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. 😄

    Bought a used Steelcase Leap chair 9 years ago to deal with pain caused by disc problems. It’s built like a tank, amazingly adjustable, and completely alleviated my lower back pain. Still using it.

      I have an old, used, steelcase chair. the cushioning is a bit worn out (so not as soft as I’d like), but I play games a lot and I think it helps my posture quit a bit.
      Herman miller chairs are also great, but I preferred the steelcase chairs because they’re adjustable for more sizes than the Herman millers.

      I would definitely recommend getting them used, or buy the steel case refurbished. There’s companies that focus on refurbishing steels case chairs for nearly half price.
