Hadn’t heard of this and looked it up because numerous people in this thread mentioned it. Is it really that good? Looks like a mesh back chair. I typically strongly prefer padded back when possible.
Idk, I have one at work, and it’s fine. But nothing special. I don’t know why everyone loves them. I have an Ikea chair at home and it honestly feels about the same.
I hate mesh chairs. They’re always freezing and never have enough support.
I have two ergoCentric Executive chairs, one in my office that work purchased after having me try out chairs and one at home that I bought myself because that chair is fucking comfy as hell. Fabric, padded, and comfy.
It’s not just how comfortable it is (that’s a bit of a personal preference), but office chairs like the HM Aeron and competing models come with a good warranty, very long availability of parts, …
HM offers a 12 year warranty on the complete chair, even when used 24h a day. Those are made to last and stay comfortable.
The Aeron is also known for having a great reclining mechanism.
The embody is much better and is actually their more popular chair. We have two of them. One I just bought brand new for my wife and she loves it. The other I’ve had for several years and I got it for free from an old boss.
I’ve had a refurb one for 8 years now and like it. I sit in it every day for multiple hours but it’s meant to force you into an ergonomic position. The mesh feels good but the added benefit is that it is much much easier to clean than a pad.

I’ve used it a lot and hate it, padded back is better especially in high back
