• How do I adjust my Embody Chair?
  
  To best answer this question, please see our Embody Chair Adjustment Guide. It has visual illustrations and written directions for adjusting the numerous features of the Embody Chair.
• How do I clean it?
  
  Base, Frame and Armpad Maintenance
  For normal cleaning, wash surface with a soft cloth soaked in mild detergent and warm water. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use solvents or abrasive kitchen cleaners.
  
  Balance Fabric Maintenance
  For normal cleaning, vacuum fabric as needed. Vacuuming picks up dust and reduces the need for professional cleaning. Do not brush fabric or use a vacuum attachment with a rotary brush.
  
  To spot-clean fabric, immediately soak up the stain with a soft absorbent cloth. Do not dry the stain completely or it may set. The longer a stain is allowed to remain on a fabric, the more difficult it is to remove.
  
  For water-based stains such as coffee, soft drinks, fruit juices, or milk use a water-based cleaner (specifically made for cleaning fabric) or a solution of mild (alkaline) warm soapy water (not overly soapy) applied with a damp clean cloth or sponge. Work the cleaner into a lather or foam. Never use hot water, it will set the stain. Avoid scrubbing.
  
  Other Care & Maintenance Considerations
  Do not over apply water or any liquid solution to fabric. Excessive wetting of the fabric with any liquid solution may result in permanent damage to the material.
  
  Do not rub too vigorously or you may damage the nap of the fabric or break fibers.
  
  Soak up all remaining solution and then use another clean cloth or sponge dipped in cool water to remove any residue.
  
  Let fabric dry thoroughly and then vacuum well before using.
  
  If large areas are soiled or stains resists cleaning, contact a professional cleaning firm.
• Which base option is more durable? Which option is lighter? Do the terms polished aluminum, titanium and graphite mean different material, or just different colors on the same material?
  
  All Embody Chair bases are cast aluminum and are the same weight. The material on all bases are equally durable, however they vary in cosmetic durability. By far, the graphite base shows the least amount of wear and tear, scuffs, etc.
• If I order braking casters, do all five wheels lock in place?
  
  All five casters have brakes, BUT not locks. With weight in the chair the casters roll freely, but with weight removed an internal brake causes friction on the wheels which does allow the chair to roll with some additional effort.
• What can I do if the fabric is worn within the 12-year warranty period?
  
  Herman Miller's 12-year warranty covers the chair for normal wear and tear. Fabric covers are replaceable. Warranty does not cover fabric that is soiled, stained, or damaged due to improper cleaning.
• I just received my Embody Chair and the height adjustment isn't working. What do I do?
  
  Embody Chairs are shipped in the lowest position possible and can experience the following:
  
  Vibration in transit can cause the cylinder to "settle" into the base deeper than intended. The chair will appear to be "stuck" in the lowest position. This can be corrected by:
  
  1. Standing over the chair
  Firmly pull up on the "joy stick" until it almost touches the rubber tension knob
  
  2. Grab the opposite side of the seat with your free hand
  
  3. Pull up on the chair while swiveling the chair back and forth
  
  This action will normally free the cylinder up so you don't experience this issue again.
  
  AND / OR
  
  The activation end of the cable may have come loose from the top end of the pneumatic cylinder. This can be corrected by:
  
  1. From the left side of the chair ( as seated) locate the activation cable. This can be found between the under side of the seat and the top of the tilt.
  
  2. Grasp the cable and attempt to pull it toward you.
  
  3. If the cable comes out you will can re-attach it by slipping the ball end into the fork on the top of the cylinder. You may need a flashlight to see the mechanism.
  
  4. Snap the cable collar into the holder on the top of the cylinder
  
  5. Activate the "joy stick"

You can't put a price tag on your health. But if you could, it would likely be greater than 25 cents a day, the cost to you of the Herman Miller Embody Chair over the length of its warranty. Inactivity in the office can, over time, lead to poor circulation, a leading cause of cardiovascular disease. A series of scientific studies have shown that Embody leads to greater circulation in its users than other office chairs, a lower heart rate, and therefore a lower risk of heart disease and associated health concerns. The chair itself is guaranteed for more than a decade, but the positive health effects it will bring about can make you happy and hearty late into life. All of this will cost you, at the very most, a quarter a day.
