Herman Miller Embody: good for Coccyx pain?

[Brevitt]

Hi,

I bought a Herman Miller Mirra 2 for long periods of home working and gaming but found it gave me coccyx pain (I don't think it is wide enough for my big 110kg rugby player's unit). I've had to resort to using a £20 coccyx cushion after only one day!

The online shop I bought the Mirra 2 from has suggested I return and replace with a Herman Miller Embody. Having never sat in one I keen to hear from anyone who has a Herman Miller Embody to ask how they find the seat pad:

Is it well cushioned compared to the Mirra 2?
Did it solve your coccyx pain?
Is it wider than the Mirra 2?
Should I look at something else?

Buy a size C Aeron, as someone who has back problems it is the only chair that I have used in 20 years that allows me to sit for up to 8 hours pain free.

I also use a Herman Miller Aeron. Mine is Size B, im 105kg broad shoulders. Size C is slightly larger

I have had mine for 15 years only had to do slight maintenance on the mechanism that locks the tilt in that time.
