The Herman Miller Embody Gaming is the most expensive chair on this site at over €1,400. Co-designed with Logitech G, it brings Herman Miller’s clinically-validated ergonomics into a gaming context. We tested it for six weeks to answer the obvious question: is it worth more than twice the price of a Secretlab?

What You Get That Gaming Chairs Cannot Match
The Embody’s PostureFit SL system is its killer differentiator. Most chairs support the lumbar only. The Embody independently supports both the sacrum (base of spine) and lumbar (lower curve) — matching the way your spine naturally curves when you sit upright. The pixelated support matrix on the backrest micro-adjusts dynamically as you shift, redistributing pressure so no single point of your back bears sustained load.
👉 The copper-infused foam manages heat better than any PU leather gaming chair. After a 6-hour gaming session, the Embody runs noticeably cooler than the Secretlab Titan Evo in SoftWeave configuration.
The Recline Limitation
The Embody’s recline range of 94–104° will disappoint gamers who like to lean back for casual play. If you use recline regularly, this is not the chair for you. For forward-focused competitive gaming posture, the limited recline is actually a feature — it keeps you engaged.
