Hey friends, it’s Mike here! If you’re into ergonomic chairs like I am, you might’ve heard of the Herman Miller Embody and the new Anthros Chair. I've been rocking the Embody for 3 years, but recently I tested the Anthros Chair for 30 days, and I've got some thoughts to share.
Price & Features
The Anthros Chair is priced at $1900, slightly less than the $2000 Embody. It’s packed with features like adjustable pelvis and upper back support, designed to fix your posture and reduce back pain. I used it for editing videos 8-10 hours a day, so I’ve got a good feel for it.
Pelvis & Back Support
The Anthros Chair aims to eliminate slouching by keeping your pelvis in place. It’s like sitting cross-legged but without the numb legs. The adjustable pelvis support and backrest make it harder to slouch, promoting a straight, healthy posture. In contrast, the Embody tends to push you into a more relaxed, slightly reclined position.
Comfort
In terms of comfort, the Anthros Chair matches or even surpasses the Embody. It’s soft yet supportive, with cutouts to relieve pressure on your sit bones and tailbone. However, the backrest of the Anthros is quite high, which may feel uncomfortable for some, especially if you prefer a lower backrest. The Anthros also features a tilt function for a zero-gravity feel, and a footrest for when you tilt back.
Wheel Base & Footrest
The Anthros Chair’s large wheels make it easy to move around, and the footrest is a nice addition. Plus, you can swap out the base for a fixed version if you prefer more room for your feet.
Armrests
The Anthros armrests are highly adjustable and removable, offering a lot more flexibility than the Embody’s. However, they lack a lock feature, which can be a minor annoyance if they shift out of place.
Design & Materials
Both chairs look stunning. The Embody has a sleek, alien-like design that still looks great after years of use. The Anthros, with options like walnut wood veneer and Camira Port leather, has a more executive vibe. Both chairs come with a 12-year warranty and a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Verdict
So, which chair should you choose? If you love to lean back and relax, the Embody is the way to go. But if you want a chair that promotes good posture and can be fine-tuned to your needs, the Anthros Chair is an excellent choice. After using the Anthros, I’ve noticed improved posture and less back pain, which makes it a solid investment for your health.
