DIY - adding extra foam to new regular embody on seat and back to match Logitech

Lmao how do you even come up with me supposedly having buyers remorse because a normal embody is $500 cheaper? Maybe in NA, in Europe we are not so fortunate with chair pricing and the secondhand market is practically nonexisting. I paid pretty much the exact same price for the logitech embody as for my scrim embody(which was discounted here to ~1330 euro's, thats ~1569 usd.)

The logitech embody is less comfortable to me than the regular embody. How could I possibly adjust the regular embody perfectly fine but somehow be lacking in adjusting the logitech embody? To me it sounds like you either have a logitech embody or want a logitech embody and are trying to come up with every excuse you can to justify this purchase.

The stripes in back with less padding make the chair noticably less comfortable. The foam strip that doesnt extend all the way to the bottom in the back makes the chair noticably less comfortable. The foam in the back makes additional noise that is not needed from a $1500 chair. The foam in the seat is less comfortable than the scrim layer: rather than offering support you just sink down into it. The backrest made me feel like the hunchback of the notre dame, I realise this might seem like an optimal gamer posture but it really wasn't what I was looking for. The seat pan is less comfortable than even the embody without a scrim layer.

The embody itself isn't the end-all of chairs either, there are massive improvements that could and should be made in regards to the wobblyness and adjustability of the armrests. Having multiple "setting modes" that you can save so you don't have to adjust the tension knobs every time you want to swap from sitting straight up and lounging would have been a nice addition aswell.

Maybe in an embody 2.0/3.0 model, I wouldn't hold my breath though and in the meantime I'll have to make do with an embody, woe is me.
