Me, I have a disease which is kinda wiping out my connective tissue over time, which includes those lovely soft discs in my spine, dammit. Biggest current issue with that is that it’s getting harder and harder to sit at my desk for more than ~15min without lower back pain ratcheting up…

So I was wondering if anyone here with lower back issues has found a chair that helped them sit?

From L-R, T-B, chair #2 is a saddle chair, which looks kinda interesting. Chair #4 is one I used to have, which seemingly tries to keep the spine perfectly straight-up, but it was also hell on my knees.


Now, chair #3 kinda looks like a Star Trek-style bumper-car that I’d want to ride in my very last visit to an amusement park. 😄

    For me it was getting rid of the chair and just sitting on the floor + floor desk. I am very naturally changing positions often and for some reason check my posture a lot more than when sitting in the chair. There are some communities online related to this. But it does take some getting used to. Same with sleeping on the floor, that was even more important for my back. But I cannot do it at work and I guess it requires that your legs and knees are still OK.
