There’s nothing more important than a good chair in life. If you’re going to spend most of your waking hours sitting down, you might as well be comfortable! Comfort costs money though, but throwing style into the mix? That’s just priceless. Or beyond the realm of affordability, which is pretty much the exact same thing.

Logitech’s banking on having some fans who’ll be willing to cough up some serious cash for their next fancy chair, which has been designed in collaboration with Herman Miller, apparently the premiere name in giving your lower back some much needed support. At first glance, the chair actually looks classier than taking your date out to a romantic dinner at Spur.

Instead of the usual gamer aesthetic of ostentatious colours that makes the chair resemble a can of Monster Energy drink with maximum peacock flavour, Logitech’s Embody chair sticks to a simple shade of black with a few blue highlights. The Embody can also adjust itself to even the most crooked of spines born from a night of uninterrupted Overwatch jam sessions, with Logitech being so confident of the build quality that they’re offering a 12-year warranty on it.

The “enhanced gaming seat” position is meant to encourage a healthier posture, albeit at a hefty price: A staggering $1495. That’s a bitter pill to swallow, especially if you’ve been having nightly gaming sessions using cutting edge milk crate technology on which you roosted your butt and ruined your spine on for the last couple of years.

Herman Miller and Logitech G bring an unprecedented advancement to the gaming chair arena. Designed for gamers, Embody Gaming Chair is engineered to eliminate fatigue, improve posture, and enable players and esports pros to game better.

Is the Embody chair an incredibly expensive piece of furniture aimed at a market known for making impulse buying decisions? Absolutely. Do I want one? Oh hell yes I do.

      $100 add-on perhaps? I mean it might be like when you buy a fancy car. Base price is ridiculous but then extras cost an extra ridiculous amount. Also it will appeal to gamers who keep paying full price for incomplete games, so why not chairs?

        Wouldn’t be surprised. Like the new BMW where you have to pay extra to unlock features already installed. “Oh you want heated seats, that’ll be an extra $500 for the unlock code”
        “Oh you want turn signals, that’ll be an extra $25000 cause we have to actually install them”.

          That’s so unrealistic… As if there’d be an option for indicators… Psh.

          But a new BMW comes anyway with automatic turn signals. I mean you start moving your BMW in the direction you choose and others just get out the way! That being said BMW are not the only one with this fantastic feature.

    So it’s ugly, overpriced, and provides the same thing that my R950 office chair does. Got it.

      Wrong. You can’t say when you sit in your R950 office chair, “Ah yes, now this was a fantastically frivolous use of my hard earned cash.” Your R950 office chair deprives you of such a pleasure, which this Logitech chair totally can provide.

        Sure, but how many people can afford to drop an entire month’s salary on a single chair? I’d rather give up gaming altogether.

          Some people just have the cash to burn … Most of us though? Well we can only joke and laugh about the thought of buying something like this.

        Hey, R950 is a lot of money in today’s struggles.

          Too true, I’m being too kind to Pariah. R950 on a chair! Such thriftlessness!

            I mean, I bought this 4 years ago, and it’s still in perfect condition. So eh.

            Factor in inflation. Gasp … Alright, I’ll stop now with my BS.
