If you’re interested in a Herman Miller chair but you don’t know where to start, this video is exactly why we went out and spent $11,440 buying their ergonomic lineup so we could test everything side-by-side. I’m Robert from BTODtv (btod.com), and because we sell office chairs, I get to put the most popular models through real comfort and adjustability testing—then tell you which ones are actually worth the money and which ones you should skip. I break down the big hitters like the Embody and Aeron, plus where chairs like the Mirra 2, Cosm, Sayl, Lino, Verus, and Vantum fit in the real world. The Embody is still S-tier for me even after 5 years—unique pixelated support, wide seat, easy movement, and the smoothest harmonic tilt I’ve used. The Aeron is the most refined mesh chair I’ve sat in, but it’s less forgiving if you don’t sit centered and “proper.” Then I get into the chairs that look cool but have tradeoffs (Cosm), chairs that don’t fit taller users like me at 6’2” (Sayl and especially Vantum), and where the value starts to get hard to justify (Lino). I also give alternatives like the Steelcase Amia, Haworth Zody/Soji, Eurotech Vera, and Fractal Refine when I don’t think a Herman Miller model makes sense.
