I'm in the market for a new chair as my Humanscale Freedom is on it's way out and too costly to repair.

I've been looking at various HM chairs and like the look of the ones mentioned above. I've tried an Aeron in the past and liked it, but wasnt too keen on the plastic edge. Has anyone tried (or know where i can try in the NW) to Embody and Vantum against the Aeron.

I'm looking for something for WFH and gaming.

I've bought an embody recently and really like it but it does have some issues. I'm 6" and fairly skinny and feel like I'm at the height limit for it. The back can't be adjusted up or down and the top corners slightly curve in, if you're taller or have a broad back it could cause some issues

The embody also seems to generate a lot of static electricity, recommendation is to use anti-static spray to stop it happening. First time it happened was pretty shocking (sorry), I touched a metal light socket and was zapped, though I'd need to call an electrician to check for earthing issues before researching what was causing it

Thanks for the feedback on the Embody, i'm 6'2" and 100Kg, so it may be a little on the small side. I'm going chair testing at the weekend and can hopefully find one somewhere.
 
I went for the Embody. I've had it a week now and am really liking it. Initially i wasnt sure are the lumbar support took some getting used to, but after a few days i've adjusted nicely.

I tried an Aeron at a local second hand place and wasnt too keen on the plastic edge. I preferred the Mira to it, even though it's cheaper. I did try a Steelcase (cant remember the model) and the back was too low for me.
