Once upon a time, JJ and I used standard office supply store office chairs. And they were fine in my 20s.

But as I aged, the back pain of sitting at a desk all day set in, until we splurged for back-saving Herman Miller chairs.

Yes, they’re expensive. But they also carry an incredible 12-year warranty and will last!

I bought a Herman Miller Embody Chair for $800 nearly 9 years ago, and it’s still going strong. Inflation and rising costs of manufacturing the Embody chair in the USA have caused the price to skyrocket since then, though you can save big with Black Friday savings.

It was a life-changing purchase! Aches and pains quickly went away, making it worth every cent.

The Embody is highly adjustable and hugs your spine as you move. It’s not a chair that will knock your socks off the first time you sit in it and it doesn’t have excess cushioning, as that hinders ergonomics. But it’s a chair that is designed for ergonomic support and to keep you comfortable no matter your sitting position, even if you’re at a desk for hours on end. Even nearly a decade later, the aches and fatigues from sitting on cheaper chairs haven’t returned.

JJ, on the other hand, loves the Herman Miller Aeron chair. It’s just slightly less expensive with comparable options and is their best-selling chair, though I don’t find it as supportive or comfortable as Embody. But Aeron versus Embody is a popular debate, and it likely comes down to your resting posture while you work.

The Embody normally starts at $1,830, but for Black Friday through 12/4 is 25% off at $1,372.50. There are also options to upgrade the frame, upholstery, and casters.

Shipping adds $59, to bring the price to $1,362.87+tax where applicable.

Alternatively, The Embody Gaming Chair adds some additional cushioning and gel and is another popular option. This wasn’t available when I ordered my Embody and I haven’t had the opportunity to test it out. It normally sells for $1,995, but for Black Friday through 12/4 is 25% off at $1,496.25. Unlike the regular Embody, it includes premium frame and upholstery options at no additional cost and has upgraded hard floor and carpet casters at no additional cost.

Through 12/1, you can save a bonus 5% to drop the Embody Gaming to $1,421.44 with code: SAVE5

You can also get free shipping on Embody Gaming with code: TIM5

The Aeron Chair normally starts at $1,805, but for Black Friday through 12/4 is 25% off at $1,353.75. While Embody comes in one size that is adjustable for all body types, the Aeron comes in small, medium, or large, though most people will fit in medium. You can save money on the Aeron if you strip out the adjustable lumbar support, tilt limiter, fully adjustable arms, or multi-surface casters.

Through 12/1, you can save a bonus 5% to drop the Embody to $1,286.06 with code: SAVE5

Shipping adds $59.

Is a chair worth that kind of dough?

That depends. If you have no aches or fatiguing from other chairs, then it’s not. But if you work at a desk all day and do have any aches or fatiguing, then it’s likely a good investment. Divide the cost by the 12-year warranty, and it is more than justifiable.

What office chair do you use? Have you used the Embody or Aeron?
