Herman Miller makes some of the best ergonomic office chair available, and two of its best models are the Aeron and the Embody. But which one is the best office chair for your money? Well, I've had time using and reviewing both of them for many months at a time, and it's a close call. Both are exceptional products that prioritise both style and ergonomics, and personally, I think they're two of the best chairs I've ever sat on (and there have been a few!) So in this article, I'll get into the nitty-gritty and compare these two chairs on a range of specific criteria.
In my comparison, I'll delve into the nuances, evaluating each chair's design, comfort, ergonomics and pricing to help you make an informed decision. Note that for the Aeron, I refer to the entry-model, which I tested for our Herman Miller Aeron review and which is currently around the same price as the Embody on the company's US website.
