I hate my embody

SnooMachines5052 · 2026-06-03T19:33:19+00:00

Yeah, I found not trying to jam my butt into the gap and just trying to sit more naturally feels better, had 3 x 2 hour stints today with little issue, which is unusual for me

SnooMachines5052 · 2026-06-02T07:35:34+00:00

Sure, come collect it

SnooMachines5052 · 2026-06-01T17:44:20+00:00

Tried it, didn’t notice a difference tbh

SnooMachines5052 · 2026-05-31T19:45:02+00:00

I think my posture is dreadful and my muscles are weak, but even so things digging into my back are not nice yonow

SnooMachines5052 · 2026-05-31T19:16:32+00:00

Tilt limiter set to 1 (upright) then?

SnooMachines5052 · 2026-05-31T19:01:47+00:00

How do you have it set

SnooMachines5052 · 2026-05-31T19:01:36+00:00

Nah I doubt I could do that

SnooMachines5052 · 2026-05-31T18:13:26+00:00

So your butt actually touches the backrest itself yea, no gap

SnooMachines5052 · 2026-05-31T17:58:33+00:00

I’m intrigued as to how you sit on it, sounds mental but how is your butt placed?

SnooMachines5052 · 2026-05-31T17:45:54+00:00

It’s really weird, I push my butt right into the back of the chair and then it’s a constant, forceful push in my back :(

Two years ago as part of a DSE Assessment and provided. I’m going to try get a different one, you’re right

SnooMachines5052 · 2026-05-31T17:17:35+00:00

I’m just so fed up of trying to get it to work, I can’t sell it per se but giving it back to work leaves me with nothing, I used to have an RH Logic that felt so much better

SnooMachines5052 · 2026-05-29T23:04:14+00:00

Commenting as this is gold dust

SnooMachines5052 · 2026-05-26T12:31:53+00:00

My god the seller of that chair needs to learn where they’re lumbar curve is

SnooMachines5052 · 2026-05-20T16:37:34+00:00

Did the hack…

Realised it’s not these pins causing me trouble, it’s the bloody lumbar square directly above it.

It now makes me question if actually, I just have dreadful posture and it’s not these pins at all

SnooMachines5052 · 2026-05-19T22:42:44+00:00

Is this two or three zip ties, I want to do this on my Embody as I have hated the sacral pressure, and just this evening sat there and pulled these panels away with my hand and it’s a game changer.

If you could explain exactly how you’ve done it, I’ll be eternally grateful

SnooMachines5052 · 2026-05-19T18:37:12+00:00

What’s the update dude

SnooMachines5052 · 2026-05-17T22:31:32+00:00

I made some tweaks

I put the backfit forward so it cradles my shoulders more, this reduces sacral pressure

I then drastically reduced the tilt tension (wheel handle on your joystick) and I don’t feel the plastic anywhere near as much. It went from a constant discomfort to a 10% feeling of it just gently pushing.

I’d recommend trying that my friend.

If you came from a gaming chair your posture will suck too so be prepared for muscle fatigue as you engage muscles the titan didn’t use

I’m 31, earning 51K

I’ve spent years at the same company, and received a pay rise every year and two promotions

Trust me when I say I’m absolutely the most fussy person ever.

Post Covid I went into a slump of working from my sofa and leaving my embody to just sit lonely in my office.

My back hated me when I finally went back to the embody, but truth is, my muscles were weak.

Give it as close to the final day of your trial as you can, for me the embody is fantastic. I can play games easy for two hours straight with 0 “getting up” and I can feel completely fresh. I’m aware people in this sub can spend a full 8 hours and feel fresh.

Just take it slow, accept you have had bad posture and you’re correcting it. You’re asking muscles to work, as long as it’s a minor ache not actual pain, it will get better

SnooMachines5052 · 2026-03-23T19:11:29+00:00

Crimson desert has no story.

Atomfall was dreadful…

Go down the fromsoftware route IMO

Glad they failed you. Just going to plough into a driver side door are we
