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. 😄

The cheapest possible office chair I could find, with the cheapest possible lumbar support I could find. Also some covers for the bottom. I think all in all they’re like 60-70 euro. Adjusting the pillow up and down as needed is key to me.
It’s seriously more comfortable than a chair that cost me 120 euro before this one. And don’t get me started on gaming chairs.
I sat on those herman miller ones with the fancy looking back spines at work for like 6 months at least. No difference to me. Those are better quality but the price is ridiculous. Could buy a billion of the cheap sets for that price.
I usually jam a hard pillow in there, to support my lower back, but the ability to adjust it seems pretty brilliant.
