Bruh, shipping, customs, is a pain ! If Malaysia is more transparent in their "Customs" it'll be less of a problem I think. I heard they charge according to using their own price sometimes.

helooo, just curious, do u feel obstructed when you try to cross legs or sit in weird postures?
*
Aeron, Sayl, Cosm are not comfortable for sitting crossed leg, etc. from my experience. Only the Embody is fine for those weird postures

I found something to complain about the Herman Miller chair, it’s not good for leisure when I just wanna relax at night and watch show on my PC. Thinking to get an extra lounge/lazy chair. Any recommendations? Or just go for ikea’s?
*
One of the reason why I went with the embody..the other HM chairs pretty much force u to sit properly

I feel that it's the same with Embody. Cause Herman Miller doesn't really let you lounge or lock in a recline position.
*
ah yea, there's no locking in recline. usually I just set it to recline to the max and put my leg on the table to lie all the way down, and watch movie from a suspended monitor laugh.gif

Anyone uses HM Sayl here? Tried one recently n really enjoyed it, more than the HM Aeron which i've tried before. Mainly due to its wider-back compared to Aeron which tries to fit to body..
*
I tried this one before when I was shopping for a new chair. Really comfortable, only concern was whether the rubber back is able to last without degrading into a sticky mess or something.
Also tried to sit cross legged on it, doesn’t work, so in the end, bought the embody

yea, tried a few chairs but got attracted by Sayl's comfort..

Havent had the chance to try embody yet, time to look out for one!

from online search, embody seems to be the whole package, looks & functions.
*
tbh, Sayl would be more comfortable than the embody laugh.gif
the only problem it had was too short of a seat, even after adjusting the seat pan to the furthest length, and width of the seat is not big enough for cross leg sitting

embody on the other hand, high priced plastic, that creaks and crack at every movements, not something that you would expect after paying >10k for one sweat.gif
but both length and width of the seat pan was just right for me

in the end it depends on your sitting habits, especially if it's for WFH setup where you need to sit long hours in front of the desk

Ya, thats the thing - Sayl is actually more comfortable than the usual Aerons we been seeing in opis.. thats y it took me by surprise n now thinking of getting one for own use.
I like the Sayl for being more 'settled' as compared to the creaks/cracks during movements which u highlighted earlier..

this is very interesting, given Sayl is the less-famous chair of HM
*
yea, it's a great one, I'm actually thinking of getting the sayl for my wife

have you tried the Cosm? what do you think about that?
I felt it's kinda nice but damn, no recline lock, can't use it properly for work

Hey there, I am close to 1.9m and my lower back hurts from time to time due to posture, on laptop most of the time due to work (facing downwards to screen).

Contemplating to get ergohuman. But the price point of 2k is kinda steep for a chair. Tested it in a showroom for less than 5 minutes and it seems to be adequate support on the lower back. Pofit is a no go as the headrest doesn't fit my height.

Yet to try out alterseat, wau and other models before finalizing my choice.

Does anyone within my height range manage to resolve/minimize the lower back discomfort with an ergonomic chair?
*
chair will not magically fix your problem sweat.gif

if not possible to connect to an external display, increase height of your laptop and use external mouse n keyboard

Anyone using okamura contessa and also HM aeron? Not sure which more suitable and comfortable for gaming and watch movie...im WFH too, but not really need to always 100ï¼… focus since im a stock trader...i tried both on trax and xtrax the garden, but i feel like both also almost same for me is comfortable, but i just sit.for 10-15min..both also syok. I just checked alot souce say that AERON is a WORK chair. Im intersted on aeron 12 years warranty, okamura just 5 years, so abit worry about the durabilty of contessa..and also i found that that is very less review on okamura chair too. What i like about the  contessa is can lock the recline, so maybe i can feel more chill when watching movie?

Anyone have experience with both Haworth Leaf and HM Aeron? Thinking of getting a used on one Carousell or something..

Aeron is nice, it has diff seat size so you need to try it out in person. I haven't been able to find a Haworth leaf to try, I have a Haworth Zody in MY and its nice.

Anyone have the Haworth Fern and JM Embody? Trying to compare the two and leaning towards the Fern cos cheaper and looks aesthetically nicer. BTOD also put them in the S-tier ranking for 2023
*
haven't got to try Haworth Fern myself but I have the Embody.
Bought Embody after testing all the HM chairs in the showroom, the only chair that allow me to sit in various positions without an issue (crossed leg, leg up, etc.).
typically sit on it like almost 18 hours daily, no pain = good chair biggrin.gif

but one common complain is the chair would creak when u move around

Very cool! Do you mind sharing the price and where you tested HM chair? Is it TRAX in KL? I'm considering between regular embody, regular embody and fern.. Fern is like 3x cheaper when on discount. hahaha
*
its about 280+k yen, I tested them in my local furniture store in Japan. i think TRAX should have them, but it's best to test them in person. one chair might fit one, but might not fit another
