Pixelated Support Across the Seat and Back

Embody uses a network of small supporting elements beneath its sitting surfaces. These elements respond as your weight shifts, allowing the support to adapt to small changes in position.

Rather than relying solely on a thick cushion, this structure helps spread load across the seat and back. It is one of the main design differences to consider when comparing Embody with a conventional upholstered office chair.

BackFit Adjustment for a More Personal Fit

BackFit changes the position of the backrest to suit the curve of your back. It works with Embody's central spine and flexible ribs, allowing you to fine-tune how the backrest meets your body.

During an inspection, take time to try different settings. Look for comfortable contact through your back without feeling pushed forward. The best setting depends on your build and preferred working position.

Seat Height and Depth Adjustments

Set Your Sitting Height

Seat-height adjustment raises or lowers your sitting position. This helps you coordinate the chair with your desk while keeping your feet supported.

Start with your normal working setup, including footwear and any footrest you use. Your desk height and keyboard position also affect the overall fit.

Adjust the Length of the Seat

The seat-depth adjustment extends or retracts the front of the seat. This lets you change the amount of support beneath your thighs while leaving clearance behind your knees.

This adjustment is useful when a fixed-length seat feels either too short or too deep. Check the range in person if seat fit is a priority for you.

Armrests That Adjust in Height and Width

Embody's adjustable arms can be raised or lowered and moved closer together or further apart. These settings help position the arm pads beneath your forearms while leaving room for your preferred working posture.

When trying the chair, check that the armrests suit your desk clearance and allow your shoulders to remain relaxed. Confirm the fitted arms and their operation on the available chair.

Recline Resistance and Tilt Control

Tilt tension changes the resistance you feel when leaning back. A lighter setting makes reclining easier, while a firmer setting provides more resistance.

The tilt limiter controls how far the chair can recline. It is useful when you prefer a smaller range of movement for desk work and a wider range when leaning back. A recline limit is different from locking every part of the chair into a rigid position.

A Layered Seat and Flexible Upper Back

Embody's seat combines several layers that work together to provide support and allow airflow through the seat construction. Its upholstered surface has a different feel from an exposed mesh seat.

The narrow upper backrest leaves space around the shoulders for reaching and turning. Try these movements during inspection to see how the chair works with your usual desk activities.

Graphite or Polished Aluminium Base

• Graphite: A dark base finish for a more understated appearance.
• Polished Aluminium: A metallic finish that creates a brighter visual contrast.

These options describe the base finish. They do not, by themselves, identify the upholstery fabric, frame colour or manufacturing year. Please confirm those details if you require a specific combination.

Pre-Owned Condition and Preparation

The chair is listed in very good used condition, with steam cleaning and function checks completed before sale. As a pre-owned product, it should be assessed for both appearance and operation.

Cleaning does not mean that the upholstery, gas lift, arm pads or other components have all been replaced. Ask us about any particular component or servicing history that matters to your purchase.

What to Check During Your Inspection

• Upholstery appearance and any visible signs of wear.
• Arm-pad condition and armrest adjustments.
• Seat-height movement and ability to hold the selected position.
• Seat-depth adjustment and locking action.
• BackFit, recline tension and the fitted tilt controls.
• Base finish, castors and overall cosmetic condition.
