are my favorite color combo without looking overly "gamer".
