    Perhaps you need a walking desk.

    I think any adjustable chair would do; main thing is your back needs to be supported, ie those chairs where the back of the chair moves with your position. Probably though more important is exercise, that's usually the biggest cause. I find if I'm doing regular exercise, out on my bike once or twice a week and swimming etc my back is a lot better.

    started a topic @ss warmer aka I need a new chair

    @ss warmer aka I need a new chair

    Old age is kicking in, the back is finally listening to all those 'elf n safety bods regarding seating position and my current wooden chair () is no longer good enough to prevent a sore back after hours of "work" even if it is a nice chair to look at

    So, what do those on here have as their main home office chair?

    Are there any market leaders (other than LazyBoy) in the world of home office chairs? or should I just walk into the German equivalent of Staples, sit on a few chairs and pick the comfiest?

    I prefer to invest and get good quality rather than something that "will do".

Working...
