Features
-Adjustable Back Rest
According to Herman Miller, the most important part of this chair is the back rest which he claims as a “matrix of pixels which creates a dynamic seat and back surfaces that automatically conform to your every movement and distribute your weight evenly”. Consequently, this generates various health benefits like helping blood circulation, stress reduction, lower heart rate and improves your posture. Also, the chair has a narrow back rest thereby allowing maximum movement of your arms without much hindrance and adding further to your level of comfort.
-Working recline Posture
This chair encourages a healthy posture and the working recline slows fluid loss from discs as well as reduces the compression of the spine.
-Back rest which mimics the spine
The reason why this chair is capable of supporting all of your movements and shifting positions while at the same time adapting to your particular body shape is because the back rest has been designed in such a way that it mimics your spine. This allows for a better back-fit adjustment which means that irrespective of your spinal curvature, you can achieve an optimal posture and remain well aligned to your desk.
-Gentle seat cushion
Herman Miller Embody does not have any rigid or hard frames and even the seat cushion is well balanced and has the right level of ‘springiness’ to it, an d the edges of the chair as well are flexible such that there is no pressure on your legs and arms.
To sum it up, the strength of this office chair lies in the fact that it has been designed to ensure comfort with its adjustable back rest and can be used by people of any height and weight, it is however above average in weight.
